LOVE CRADLE

Rico's worried about Sisca

At first he did not remember what he wanted, the people lining up behind him were twitching uneasily.

Miraculously, his mind was clear again in soup..Sisca conveyed her message, she held her carton of soup carefully as her body trembled.

Arriving at Sisca street shivering violently was it just a fantasy, or did the air temperature drop a few degrees while he was in the shop?

It felt like for a long time that he had only been able to reach his office building again, his swollen legs inside his boots feeling hot smoldering somehow releasing them later.

The shadow that he could not open his boots, and was forced to wear them for life felt funny to Sisca his laughter exploded.

But his chest was so tight that he could not breathe, he stopped suddenly and hit people so that the carton of soup he held fell.

A red luxury car stopped by the side of the road, Sisca did not see him he was too busy lamenting his spilled soup.

Someone grabbed her arm heard the sound of people calling her name, and then fell silent without a sound Sisca looked up.

Somehow he did not feel surprised to see Rico there, he was thinking about the man with a feeling of despair.

Wishing he had not been stubborn when Rico told him to go home, if he had just according to now he might have been lying in bed, full and warm.

With a half-dazed mind from the fever, Sisca looked at Rico without feeling surprised and said in a poignant tone.

"My soup spilled", her tears spread, Sisca heard Rico cursing.

Suddenly Rico lifted his body to make Sisca shocked, so quickly hold on to the man's body and sit gently in the car.

"Don't go anywhere" Rico told him.

"What floor is your office on, Sisca?"

"Fifth floor, but there's no one there".

He was no longer surprised, why could he feel like this. he could not do anything else, except give up on the fever that was undermining his body.

When Rico returned Sisca was already lying with her eyes closed, her pale face looking red smoldering on the cheekbones.

Richard got into the car and checked that Sisca's pulse was so tight, Sisca opened her eyes and looked at her usual bright eyes now pushy and foggy.

"My body is hot" Sisca said in a soft, confused voice.

"I don't feel well".

"I think you got the flu" Richard said.

"I'll take you home and then I'll call the doctor, if you dare say that you're okay.."

"Michael", protest Sisca sleepy.

"I managed to persuade one of your neighbors to keep for an hour".

"How do you know I need you?"

Under normal circumstances those words would never have been thrown from Sisca's mouth, as her eyes were closed Sisca did not see Richard's shocked reaction.

Sisca did say that now but had Richard reminded him that he was cured later, Richard was sure Sisca would have denied ever saying so.

From what began as a gathering of information for the court to grant him sole guardianship over Michael, it has now evolved into something more complicated.

Worse Richard saw no way out of the winding of his own lie, when his car passed a wheel in the street Sisca groaned softly.

Richard turned his attention away from his thoughts that were raging in his mind, to this woman sitting next to him.
