SAGE'S FACE remained serious while she's busy cleaning Avenight's wound.
Hindi umiimik ang asawa kaya hindi niya na rin binalak na kausapin muna ito.
The wounds on his back are so deep. He really tried hurting himself even if he's not capable of feeling that.
She figured out that her husband did this to himself because of the size of his wounds, and she have no idea why would he even harm himself.
"You spoke like a grown-up woman earlier." Avenight broke the silence between them. Lumabas pa ang mahinang tawa sa bibig ng lalaki.
Mahina niyang hinampas ang balikat ng lalaki. "Nang-aasar ka lang, hubby, eh."
Mas lumakas ang tawa ng asawa niya. Dahan-dahan itong humarap at maingat na kinuha ang kamay niya bago halikan 'yon.
"You can stop now, baby. I'll let a doctor take care of this, okay?" Avenight lifted her hand a bit to kiss her wrist. "You should rest."
Buti na lang at natapalan niya na rin ng mga gasa ang sugat ng lalaki. Mas mabuti kung hindi rin itong masyadong gagalaw para hindi bumuka ang mga sugat nito.
"Why did you do this to yourself, hubby?" seryosong tanong ni Sage.
"Did what exactly, my wife?" tanong ng asawa.
"You hurt yourself, I'm sure you're the reason behind your own wounds. Ang dami mong latay sa likod mo, kaya alam kong marami mong beses ginawa 'yan. And stop joking around, Avenight," Sage strictly said.
The naughtiness on Avenight's face vanished as soon as he heard her serious voice. Humaplos ang kamay ng lalaki sa braso niya bago siya bahagyang ngitian.
"I need to face punishments whenever I break rules, baby," he answered honestly.
"Punishment? For breaking the rules?" Umayos ng pagkakaupo si Sage. "You're the king! Why would you face punishment for breaking a rule in your own kingdom?"
"I may be the king..." The volume of his voice lessen. "But a rule is a rule. I prefer punishing myself rather than letting any people touch me. I hate having physical contact with anyone."
Sage pulled her hand from his grip that made Avenight's nose furrowed.
Sinubukang hawakan ng asawa ang kamay niya pero mabilis naman niya 'yong tinago sa likuran niya. "No!"
"Why are you letting go from my grip, wife?" Halata sa boses ng lalaki na naiinis na ito. "Give me your hand."
"You said you hate physical contact with other people," sabi ni Sage sa mababang boses.
"You're an exemption, baby."
"Huh?"
Walang kahirap-hirap na hinapit ni Avenight ang baywang niya at mahigpit siyang niyakap. "Hugging you feels heaven to me."
