“I want you to marry me because we love each other. Because we want each other to grow drastically together. Not just because we already have a daughter.” he whispered as he kissed my lips tenderly.

“I will marry you . . .” I whispered back. “After all these problems I am facing.” I added.

“We will face it together, then.” Then he crouched to kiss my lips, now with passion and avidity in my lips.

I sighed with contentment as I kiss him back with the same ferocity. Every flicker of his lips I keep on moaning. Hanggang sa maramdaman ko ang paglapat ng kaniyang palad sa aking dibdib. Napaangat ang aking likod dahil sa init ng kaniyang palad doon.

I moan when he pinched my tip underneath my clothes. Nawawala na ako sa sarili hanggang sa mapansin ko na lang na nahubad na niya ang aking damit na suot. Ang suot na suit ay inihagis niya. Ang slacks na suot ay pilit niya ring binubuksan habang ang kamay ko ay abala sa pagtatanggal ng butones ng kaniyang suot na longsleeve.

And when I successfully unbutton his shirt, I immediately undress him. While his kisses went down again to the valley of my breast. I arched my body when he sucked my nipple and bit it seductively. Then he remove my slacks in hurry. I am now left with just my panty that I felt the coldness of our room, but still feeling the heat coming from him and his wet, seductive kisses.

Then his hand flew in between my legs that made me feel so much electricity in it. One touch and I almost convulse. I panted like I just ran a marathon. Then he caressed it making moan even more in so much pleasure. I sighed heavily.

“Please . . .” I begged. Halos hindi ko na makilala ang boses ko. It was too womanly and I know my voice is too far from that. Hindi ko na malaman kung saan ibabaling ang aking ulo habang dinadama ang marahan niyang haplos sa aking kaselanan.

“Hmm?” he hummed as if he didn’t hear what I said. Then his tongue flicked my taut mound then sucked it again.

Halos mapahiyaw ako sa ginawa niyang pagkagat ng biglaan doon. Then slowly, his finger slid inside my femininity that made my body went rigid as I felt his long finger filled it. I pant. Then his tongue grazed from my breast to my stomach. He kissed it and sucked my breathing from the electrified sensation it gave me.

His finger moved and I almost lost my mind. Hindi ko malaman kung bakit ganito, pero siguro dahil sa loob ng ilang taon na hindi ko naranasan ito, nananabik ang katawan ko. Sa kaniya. Sa haplos niya. Sa ginagawa niya.

It seems like his touch and kisses are my salvation. I’m thirsty. For him. He’s everything that I want. In this lifetime.

Napaliyad ako nang maramdaman ang paghalik niya sa aking kaselanan habang ang kaniyang daliri ay naglalabas-masok doon nang mabilis. Then I felt it. Namimilipit ako sa sarap nang maramdaman kong labasan ako.

Hindi pa man ako nakakahuma sa nararamdaman ay naramdaman ko naman ang kaniyang dila sa aking pagkababae. I moan as loud as I can when he sucked it.

“Fuck! Ohh!” hiyaw ko at mariing kumapit sa bedsheet. Hindi na inaalintana kung may makarinig man sa akin. Wala na akong pakialam dahil sa sarap na sensasyong hatid ni Callum sa akin.

He licked, lapped, and sucked my folds until I couldn’t take it anymore. I convulse for my release — for the second time around. Nawalan agad ako ng lakas dahil doon. Hingal na hingal ako habang nakapikit at dinadama pa rin ang orgasmong naramdaman.

Ilang segundo lang ay naramdaman ko ang mainit na dulo ng pagkalalaki niya. He’s rubbing it gently against my femininity that made me feel so hot again, wanting him to enter me fully.

“Uhmm . . .” impit kong ungol habang dinadama ang marahan niyang pagkiskis ng kaniyang pagkalalaki sa akin.

Dumapa siya, pero hindi niya ako tuluyang dinaganan habang ang kaniyang mga tuhod ay nakaluhod sa kama. He’s still rubbing the tip of his manhood against my entrance.

