Returning home from the hospital, Selya asks Gava to stop by at an ice cream parlour. After parking the car, they both got out of the car.
" Come on baby!" Get Gava to hold Selya's hand.
They both went inside to table number one. Incidentally there are not many visitors because the clock still shows ten o'clock in the morning.
" What would you like to taste?" Gava looked at Sellya.
" Strawberry and mango, jumbo portions." Gava Sahut.
" All right wait a minute!" Gava.
Before long Gava brought two portions of Selya's order of escrim.
" Please dear." Gava placed two ice cream bowls in front of Selya.
" Thank you, sir." Selya said in a smile reply by Gava.
" Here I feed." Gava began to feed Selya a spoonful of strawberry-flavored ice cream.
" Mad hasn't explained who that woman is yet." Selya's words surprised Gava.
" He was my friend back in elementary school, his name was Gita. We met at the minimarket yesterday. We talked a little bit like people who just met old friends in general. We asked each other for news and a place to stay. When I left, he fainted. The other visitor panicked, and I took him to his apartment. When he arrived at the parking lot of the apartment, he was conscious but he could not walk properly. Then he asked me to carry him, that's why I carried him." Bright Gava.
" What do you do when you get inside?" Search Selya.
" Nothing, I just saw him lying weakly in bed. When I came home, he suddenly experienced shortness of breath. I was confused then, especially when he asked me to help him take off his shirt buttons. Actually, I doubt it, baby, but I have no other way than that he's dead." Gava.
" But when I opened it, you came first. I was relieved, baby at the time. You are like the savior of my life. Thank you for coming on time." Gava looked at Slya.
" Yes the same." Sellya.
" Aren't you angry?" Ask Gava.
" Today, I even slapped Mas's cheek. I'm sorry, Mom, yesterday I was rude to you." Say Selya stroked Gava's cheeks that looked flushed.
" Well, baby it's okay, anyways I'm sure yesterday wasn't you who was angry but our son. He was angry because his father made his mother cry." Gava Sahut.
" Maybe my guess is true." Sellya.
Selya went back to eating his ice cream until he finished one bowl.
" It's full." Sellya.
" Loh this is one bowl yet dear." Gava.
" Make it." Sellya.
" Dear I'm sorry...
" a'." Selya thrusts a spoonful of ice cream into Gava's mouth. Gava looked at Slya and vice versa.
" Let's eat! My hands are tired of knowing that I'm hanging gini." Sellya.
" If I don't want to?" Ask Gava.
" I'll be sad." Sahut Sellya put on her sad face.
" I'm eating." Sahut Gava received a bribe from Selya.
Gleck...
Gava swallowed the ice cream which he thought made the stomach nauseous quickly.
" It's a darling." Gava.
" Otherwise, it should be spent before it melts." Selya returned to feed Gava.
Until the third bribe arrived...
Yuck...
Gava smothering his mouth using his hands, he immediately ran towards the bathroom sink that was inside there. Selya gawked at Gava's departure.
Selya soon caught up with Gava.
Yuck... Yuck...
Gava spewed out his guts at the sink.
" Why are you?" Tanya Selya is looking for a soft nape of Gava.
Yuck...
Gava did not answer Selya's question, he felt like his stomach was being stirred. A cold sweat poured down Gava's forehead as big as corn kernels.
Gava washed his mouth with clean water and dried it using a tissue.
" Are you okay? Or we'll just go to the hospital for more clarity." Sellya was worried.
" Be calm, baby, don't worry! L'm...
" How could I not worry about seeing you like this? Why are you like this?" Sellya.
" Because you gave her ice cream."
Gava and Selya looked back. Selya rolled her eyes lazily looking at the woman who yesterday sought Gava's attention.
" As a wife don't you know that Gava doesn't like ice cream? He'll puke like this if he's forced to eat ice cream." Gita.
Selya looked at Gava while frowning because he really did not know anything.
" It's okay baby, it doesn't matter if you don't know because it's me who didn't tell you." Gava.
" Why didn't you tell him Gava? If you think your wife is special you should tell your wife everything. What you like and what you don't like." Gita.
" You keep thinking that I'm not the special woman in Mas Gava's heart?" Selya looked at Gita sharply.
" It might be."
" Gita's." Gava.
" Your thinking is wrong Miss Gita, the reason why Mas Gava didn't tell me because he didn't want to make me sad or disappointed. The proof for his love for me he wants to obey my wishes. She's willing to eat something that disgusts her just to make me happy." Sellya said to the heart of Gita.
" Did Mas Gava ever do anything like this to you?" Connect Selya.
Gita did not flinch, she clenched tightly her hands.
" I don't think you have the answer Miss Gita because you are not a special person in Mas Gava's life. You were just her friend in elementary school first, while I was her future woman. So I hope you won't bother my husband again because if that happens, you'll know what I can do to you Miss Gita." Sellya said with great emphasis.
" Oh yeah, what about your asthma? Is it healed so you can walk this way? According to what I've heard, asthma relapses, it takes days to recover." Sellya.
" Dear, let's go home!" Gava doesn't want to cause any problems here.
" All right, come on." Sellya.
Gava holding Selya's hand left Gita upset with Selya's attitude.
" See you Sally." Gita left the shop.
Gava drove his car to his house. On the way he continued to hold Selya's hand as if reluctant to be separated.
" I didn't expect you to be so fierce either." Gava stared at Selya at a glance.
" It is like a chameleon that will change if it feels threatened. That's what I'm trying to do right now. I won't let the actors come near you. For the sake of my son from now on I have to take care of you from those actors. I don't want to be tempted by them." Sellya.
" Ha ha well baby, you should do that. But one thing you should know is that I only love you and only be tempted with you not the others." Gava kissed the back of Selya's hand.
" I believe you, Mom." Sallya smiled.
" O Lord thank You for giving the best woman to be my companion. I promise not to waste her love and sincerity. May we be protected from those who intend to separate us. May we always live happily. Amen." Gava in the Heart.
