Magkano
Ilang minuto rin kami sa ganoong posisyon. Hindi na ‘ko nagulat na siya ang unang kusang kumalas sa yakap na ‘yon. Wala naman siyang sinabi pero tingin ko’y nagpipigil siya ng emosyon. Tila hirap na hirap siya, pumikit siya at minasahe ang ilong.
Napahinga ako ng malalim bago humakbang ng isang beses paatras para magkaroon ng distansya sa pagitan naming dalawa. Pinakatitigan ko siya at nang maramdaman niya ang mata ko sa kaniya ay lumaban siya ng titigan sa akin. I lost.
“I missed you…” malungkot na saad ko sa isip. Hindi ko magawang bigkasin ng malakas kaya tumalikod na lang ako para tignan ang niluluto niya.
Ako na ang tumapos sa nakasalang habang tahimik lang siyang nanonood sa akin. Hindi ko ininda ang paninitig niya kahit pa gustung-gusto ko na siyang yakapin ulit. His intense stare is doing something else in my body. I can feel myself getting lost in the heat.
“Curious ka paano ako natuto magluto?” sabi ko habang hinahal
Promise“Write down any amount. Ako na ang magbabayad ng utang sayo. Hindi ka aalis.”Ah, sh!t. My heart’s racing. Kinailangan ko pang huminga ng malalim para makabawi sa linyang iyon. I don’t know if he knows it, but every little thing he does or says, everything blows my mind. He shakes my heart; he makes it stop beating. Na para bang siya ang nagmamay-ari nito kaya kayang-kaya niyang buoin o gibain sa mga simpleng salita.“I, uh, okay… Kung ayaw mo ‘kong umalis, okay...” Napayuko ako. Para akong napaamong tigre, animo’y matapang pero kinikilig naman.But he scoffed at me. “Ayaw ko? Ang ayaw ko ay ang umiyak na naman si Kahel kakahanap sayo.” ‘Yung puso kong hawak niya na kanina, parang bigla niyang binitawan. “Wala akong pakialam kung saan ka pupunta.” Tapos parang inapak-apakan niya pa.“I know.” Pagsubok kong bumawi sa pagkakapahiya. Tinaa
Punish“You don’t break a promise with me, woman.”He locked the door behind us.His grip on me loosened, so I got the chance to roam my eyes around the room. It was his home office. Bumungad sa akin ang kulay itim na L-shaped at dalawang single-seat sofa na pinagigitnaan ng maliit na table. Sa magkabilang gilid naman ng silid ay dalawang high-ceiling bookshelves. Habang sa pinakadulo ay ang kaniyang lamesa at office chair.Dumiretso si Hue sa lamesa niya, itinuon niya ang dalawang kamay niya doon. Wala siyang imik pero napansin ko ang pagtaas-baba ng balikat niya hudyat na sinusubukan niyang kontrolin ang kanyang emosyon.He’s mad.I was reluctant at first, but when I got near him, it became hard for me to stop myself from touching his right arm. He flinched at my touch, but his heavy breathing suddenly stopped.“Sorry kung ngayon lang ako.” I sadly said, pertaining to not just about tonig
PleaseI went out of the room after licking his lips. Surprisingly, he didn’t try to stop me.I was so pissed off at him, but that only fueled my arousal. I know I need to relieve myself of this frustration or else I’m going to come back and beg for him to pleasure me. That sounded not bad at all, it sounded like a good plan, but my pride won’t let me.I value my choices and independence, and even if I’m into him, that will never change. My choice of clothes is something I do for myself, no matter how simple or grand it is. I’m not myself I f I just let him have judge and decide for me.I was about to go to Kahel’s playroom, but I can’t face Manang Maria and Kahel in this state. So, what I did is explore the second floor for a room. Mabuti na lang at sa playroom sila pinapunta ni Hue kanina. Kaya kahit nahihiya ako sa sarili na pumasok sa silid ng anak ko sa ganitong ayos ay malaya akong nakakuha ng pares
Breakfast“Umuwi ka na kaya muna?”Naguguluhan akong lumingon sa nagsalita. It was Maliah.Anong nangyayari? Nilibot ko ang tingin sa paligid. I found Aeza sleeping on the hospital bed just like the way she was before she disappeared. Why am I in the hospital?! What is happening?!“I guess I should go. Babalik ako agad.” Nagulat ako nang magsalita ako. I said the exact words I’ve said that night. Ang mas nakakagulat pa ay hindi ko namalayan na lumapit na pala ako sa natutulog pa rin na si Aeza. Hinalikan ko siya sa noo at ganon din kay Kahel.Everything went fast. The next thing I know, I was already lying on my bed at home. This is the part where I will sleep, and Goddess knows I shouldn’t. I should go back to the hospital to stop Aeza from leaving me, from taking away my son. But I can’t fvcking move. I tried and forced myself, but nothing’s working. It felt like as if I can’t control
