Napakamot siya sa nuo. “Uh, yeah, Fashie. Where is your ma'am?”

“She's inside her office po.”

“Can i come inside? I told her i'm coming.”

Mukhang nagdadalawang isip pa ito kung papayagan siya o hindi.

“Wait lang po, i will go to her office lang po, sandali lang.” The lady cashier immediately leave him there standing.

Timothy understands it and he appreciates that people around Fashie are nice and worry about her safety. Paano nga naman diba kung basta nalang siyang papasukin, mamamatay tao pala siya.

But do i look like a criminal? Damn, man. You look very fine.

Agad naman bumalik ang babae.

“Tulog po si Ma'am Fashie, Sir. Pasensya na po.” Anito.

Timothy sighed, he decided to wait her until Fashie wake up. He nodded at the lady and sit at the corner of the cafè. When he check his phone, it was already quarter to 12.

Napagtuuan nalang ni Timothy ng pansin ang isang libro at nagbasa. He remembered the last book he read, the rated spg story. It has lots of bed scene but he couldn't deny the fact that he learnt a lesson from it. And he's applying it right now.

Napaangat ang tingin niya nang marinig ang isang pamilyar na boses ng lalaki. It was one of Fashie's staffs, the one who asked if he could have the book because it was Fashie's book.

His brow met when the lady cashier look at him as he speak with the boy. Maybe talking about him? Ilang sandali pa ay naglakad ito palapit sa kaniya.

“Good morning, Sir. Pwede na po kayong pumasok sa office ni Ma'am, i know you po. Timothy Degustare, a captain and owner of one of the big cruise ships in Asia.” The boy staff said.

“Thank you.” Timothy said and nodded then stood up. He put back the book he's reading earlier bago nagtungo sa opisina ng dalaga na natagpuan niyang natutulog parin.

Nakayukyok ito sa lamesa at mukhang mahimbing ang tulog. Timothy walk near Fashie and slowly caress her baby cheeks. Napamura siya ng mahina nang maramdamang sobrabg init nito!

He put the back of his hand to her neck to check Fashie's body temperature. She's very hot, he mean, burning in fever.

Timothy whispered, “Fashie, wake up, come on. Do you wanna go back home? Sweetheart, wake up.” Ilang sandali ay unti-unting nagmulat ito ng mga mata at bumungad sa kaniya ang namumula at pagod nitong mata.

Timothy brush Fashie's hair, “you're burning in fever. I'll bring you home.” Umungot lang ang dalaga at napapikit muli, pagod na pagod ang itsura.

He carry Fashie carefully saka lumabas ng opisina ng dalaga. People are looking so as her staffs.

Lumapit siya sa lady cashier, “she have fever. I'm gonna bring her home, take after the cafè.” Aniya saka tuluyan ng lumabas ng gusali habng ang buhat-buhat niya ay tulog sa mga bisig niya.

Binalikan niya ang paper bag na dala upang may maipakain dito mamaya bago uminom ng gamot saka pinaandar ang kotse patungo sa condominium building.

He stop to a drug pharmacy to buy a tablet of medicine for fever.

Binuhat niyang muli ang dalaga hanggang sa condo unit nito at dahan-dahang inilapag sa higaan. He took off her heels and blazer then cover her a thick blanket. One sheet isn't enough so he tried to find another blanket and he found one inside her closet.

Mabilis siyang bumalik sa groundfloor upang kunin ang mga paperbag at gamot na binili. Binalikan niya si Fashie na balot na balot ng kumot.

Ang alam niya masama sa balat na may make-up habang nasa kama kaya inilabas niya ang cellphone at nagtungo sa kaibigan ng lahat; Google.
