"Alam mo, hindi ko alam na ikaw rin pala ang may-ari ng Loeisal Malmdan Company," sambit ko nang makapag-order na kami ng pagkain. Mabuti na lang at may sinigang, dahil gusto ko iyon ngayon lalo't malamig.
"I told you, I have left and right businesses around the country," tugon niya. Nasa harap ko siya nakaupo habang inaayos ang mga pinggan naming dalawa.
"I know, but LMC is my dream company, and I never thought that it was one of yours."
"Well, I never thought that it would be someone's dream company. Have you never searched about the LMC on the internet before?"
"I did, but your name wasn't there. Sabagay, hindi na ako magtataka, kahit nga 'yong mga employees mo sa Island Motel Bar, hindi ka rin kilala, eh."
Napangiti ako. Tama, naalala kong wala nga pala akong pangarap noon. Because of him, he left me, leaving me with no choice but to have a dream and pursue it. Sadly, I missed the chance to be employed, but still, it was like God made a move for me to be there. He used Ismael as an instrument to make my dreams come true, even if Ismael didn't really think it was my dream beforehand."Because of your scent?" tanong na sagot ko. Napalingon naman siya sa akin na sandaling nagsalubong ang mga kilay na para bang nagtatanong. "Napansin ko kasing malakas ang pang-amoy ko at mabilis kong matandaan ang amoy ng mga bagay-bagay. And it all started with you, bukod sa necktie, palagi mo akong iniiwanan ng amoy mo."Ngumiti siya. "Because you always grab my necktie. I had no choice but to leave it in your hands." Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko.
"Dali, baka magbago pa ang isip ko," nabubugnot niyang sambit. Nakangiti ko siyang sinubuan ng rice cake na mabigat sa tiyan. Ganoon na rin ng mandu at kimbap. I noticed how his eyes sparked in amazement.Tsk. Papilit pa, magugustuhan din naman pala.At ayon, inubos niya na ang pagkain ko. Mukhang nakalimutan niya ang prinsipyo niya na huwag kumain ng hindi masusustansiyang pagkain dahil sa impluwensya ko."Here," he said, as he handed me a can of juice that he bought from the convenience store near the park. Kinuha ko iyon at tiningnan. "Lemon water?" tanong ko, habang natatawa. "Sobrang conscious mo naman sa health, Ismael.""I need to," sagot niya, bago umupo sa tabi ko. Kasalukuyan kaming narito sa bench sa may park at pinagmamasdan ang mga punong pinal
"Even if my father divorced my mother, I am still his first legal son from his first marriage. It was just that he needed to obey the tradition so he needed to get married again to fulfill his duty and promise to give birth to another ten babies in this world with a different woman. And that's what they told me that I needed to do also, but I am against it. I don't want to get my woman pressured by these things to have an anxiety of not bearing enough. I want to have a normal family that doesn't force me to obey such traditions. I want my future family to be happy and free without any constraints or eyes who judge and follow every single thing we do. I want a peaceful life with the one I love, with you, Jothea."A tear escaped from my eyes. I was just observing his lips speak those sweet things, but what really amazed me was that he sounded so brave. The way h
"Halika na, matulog na tayo."Papabangon na ako nang hilahin niya ang tali ng bathrobe ko dahilan para magkalas ito. "Ismael! I just put some lotion on you; why are you being like this?""The weather here is so cold for me. Can you give me some warmth?"Napahalakhak ako sa hinirit niya sa akin. I can see the blush on his cheeks. It was because he's totally drunk. "Kaya ba uminom ka ng alak?"Tumango siya. "Tsk, you should have drunk coffee instead.""No, I already took a cup of it earlier. My heart has been palpitating enough since you've been around. I don't want to die yet, though your gorgeous face is taking my breath away." Muli akong natawa. So, cheesy pal
"Ahhhh! Stop this, Ismael, I'm begging you!" I pleaded, but never heard. He continues to do his business."But it was you who started this," mapang-akit niyang sagot nang tigilan niya ang paghalik sa akin. Iyon ay sa pag-aakala kong wala nang kasunod, pero mabilis niyang ipinasok ang daliri niya sa likuran ko."Ismael! Ahhhh!"The feeling was new. I never thought I would experience such a pleasure. Oo, masakit, pero dahil masakit mas lalong tumataas ang pagnanasa kong subukan ang mga bagay-bagay.Napakagat ako sa kamay ko nang pasukan niya muli ito ng isa pang daliri. Nanginginig ang mga tuhod ko, habang dinadaliri niya ako. I can hear the squelching of his fingers against my flesh. It's fucking unbelievable. How I
"Ahhhh! Faster, Ismael! Faster! Get it deeper!" I begged. I know I am not that drunk because my alcohol intolerance was higher than a normal person could have, but why do I feel like I am so high? Is this because of what we are doing? I'm being screwed in a different location. This is getting me lost in my nuts."Are you close?" tanong niya."Yes! I'm fucking close, Ismael! Just keep doing that! Ahh!"I felt the rush of my fluid outside my whole damn well before being grabbed by him to feel another explosion inside me. Ismael was biting my shoulder while groping to my upper body. "Damn, that was good," I blurted out."It was," he answered before clenching my chin to grab a passionate kiss from me. He then continued
Inalis niya ang kumot na patuloy kong itinatakip sa hubad kong katawan. "Ayoko sabi!"Patuloy siyang tumawa. "Ang tigas pa rin ng ulo," komento niya. "Dali na. Huwag ka nang mahiya, aasawahin mo naman ako.""Kahit na! Nakakahiya pa rin na ikaw ang maglalagay! Ako na lang kasi!""Paano mo ilalagay sa sarili mo? Sige nga!" May point naman siya, kaya wala na akong nagawa kung hindi hayaan na lang siyang pahiran ng ointment ang parteng iyon ng katawan ko.Speaking of aasawahin, naalala ko ang tungkol sa promise ring na ibinigay niya sa akin. Naroon pa nga pala iyonsa bahay ko, dahil hinubad ko iyon doon. Hindi ko pa nakukuha, katulad ni Mael. Napakawala ko talagang kwentang nilalang.
"Ano 'yan?" tanong ko, habang pinagmamasdan ang hawak niya."Blue pine. It is an air purifier. Actually, lahat naman ng halaman ay air purifier. Also, this one is for you." Ipinakita pa niya sa akin ang isa pang klase ng halaman. Kung kanina ay kulay asul, ngayon naman ay kulay berde. "This is a lemon pine, a mosquito repellent; para hindi ka lamukin at isa pa, this smells good."Napanganga ako nang pumigtas siya ng isang piraso ng maliit na tangkay mula sa halaman bago inamoy at pinaamoy sa akin. I can't help but smile. "Oo nga, ano? Mabango nga!" Kinuha ko sa kamay niya ang maliit na piraso ng dahon ng lemon pine at inamoy. "Amoy aircon.""Ito ang amoy aircon kasi air purifier," pagturo niya sa blue pine."Eh, sab
