Chapter 5 5

Ellesa's P. O. V

Uhaw ........

I'm thirsty, I want water. I feel dry My throat. So gradually if I opened my eyes. The white kesami opened up to me.

I rolled my eyes across the room. Then the sight turned to my hand with the What thing attached. Then I realized, I was in the hospital.

But where? It doesn't matter. All I want now is to drink water.

So I looked at The little table on the side of my bed. There I saw a basket of different kinds of fruits and one bottle of distilled water.

I'll just take it when he opens the door. And spit there My wife. I sat up and looked at him.

"Babe." I said. But it's just like air coming out of my mouth because my voice hasn't returned to normal, especially since my throat is dry.

He walked closer to me. I followed him with my gaze until he stopped at the side of my bed and stared at me as well.

I remember what happened yesterday. I remember that he chose his friend more than me, so I was angry with him.

We stared but he was the first to leave. He cleared his throat.

"How do you feel?" He asked.

"I feel thirsty." I want to say it out loud. But it was like a soft whisper, even me don't understand what I am talking about. Blame my throat.

"What?" He asked again, when he could not understand what I was saying.

So I pointed to Just The Water. And mouthed "I want water."

He immediately poured water into a glass and gave it to me.

I make loud gulp, and feel the water make its way to my throat down to my stomach. Satisfaction is what I feel right now after I fill my thirst.

After I drank, I gave Nate Ang Wala a glass.

"Are you hungry?" I nodded.

"Ok. Take a break while I'm preparing your food"

It's just casual He said but it looks like there are already a few thousand volts of electricity flowing through my body now.

It's the first time in our marriage life that he takes care of me. It flutter my heart. I wish I was always sick. Hahaha. Crazy of me. Who can be a mad person Who dreams of getting sick?

"What are you smiling at?" He asked me as the food landed on the table. I just shook my head.

"Eat it. The doctor said earlier that you can go home when you wake up." He added while sitting on the chair just on the side of the bed.

I ate quietly. After that, he put it away.

Nate started packing our things. We're going home, the doctor said earlier that it's ok that I was prescribed. He just prescribed me medicine and vitamins that I need to take. It's already noon so we have to hurry.

I know the doctor because Nate took me to our hospital. And it was said that I was also unconscious for two days.

None of us spoke the whole trip. I noticed Nate glancing at my behavior. Maybe it wonders at my silence.

I just want to sulk with him. I'll just see what his reaction will be. But honestly I'm still sulking at him. Who doesn't?

I first walked to the condo and then went straight to her room.

When I was in the room, I immediately went to bed. I also waited a few minutes just in case Nate would follow in case no. I started to get annoyed with him again. Why is he still gone until now? Where else can he go? Maybe my tampu-tampon isn't effective? Tsk. He will take care of his life.

****

"Ellesa." I was startled by someone who shook me. So I opened my eyes and saw my wife's handsome face.

I fell asleep waiting for him earlier.

"We're going to eat." I got up.

"Wait I can't cook ah?" I asked him and looked at him with astonishment. He just shrugged his shoulders and started walking.

"C'mon. The food might be cold." And left the room.

O .... k. Maybe he cooked.

I followed him. I caught him standing at the table and looking at me. I immediately turned my eyes to the table and was surprised by what I saw.

What's up? How much food is on the table? And on the side of the table there is a big cake. I immediately read what was written.

'Belated Happy Birthday Ellesa'

I covered my mouth. I feel my cheeks heat up. I didn't expect this. I can't believe what I see now.

My gaze shifted to my husband. He just silently watched me. I looked around at my wife and then at the table.

I can't find the right words to say. So I pointed the table and look at him.

"D-did you ..... A-are you ... H-how ....---" I can't finish what I'm going to say.

"I'm sorry it's belated, I never knew when's your birthday. I hope you like it." She's sorry.

The corners of my eyes heat up. And I ran the little distance between Nate and me and hugged him tightly. My heart is overflowing with joy.

"I like it babe. No. I love it. I love you. You don't know how much you made me happy today. I really thought I wouldn't have a birthday with you. Did you know I was upset with you when I found out I chose more You still have your friend than me? Do you know how much I was hurt then? Do you know --- "he cut me off.

"Shhh. Stop crying. That's why I'm sorry." He whispered in my ear.

We stayed like that for a quite long time (me hugging him, I was sobbing while he caressed my back). When my sobbing subsided. Hopefully not after this.

He has separated from me. I don't want to but I'm hungry too.

"Let's eat? The food might be cold." He said. I smiled and nodded.

"Did you cook it?" I asked as we sat down.

"Yeah, earlier when you were still asleep. But I'm not the one who baked the cake. I just ordered this." He answered while putting rice on my plate. I feel my cheeks heat up again. The simple thing he does brings great joy to my heart. It's like being tickled unknowingly.

I smiled watching his serious face.

"Thank you Nate." Smiling I promise. He immediately looked at me. And averted his gaze.

"Let's eat." That's all he said. And we started eating.

Nate enjoys cooking, I think he cooks even better than me. The pleasure of feeling that the person you love has cooked for you.

When we finished eating and he helped me put away our food and I washed the dishes.

After that we went to the living room and watched a movie.

"You know babe, of all my birthdays it's The happiest." I said as I tightened my embrace with her. I can already feel the heat of his body.

"Why weren't you happy on your last birthday?" He asked.

I looked at him.

"No. Especially since I'm the only one celebrating it. Since my older brother left." Sad I Promise.

"You have a sibling?" He asked

"Yeah. My big sister. That's why I'm happy to have you by my side." Smiling I said. And he looked. His eyes focused only on the tv.

I remember that it was the company's anniversary next month.

"Don't worry next month anniversary of the company, and I know they will come home with his wife and child. I'll introduce you to him." I said more. He didn't say a word.

"It's enviable, she already has a happy and perfect family. Do you know how cute their daughter Sabrina is? That's why I want to have children so that I can also experience the feeling of having a child being carried and taken care of." My long litany. While tracing my finger in his chest.

"Do you want us to make a baby today?" Nate said and smiled foolishly.
