Nana App

Lina woke up early the next day because of her stomach churning, she ran straight to the bathroom to throw up. She barely fell asleep because she would wake up every few hours to throw up even though all she had taken in are just fluids at this point.

Jenny knocked on the bathroom door. Jenny has been staying in her assigned room in Lina's house the past week because of Lina's condition. Doctor Alex came early to check on Lina too. They were just about to enter her room when they heard her slam the bathroom door closed and the retching.

"Lina, do you need help?" She asked from the door. They're very worried about her. She's lost a few pounds already and she's so tired. The doctors can't find out what's wrong with her. Except for the fact that she's constantly throwing up, all her results are normal. They're guessing that it could be a severe PMS since she just had her period.

After a few minutes, they heard the water running inside and then Lina came out looking like death. When she saw Doctor Alex, she asked him directly. "Alex, what is wrong with me? Fix me please."

"You have to be really sick before you call me Alex. Come on, let's get you back to bed." Alex and Jenny helped Lina back to bed.

Alex took blood samples from her again and inserted an IV and some sedatives so she can rest. Soon after, Lina is fast asleep. At this point, this is all that they can do to help her, replenishing her body through IV and vitamin shots so she doesn't get dehydrated.

Lina woke up again well after noon. John was sitting down in the sofa in the room playing on his phone.

"Hey, how are you feeling?" He asked Lina, as he walked towards her and grabbed the phone to tell whoever it is that she's awake.

"I'm feeling better." Lina said, happy not to have a cramping stomach.

After a few minutes, Sam came in with Josie, with food for her. And Jenny with a small box in her hand.

Sam, their in-house medic, checked her IV and pulled it out off of her arm. And left with John and Josie. Leaving Jenny there with her.

"What's that?" She asked Jenny.

"It's a package for you. Should I open it?"

"Go ahead." Lina said with a mouthful of porridge.

Jenny went ahead to open the box. Inside is a letter addressed to Lina.

Nana,

Switch on the tablet and open the app.

Henry

"Ah Henry sent it." Jenny said as he opened the smaller box containing the device. It's a regular tablet brand and model that she can buy from Novaly too. He didn't have to send her one.

Jenny handed it to her as she pulled it out of the box.

"Jenny, you should take the day off. I'll be fine, I'm feeling better already. I won't go out anyway." Lina tells Jenny.

Jenny hesitated but Lina insisted. "Okay, if you're sure. I'll tell John to call me if there's anything." Jenny finally agreed.

After she kicked out her loyal assistant, Lina pressed the switch button. When the device properly opened, she saw there's only one app called Nana. She arranged the cover to turn it into a stand and placed it on her bed table so she can go back to her food. Then tapped on the app to start it as the device connected automatically to her home WiFi. It was just a white screen with a loading bar on top so she waited and went back to eating.

Lina was finishing her porridge, using the bowl, when he heard Henry's, "Hi, baby." As she looked up, the tablet is now showing Henry's sweaty face with a handsome smile on his perfect face.

"Hello?" Lina replied, still confused.

"It's a video call app, baby." He replied.

"Oh great." Lina said as it finally sank in and then she covered her face with both her hands. "Oh no, I look like a mess."

"No, you look as beautiful as ever. What did you have?" Henry asked with a smile.

Still feeling conscious, Lina said, "I'll call back in thirty." And shut off the tablet.

She hurriedly rushed to shower and got changed. She's feeling better and filled with more energy. Maybe the stomach bug was really just PMS. Lina made sure to wear a long-sleeved shirt to cover the injection marks on her arms and paired it with gray leggings.

When she came out of the bathroom, Josie already removed her empty dishes. Even if she rushed, it was past the thirty minutes she told him. She went to sit by her sofa after opening the curtains to let more sunshine in. She put the tablet to stand on the table in front and opened the app. And the white background showed up again.

She had to admit that she's a little nervous on seeing him again. He looked too hot earlier with his breath-taking smile and messy wet hair from working out.

"Hi again." Henry said as his video appeared on the screen. He's already dressed in his office clothes, only his jacket missing and tie, which he's currently putting on.

"Hi. We can do video call on my phone too, you know." Lina said

"This is more secure. We don't want a random person entering in our conversation and to record it." Henry answered as he finished tightening up his tie.

"Makes sense. Heading to the office soon?"

"Yeah, and I was thinking of bringing you with me. Since you're off today and all that."

"I'm okay with that. So, are we going now?" She asked.

"Yes, don't get impatient now. Hold a second, I'll move the call to my phone first for the car ride."

The screen disappeared for a few seconds before it came back again. Henry is now using his cellphone and have wireless ear buds on his right ear.

"Are you not going to eat?" Lina asked as he walked towards the door. His driver carried his bag to the car already.

"No, I'll have some in the office when I feel hungry." Henry answered as he got into the back seat of the car. "Baby, are you okay?"

"Yeah, why?" Lina hurriedly looked down to see if any of her injection marks are showing. Even her sleeves are extra-long, to cover the back of hand.

"You lost weight." Henry told her with a worried frown again.

"I'm just getting used to work again. You saw me eating earlier." Lina assured him. "I'm fine."