Game Ang mga sumunod na araw ay mabilis na lumipas. Halos wala kaming ibang ginawa kundi ang magkulong sa bahay. Pero minsan, nilalakad ko ang kaso sa umaga at agad na umuuwi para makasama sa mga kasayahan ng dalawa. Pagkakataon na rin iyon para mas magkaroon ng sariling oras ang mag-ama ng sila lang para na rin mas magkakilala sila. Tulad ng inaasahan, naging madali kay Hue ang mapalapit sa anak. Halos hindi na sila mapaghiwalay. Hanggang sa pagtulog ay gusto niyang katabi ang ama, kaya naman sinasamahan namin sa silid si Kahel hanggang sa makatulog siya. At kapag tagumpay at maaga siyang nagpahinga, sinasamantala namin iyon para bumawi sa mga nawalang oras. Sa madaling salita, ang araw namin ay nakalaan kay Kahel habang ang gabi ay para sa amin. Halos gabi-gabi akong niroromansa ni Hue na parang wala ng bukas. Mabuti rin na umuwi na si Manang Maria kaya naman malaya na kaming nakakakilos sa buong bahay. Kaya ang tatlong taon na pagkatuyot a
PromiseAeza was acting cute. She always calls me babe, she kisses me all the time, and she always excites me which leads to you know what I mean. It started the day Maya came, she’s been cuddlier, sweeter, and sexier. I didn’t know that she’s territorial, possessive even more. And I’m enjoying every bit of it.When she said that she wants a date with me, I know that she was jealous. She was marking me in front of Maya. It was funny to act clueless about what she’s doing. Before, it was always me who’s jealous. So, I happily joined her games to experience what’s it’s like to be the receiving end. I know for sure Maya doesn’t mind a little PDA, that’s why whenever Aeza feels needy, I always give in to her.I reminisced our moments on our very first date, and I can’t help but smile.Aeza doesn’t have anything to wear for our date night. She still uses the three pair of shirts a
BetrayalPagdating namin ni Kahel sa opisina ay pinagtitinginan siya ng mga dumadaan. Ang kaninang madaldal at masaya niyang mood ay napalitan ng hiya. Binuhat ko siya at agad siyang nagtago sa balikat ko dahil sa dami ng tao.“Baby, it’s okay. They are all friends of Daddy.” Kahit ilang beses kong sabi kay Kahel ay hindi pa rin niya inangat ang tingin sa mga nadadaanan.Binilisan ko nalang ang lakad patungo sa silid ko para sana mas maging komportable siya. Ngunit bago pa kami makapasok ay sinalubong kami agad ng sekretarya ko, si Tessa.“Sir, Mr. Silverio is here again.” Bungad niya sa akin. She called me about this yesterday. It is also the reason I came here.“Did you lead him to the meeting room?” When she nodded, I went inside my office. I asked Tessa to follow me.Nang makapasok sa loob ay agad kong ibinaba si Kahel sa sofa. “Baby, this is Ate Tessa, she’s our friend. She&
NeverHe kidnapped the senator’s son because he wanted my company to fall. He was threatened because I am my father’s biological son. And when he found out that Dad is willing to give everything to my son, he kidnapped him and my love. The pain is twice as it was before, now that I found out that my brother is behind all of this. Betrayal indeed doesn’t come from enemies. I am feeling these different emotions because the person I didn’t expect to do it did it to me.Tulala ako ng ilang saglit matapos ang pakikipag-usap. Dinadamdam ko pa ang mga nalaman.“Hue, I suggest you cooperate with Ms. Guinto regarding this matter. Ikaw na ang bahalang makipag-usap sa kaniya. What we’ve learned today will make an impact to the ongoing case. You can call me anytime if you two need help.” Dahil hindi na rin niya ako makausap ng matino dahil sa mga iniisip ko ay hindi ko na namalayan ang pag-alis ni Attorney Martin.I
