Plano 

Midas'

Hindi masaya ang tatay niya. Iyon ang paulit – ulit na naiisip ni Midas habang binabasa ang email nito sa kanya. He told him about his academic standing, he's in the number two spot while Lara Sanggalang is still at the top. Hindi nagustuhan iyon ng kanyang ama. Ilang beses nang tinanong nito kung hanggang doon nga lang ba ang kaya niya, and he knew he can do better but Lara keeps getting better than him and he cannot accept that.

"Hello, asshole." Mukhang talagang nanadya ang pagkakataon. Sa lahat ng taong maaari niyang makasalamuha sa loob ng Frat house ay si Lara pa ang makikita niya. Lara is a demolay. She is the only daughter and the sole heir of the Sanggalang Foor Industries. Their company is known all over the Philippines and in Asia. They have chains of Filipino restaurants here and there and his father is also a member of the frat.

"What do you want, Lara?" Midas asked in an irritated tone. He hates her too much. She's always getting into his nerves. Lara smiled at him, iyong mapang-asar na ngiti, iyong parang ipinamumukha sa kanya na hindi siya kahit kailan magiging una sa acads kasi nag-e-exist ito sa mundo.

"Did you see your name on the board? Yep, it's under my name. Haha! Number two again this sem, Torrero, anong sabi ng daddy mo?"

"It's none of your business." Midas stood up. "Pupunta ka rito para mang-asar, Lara, anong makukuha mo roon?" Midas grinned at her. "If I know, nagpunta ka lang rito para silayan ako. Kailan mo kaya aaminin sa sarili mong gusto mo ako at nagpapalandi ka sa akin?"

"Ang kapal ng mukha mo. Kahit anong sabihin mo, number 2 ka pa rin. Loser." Lara made a face. She even out her fingers in the form of the letter L tapos ay idinikit nito iyon sa kanyang noo saka siya binelatan nito. Gustong – gusto sana niyang patulan ang babae ngunit iniwanan na lamang niya ito sa living room area. Kailangan niyang huminga, masyado na siyang nasasakal sa lahat ng expectations sa kanya ng kanyang ama. Masyado nang mabigat ang balikat niya sa dami ng dapat niyang gawin upang mapanatili ang reputasyon niya at matuwa sa kanya ang tatay niya.

Sa lahat ng ito, Midas only wanted to hear his father say that he is proud of him. Mahirap kasi talagang i-please ang tatay niya, and that is one of the few reasons why Maverick left their family. Lahat ng gustong gawin ng kapatid niya noon ay hindi gusto ng kanilang ama kaya umalis ito. Nang mangyari iyon, sa kanya naiwan lahat ng responsibilidad nito bilang anak ng kaniang ama – to him it's so unfair, but he cannot do anything about it.

Midas found himself walking towards the University entrance. It's a Saturday, he has no classes, no Polo practice and no organization meetings and yet he found himself entering the premises. He wanted to walk until his mind is clear. Gusto niyang ibigay ang gusto ng kanyang ama. He wanted to be number 1 and he's doing everything, paano niya maagaw ang spot na iyon kay Lara?

Huminto siya sa paglalakad sa tapat ng isang three – storey building malapit sa football field ng University. Nakapamulsa siyang tinanaw ang building na iyon. May mangilan – ngilang taong lumalabas mula roon, ilang professors niya ang nakakilala sa kanya, he nodded at them. He stayed there for a little longer, nang masiguro niyang wala nang gaanong tao at walang makakakita sa kanya, ay saka sita pumasok sa loob ng building. He took the stairs and climbed till he reached the third floor. He walked silently in the hallway until he finally made a full stop in front of that brown door at the end of the aisle. He bent down to get the key under the rug, and that was when he opened the door.

Midas silently walked inside the one-bedroom dorm. Nakatayo siya sa gitna ng unit na iyon. Everything seemed small and crowded and yet, this feels home. He wanted to be here, to clear his head, he wanted to be here to forget – even just for a little while all the pressure he has on his shoulders. He wanted to be here.

