Married at 19 novel Chapter 21

  It was 7.32 am and I still have about 2 hours before my class started. Bella helped me to finish my works and I felt bad of it. She even fell asleep here, uncomfortably that made her fell sick.

  It was all my fault.

  I gently lifted her so and carefully enough not to wake her up then slowly walked towards her room upstairs by carrying her on my arms, so she could rest comfortably.

  Surprisingly, Bella is surely light enough, trust me. I didn’t lie at all, because I barely us any strength to carry her at all.

  I put her down carefully on her bed then pulled up the blanket to cover her cold body.

  I’m so sorry, Bella, because of me you fell sick now. I slid some of her stranded hair away from covering her beautiful face. That’s it, I will find her medicines, but wait I just can’t leave her here alone.

  What if something bad might happen while I was out.

  I took out my phone from my pocket and googled something about to cool down her high fever. I could see her sweats formed around her forehead and she even mumbled gibberish too.

  “Found it!” I accidentally said it out loud when found something useful on the internet. As instructed, I took a piece of clean towel and put it in a basin that filled with cool water. I sat beside her who was still asleep and carefully put the wet towel on her forehead after squeezed some water out of it.

  Alright....I already done the first step. But the second and the fifth step are both a bit disturbing and awkward which umm…I need to undress her and wipe her body with wet towel. I just can't do that to her. I will skip it, unless her fever still high.

  Gladly we have an air purifier which I could turn it on so, there will be fresh air around her room.

  “There, everything runs smoothly,” I said to myself while looking at Bella who seemed a lot better than before. "Oh…I need to buy something for a while, please wait for me, Bella." I said while held her warm hand. "I'll be right back."

  My class will be start about an hour more so I think I will skip it, but I will send my assignment first, of course. I rushed to my room which opposite to hers to take a quick shower then put on some clothes before went to the basement lot. I drove the car to my campus and dropped my assignment at my lecturer’s office sneakily, so that I wouldn’t not caught up by him. I don’t want to meet him or it will be hard for me to bluff a reason why I want to skip his class for today.

  Afterwards, I drove my car to the nearest grocery mall to buy some ice popsicles and also the yogurts as stated in an article on the internet. The old woman who kept trying to sell her product at the fruit section caught my attention then. She called for me to taste the pear fruit sample which she arranged neatly on the small table in front of her.

  "Here young man, this pear is really good. Try it." She said to me while handed me a small sample of the fruits.