“Please, Callum, e-enter me now. Please . . .” I beg, moaning.

Then he dipped his head to kiss my lips aggressively. I responded with the same ferocity as my hand roam around his body. I felt his ironclad chest and caressed it softly. He groan as he guide his member slowly enter inside me.

“Ohh!” ungol ko nang bahagya niyang pakawalan ang aking bibig para halikan ang aking leeg.

He then, enter me fully. My finger dug on his shoulder. Palagay ko ay nag-iwan ng sugat ‘yon doon. Hindi niya inalintana ‘yon at nagpatuloy lamang sa paghalik sa akin.

“Move . . .” hingal kong utos sa kaniya.

“Slowly . . . or fast?” he asked seductively. “Gently . . . or rough?”

“Both! Both, please! Fuck!” I answered frustratedly.

He chuckled at my answer then slowly he moved. Para akong nabibitin sa ere habang dinadama ang mababagal at mararahan niyang pag-ulos sa loob ko. It frustrates me!

“Callum! Please!”

Pero hindi siya nakinig. He did it in his term. Na kahit anong sigaw ko, utos ko, hindi niya sinusunod. Gusto niyang siya ang masunod sa pagkakataong ito. He’s lording my senses, my body . . . everything.

“Please . . .” pero hindi niya pa rin ako sinunod at parang gusto lang na tuyain ako.

I hold onto his arm tightly, as my other hand is on his shoulder, gripping it with anticipation of his slow pacing. Umuklo siya para halikan ang aking labi at kagatin iyon nang bahagya.

“I love you. I love you. Always, baby.” he whispered then went fast.

Hindi ko na siya nasagot dahil kinain na ako ng sarap dahil sa pag-ulos niya nang mabilis. Mahigpit akong kumapit sa bedsheet habang pabilis nang pabilis ang kaniyang paglalabas-masok sa loob ko.

He became more fast, deep, and wild as he thrust inside me. I scream and didn’t mind if someone might hear me from the outside, or worse our daughter might wake up from my loud screams. Dumiin nang dumiin ang kapit ko sa kaniya at sa bedsheet. At nang maramdamang namumuo na iyon sa aking puson ay halos mapugto ang hininga ko sa sobrang sarap na nararamdaman.

I came real hard. I moan as I felt my hot release. Then seconds later, his hot semen filled my womb. Binigyan niya pa ako ng mararahan pero maririing ulos habang hinahalik-halikan ang aking dibdib at panga.

Hindi ko na nasundan ang sumunod na pangyayari dahil nakatulog na ako sa sobrang pagod. Sa maghapon at sa ginawa naming dalawa.

Nagising na lamang ako sa sikat ng araw at sa init ng katawan na nasa tabi ko. Nag-aadjust pa ang mata ko sa sinag ng araw na nagpapaliwanag sa buong kuwarto nang maramdaman ko ang marahan niyang haplos sa aking braso.

“Good morning,” he greeted in his bedroom voice.

I almost shiver at that voice.

“G-Good morning. Anong oras na?” marahan kong tanong.

“It’s 6:30am. Hindi pa naman gising ang anak natin kaya p’wede pa tayong manatili rito kahit kalahating oras pa.” Tumango ako at niyakap na lang siya.

“Everything feels . . . so surreal now for me.” I said out of nowhere.

“Hmm?” he probed.

“Alam mo kasi, hindi ko inaasahang mangyayari ito ngayon. Itong makasama ka namin ngayon ni Hestia, ang makatabi ka sa iisang kama, ang manatili ka sa amin. Pagkatapos ng nangyari apat na taon na ang nakararaan, alam kong . . . o inasahan kong hindi na kita makikita pa. O kung makita man, nandoon pa rin ang poot na nararamdaman mo sa pamilya ko. Sa itinuring kong pamilya. I thought you’re just gonna be harsh on me and think of ways how to grid of me—” I was cut off by his pointer finger on my lips.

