4- Hopeless Sab

THE NEXT day, Sab told her branch Manager at the shop that she was too lazy to be at work, so she stayed lying in her bed until lunch time. She was able to brush her teeth and wash but then again, she went back to bed because she was lazy to do any activities today.

She thought of calling Volts because she wanted to have lunch with him. He did not answer the first call, same as the second and third but he answered at the fourth call. Sadly, when he found out that she just wanted to see him, he immediately dropped the call, so she thought of a way to get him to their house.

When she saw the tissue box on top of her bedside, she quickly took a piece and at the very tip she rolled it up and poked it to her nose so that she could sneeze — she would pretend to be sick. She also called the intercom to bring her garlic so that she could put it in her armpit and make her feel warm.

Then she called Volts again, now, she had a good reason to be visited by him. She scratches her nose with tissue paper to sneeze and because of the garlic in her armpit she feels hot.

“I’m really sick, Volts. I want some fruits. ” She said in her babyish voice, hoping he would bite her acting. She knew somehow her friend has a conscience.

"You can let your helpers at home buy you fruits." his suggestion.

She shook her head for a moment before answering again. "They're busy, please?"

"Sab, I am in a business lunch right now, I can't go there."

“Is that so?” she felt sad, she immediately said goodbye. She still hope but when he is busy with work it will be challenging to invite him.

She just shook her head and get her lunch to the maid and when she finished her lunch, she went back to sleep. When she woke up in the afternoon, she really felt warm and have a heavy feeling, she forgot to remove the garlic from her armpits

There was a knock on her door and when it opened, one of their maids entered to inform her that Volts was in the living room, much to her surprise. Gosh! It turned out that he bit her drama. She ordered the maid to tell Volts to come to her room. She quickly brushed her teeth, cleaned herself and sprinkled perfume so as not to scatter garlic before going to bed. She again scratched her nose with tissue paper to sneeze again and the man saw her sneezing.

"Hey, are you okay?" then walked closer to her. She sniffed and wiped her nose and smiled inside, he's really as handsome as ever even though he already changed his hairstyle and he is no longer curly like before, because he's been curly since a kid that he jnherited from his dad. Her heart pounded when he stared at her, he really had a strong effect on her.

"I'm not really feeling well." She said, then she began to act like a weakling again.

He approached her and put down the basket of fruits he was carrying before touching her forehead. “You’re burning, I think you need to go to the hospital.

She shook her head. "I don't like hospitals, it stinks and very infectious."

“You have your family doctor, right? Can you just call?

"I don't need anyone except you." He was silent. “Please be by my side, Volts. You’re all enough.

“Are you crazy, Sab? I'm not a doctor.

"But you're my vitamins, you make me even stronger than the meds I take." He shook his head. He was surprised when she quickly grabbed him by the hand and pulled him to sit on the bedside. “I’ve missed you. Thank you for coming here.

He is about to pull his hand she was holding when she tightened the grip. "Sab!"

"Don't you really feel anything for me even at least a few percent?" she asked.

He did not answer immediately. "I'm sorry but I really love her—" he couldn't continue what he was saying when she quickly pulled him and kissed him on the lips.
