74 - Condition

He did not utter a word. He just tightened his grip on her hand and there he drew strength to calm him down. Just leave it's been two weeks, and now it's going to be opened to him?

"What happened?" he asked tearfully. “You’ve been gone for two weeks and then you’re going to open this to‘ kin ni Uno? What happened to your face? Why do you have bandages on your arm and leg? Did you get burned, broke a bone, what? ”

He laughed softly at what he said and squeezed his hand again. “I’m okay, love. Just a few days and these bandages you say will be removed. Lie down next to me. I can't see you but I want to feel you. ”

Her longing for the man melted away and she lay down next to him. It’s just ideal that it won’t be touched and hurt. Only later and he will face Uno after that! This allowed the situation of the man she loved to be like this. It let Fender suffer the pain while it was, just having coffee in the kitchen ?!

“Don’t think about it. Uno is not at fault here, love. ”

He bit his lip, "I didn't say anything."

"I know you."

He did not utter a word. He just kept staring at it as it held his hand. He had nothing to say. She would have liked to mention here the news that she is pregnant with their two children but in this situation, she will postpone it first. Then he would tell her when her condition was okay. Maybe ‘cause when she says she’s pregnant, she’ll suddenly get up and jump.

"I have something to confess," he later promised.

"What?"

"That's why I took so long to come back because Uno and I got into a fight."

“Yes, raw. Uno told me earlier. ”

"Did he tell you everything?"

He shook even though he couldn't see her. “No. He just said, you got into a fight. ”

"That's true."

A moment of silence ensued.

“The truth is, Blessy, I remember everything. I remember why no matter what I do, I don’t remember you and other events of my life I see. I can’t find you in the memory placed on ‘me. Everything that is where you are, is erased. The night before Uno and I returned to Manila, all my lost memories came back. Remember we have been together since we were children ... ”

F-fender ... He can't make a voice. He just kept staring at the young man who was speaking even though his face was bandaged.

“My intention so I returned to Manila was to confront Ramona. But things went south and I end up like this. ” It laughed.

He, in turn, was stunned. She found it difficult to keep up with what the man in front of her was saying. There was nothing funny in what it said, if anything, he should have laughed earlier.

"But it's okay now, love," he promised again, "After a week, I'll remove these bandages. Maybe tomorrow, I’ll remove Uno ‘tong in my eyes blindfolded so I can see you. God knows how I’ve missed you so much! ”

“Sorry to say that man, but you’re not allowed to get rid of those. My Surgeon friend won’t let you. ”

Uno suddenly entered carrying a cup of coffee and a box of cookies. He was obviously very hungry since he threw what he cooked last night. It sank and didn't cook anything else. He said that he would just eat it when he arrived in Manila, which he just let go.“Fuck Uno! How can I see Blessy’s face? ”

He laughed at that angry question of his Fender. Even in his voice, he already knew that he was lying in bed.

"That's your problem!"

It was about to get up when he stopped immediately. "Hey-hey love, relax!" he said, “Maybe Uno will feel sorry for you tomorrow. For now, let's follow what his surgeon friend said — wait, surgeon ?! ” He, on the other hand, could not believe what he heard. He quickly turned to Uno and stared at him in such a way that it would melt in fear.

“What? Did I say surgeon? ” Uno asked, now sitting comfortably on the single sofa. Drinking coffee and eating cookies.

“Yes. You say, your surgeon friend won’t let you. I mean, so Fender has a bandage on his face because he had surgery? ”

It stopped biting cookies and suddenly stood up. “I'm cooking something. Fuck! I almost forgot it— ”

"Uno!"

"I'm out!"

His heart sank when Uno suddenly ran out of the room. He wanted to chase it and twist his neck to tell her why but he preferred to calm down.

"Mahal..."

He sneezed slowly. “It’s okay, love. I know I am the reason why you are required to do this. Just get well soon, right? Hopefully, don’t be too handsome and maybe everyone in town will fall in love with you. We have a lot of rivals for your son by chance— ”He was stunned. The speed he covered his mouth. He just said ‘don’t mention here his situation now.

"Son?"

He saw the suppressed smile on its lips. He did not utter a word.

"Am I going to be a father?"

“H-ha? No. What I want— ”

"Thank you." It squeezed his hand.

He looked at his hand and even though he could not see the reaction in the young man's eyes, the joy and excitement were evident in the reaction of his voice. It was as if some kind of fondness had crept into his heart.

"Get well first, I'll just go downstairs and talk to Uno—" He didn't finish what he was going to say when Fender grabbed his hand and prevented him from standing up. "I'll be right back."

“Leave Uno alone. He could be himself. Just talk to me, love. Didn't you miss me? Because I have been missing you for two weeks. I wanted to call you but my good friend stopped me and locked me in this room. Uno misses me, love. He made me suffer at times when I really wanted to see you and be with you. ”

She secretly smiled. He did not say a word and let it soften him.

"It hurts ..."

"Huh?"

“I need a kiss to get rid of the pain. Uno also beat me, love. So I need a kiss. ”

He gently slapped it on the chest. It depends on what he did.

"I don't think you love me anymore—"

It stopped at her sudden kiss. "It's okay now? Your wickedness is gone? ”

"Much better." It smiled foolishly.