Lumakad si Midas patungo sa tanging silid na naroon. He opened the door but darkness greeted him. The cold room is enticing and it made him want to sleep on the bed in the middle of that room, so he did, he took his shoes off, and then his pants, and then his shirt and climbed the bed to make himself comfortable.

He wrapped his arms around the sleeping body beside him. He buried his face on her neck and inhaled her scent. Siguro dahil sa ginawa niya ay nagising ang katabi niya kung kaya't binuksan nito ang ilaw at saka tumingin sa kanya.

"Go back to sleep, Binibini." He said in his lazy bedroom voice.

"Mr. Torrero, what are you doing? Baka may nakakita sa'yo!"

"So? I can just tell people that I needed extra help for your subject, Binibini."

"Midas, you can't just barge in here and do this. The school---" Natigilan si Miss Magracia pagkatapos ay hinaplos nito ang kanyang mukha. "Aww, lumabas na ang DL. Still at number 2? Aww... that's too bad, Midas. You've worked so hard for it all. Did you tell your father?"

"I wish I didn't, pero kahit naman hindi malalaman at malalaman niya pa rin. He has connections." Napailing siya. "How can Lara do that? She's too... good. I came here because I wanted to forget."

"Okay... What do you want, Mr. Torrero." Midas grinned at Miss Magracia.

"You know what I want, Binibini. I want that beautiful mouth of yours around my hardened cock."

He didn't need to say anything more, Binibining Magracia pulled the sheets down and did everything she could to make him forget. Whenever he needs comfort and sex, he comes to her. Kathryna always makes him feel good, she always satisfies him.

Katryna's

"I have an idea."

Katryna looked at Midas who was still lying beside her. They both just came down from a body shattering orgasm. This boy never fails to satisfy her sexual needs, maybe that's the reason why she cannot ignore all his flirtations, kaya nga napunta sila sa ganito. She played with Midas' ear. Nakatingin lang naman sa kanya ang binate na tila ba naghihintay ng sasabihin niya. She even bit her lower lip, she cannot help but smile as she stares as him, Midas Torrero is a treat.

"What is it?" Humihingal na tinanong siya nito. He caressed her hair. "Come closer, I'll play with your pussy."

"Stop." Katryna chuckled. "Mamaya na. Makinig ka muna." Umayos ito nang pagkakahiga pagkatapos ay ngumisi sa kanya.

"Do you want to go on a trip again? Sa Subic or sa La Union? Ten rounds a day again?"

"That is tempting but as the midterms finished, marami akong trabaho, Midas. Saka isa pa, kailangan ko nang tapusin ang paper ko so I can finally have that Ph.D at the end of my name." She even winked at her. "Anyway, I have a plan. If you wanna beat Lara Sanggalang, make her fall in love with you. That's the only way you can ever distract her. Palagi kong nakikita si Miss Sanggalang na nakatingin sa'yo from afar, maybe you can use that, plus, you also need to have a demolay by your side. Makakabuti siya sa'yo. Kapag nalaman ng tao na girlfriend mo si Miss Sanggalang, it will only boost your popularity and your status as a member of the Delta Kappa Phi. She is good for you. You need to make her yours."

It's the perfect plan. Katryna couldn't help but smile. Mukhang pinag-iisipan rin maman ni Midas ang plano niya kaya matagal itong nakatitig sa kanya. He keeps on playing with her hair, mukha namang nakagawa nang desisyon ang binate dahil bigla itong ngumisi at huminga nang pagkalalim – lalim.

Matagal na niyang kilala si Midas but their sexual relationship started last year. Hindi naman iyon kasama sa plano niya sa buhay, but she couldn't help herself. Masyadong persistent si Midas, he keeps on flirting with him at alam niyang napapansin iyon ng buong klase. She cares a lot about her reputation as a college professor but then, mas matindi ang tawag ng libog sa kanya. She found himself under his spell at sunod – sunuran siya ngayon sa lahat ng nais nitong gawin sa kanya sa kama.

