Chapter 6

ellesa's P.O.V

Thirst........

I'm thirsty, I want water. My throat feels dry. So little by little my eyes were opened. The white kesami appeared to me.

I looked around the room. Then the sight turned to my hand with something attached. Then I realized, I was in the hospital.

But what? It doesn't matter. All I want now is to drink water.

So I looked at the small table next to my bed. There I saw a basket of different kinds of fruits and one bottle of distilled water.

I was about to reach for it when he also opened the door. And my husband spat there. I adjusted my seat and watched him.

"Babe." I said. But it's just like air that came out of my mouth because my voice hasn't returned to what it was before, especially since my throat is dry.

He walked closer to me. I followed him until he stopped at the edge of my bed and stared at me too.

I remembered what happened yesterday. I remembered that he chose his friend more than me, so I sulked at him.

We stared but he was the first to let go. He cleared his throat.

"How do you feel?" He asked.

"I feel thirsty." I want to say it out loud. But it was like a soft whisper, even I didn't understand what I was talking about. Blame my throat.

"What?" He asked again, when he didn't understand what I was saying.

So I just pointed to the water. And mouthed "I want water."

He immediately poured water into the glass and gave it to me.

I make a loud gulp, and feel the water make its way to my throat down to my stomach. Satisfaction is what I feel right now after I have filled my thirst.

After drinking, I gave Nate glass.

"Are you hungry?" I nodded.

"Ok. Rest for a while while I'm preparing your food"

It's just a casual way of saying it, but it seems like there are several thousand volts of electricity flowing through my body right now.

It's the first time in our married life that he takes care of me. It flutters my heart. I hope I'm just always sick. haha Crazy of me. Who could be a crazy person who dreamed of getting sick?

"What are you smiling at?" He asked me while placing the food on the table. I just shook my head.

"Eat now. The doctor said earlier that you can go home when you wake up." He added while sitting on the chair that was just on the side of the bed.

I eat quietly. After that he put it away.

Nate started packing our things. We are going home, the doctor said earlier that I am fine, he just prescribed medicine and vitamins that I need to take. It's already late in the afternoon, so we have to hurry.

I know the doctor because Nate brought me to our hospital. And said I was also unconscious for two days.

Neither of us spoke the entire flight.

I noticed Nate glancing at me. Maybe he was surprised by my silence.

I want to cuddle with him. I'll just see what his reaction will be. But to be honest, I still feel bad for him. Who doesn't?

I walked to the condo first then went straight to his room.

When I was inside the room, I immediately lay down on the bed. I also waited for a few minutes just in case Nate was next in case he wasn't. I started to get annoyed with him again. Why is he still not here? Where can he go? Maybe my tantrum is not effective? Thank you He will take care of my life.

"Ellesa." I was distracted by someone shaking me. So I opened my eyes and saw my husband's handsome face.

I fell asleep waiting for him earlier.

"Let's wake up and eat." I got up.

"Wait, I can't cook?" I asked him and looked at him with surprise. He just shrugged his shoulders and started walking.

"C'mon. The food might get cold." And left the room.

Or....k. Maybe he cooked.

I followed him. I caught him standing at the table and looking at me. My eyes immediately turned to the table and I was surprised by what I saw.

What's up? Is there a lot of food on the table? And on the side of the table there was a big cake. I immediately read what was written.

"'Belated Happy Birthday Ellesa'''

I covered my mouth. I feel my cheeks getting hot. I didn't expect that. I can't believe what I see now.

My gaze shifted to my husband. He just watched me silently. I looked around at my husband at the table.

I can't find the right words to say. So I pointed at the table and looked at him.

"D-did you..... A-are you... H-how....---" I couldn't finish what I was going to say.

"I'm sorry it's belated, I never knew when's your birthday. I hope you like it." He's sorry.

The corner of my eyes warmed up. And I ran the little distance between Nate and me and hugged him tightly. My heart is overflowing with joy.

"I like it babe. No. I love it. I love you. You don't know how much you made me happy today. I really thought I wouldn't be able to experience the birthday with you. Do you know I sulked at you when I found out that you chose your friend over than me? Do you know how much that hurt me? Do you know---" he cut me off.

"Shhh. Stop crying. That's why I'm sorry." He whispered in my ear.

We stayed like that for quite a long time (I hugging him, I was sobbing while he caressed my back). When my sobbing subsided. I hope it never ends.

He has separated from me. I don't want to but I'm hungry.

"Let's eat? Maybe the food will get cold." He said. I smiled and nodded.

"Did you cook this?" I asked when we seat down.

"Yeah, earlier when you were still asleep. But I'm not the one who baked the cake. I just ordered it." He answered while putting rice on my plate. I feel my cheeks getting hot again. The simple thing he does brings great joy to my heart. It's like being tickled I don't know.

I smiled watching his serious face.

"Thank you Nate." I promised smiling. He immediately looked at me. And looked away.

"Let's eat." That's all he said. And we started eating.

Nate cooks well, I think he cooks better than me. It's a good feeling that the person you love cooked for you.

When we finished eating and he helped me put away our food and I was the one who washed the dishes.

After that we went to the living room and watched a movie.

"You know babe, of all my birthdays this is the happiest." I said while tightening I hug to him. I can feel the heat of his body.

"Why weren't you happy on your last birthday?" He asked.

I looked at him.

"No. Especially since I'm celebrating it alone. Ever since my older sister left." I said.

"You have a sibling?" He asked

"Yeah. My big sister. That's why I'm happy to have you by my side." I said smiling. And looked at him. His eyes focused only on the tv.

I remembered that the company's anniversary is next month.

"Don't worry next month is the company's anniversary, and I know she and his husband and son will come home here. I will introduce you to him." I said more. He didn't say a word.

"It's really envious, she already has a happy and perfect family. Do you know how cute their daughter Sabrina is? That's why I want to have a child so I can also experience the feeling of having a child carried and cared for." My long litany. While tracing my finger in his chest.

"Do you want us to make a baby now?" Nate said and smiled mischievously.
