CARING FOR DEAN

"I ... I found out from Max, Max, who told me you like ice cream." Said Dean a little nervous because Marey almost became suspicious of him.

"Max? Are you very close to Max?" Marey asked, looking all Dean's face.

"Yes Rey, I've become friends with Max." said Dean convincing Marey.

"I trust you Luis. You have also made friends with the kids there, right?" said Marey with a smile.

"How do you know?" asked Dean with a full gaze.

"From Max, Max said that he often saw you playing soccer." said Marey while observing the face of Dean who is currently Luis Fedrick.

"Hem ... I used to like to exercise, but since I passed out easily I rarely do it." said Dean while straightening his back.

"Are you actually sick, Luis? you don't lie to me anymore." Marey asked, gazing into Dean's face hoping Dean would tell the truth.

"I'm not sick, only if I'm too tired I can pass out. That is all. Trust me." Dean said not wanting to make Marey worry and anxious.

Marey looked away so that it would not be obvious that her eyes were getting teary.

"The doctor said you have to rest for a few days, so just follow what the doctor said. You don't need to work just yet." Marey said that she could no longer let Dean work which made his tired.

"No, Marey, I'm fine. I'm better now. If I don't work how can I meet you?" asked Dean with a smile hiding the pain in his head.

Marey paused, staring at Dean's face, who was still able to smile in the midst of his pain.

"Why do you want to see me every day Luis? I'm not your lover Luis?" said Marey in a choked voice.

"I told you, I liked you from the first time I met you. And I want you to be my lover, that's if you want Marey. I won't force you." Said Dean staring into Marey's face hoping Marey will accept his love. Dean wants in the last moment of his life to die in Marey's arms even though as Luis is not as the boy Dean that Marey still hates.

"Hem ... do you really love me Luis? I'm an imperfect woman. I can't walk anywhere, and for sure I will trouble you." Marey said with deep guilt.

"You don't know how much I love you Marey, I will take care of you and make you happy until the end of my life." said Dean in a barely audible voice.

Marey's tear drops down her cheek, and Dean knows it.

"You cry, beautiful Marey? have you been blown away by my words?" said Dean smiling while wiping Marey's tears.

"Dean ... I'm sorry to you, I know how much you love me. I just found out you have been in pain and suffering all this time. Not only my legs are paralyzed, but my heart is also blind because I can't see your love that is so great for me. I'm sorry Dean ... I'm sorry." said Marey crying to herself.

"Marey why are you silent? will you reject my love?" asked Dean anxiously.

"How can I reject your heart and love Luis? You are like an angel who has a heart and sincere love for me." said Marey wanting to cry in Dean's arms.

"So it's true what I said, you really have been bewitched by my charm." said Dean smiling as he took Marey's hand.

"Thank you Marey, you have given me the greatest gift of happiness of my life. Thank you for accepting my love and being my lover." Said Dean with happy tears in his heart.

"Now that I have become your lover you must obey me. Think of me as your lover as well as your personal doctor. You are not allowed to work first, but you must rest for a few days in the hospital as recommended by the doctor." said Marey as she returned Dean's hand.

"Like what my lover said. I will do what you say as long as you want to take care of me and not be far from me." Said Dean with a soft gaze.

"Tok...Tok...Tok"

There was a knock on the door. Dean and Marey looked at the open door along with the arrival of a nurse and a doctor whom Marey or Luis did not know.

"Good afternoon, my name is Doctor Naan. Because Doctor Chan is on duty outside. Meanwhile I was asked to replace monitoring the progress of Mr. Luis's illness." said Doctor Naan who had just moved from another city hospital.

"Thank you Doctor Naan, how is the result of Luis's illness? said Doctor Chan Luis had to stay a few days in the hospital." said Marey seriously. Meanwhile Dean panicked that Doctor Naan would tell Marey the truth.

"As with the last diagnosis I read, Mr Luis should have had chemotherapy to prolong his life. As stated in this record, Mr. Luis's life is only a few months away because his blood cancer has reached a terminal stage. So I advised Mr Luis to immediately undergo chemotherapy." said Doctor Naan at length without feeling guilty.

"Sorry Doctor, I think the notes you read are not Luis me. but another Luis. I'm not sick, I'm just sick. Would you please talk to Doctor Chan again, maybe Doctor Chan means another patient Luis." said Dean with a pale face but still trying to calm down so that Marey wouldn't be surprised and worried because of his illness.

Doctor Naan looked at Luis calmly, then gave the diagnosis to Marey.

"Sorry Mr. Luis, please check the name in the diagnostic record. There was no way the hospital could have mistaken a seriously ill patient." said Doctor Naan seriously.

Marey looked at the diagnostic notes she was holding as if she was shocked to read the results of the diagnosis.

"Doctor, thank you for the advice. Soon I will ask Luis to do chemotherapy." Marey said while giving the diagnosis to Doctor Naan.

"All right, we wait for news from Miss. Because Mr. Luis's life really will not be long without chemotherapy." Said Doctor Naan then left Dean's room.

After Doctor Naan came out, Marey pushed her wheelchair and approached Dean. She looked at Dean's face deeply.

"Don't look at me like that, Marey, the doctor is in the wrong room and in the wrong person." Said Dean panicked.

"Ssstt!! silent, as Doctor Naan said the hospital would not possibly do anything wrong. You have to undergo chemotherapy as Doctor Naan said." said Marey with muffled tears, seeing Dean who insisted on covering up the pain he was suffering.

"But Marey, I'm really not sick. The doctor must be the wrong person, trust me. I do not si.." Dean couldn't continue his words as Marey's moist lips covered his mouth with a soft kiss.