“Hush, I was just a naive that time. I was driven . . . eaten by the dark and revenge, that’s why I did that.”

“Even so. Mahirap pa rin sa iyo ang lahat ng iyon. To be with me. Kaya pinilit ko talaga ang sarili ko na kalimutan ka at hindi ka ipakilala sa anak natin. Kasi akala ko rin na may asawa at anak ka na. After our  separation that day . . . tinatak ko na sa isipan ko na dapat na kitang kalimutan kasi hindi mo gugustuhing makasama ako sa buhay mo. But fate really has a plan for us.” I look up at him and smiled. “And I didn’t regret every inch of it. Giving a chance to you. Having your here with us. Is, I think, worth of a living.”

“I will be with you until I die, baby. I will never leave you again.” He kissed my forehead. Dinama ko iyon hanggang sa bigla ko na lang maramdaman ang tila malamig na bagay na nasa palasingsingan ko.

I look at it and got shocked when I saw . . . a ring on it! It was a diamond engagement ring! Nag-angat muli ako ng tingin kay Callum at naabutan ang mapupungay niyang mga matang nakatitig sa akin. Puro kalambutan at kalambingan ang mga nasa mata niya.

“A ring . . .” hindi ko na alam kung ano ang gusto kong sabihin sa kaniya ngayon.

“We will get married as soon as you got the justice you want for your parents.”

Napuno ng init ang aking puso dahil doon. Mahigpit ko siyang niyakap at hinalikan sa labi.

“Thank you,” I whispered softly at him.

Halos hindi ko na namalayan ang oras at araw nang maging abala kami sa pag-hehearing muli sa kaso ng mga magulang ko. Bawat tingin ko kay Tito Nathaniel de Guzman ay umiiwas ito ng tingin sa akin, guilty at nagsisisi sa lahat ng mga ginawa. I look merciless, though. Because it’s my real parent’s justice we’re talking about. I can’t just let it pass. Kung noon ay wala akong kakayahan na gawin ito, ngayon na meron na ay hindi ko na palalagpasin ang lahat.

“Alam kong galit ka sa akin,” si Tito Nathaniel nang magkaroon ng pagkakataong kausapin ako.

“Matagal mo nang alam ‘yan.” I said coldly.

“I am really sorry for everything, Hailey.” he said regretfully.

I didn’t even changed my expression.

“Like what I’ve said, your sorry can’t take my parents back in my arms.”

Bawat araw na lumilipas, kahit nandiyaan na ang ebidensya, pinapatagal pa rin ang proseso. Gusto kong bilisan iyon dahil . . . alam kong pagkatapos ng lahat ng ito, ikakasal na kami ni Callum.

I just really can’t wait to walk down the aisle, this time in public . . . with audiences and with medias. Hindi pa man nangyayari ay nakikinita ko na ang paglalakad sa gitna ng simbahan habang palapit kay Callum.

“Hailey?” Napabalik ako sa reyalidad nang marinig ang pangalan ko. And when I look up to see who it was, I saw Faith looking at me with those soft expression.

“Faith,” hindi ako tumayo at nanatili rin siyang nasa gilid ng lamesa ko.

I was just waiting for my order. Hindi ko kasama si Callum dahil nasa isang business meeting siya at wala naman ding hearing, galing din ako sa meeting kani-kanina lang kaya dumiretso na ako. Hindi ko lang inasahan na narito rin si Faith.

“Can I . . . sit here?” she asked carefully.

Tumango ako. Umupo siya nang marahan at ngayon ko lang nakita ang baby bump niya. Hindi pa gaanong malaki iyon pero halata na rin lalo pa at medyo fitted ang suot niyang dress.

“I’m sorry to bother you today. Pero gusto lang kitang makausap. Callum don’t want me to talk to you nor see you to clear things up.”

Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinabi niya.

“What is it?” I asked critically.

