Would You ..?

upon returning from taking care of my dad at the hospital the other day ... someone was asking me "would you take care of me the same?". of which i answered swiftly "haven't i took care of you last time?", referring to almost a week time i spent attending to that someone's needs and etc etc which left me with not enough sleep, tho it was supposed to be my rest days of which exactly the reason i took a week off at the first place. and no further reply or query other than smile on that someone's face.

this is not the first time i have been asked similar question. but as i recall i have never asked the same question to others. even to my wife. am not too sure why.

as my wife put it ... "awak tu kalo sakit mana pernah nak cakap dengan saya. asben orang lain kalo sakit abis bini dia kene buli kene buat macam2. kene masak bubur la apa la ...bla bla bla .."

i have never confided in anyone about my illness. if i ever fall sick i will just go and see the doctor and get the respective medication. if i need to be hospitalised then i will just pack my things and go to the hospital on my own. i will not whine about my sickness except in my sleep. about foods and meals if i can't prepared it myself than i will be off wandering around looking for it. probably that explain why most of the times my wife did not and do not know that i am sicked and got an illness.

but God knows how much i wanted for someone to pop me a question instead *would you let me take care of you when you sick ..". and it will not just by a mere question gesture ..
