ANGELYN stared at Kyst who's peacefully sleeping in her bed. Yep, wala siyang choice kung hindi patulugulin ito sa kwarto niya dahil masyadong maliit ang kama ni Khaila. A while ago, Kyst removed his top. He is now shirtless under the thick blanket.

Huminga ng malalim si Angelyn. In the back of her mind, she was cheering up herself. Because damn it! She's going to see how ripped and how perfectly sculpted the abs of Kyst, up close! Her ex partner doesn't have an abs, siguro dahil payat ito?

"Okay! I can do this!" she cheered herself once again. She slowly pulled down the blanket, hanggang sa umabot ito sa may balakang niya.

Angelyn gulped when she saw his stomach. Angelyn need to blink and slap her face twice to confirm if it's a freaking human body! Kyst stomach was like a stone, she poked his stomach and traced the line of his abs. It's real. Goodness! She's freaking out just because she touched his stomach!

"Hmmng..." agad binawi ni Angelyn ang kamay niya. She checked Kyst if he's awake but thankfully he's still asleep.

"Tama na ang kagagahan!" Angelyn hissed at herself. Kinuha niya ang bimpo sa palanggana na may malamig na tubig at pinalupot 'yon, then she gently pat the face towel on Kyst face down to his neck and shoulders.

Ganoon lang ang ginagawa ni Angelyn habang natutulog ang binata, she will wipe his face down to his body. Para bumaba ang lagnat nito, she even turn off the electric fan because Kyst body was shaking. Angelyn knew that she needs to wipe Kyst legs too, but she couldn't move her hands to remove his pants. Kaya hinayaan niya nalang.

"I wonder why there's no one gonna take care of you in a times like this. Nasaan ang mga magulang mo? Or di kaya yung mga flings mo na nababalita sa TV noon?" she mumbled while wiping his arm. Gustong magmura ni Angelyn dahil maski ang mga braso nito ay walang kasing tigas.

"Hmm... Ang sarap siguro sa pakiramdam mahagkan sa ganitong klase ng braso."

Binitawan ni Angelyn ang hawak na bimpo at ibinalik sa palanggana. Bahagya niyang tinapik ang magkabilang pisngi. Hindi siya nag-iisip. Why would she think like that?! For goodness sake, may sakit ang pinag-iisipan niya ng masama. She bit her lower lip and grab the basin, kinumutan muna niya si Kyst bago lumabas ng kwarto niya.

Angelyn change the water and add a new Ice, hindi parin bumababa ang lagnat ni Kyst kaya hihilamusan niya parin ito ng malamig na tubig. Ayaw din naman niyang ma stress ang binata sa pagpilit na uminom ng gamot, kanina, may sakit na nga ito pero ang lakas parin at nakakapalag sa hawak ng bodyguard niya at ni Uncle.

Kyst was like a kid with a body of an adult!

Dinaig pa nito ang anak niya. Kaya ang ending, hindi nakainom at nakakain si Kyst. He just asked where's the room, pagtapos ay basta nalang ito naghubad at ibinagsak ang katawan sa kama niya. Angelyn yawned when she get back in her room, nagawi ang tingin niya sa side table.

01:45 AM

She stretched her arms and glanced at Kyst. He's still shaking, she sighs softly. Itinupi niya ang face towel at pinatong sa noo nito, humiga siya sa tabi nito at pinalupot ang braso sa katawan ni Kyst. Hoping that she'll warm Kyst body.

"Matutuwa ka sigurado kapag nalaman mong nakayakap ako sayo." she whispered cockily before closing her eyes.

Angeyn woke up because of her daughter, lazily lying in her stomach, causing her to hardly breathe. She lazily rubbed her eyes and caressed her baby's face, Khaila pouted her lips and crawled. Ipinalibot nang magandang anak niya ang maliliit na braso sa leeg niya at isinubsob ang mukha sa mga dibdib niya. She knew her daughter wants something from her, kaya ito naglalambing.

"Good morning baby... What do you want?" she greeted and ask her daughter with her hoarse voice.

Khaila crinkled her nose. "Mamu I want some milk and coco crunch!" Khaila lazily said and playfully kissed her neck, hinuli niya ang mga kamay ng anak at inihiga ito sa kama. Pinupog niya ng halik ang anak sa mukha pati na din ang tiyan nito, causing her daughter to laugh out loud. She motioned her daughter to shushed because Kyst was still sleeping.

"Is Papa sick, Mamu?" nakakunot noong tanong ni Khaila at idinampi pa ang kamay sa noo nito. "Hindi ko po siya nakita kagabi. Why po siya nasa room niyo? Bakit hindi po sa room ko?"

Angelyn massage her temple and inhaled deeply. She flashed a smile on her daughter and kissed her temple. "Let him rest okay? Take care of him while Mamu's preparing breakfast." bilin niya sa anak. Khaila nod her head making her smile.