Their relationship is purely sexual. Malinaw iyon sa kanilang dalawa. Hindi rin naman siya nag-e-expect ng kahit ano sa binate dahil alam niyang marami itong pangarap para sa sarili nito. She knows the pressure that he's into, minsan nga ay naaawa na siya rito. Midas is only twenty – years old and yet parang pasan na nito ang buong mundo. She wasn't like that when she was twenty – hanggang ngayo naman na twenty – six na siya ay hindi pa rin siya ganoon. She's busy with her work and with graduate school but she sure knows how to have fun.

"So? What do you think?" She even giggled. Hinaplos – haplos niya ang dibdib ni Midas.

"That's actually NOT a bad idea."

"Consider it, you'll see. Siya mismo ang luluhod sa'yo." Katryna stood up. She needed to take a bath. Sex is good, pero napakalagkit ng pakiramdam niya ngayon. Si Midas kasi.

"Where are you going?"

"Maliligo ako. Ayoko ng kasabay. We're done for today, Midas."

"But I want more, hindi pa ako kumakain, Binibini." Bigla itong ngumisi sa kanya na para bang batang nagyayang mamasyal sa isang park. Kapag ganoon si Midas ay hindi niya mapigilan ang paglambot ng kanyang damdamin. Alam niya kung hanggang saan lamang silang dalawa, alam niya ang lugar niya, at alam niya rin na kahit kailan ay hindi siya dapat makaramdam ng kahit ano sa binate – pero sadyang mahirap pala ang larning sinimulan nilang dalawa.

Katryna went inside the bathroom. She stood under the shower and started to soap herself but not a moment later, may ibang kamay nang humahaplos sa katawan niya. Midas knows all the buttons to push, kaya hindi nagtagal ay magkahugpong na naman ang katawan nilang dalawa. She's begging again, she wanted to be fucked hard and fast – and that's exactly what he's doing right now.

"I want to fuck you in my room inside that mansion, Kath." Wika nito sa kanyang tainga. That fired her up more. Privilege para sa mga outsider na tulad niya ang makapasok sa bahay na iyon. Walang professors ang nakakapasok sa bahay na iyon, it is exclusive for members, legacies and demolays, isa iyon sa dahilan kung bakit halos lahat ng tao sa University ay curious sa kung anong mayroon sa loob.

After that round, Katryna cooked for Midas. Wala namang ibang laman ang ref niya kundi eggs and bacons. Hindi pa siya nago-grocery, siguro bukas, Linggo naman kasi. Today, she wanted some alone time, pero nandito si Midas, isang bagay na hindi niya basta mahihindian.

"Here, eat."

"Thank you." He started eating, ganoon na rin ang ginawa niya. Panaka-naka ay tumititig siya rito. Palagi siyang may naaalala tuwing tumitingin siya kay Midas, at sa tuwing nangyayari iyon ay binabawalan niya ang kanyang sarili.

"Aalis ka na?" Tanong niya nang tumayo na ito. Inilagay ni Midas sa sink ang pinagkainan nito saka humarap sa kanya.

"Yes. Thank you for brunch, Kath." He said. Hinagkan pa siya nito sa noo. "And yes, your plan is brilliant, Binibini."

"Glad to help." Sinaluduhan niya pa ang lalaki at pinanood niya ito habang palabas ito ng kanyang unit. Kath found herself sighing – day after day, Midas keeps reminding her of him. Binawalan niya ang kanyang sarili, narinig ni Kath ang pag-ring ng phone niya kaya agad siyang tumayo para kunin ito. When she read the name on the phone screen, she immediately answered it.

"Yes, I already told him about the plan. I think he's going to do it. He was reluctant at first, but I think I turned it around."
