The Dream of the President

Caring for

Shasa slowly opened her eyelids. Faintly, he saw Leo sitting on the sofa holding his laptop. Seeing Shasa's slow motion, Leo shifted his laptop. Leo looked at Shasa who was looking at him. Leo put his laptop on the sofa and immediately to Shasa's side.

"You all right? Is anyone sick?" Leo sounded very worried.

Shasa smiled weakly. "I'm thirsty." Shasa said slowly. Leo quickly poured water into the glass on the bedside table. He lifted Shasa's body and sat him leaning against the head of the bed. Slowly he brought the glass closer to Shasa's lips.

Shasa unceasingly looked at Leo who looked so worried. "You're not working?"

"No." Answer Leo briefly while putting the glass back on the table.

"ah! What'sthis?" Shasa was shocked to see the infusion in his hand.

"Hurry to recover. So you don't have to wear it anymore." Leo pointed at the infusion in Shasa's hand.

Now they look at each other. Tacit. Shasa smiled at Leo's worried face.

"I'm sorry, made you skip work today."

"I'm not ditching. But I'm a permit."

"Yin? What permit?" Shasa was still smiling pettyly at Leo.

"The genie takes care of his sick wife." Shasa was flabbergasted at Leo's reply. For some reason, he could feel Leo's sincerity at the moment.

"From tomorrow, you can't go to the office on your scooter. Go home with me. If I have urgent business, I'll send a driver for you." Leo spoke seriously. "If you keep this up, you'll make this country lose."

"I? Making a state loss? How come?"

"You're making me unable to work. There are so many jobs I leave at the office. If this continues, the company may lose. You must know, if my company suffered a loss, how big an impact to this country."

"I'm not asking you to leave your job."

Leo smiled a little. "Why are you stupid like this anyway?"

"What do you call me?" Shasa raised his tone. Leo got up from Shasa's side.

"Begin the night you sleep here. Don't argue. I'll call Mr. Yo to prepare your meal." Leo came out of the room.

'What the fuck! He forced me again? Huh!' Shasa snorted in annoyance. He looked around the room. 'Why would he take me to his room anyway?!'

Leo brought Shasa food at a small dining table. He sat on the side of the bed right next to Shasa. Leo put the table over Shasa's lap. Shasa was about to pick up the spoon to start eating, but Leo stopped him.

"Wait." Leo took the spoon from Shasa's hand. "You can't eat with that needle impaled on your hand."

Shasa was already willing to laugh hearing that. "I can really. My hands are fine."

"What's okay? You were so shocked when you saw the infusion on your hand. I'll just bribe."

Shasa held back a laugh. Leo started feeding food into his mouth.

"Aren't you ever sick? Never been infused?" Ask Shasa.

'It turns out he also has a stupid side. Hahahaha' Shasa laughed gleefully in his heart.

After finishing eating, Shasa was still leaning on the bed while watching tv, while Leo returned to activities with his laptop.

Shasa was getting bored. He turned off the tv and turned to look towards Leo. For a moment he looked at Leo who was being serious on the sofa.

'He looks like a different person when he's relaxed in this house. I didn't think I had this handsome husband.' Shasa revealed a smile on his face.

"A satisfied to see me?" Leo's voice breaks Shasa's daydream. Leo shifted his laptop a little.

"I didn't see you." Shasa did not confess. Leo put his laptop on the sofa and walked towards the bed. He does not sit next to Shasa, instead Leo goes up to the bed and drowns himself in a large blanket that also covers Shasa's legs. Shasa surged in shock at seeing Leo lying beside him.

"I want to take a nap." Leo tilted his body towards Shasa.

"What are you doing?" Shasa asked who was still astonished by Leo's behavior.

"You didn't hear? I want to take a nap. You know, I haven't had a nap since I started work. I spend my free time working."

"Then, work, you don't have to take a nap." Shasa responded.

Leo shakes. He started to close his eyes. Slowly, Leo's hand clasped Shasa's. "Sleep. You need to rest a lot. If I don't sleep, you'll keep watching me work, right?" Leo smiled with his eyes still closed.

Shasa smiled widely. 'Kok now he's a narcissist anyway?' Shasa started to lie down and take a nap. Their hands held each other all afternoon.

Epilogue:

Doctor Sam rechecked Shasa's condition in the afternoon. The infusion had run out and Shasa's condition had also been much better. Doctor Sam will pull out the infusion on Shasa's hand.

As doctor Sam slowly touches Shasa's hand.

"What are you doing Sam? Don't hold his hand like that." Leo protest.

"How am I supposed to take off this infusion if I can't hold her hand, you idiot?"

"From tomorrow, I'll hire a female nurse for you."

Doctor Sam doesn't tease Leo. Shasa grimaced a little when doctor Sam started to pull out the intravenous needles.

"Sam's pants! You want to hurt his hand?" Shouted Leo.

"You're so noisy! I'm done." Doctor Sam showed me the removed intravenous needle. "Miss, congratulations. You've got a noisy limited edition man." Doctor Sam turned his hand towards Leo.

Shasa laughed at Leo who was upset with his own personal doctor. 'They are like cats and rats. Ahahaha! Not bad to be entertained.' Inner Shasa.
