; first number '9':
mov     ah, 09h

; second number '5':
mov     al, 05h

; al = al + ah =
;    = 09h + 05h = 0eh
add     al, ah

; clear tens byte of bcd
; result:
xor     ah, ah

; adjust result to bcd form,
; ah = 1, al = 4  ->  '14'

mov     dx, ax

; print first digit:
mov     ah, 0eh
; convert to ascii:

; print second digit:
; convert to ascii:

; wait for any key press:
