Warning: R18.

Zandrey was my first and my last kiss and more and it has been years since it happened. But when our lips touched, it was like I still knew all along how it would feel. It was familiar and consuming.

Alam kong nabigla siya sa ginawa ko kaya halos hindi siya nakagalaw. I’m crazy, I know. Parang kanina lang ayaw kong makasama siya, but a few glasses of beer later, I’m even initiating a kiss.

When I realized what I had done, I quickly moved away. “I’m sorry,” I said.

I didn’t hear him reply.

Nang lumingon ako, Zandrey was just staring at me- the kind of stare that’s trying to pierce through my soul.

“Why did you do that?” He asked.

Why did I do that? Because he looks good and dashing and dreamy and I’m drunk and I haven’t kissed anyone for a very long time.

But I didn’t say a word.

“Aira…”

“I’m drunk, I’m sorry,” I said. Now I’m starting to feel ashamed.

“Please don’t say you’re sorry.”

I didn’t move. I feel like things will get even worse if I move.

“Aira…” he

    The moment I woke up, the memories of what happened last night all came to my mind. Balewala sa akin iyong pananakit ng ulo ko dahil sa nainom ko sa gabi dahil mas nangibabaw iyong inis ko sa sarili ko. See? I knew I would regret it but I still let it happen last night. No, I made it happen last night. I suddenly remember how I initiated the kiss, how I told him to fuck me. Hindi ko alam kung pinaglalaruan ba ako ng utak ko but I thought about me almost begging him for it to happen. And I even told myself I’ll deal with it today. Now that today finally came, parang gusto kong sabunutan ang sarili ko. “Good morning, Mommy,” Andrei greeted. Mabuti na lang ay hindi niya ako naabutang nagpagulong-gulong sa kama. When he went inside my room, I was just lying on the bed, staring at the ceiling. Kasi ano pa bang magagawa ko eh nangyari na? Saka kahit namomroblema ako ngayon, I knew that I wanted it. Ngayon lang talaga na para bang nagbagsakan lahat ng kahihiyan sa akin. “Hi, baby,” I

    The entire time I was with Zandrey was a torture for me. It should be a good time for us because we’re making Andrei happy. Kaso sa tuwing nakikita ko ang mukha niya, iyong nangyari sa amin agad ang naaalala ko.I tried my best to dismiss it because it would only affect my day with our son. I’m not sure if I did succeed, I just know that I survived.Hindi ko na talaga alam kung anong gagawin. Hindi naman pwedeng habang buhay ko na lang siyang iwasan. We have a kid together.At times like this when I don’t know what to do, kay Daisy ako lumalapit. Pero ngayong may pinagdadaanan siya, I’m not sure if I want to burden her with my problems. Mas may malaki siyang problemang pinagdadaanan. But I don’t have any idea how she’s doing right now. Kinukumusta ko naman siya pero hindi naman siya nagri-reply. I thought maybe I should visit her.And that’s what I did. After weeks of thinking about it, I finally went to visit her.Nasa labas na ako ng bahay nila. Kakababa ko lang ng kotse at nakatana

    Sa tuwing tinatanong ko ang sarili, wala rin akong maisagot. I don’t know what I feel. Hindi ko alam kung may galit pa ba sa loob ko o ayaw ko lang makaramdam. Feelings are too complicated to deal with. Ayoko munang dagdagan ang iisipin ko.Matagal ata akong nakatulala para lang pag-isipan ang isasagot, but I still ended up answering, “I don’t know.”“Mahirap i-assess ang feelings ‘no?” Daisy suddenly murmured. Napatingin ako sa kanya and quickly wondered what’s going on with her and Dom. Masyado akong nalulunod sa mga pangyayari sa buhay ko lately that I forgot to ask her.“Kumusta kayo ni Dom?” I queried.Isa sa rason kung bakit sila nagpakasal ay dahil nga buntis si Daisy and both of them realized they want to give the child a complete family. But I can see and feel it, na may nararamdaman na sila para sa isa’t-isa. I saw them before everything got messy. And I saw how genuine Dominic is. It’s just sad that going through this rough patch led them to whatever they are now.When I lo

    It took a few more minutes bago natapos nina Zandrey at Dominic iyong iniihaw nila. When they finished, sila na din iyong naghanda ‘non. They also got the utensils and other stuff we’ll be needing for the dinner.Daisy and I were just sitting pretty there. It kind of feels nice.The food was served, and there was even a bottle of wine. I don’t know who wants to drink the wine, but I’m sure as hell I won’t drink some. Baka mamaya malasing na naman ako at kung ano na naman ang maisipan kong gawin.Alcohol really contributes a lot to my stupidity.Magkatabi kaming dalawa ni Daisy sa isang side ng table habang kaharap naman namin iyong dalawa- Zandrey in front of me and Daisy in front of Dominic.We looked at each awkwardly. Hindi namin alam kung sino iyong unang gagalaw para kumuha ng pagkain. Nagmukha ata kaming tanga.Something’s going on between Daisy and Dominic, at ganoon rin sa amin ni Zandrey. This awkwardness is kind of expected. Hindi ko nga lang alam kung bakit lahat kami ay na

    Tila hindi makapaniwala si Zandrey nang makita akong sa likod sumakay. Nabuksan niya na iyong harap so he peeked from there to look at me.“Are you serious?” He queried. Nakakunot iyong noo niya.Halos hindi ako makatingin sa kanya kaya sa harap ako tumingin nang diretso. “Yes,” matigas na sabi ko.I saw him shake his head through my peripheral vision. And then I heard him chuckling.“Okay, Ai,” he mumbled, amusement was laced in his voice. “Whatever makes you happy.”Isinarado na niya iyong pinto sa harap and ran to the other side. I heard him buckling the seatbelt and before even starting to drive, he turned his head to look at me.There was a grin fighting to show. “San po tayo, ma’am?” He asked teasingly.Agad akong napatingin sa kanya and glared at him. “Tigilan mo nga ako.”Zandrey started laughing heartily. Mukhang tuwang-tuwa siya sa nangyayari ngayon. Ginawa pa talaga akong source of entertainment.“Sigurado ka bang diyan ka talaga uupo?” He asked again, parang naninigurado.

    I am a logical person. I used to think more than once before arriving at a decision.I used to have a system.Pero noon ‘yon.When I met him, I felt like everything I’ve done was out of impulsiveness. Madalas akong hindi mag-isip.Pagdating sa kanya, nabobobo talaga ako.Smart people are dumb in love. Siguro nga totoo ‘yon. I’m probably a walking example.But there’s no love involved. Just him. Just Zandrey. Pero natatanga pa rin ako.“Is there anything you want to say, Ai?” He inquired. His face looks like he’s expecting me to say something very life changing. And I feel like he has an idea what it is. He’s smart. He can probably figure it out.Pero paano ko ba sasabihin sa kanya na iyon ang kailangan ko?“Come on,” he urged.Alam niya nga ata. Basang-basa niya ata ako.He then chuckled. “Or do you want me to be the one to make the proposal?”Damn. I knew it.“It’s okay, Ai,” he said. “We’ll talk about that more some other time,” he added.Nagsimula na siyang magmaneho. Hindi na rin

    Zandrey followed me to the office. I was just trying to remain silent, habang siya ay kung ano-anong sinasabi while we were on the way to the office. Akala mo hindi mauubusan ng pag-uusapan. Andrei really got that from him.“I actually have something to ask also,” he said when we were riding the elevator. Kami lang iyong tao dito.“‘What?” I queried. Whenever people say that line, I don’t know why but I always feel nervous. Wala naman akong ginawang masama and questions shouldn’t make me nervous, but heck, parang hindi ako napapakali hangga’t hindi ko naririnig kung ano iyong tanong niya.“‘Would you like to meet Mom?” He questioned. He means my biological mom and his stepmom.“Why?”“She’s been asking me to ask you,” sagot niya. “Okay lang ba sa ‘yo?”Okay lang ba sa akin?Sure, we were civil the last time we saw each other, but it has been weeks and I’m not sure if that would still be the same. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi ko pa rin alam kung ano ang mararamdaman.A part of me also want

    “Zandrey…” I called. Medyo malalim na ang gabi pero panay akong nagigising. Hindi ako mapakali.I checked on Andrei earlier. Ang sabi kasi ng bata ay masakit daw ang ulo niya kaya hindi rin siya nakapasok sa school. I called Zandrey earlier what medicine to give Andrei. ‘Nong magkaroon siya ng sandaling break ay mabilis siyang umuwi para i-check ang bata. He left medicines and more instructions.Kanino pa iyong tanghali. Gabi na ngayon at hindi pa rin ako mapakali. Maya-maya akong nagchi-check ng temperature ni Andrei. Kanina ay hindi naman ganoon kataas iyong lagnat niya. But the most recent check I did, umabot na iyon ng 38.5. Kaya ang unang ginawa ko ay tawagan si Zandrey.“Hey… How’s Andrei?” Malumanay na tanong niya. I could hear him walking. Hindi ko alam kung anong ginagawa niya ngayon. He’s still in the hospital.“Tumaas na naman iyong temperature. Should I just bring him there?” I asked. Masyado na talaga akong nag-aalala and in times like this and when it comes to my son, na

    TW: Abuse, ViolenceZandrey's POVI was almost running late for my next class. Naharang kasi ako nina Jed at Dominic. Nag-aayang makipag-group date. To avoid prolonging the conversation, I just agreed to go. There's no harm in it. Besides, I might benefit from it. In whichever way, I'm not sure. Lagi lang naman akong game sa mga buhay nila. Lately, all I did was study and go home when I have the chance. I can't mess this up. Not when I don't want to be under my dad's roof anymore. Kaya kailangan kong pagbutihin ang pag-aaral.

    "Does your tummy still hurts?" Andren asked. He's holding a book while looking at me. Napansin niya sigurong napapangiwi ako."Konti. Pero hindi naman gaano," I replied."Mom, why don't you go to the hospital?" Andrew butted in. "Hindi pa naman siguro ako manganganak. Mararamdaman ko naman 'yon," I murmured. I inhaled-exhaled. This month's gonna be my month. We'll finally going to have our baby girl.Zandrey and I had been married already for 8 years. We already have three boys. And finally, after several years of waiting ay magkakaanak na rin kami ng baby girl. I was actually waiting for this. And it indeed came."Asan ba ang Kuya niyo?" I inquired. Andrew and Andren looked at each other. "Where's Andrei?" I asked again."Umakyat ng ligaw," Andrew replied laughingly. My eyes widened because of what I've heard. May nililigawan na ang anak ko nang hindi ko man lang alam? God, he's just sixteen!"What?" I asked, a bit panicking. Hindi pa siya pwedeng magkagirlfriend! Hindi pa siya pwe

    "You may now kiss the bride," the priest said. Dahan-dahan niyang itinaas ang belo ko and smile lovingly at me before brushing his lips to mine. "I love you so much," bulong niya when he hugged me. I returned his hug, even tightier."I love you more," I replied. I felt him kissed the top of my head."Hey, stop that. Picture muna," Daisy exclaimed after that long moment we just had. Naghiwalay na kami mula sa pagyayakapan and smiled at each other.We took pictures and a lot of pictures. We wanted to have as much documentation as possible. Masasabi kong ito na talaga ang isa sa mga pinakamasasayang araw ng buhay ko. I believe this is what Zandrey feels as well. Today, we just really happy because after everything we went through, all the backwards and forwards that came in between, we are finally here and are officially married.I am Maria Airaleen Alfonso-Del Fuerto now.

    It took him weeks to fully recover from everything. He had to go to a lot of therapy to fully recover. Mabuti na lang at walang ibang na-damage sa kanya. He still has to stay at home for some more time though. But that's okay. As long as he's okay and still breathing.He already knew about my pregnancy . I will never forget the huge smile on his face when I show him a picture of the sonogram. Thank God my body also recovered kaya wala na akong problema sa pagbubuntis.We decided to have the wedding after I gave birth to the baby. Ayokong malaki iyong tiyan ko kung ikakasal ako. We agreed to it and I know we're all set for that. Kailangan din munang manganak ni Daisy because she still wants to be the one who will organize it for us.We're currently in bed, both ready to sleep when I felt him hug me. Nang lingunin ko siya, nakita kong nakangiti siya sa akin."I can't wait to marry you," he mumbled. Natawa na lang ako. We're still quite far from the date we initially set.I remember when

    Iyak ako nang iyak habang nagmamaneho si Thaniel. We were still an hour away from the hospital where Zandrey is. At hindi na ako mapakali. No one would tell me what's really his condition and my heart can't stay still. "Ai, please don't forget you're pregnant. Makakasama sa baby 'yan," Thaniel said, his eyes, still focused on the road. Ilang beses na niyang sinabi 'yon, pero kahit anong gawin ko, hindi pa rin ako matigil sa pag-iyak. Hindi ko alam kung paano kakalma pagkatapos ng nalaman ko. I can't help but blame myself for everything that happened. Kung hindi ako nagmatigas, siguro ay walang away at hindi mangyayari ito. From time to time, I text Daisy or Dominic for update but none of them has replied to my messages. Hindi na ako mapakali sa kinauupuan ko. Kung pwede lang paliparin itong sasakyan, kanina ko pa ginawa. Hindi ako relihiyoso. I don't pray as often. I don't call Him all the time, but at times like this, I have no one call but Him.

    Aira's POV I decided to take a vacation. Alam kong hindi dapat ako nagbabakasyon ngayon sa dami ng mga dapat gawin sa firm. Pero kailangan ko 'to. I needed to go somewhere so I can clear my head. If I don't do this, I might explode, so I needed a relaxing place where I can fully be alone with myself and my thoughts. "Siguro ka bang okay ka lang?" Thaniel asked. I asked him for help in booking a room in his resort. It was very last minute and I hate to take advantage of our friendship, but I just really need this right now. "I'll be fine, Thaniel," I responded. Mukhang hindi pa rin siya kumbinsidong okay lang ako. There was something in his face. I tried to smile at him pero mukhang naging ngiwi iyon. "Ang creepy," he commented. I rolled my eyes at him and he just laughed. "Siguradong okay ka lang mag-isa dito ha?" "Oo nga," I replied. "Just call me whenever you need anything, okay?" "I will." I shooed him away once again. Mukhang ayaw niya kasing umalis. Kailangan ko nang map

    I woke up with a heavy head. Para akong dinaganan ng ilang daang sasakyan. I couldn't even stand up from my bed because of the heaviness I feel. "I cooked some soup. You should have some para mabawasan ang sakit ng ulo mo." I looked up and saw Mom standing beside me. When I looked around, I realized I was at my old unit. Wala na akong maalala kung paano ako nakauwi dito. "Si Dom na ang nag-uwi sa 'yo dito kagabi. Lasing na lasing ka," she stated as she walked towards me. Pinaurong niya ako sa kama saka siya tumabi sa akin. "Ano bang nangyayari, Zandrey? May problema ba kayo ni Aira?" Gulong-gulo na ang isip ko. Nauubusan na ako ng lakas sa tuwing naiisip ko ang mga nangyayari. Aira's still not talking to me. Her father punched me in the face. And now, I'm about to tell her Mom that I hurt her daughter.Why is this happening to me?"Come on, you can tell me everything, Zandrey," she murmured.I took a heavy breath before I started telling her everything that happened.It was not ea

    I know she's hurting because of what she witnessed. I was hurting too because I unintentionally hurt her. Kahit gaano mo pala iwasan iyong mga bagay na pwedeng makasakit, you would still end up hurting them. Pero alam ko sa sarili kong wala akong kasalanan. I was just a victim too and I wanted to explain myself to her. But she's not giving me any chance to explain at all. I understand her, but I am also being put in a helpless situation.The entire time I was still busy at the hospital, maya't-maya pa ring pumapasok si Aira sa isip ko. I was so distracted at work that I just wanted to take the rest of the day off. Kaso hindi pwede. Walang ibang on-duty na doctor. So even if I really don't want to wait, I just did. I can't run away from my responsibilities here.When I got home, it was already late, and she was already sleeping. She locked the door.
