73 - Peeling
HE IS on the beach. Carefully waiting for Fender to return. Two weeks ago. No Fender and no Uno to return. He wanted to be discouraged and cry but he chose to be brave. She knew the man was coming back, just maybe it hadn’t finished what it was supposed to end.
Where are you now? You said you would be back the next day. He sighed slowly. When it doesn't come back, the two of them will be in love.
Every day he waited on the sand and watched the ocean to see if a ship was coming. He prayed every day, ‘don’t joke about the weather again and play with their feelings.
When you really don’t have to meet ‘kin ginataang catfish, you’re dead to‘ kin really Fender. He laughed at the thought. His mouth was salivating again and the other day he was still looking.
He wants to eat food with honey. Anything cooked as long as it has coconut milk! He then caught a glimpse of the coconut tree next to the house. It was high and it was impossible for him to climb.
No Fender, eh. No one can see ‘me climbing the coconut tree.
Once the young man disappeared from his brain. His attention was more focused on the coconut. He will go up. He could climb it, he had to look for a staircase. He found one when he once acted in the back.
He immediately stood up and went to the back. Uno's house is big so he has to sweat a lot before he reaches the back of his house.
"The size of his house, no one lives there." he shuddered when he saw the portable laddeer needed niya. He took it immediately. He didn't have a hard time because he had a tire.
He was very happy when he got five coconuts and three of them. He didn't have a hard time peeling it off especially and he was used to the hardship. He grew up bruised closed on his stomach and cousin now he doesn’t know how is that.
He brought the coconut inside and gave it to Uno's AI, who would scrape it for him. Uno probably won't scold him, he designed the AI to help with the kitchen work so that's okay.
All the men's equipment is good and complete. There is a big TV in the living room so when he gets bored, he just watches Netflix until he falls asleep on the sofa. So once, he was in the painting room and painting. Almost all of his paintings are of Fender’s face and of the convent. One of these days, he will return to Barrio Felopina and greet the children. He will also personally talk to Mother Jean and Father Felipe when he returns to Manila. He wanted to say a lot to the person who helped him when he didn't remember and Father Felipe was that person.
He cooked more than two hours. He prepared two dishes and cooked them. A Passive Salmon with Milk and Baked Crab. No catfish so it's okay.
“Mmm! Delicious!" She closes her eyes in delight when she tastes her cooking. Why did he just now think of it?
He had almost finished his cooking and if he hadn’t remembered that he didn’t have a dish tonight and he was going to cook, he wouldn’t have stopped.
He immediately went outside the house and lay down in a hammock. Ventilating. He wanted to eat something again and he didn't know what. He was still wondering what. The air was cold and it felt good so he closed his eyes for a moment. As she thought about what food to put in her stomach next, Blessy realized that she had fallen asleep in the hammock.
It was late at night when he woke up and when he opened his eyes, he saw the four large corners of his room with Fender.
How did I get here ... I was just in a hammock before and ... Fender!
Her blood flowed automatically when she remembered the man who had lifted her up. He ran quickly to the door and headed straight for the stairs. She knew the young man was in the kitchen at the time cooking food for—
“Hey easy, you might fall. Zerus will even kill me because of your stupidity. ”
He was depressed when he saw that Uno. It was now cooking and he didn’t know if it was serious or joking.
"Where's Fender?" He looked around. What she wanted to see was the man, not it. Fender is what he wants to see! “Is it in the bathroom? Outside? Where is he? How long have you been back, ah. ”
It did not respond. It just stared at him as if reading his movements and gestures.
"Blessy ..."
"Where is he?" She covered her nose with what it was cooking. "What is that?" The fork in the nose! She looks sick.
"Garlic and Parmesan Pan-Fried Shrimp and Roasted Garlic Soup and Artichoke Croutons." It boasts and has a French accent.
"What?" He approached the food he had prepared just to run to the sink and vomit.
"Hey hey, what's wrong?" Uno was alerted and quickly attended to him. "Are you okay?"
He waved his hand to caress her back. "Don't you ever think." he glared at it. "Tell me, where is Fender ?!" Even though he was vomiting, he was still able to shout at the young man who could not breathe. "Uno!" he glanced at it and looked at it badly.
“You’re pregnant?” anas it while just looking at him
"Huh?" He was stunned.
"He'll be happy to hear that."
Uno's eyebrows met and he nodded when he spoke again which he stopped.
“In the Hospital, Blessy. Zerus is in the hospital. ”
No! He was suddenly deaf to what he heard.
“Hey calm down. Do not Cry! Your Fender Hearst is not dead yet. ” Uni quickly grabbed him and gave him a tissue. "My friend will kill me if he finds out that I made you cry now that you are still pregnant."
Somehow, he laughed at Uno's reaction. She was confused as to where she would be happy, to find out that the young man was not dead or to find out that she was pregnant.
“There, smile. You're not going to kill me. "
He was distracted in no time and turned his back on it. "The stench of what you cooked, maybe you should take it off and tell me the truth about where that good man really is and you've been back for a long time?"
It grinned. “You get cursed, Blessy when you're pregnant. I didn't expect your behavior to change. ”
His eyes widened at Uno who immediately raised his hand. "Yes, I'll take it off and put it in the refrigerator!" It quickly put the cooked food in the food container and put it in the refrigerator. "Let the air cool in your room first, tomorrow we will go to Manila."
“Because there What about Fender? ”
"Because he's in the hospital."
His eyes widened again looking at it. In one hand he had the knife he had picked up to wash. "Will you tell the truth?"
"Blessy, do you plan to be your son's knife ?!"
He stopped laughing. "What are we going to do at the Hospital?"
"Because the man you love is there, confined. Sick. He contracted dengue so he is very thin. ”
“What? My God!"
"Kidding." It grinned. “It's just healing. We got into a fight when we left Manila but Fender is okay, so I'm here to pick you up and take you to your good wife. ”
He smiled at the last thing he said. Wife. He dropped the knife and stepped towards the stairs, he would go back upstairs and thank Above that Fender had given them a child to form the two of them. A chance for the two of them.
Blessy's gaze was fixed on Uno's wristwatch as he drove his car. They were already in Manila and they had just gotten off the yacht they owned, then a vehicle came to pick them up. The man was rich, that was his calculation.
"You like this watch?"
“No. I would like to ask what time it is. ”
"It's still early. Rest first. We have two more hours to travel. ”
He did not say a word when he said that word as he turned his gaze to a large church. He slowly bit his lip and prayed fervently in his seat, the magnitude of the sin he had committed but would Father Felipe and Mother Jean come and understand him.
Blessy just decided to keep an eye on every establishment they passed. He fixed his eye on the gigantic billboards and the names of each building.
"Hayes Group Of Hospital," he read in a large hospital they passed.
"Do you know?"
He shook his head at Uno's question. "No, why did you ask?"
It just shrugged. “I remember someone mentioning‘ me ’Zerus before. You were allegedly shot at HGOH, ”he simply promised while continuing to drive.
"Yes, I was visiting a fellow nun and then I didn't expect anyone to shoot me."
"Fuck you, Ramona!"
"Huh?"
"Nothing." Shake it. "I'm happy that all your memories are back and your relationship with Zerus is fine," he glanced at her for a moment and smiled.
He looked at it in horror and raised an eyebrow at it. The duration of two hours, he felt his seatbelt would swell. She would love to see the man and hug him. He then told her that she was pregnant with their two children and that he would be the father.
Not yet, I love you so much son ... He gently stroked my stomach. She believes what Uno said that she is pregnant. He has been delayed for 1 month and his mood is always changeable.
His forehead furrowed as they descended into a large house. Mansion, literally say. He immediately turned his gaze to Uno who got out of the car. He didn't wait for it to open for him, he went down voluntarily.
"Did I think Fender was in the hospital?"
"Did I say hospital?"
His eyes deepened as he looked at Uno secretly. It immediately laughed and mumbled. “He was not in the Hospital himself. He is not allowed there. You probably know why it's forbidden. Zerus is here and knows if he is waiting for our arrival. Let’s go? ”
He nodded. He knew Uno was telling the truth. Sincere is the twinkle in its eyes. He first took a deep breath and then went with it into the mansion.
He no longer bothered to look around the house. What was important to her was to see Fender so she immediately pulled the man to take her to the room of the man she loved.
"Don't be surprised by what you see, huh?" its a reminder that he ignored.
“There,” he said, “In this room, Fender is in bed. Resting and in case you see him asleep, ‘don’t wake up. "That man is resting," he said simply and for a moment thought, "I'll go to the kitchen first and have coffee." Then it turned away.
He quickly turned the doorknob when Uno turned around and left him alone in front of the large room.
Exactly opening the door, he saw there the man resting on the bed and many bandages. He approached the man quickly at four o'clock and cried when he saw that his face was also wrapped in a bandage. Only its mouth was not bandaged.
"My God! What happened to you? ” he held out his hand and gripped it tightly and before he could choke, he felt Fender squeeze his hand.
"Hi love..."
"Fender!"
“Yeah, I'm still alive. Don’t cry. ”
He frowned and bit his lip slightly. "I didn't cry, ah."
"But you were about to."
