I woke up in an unfamillar scent.

Naalala kong nasa Seda hotel pala ako. Dito ako dinala ni Pops kagabi para makapagpahinga matapos ang mga nangyari kahapon. Naramdaman kong sumakit bigla ang ulo ko kaya napahiga ulit ako sa aking higaan. I reached for my phone na nasa ibabaw lang ng drawer habang nakapikit pa rin ang mga mata ko. I peeped on it and saw some notifs that isn't worth to check out, really.

20 missed calls from my husband.

5 calls from Lea.

2 calls from Pops.

Message texts from my plan.

Nothing special. So I decided to shut it off and put it back where it came from at nagkumot. Matutulog nalang siguro ako ulit, inaantok pa ako e. I'll just take an off, just for today. God, I really need this recreation, rest, and most especially sleep thingy in order for me to partially heal and go on with my life bearing this shitty broken pieces that I still have to fix within myself. 

Narinig kong may kumatok sa pinto ko. Hinayaan ko lang itong magingay sa labas. Little did I know that the door clicked and someone got inside my room. "Regine? I'll come in, okay?"

I smiled.

Bumangon ako sa aking kinahihigaan, put an effort to see him kahit na masakit tong ulo ko. "Hey, you should lay down still."

"No, ayos lang. Kung alam ko lang naman palang ikaw yan edi pinagbuksan na kita." I did feel guilty. Sorry naman kung hindi ko siya natunugan.

"It's okay. Naiintindihan ko Reg." he held my hand. "Shit Regine, you're burning hot!"

"H-ha?" Hinawak-hawakan ko ang sarili ko at kinapa ang sarili kong leeg. Shit. I really caught fever on me. Damn it.

"Teka lang." he went outside. Pagbalik nito ay may dala na itong maliit na planggana at dumiretso sa kusina ng kuwarto ko. I heard some flowing water, I suppose he's giving me a cold press. I was just wrapping myself tightly with a blanket, ngayon ko lang naramdaman ang lamig ng buga ng aircon. Shit naman o.

I peeped and saw Robin going into my direction. He put the basin on top of my drawer, setting aside my phone on the headboard of my bed. "Hinaan ko lang yung aircon. Harap ka sa'kin." he stood up and did his thing, and started squeezing the face towel and applied it into my face first.

"Shit."

"Shh. Sorry, sobrang lamig ba? I mixed it with cold water na galing sa ref kasi mainit yung tubig na lumalabas sa gripo." pasintabi niya. Kaya naman pala. I just nodded in reply, saying it's okay and just apply it slowly.

In the middle of what he's doing, i asked him. "Why are you here? Wala ka bang trabaho?"

"Off." tipid nitong sagot. "Isali ko na ring punasan yung braso mo nang malamigan ka ng konti, okay lang?"

"Mmhmm." I said, letting go of my blanket. Hinayaan ko siyang gawin ang gusto niya. Winakli naman niya ang kumot and there, my arms were exposed. He slowly pulled it to him and put it on his lap while making another tight squeeze on that basin. Nagsimula na siyang punasan ang mga braso ko. It made me feel lighter. Thank God.

"Off? You should be resting and shouldn't came here." sabi ko nalang. Baka naman kasi nakaabala pa ako sa kanya.

"I can't rest when I know that you're not okay. Hindi ko maaatim na nalalaman kong hindi ka naman pala ayos. And now this, knowing you're in pain, I can't bear myself having fun and going out by myself or even with other people." mahaba nitong sagot.
