It's been a week since Khaira returned from the hospital. Khaira woke up in the morning to hear the sound of people vomiting in the morning.
He walked slowly to the bathroom. Khaira pushed the slightly opened door.
"Darling, why are you" asked Khaira, looking at Diego's sweaty face from vomiting.
Khaira held her husband's forehead. He's afraid Diego is sick. But he didn't feel Diego's forehead hot.
"You're not hot, yang"
"Maybe I catch a cold...."
Khaira massaged her husband's nape to help Diego spit out his entrails.
After feeling enough, Diego washed his face and helped wash Khaira's face. When it was finished Diego carried Khaira to the bed.
"Why wake up. I disturb your sleep, yes" said Diego put Khaira's body slowly in bed.
"You feel good" Khaira said without replying to Diego
"I asked him if he could answer the question again" said Diego, who was already on top of Khaira's body with both hands holding her body so as not to squeeze Khaira's body.
"I heard the sound of you throwing up, I got worried" said the spoiled Khaira as she wrapped her hands around Diego's neck
Diego kissed Khaira's lips long enough gently.
"You still worry about me. The thing to worry about is you, baby. Right now that's hurting you, not me"
"I'm afraid you're sick too..."
"I won't be sick. I'll take care of you and our baby-to-be"
"You won't leave me knowing my past or my mommy isn't good"
"I don't want you to talk about that anymore. I only know that you are the woman I deserve to love. There's no evil or wrong that I see in you"
"Thank you for loving me so much"
"I hope you love me too"
"I love you more than you know" said Khaira, kissing Diego's lips.
"I take a shower, yeah. Go to college. I'm afraid that if it's been a long time like this, I'll be looking for you. I had to hold it for a month..."
"I'm sorry, that"
"Why do you have to apologize"
"Because of my weak content, you can't ask me for your rights"
"Not what.it is also for the sake of our children"
"Go on, I'll wait at the dinner table. Papi must've been waiting for us to make breakfast"
"The road is slow. Don't rush the gesa"
"Yes, I'm going to the kitchen first"
Khaira walked towards the dining room, and as expected her papa had been waiting.
"Good morning papi" said Khaira and kissed Azril's cheek.
"Good morning, baby. How you doing, son."
"Duringly improved pi. My body feels good"
"Thank God. Papi may not be able to come home today. Papi's got a meeting until the afternoon. Are you okay papi left until afternoon"
"Not what, pi. I'm healthy now"
"But you still have to take care of yourself. Don't work and don't mind much"
"Yes, papi" said Khaira hugging her papi arm and leaning on Azril's shoulder.
Azril rubbed his daughter's hair and dyed it.
Diego already knows all the stories about Khaira's presence in her mother's womb. He did not want to tell the truth because he knew how much Azril loved Khaira.
Diego also did not want if Khaira knew all that, he would be sad because Diego knew if his wife really admired the figure of his papa.
"Let all the stories of papi's past be buried with Khaira's mommy's body"
Diego approaches Khaira and kisses her cheek.
Azril released his daughter's embrace.
"We're having breakfast again. You must have reported it" said Azril, he took the breakfast prepared by his aunt for Khaira.
Khaira just kept quiet while looking at Diego with a pouting face.
Diego who noticed Khaira's face change became astonished.
"Why dear, how do you look at it"
"You want to go to the mall what campus"
"Campus, why are you going to the mall"
"Tok his clothes that way"
Diego looked at his body. Nothing wrong, he thought. He was wearing a shirt covered in jeans. And torn jeans.
Diego to college just wants to do an assignment with his friend.
"Why in my clothes, dear"
"Where are people going to college. You want to walk with a friend. You're bored at home for keeping me company"
Azril who heard Khaira's words became smiling. He knew that at this time his daughter must be jealous of Diego's clothing style.
"I just want to do my job at the library with my friends at college. Where is there, baby"
"You're not lying..."
"Later until college I video call ya same you"
"Be aware that you're trying to lie and kind of. Me and our baby won't forgive you"
"Yes, honey. This is papi witness. If I'm anything like that, you can punish me"
"Darling, breakfast at the restaurant. Diego has to go to college, it's late. You want your husband to skip college"
"No, pi"
"If so, we have breakfast"
Azril, Khaira and Kenzo ate breakfast that auntie had cooked.
After breakfast, Diego bailed to the campus, which Khaira delivered until he got into the car. Diego pulled his head out of the car window.
Khaira brought her face closer. Diego kissed his wife's cheeks and lips.
"Heart at home. If you need anything, ask aunty for help. I didn't stay long in college so you don't be afraid because papi came home late in the afternoon"
"You must also be careful driving the car"
"Yes, baby." said Diego. He waved his hand as the car started moving.
After the car disappeared from view, Khaira went back inside her house.
