Just before dawn, he was in pain . When he glanced at Ira, she was sleeping . Hence he didn't make a sound . He bit his lip, kept his breath steady, and resisted it .
Soon the pain vanished as he stared at his pregnant wife . He looked at her long enough to engrave her face in his mind .
Pure and harmless with one of the hand on her lower abdomen silently providing them warmth .
Not long after, Ira got up .
"Sleep . It's so early . " Vivan mumbled when he heard some noise in the ward .
"It's bright already . " With that, Ira pulled the blinds all of the sudden and fierce sunshine climbed the windows forcing him awake .
When she saw him shield his eyes, she pulled them back playfully, blocking the light .
"It's 6'o'clock . "
'What would you like to eat? I'll make it . for you" Ira had a cheerful smile . Should he be hungry?
To check his temperature, she came forward and touched his forehead .
"Don't go . " he placed his palm it .
"You sleep; I'll come back soon . "
"Oh, obedient! Didn't you say you want to eat the dishes I prepare? I'll bring you breakfast . " A warm hand brushed his hair .
He hasn't eaten the food she made for many days . Although she prepared a nice meal on Valentine's day, all of it got devoured by the dustbin .
His heart was excited, "Something sweet . " and delicious .
His mouth was dripping saliva by the thought of the apple muffin .
"Okay, I'll bring some vegetables and soup . " And she destroyed his fantasy .
Eat well and rest well . For a patient, his food is essential .
"Good boy!" She patted his head . He looked like a puppy his master leaves him home alone .
"I am not a pet . "His tone filled with irritation . With that, he pulled her hand and turned to the opposite side .
"Viv . Let go . " Ira's voice got extra chirpy while she pleaded .
She leaned to pull the twisted hand back . Just as he turned, their lips collided .
With the other hand, he reached out and held her face in place .
His lips covered hers, exploring her mouth; he savored every bit of it . If one could listen carefully, they could hear two powerful heartbeats in the silent ward . One's rate and rhythm matched another .
The world seems; still, nothing else mattered . Even though both had only recently learned to express their feelings, their hearts were long united .
It lasted for what seemed an eternity . He let her go only when she got out of breath .
"Sweet . " After he stole the kiss, he smiled . This dessert was better than the ones she makes .
Her heart was pumping violently; he had so much influence on her .
"We are in a hospital," She snapped out of the daze . Her tone was fierce, but her red ears revealed her panic .
What if someone entered when they were kissing?
A doctor!
The nurse!
Then she would have to find a hole to bury herself .
"I'm still hungry . " His hands brushed her face .
"Don't make trouble . Let me go . " Her hand still in his clutches .
"Cough . . "
