Zenith Code

Chapter 55: Twin Trouble

† Twin Trouble †

It was another bright and sunny morning in the Zenith Estate. Everyone has been busy making last minute renovations to their houses, everyone except Anima and Octavius. They were too busy to think about house decorations and furniture kaya inasa na nila ito sa isang Interior designer which got the job done fairly quick.

Their house was decorated with simple yet practical furniture. It revolved around the color scheme of white and wood like their house, their kitchen was filled with smart gadgets to help them lessen their time for preparing meals, and the rooms were decorated according to their request. They had their own separate office to focus on their work, Octavius had the room with great lighting because he didn't want to spoil his eyes by reading in a dark room. It was a simple office with a long oak table and an office chair, there was also a big dark wood bookshelf behind him that is yet to be organized since he didn't have the time to fix it. A mini living room was in front of his table whenever he needed to recieve guests and it looked like a typical corporate boss office. Anime on the other hand had a dark room with a table and a comfortable chair. Her room was disorganized with her medical book stacked on the floor beside it. She had no idea what kind of office she wanted so she just requested a table and chair to put into an empty room.

So far their schedules have been less hectic. Octavius is busy overseeing and managing the whole estate, he is the busiest amongst all the moving bodies in their organization pero sanay ito sa trabaho. He was trained to lead and handle operational duties kaya hindi napapagod si Octavius, plus he usually exercises in the morning and eats a well balanced diet kaya palaging malusog ang katawan niya.

Si Anima naman ang kabaliktaran nito, palagi siyang napupuyat, hindi nageexcercise at hindi rin kumakain sa tamang oras. Nakakalimutan na nga rin niyang uminom ng tubig buti na lang andyan ang uhaw para senyasan ang kanyang katawan ng kailangan nitong uminom ng tubig. Anima had no choice because she still had work to do and she finished it. She has now a lot of free time since her sisters started working again, pero hindi nito maeenjoy ang kanyang maluwag na schedule dahil pagkatapos niyang tapusin ang kanyang namiss na assignment ay nagkasakit ito.

Nakahiga ito sa kanilang texas king size bed. Pinagbigyan ni Octavius si Anima sa kanya gusto na gawing canopy bed ang higaan nila dahil sensitive si ito sa ilaw. Ang bawat gilid nila ay may sariling night stand at may malaking tv sa tapat.

[Beep .. Beep .. Beep.. Beep]

"Ughh" Reklamo ni Anima at tinanggal ang thermometer sa kanyang tenga.

Napatingin ito sa maliit na screen at nakita ang kanyang resulta. Mayroon itong 40c na nakasulat kaya napabuntong hininga si Anima. Bumagsak ito sa kanyang unan na agad niyang pinagsisihan dahil naramdaman niyang kumalog ang utak nito. Napahawak si Anima sa ulo niya at tiniis ang migraine na sumunod rito, she's been sick for a few days now and Anima knew what was happening to her.

"This is bad" Reklamo nito.

Umikot ikot ito sa kama nila dahil naisip na niya agad kung anong sakit niya. Kompleto kasi siya ng symptoms eh; Lagnat, Fatigue, Skull crushing headache, at Nausea — Lahat ng ito ay symptoms ng Dengue. This started with a cold then it started getting worse which scared her because it she's sick then she won't get to go their vacation.

"You awake?" Tanong ni Octavius making Anima groan.

She turned to him and saw that he was coming out of the bathroom with a nice suit while fixing his tie. Hindi alam ni Octavius na malala na ang sakit ni Anima kasi madalas na niyang makitang may sakit ito, he thought it was one of her frequent colds.
