saturday was climbing day. was awaiting D at home and fell asleep.
'babe?'
'yeah..sorry. fell asleep.'
'i cut my palm. its bleeding.'
'u gonna be fine?'
'yeah i think'
'ok then, but i guess we cant go climbing'
'suppose so'
'i wanna watch you,me and dupree'
big sigh. (he's NOT a big fan of chic flicks. not that he had a choice.)
when i hopped in the car, saw his hand all DIY wrapped-up. he told me he slit it open trying to cut something on his palm. smart kid. he said he was fine. i thought he was fine. but he made me drive though.
then, we saw you, me and dupree. i love that movie. i love kate hudson. when we walked out of the theatre, his then-white bandage was now red with blood. oh.my.god.
'babe, i think you need to go to the doctor'
'isk. taknaklah. nanti kena jahit'(duh obviously. you slit your palm didnt you?)
'tak kot. takkan doktor tu jahit. awak kan luka sikit je'
'iskkk..i taknaklah baby!! i takut la' there was genuine fear in his eyes. oh boy.
'youre gonna be fine okay? i promise. plus if you dont go, you might get infected and the wound could get a lot worse'
'alaa..tapi i ni phobia jarum la. kalau die suruh jahit cemana?'
'takpe kite pergi je dulu k'
sigh.sigh.sigh. creased forehead. 'yelah. yelah. we go to the doctor. tapi kalau doktor lelaki i taknak tau!'
'iye sayang..'
lady doctor. very nice. very soft. takes one look at the slit palm and says 'ni kena jahit ni'. boyfriend by this time was hyperventilating. couldnt sit still.
'alamak! saya taknak jahitlaa!'
'so you nak buat macamana' doctor raises eyebrows. amused.
'saya takut jarumlaaa!!'
'kalau tak jahit nanti lambat elok'
'takde ke macam glue ke ape?'
'kalau dah luka dalam macam ni dah tak boleh pakai glue dah ni'
'tapi saye takut jarum laa'
'nanti you susah nanti kena infection lagi teruk'
takes about 15 minutes for lady doctor to convince him that he needs to be stitched up. he finally agrees.
'jarum die panjang tak? sakit tak bile jahit? nanti you inject kat mane? nanti i kena tetanus injection jugak ke?'
doctor steals a glance at me. she seem very amused. i tell her ' this is precisely why men dont give birth'. she laughs. he's still not amused and is genuinely worried sick.
he lays his hand on the operating table. nurse on stand-by. doctor takes out needle. he takes one look, leaps from chair and turns to me, 'taknak la babe, i takleh buat. i takut!'
doctor tells him to sit down. 'hey, budak kecik pun tak macam ni tau!'. she's probably losing it now. i tell him to look at me while the doctor injects him. his breathing is short and quick. he's having a panic attack. im about to have one too, watching him like that.
he screams. and screams. and screams some more. im not fucking around here. he screamed like nobody's business. lady doctor and young nurse smile at me. oh boy. he gets 8 freaking stitches.
'I AM SO GOING TO KILL YOU AFTER THIS!!!' excuse me? im helping out here and you wanna kill me? nevermind. i'll assume it's the pain talking.
if there were, like, little boys outside waiting to bersunat, they would have cabut lari like hell listening to him scream like that. soon as we got into the car he popped two painkillers.
'whatcha doing?'
'i dont want to feel the painkillers wearing off. mase saye bersunat dulu, bius wore off on the way home. it was the worst drive home ever.'
'oh. ok'
men and their pain tolerance. is it just D? is it every other guy? im dead curious.
btw, yesterday we went for the dressing. he was well-behaved. so i took him to see MIAMI VICE. i mean, he took me to see MIAMI VICE. fucking awesome movie. sex and gory bits. i like sex scenes. i like gory shit.