Kinuha niya ang ponytail na may ribbon sa side table at tinali ang magulong buhok ng anak niya. Khaila loves it when her hair styled a messy bun at kung may mga strands na naiiwan sa gilid. Tinakpan ng anak niya ang bibig gamit ang kamay niya nang gumalaw ang braso ni Kyst at ipinalibot 'yon sa anak.

"Papa loves me so much! Look mamu!" masayang itinuro ng anak ang braso ni Kyst na nakapalibot dito.

"I'm going to prepare for our breakfast now." paalam niya sa anak.

When she walk out on the door, sumilip ulit siya. Angelyn lips rosed up when she saw her daughter, nakatulala lang ito at minsan naman ay sumusulyap kay Kyst. Her daughter really adores Kyst too much.

Angelyn happily prepared breakfast for them. He cooked a egg drop soup for Kyst, then she also made a sandwich for herself, pagtapos ay tinimpla ang gatas nang anak niya at inihanda na ang coco crunch nito. Her daughter will cause ruckus if she's not going to eat her favorite breakfast.

She cleaned the kitchen first and set the table before decided to call her daughter and wake Kyst. Surprisingly, nadatnan niya ang dalawa na naglalaro sa kama niya. Khaila was on Kyst back and riding him like a horse habang si Kyst naman ay gumagapang. Sumandal siya sa hamba ng pintuan at pinagkrus ang mga braso.

"Khaila. Kyst." madiin na tawag sa dalawa. Agad tumigil si Kyst sa paggapang at pinababa ang anak niya sa likod nito. Khaila pouted her lips, parang nabitin ito sa ginagawang paglalaro. She raised her eyebrows and throw a death glare to Kyst. "Magaling ka na ba?" she asked and Kyst fake a cough.

"I-I am... not?"

She rolled her eyes and shifted her weight. Naglakad siya papunta sa kama at agad na binuhat si Khaila. Hindi niya hinayaan ang sarili na dumapo ang mga mata nito sa magandang katawan ni Kyst, that's a sin for her! Tama na ang ginawa niyang pagyakap at pagtabi nito sakanya sa pagtulog.

"Tumayo ka na diyan. Nagluto ako ng egg drop soup para sayo, then drink the medicine after." she strictly said. Angelyn saw how Kyst hardly gulped. Bakas ang takot sa mukha nito.

"I think I am fine now." biglang bawi nito. Idinikit ni Angelyn ang likod ng palad sa noo nito at pinitik ito.

"Hindi para sa akin." masungit na sabi niya at nauna nang lumabas ng kwarto.

Humabol naman sakanila si Kyst. Inupo niya si Khaila sa upuan at inilapit ang coco crunch nito sakanya, then she grab a spoon and a glass of water for Kyst. Angelyn didn't forget the medicine, of course. She placed it beside the glass of water. Tahimik na kumain si Kyst habang pasulyap sulyap sa gamot na nasa tabi nito.

"It's just a medicine, hindi ka papatayin niyan." walang ganang sabi niya sa binata.

"I don't like it." he sneered. "Saan ka pala natulog? Sa kwarto ni Khaila?" he asked. Her brows shot up.

"No, sa tabi mo ako natulog. I need to monitor you." she said cooly. Pilit na tinatakpan ang kabang nararamdaman sa pamamagitan ng pagkurot sa dulo ng damit niya sa ilalim ng lamesa.

May multong ngiti na gumuhit sa labi ng binata. "Wow. Feeling ko tuloy asawa kita!" he exclaimed.

Angelyn scoffed. "Feeling mo lang 'yon."

Kyst looked at her flatly, bagsak ang mga balikat nito. "Ouch. Pain." he said and caressed his chest where his heart located.

Hindi mapigilan ni Angelyn ang matawa sa inakto ng binata, he really acts like a kid sometimes. And that's what he likes about it him, he's matured yet he acts like a kid most of the time.

"Kung..." he trailed off and look at her. Parang tinitimbang ang mood niya.

"Kung?"

"If given a chance... na... manligaw ako? Do I stand a chance?" she can sense the uncertainty in his voice. Is it because he was afraid that she might turn him down or is it because he's just playing around?

"May sakit ka lang." she answered and calmly grab the glass to drink. She swallowed hard after.

"Yeah? May sakit ako pero alam ko ang ginagawa at sinasabi ko ngayon. So, Ms.Angelyn Valencia. Can I? I mean, liligawan parin kita kahit umayaw ka. I'm going to show you how much I like you."

Angelyn was staring deeply in his eyes. She's looking for something, but she cannot find it. Ang dating mapaglarong mga mata nito ay napuno ngayon ng sensiridad. Dumako ang tingin niya sa anak, she was smiling at her and also waiting for her answer. Doon niya napagtanto na magka sabwat ang dalawa.

Maybe Krizzia is right... Maybe it's time to take a risk again. But this time, I am taking the risk for this rich and handsome man. Sana hindi ko pagsisihan 'to.
