Married to a Paralyzed Man
12

After a few hours of waiting, Luna finally woke up from her sleep. He was holding his head which was really sick. He felt his whole body hot. Maybe Luna has a fever.

"Away awake?" Verdianto asked Luna.

"My head hurts" said Luna who was about to cry.

Verdianto who was sitting on the bed helped Luna to sit down.

"Drink first" Verdianto told Luna.

Luna drank the water that Verdianto gave her.

"You have a fever, you just rest here, don't go anywhere!"

"I-I don't want to be alone" Luna said as she pulled up Verdianto's sleeves.

"It turns out you have a spoiled side like this" Verdianto said as he stroked Luna's head.

Luna hugged Verdianto. He rested his head on Verdianto's chest.

"My head hurts" Luna said limply.

Verdianto raised his hand, then massaged it to Luna.

"Have you felt better?" Verdianto asked Luna.

"Emm, Ma, I'm not ready to get married right now"

"Luna?" Call Verdianto.

"Yes Luna will marry him, but not now? Luna please"

"Luna?" Verdianto said with a sad look.

"Emmm" Luna let out a tear.

Verdianto took a tissue, then wiped off Luna's tears. He laid Luna on the bed, then kissed Luna on the forehead.

"If you don't want this, I'll cancel it. I won't force you to be mine"

"Even if I've liked you for years, that doesn't mean I should have you, right?"

"Go Luna, maybe you like someone, but that person is not me. If he doesn't appreciate you, look back, there's still me waiting for you"

"I'll wait for you to get married, after that I'll find another woman"

"Can't you not marry Luna?"

Verdianto kissed Luna's lips at a glance, then was about to get off the bed.

Luna pulled the back of Verdianto's shirt.

"Ja-don't go"

Verdianto sat down next to Luna.

"I'm here, I'm not going" Verdianto said, wiping away Luna's tears.

"Don't go, please don't go. I-I like you"

Verdianto smile.

"Who do you like?"

Luna did not answer Verdianto anymore. He only holds Verdianto's shirt so Verdianto doesn't leave Luna alone.

Night at 19:00

Verdianto brought Luna's dinner into the room. He helps Luna sit down and feeds Luna a meal. Verdianto did not feel tired taking care of Luna all day.

"Hey did I just talk weird?" Ask Luna who is recovering.

"No" Verdianto replied.

"He really?" Luna said in disbelief.

"I don't know!" Verdianto.

"You must be lying!" Said Luna who approached Verdianto's face.

Verdianto's body was out of balance, he placed the dishes on the table, then pulled Luna's hand so they fell together.

"Yeah!" Luna.

"Ssttt, Lu-Luna" said Verdianto, who was uncomfortable.

Luna's face flushed red, she raised her left hand from above Verdianto's. Luna quickly sat back on the bed.

"Aaa sorry" said Luna and closed Verdianto's standing with a pillow.

Verdianto sat in front of Luna.

"Thank you for the pillow" Verdianto told Luna.

"What the hell! I'm still hungry! Hurry up and bribe me!" Luna said to change the mood.

Verdianto took Luna's plate, then fed her back.

"His pockets are great" Inner Luna.

"It seems he was unconscious. I want to feel it again, really tender" Inner Verdianto.

They don't talk anymore, they spend time staring at each other. Their faces are both flushed.
