48: Husbands duty

Magsimula sa umpisa
                                    

I placed my hand on his head and stroke his hair. I felt him encircling his arms around my back and hugged me.

Baby, ang sweet ni Daddy no? Well minsan— it'll be great kung makukuha mo ang side na ito ni Jhiro. Sweet and caring.

We headed to the kitchen at nagulat ako ng may makitang bisita doon. Just one look at his Orange pero mukhang red na buhok I knew it was him.

" Seven!? "

I called him out napangiti pa ako kasi akala ko kasama niya si Seo unnie but when I looked around she doesn't seemed to be here.

" Jhiro-ya.. 가슴이 아프다. "
[ Jhiro my heart hurts ]

" 정말 너무 아파요. "
[ It really hurts so much ]

Sabi nito habang malayo ang tingin sa bintana.

Bes, pengeng tissue. Nosebleed 'e. Sa Asawa ko pa lang pakiramdam ko kukulangin na ako ng dugo dahil sa nosebleed sa English niya mas lalo namang ma no-nosebleed ako dito kay Seven! Mag Korean ba naman!? Hello.. Normal person here!

We stood there in silence. Hindi naman ako makakibo dahil wala akong kamalay malay sa sinasabi niya. Ang alam ko lang ay mukhang pinagsakluban si Seven ng langit at lupa. He was so low spirited na hindi mo iisipin siya ang dating Seven na nameet ko noon sa Korea. Mukhang hindi rin ito natutulog. He looks so tired. What happened!? Subtitles please? — I mean Translator please!? Bumaling ako kay Jhiro at iminuwestya kung ano ba ang sinabi ni Seven, but my so ever poker face husband na wala atang pakealam sa problema ni Seven ay hinila ako papuntang kitchen.

" Eat, I'll handle Seven. "
Sabi nito pagkatapos akong paupuin sa lamesa. Nakahain na lahat ng mga paborito kong pag-kain kasama na din pati favorite kong fruits, there's warm milk and plenty of veggies. Magpo-protesta pa sana ako kaso hindi talaga siya aalis until I've started eating. Kinuha ko ang tinidor at tinusok yung friend chicken pero nang maisubo ko na iyon at maamoy Ito pakiramdam ko bumaligtad ang sikmura ko. I feel sick. Bulok na ba yung chicken? Napatakip ako sa bibig ko. Masusuka ako sa amoy nito.

" What? What's wrong? " Jhiro asked anxiously.

Naduwal ako at pakiramdam ko any moment isusuka ko lahat nang kinain ko kahapon. I hurriedly stands up at nagtatakbo sa pinakamalapit na C.R. Thank God umabot naman ako sa banyo at nagduduwal sa toilet bowl. I can feel Jhiros presence sa likod ko. But I felt too sick to talk. He was patting my back at hinahawakan ang buhok ko habang sumusuka ako. Nasuka ko na yung pinainom na gatas saakin ni Emma kaninang umaga, I haven't eaten my breakfast yet kaya pakiramdam ko hinang hina ako. I sit there sa sahig nang C.R habang nasa likod ko si Jhiro. Natapos akong magsuka pero pakiramdam ko nanlalambot ako.

" Do you want anything? Umm.. should I carry you to bed? Want me to call the Doctor? You don't have to eat the chicken. Damn, I should've cook pasta or soup instead. Do you want me to buy you some of your favorite pies? " Sunod sunod na tanong ni Jhiro. I glanced at him after flashing the toilet. He look so pale and worried. I didn't know pero napatawa ako bigla. " pfft "

" Are y-you feeling ok now? "
Tanong niya uli. Yung mukha ni Jhiro na mukhang kinakabahan is priceless. This was our very first experience through parenthood I guess. It's new to us both pero yung effect kay Jhiro parang mas doble. Nakakatawa kasing isipin na ang fearless business King ng FLS company ay sobrang clueless ngayon, it was like a whole new world for him. Hindi niya kasi mawari ang gagawin saakin. I'm his wife and he'd been doing this with extra effort kahit medyo over acting na siya. Pulled yourself together husband!

" Thank you Jhiro. " Sabi ko at hinawakan ang kamay niya.

" It's my duty to support you wife. " he said and squeezed my hand.