Umiwas siya ng tingin, “first, I want to apologize for ruining your relationship with Callum.” Hindi ako nagsalita sa sinabi niyang iyon. “I was really just jealous. Kasi mahal ko pa siya. Kahit na ako ang nang-iwan sa kaniya. That I was the one who cheated on him and replaced him. I have loved him. And Dustin. Yes, I loved them both. At siguro iyon ang isa sa mga malalaking pagkakamali ko. Ang pagsabayin silang dalawa noon dahil habang kaming dalawa ni Callum, patago rin kaming nagkikita noon ni Dustin. I regretted it. Kaya noong nalaman ko na ikinasal siya, hindi ko kinaya. I flew back to Philippines as soon as possible kahit pa may mga shoots akong naiwan doon. At nalaman kong . . . ikaw iyon, at kaibigan mo si Dustin, na may gusto rin sa ‘yo si Dustin. Hindi ko matanggap kaya naman binalak ko talagang sirain kayo ni Callum. Hanggang sa sinabi rin sa akin ni Calvin ang tungkol sa plano nila sa mga magulang mo. Na . . . hindi naman din talaga kayo kasal ni Callum. I took that as a chance to ruin you in his mind, ruin him in your mind, too.”

Nakita ko ang pagbagsak ng luha niya at pagngiti nang mapait.

“Pero lahat ng ginawa ko ay hindi nagustuhan ni Callum. He got at mad at me lalo pa nang malaman niyang ako ang dahilan kung bakit mo nalaman ang lahat. He almost . . . ruin my career and life, too. Dahil sa galit niya. Pero mabuti na lang at may awa pa rin siyang naramdaman para sa akin. Pero ang kapalit ay lalayo ako sa kaniya . . . sa iyo. Dahil ayaw na niya akong maalala pa. I am very sorry for everything I have done to you, Hailey. Sana . . . mapatawad mo ‘ko. Pangako nagbago na ako. Hindi ko na k-kayo guguluhin. Magkakaanak na ako. May asawa na ako. Kaya wala na akong plano na sirain kayo. Pangako ‘yan.”

I smiled at her, “it’s all in the past now, Faith. We’re both moving on from that and looking forward for a brighter future together. Kaya, pinapatawad na kita. Lahat naman tayo siguro may parte ng pagkakamali sa nangyari noon. We should be a better person now.”

After forgiving her, I felt my heart so light now. Siguro kaya hindi ko pa mapatawad si Tito Nathaniel ay dahil magkaiba sila ng ginawa sa akin. Tito Nathaniel and Tita Karmela did was just so horrible that I couldn’t let myself forgive them yet. Maybe in time. I can forgive them when times comes. That everything heals fully.

“Nathaniel de Guzman, guilty.”

Napapikit ako nang mariin kasabay ng pag-aanunsyo noon ay ang pagbagsak din ng luha ko. Napabuntong hininga ako at sinulyapan ang taong kumupkop sa akin ng ilang taon pero hindi ako nagawang tanggapin sa buhay nila nang lubusan. Nathaniel de Guzman found guilty of killing my parents at pinalabas lamang na aksidente ang lahat. He was looking at me regretfully, pleadingly, and with tears in his eyes.

Mapapatawad din kita . . . pero hindi pa siguro sa ngayon. Salamat sa mga taong kahit bilang lamang sa daliri ay nagpakaama ka sa akin. Kahit pilit. Maraming salamat. Dahil kahit paano ay hindi niyo ako hinayaang maging palaboy at mapariwara. Kahit wala kayong ibang ginawa kung ‘di ang manipulahin ang buhay ko. Maraming salamat.

“Daddy, Mommy, you looks so cute!” Our daughter said when she saw us hugging each other.

Callum bent down and talk to his daughter silently. “I will marry your mommy. I will marry her because I love her. We will never be apart again. Because I love you two. You two are precious to me.” he said before kissing her forehead.

I smiled at them.

This life is full of struggles and cries, we all get the triumph we always wanted. We already now looking forward for our future together. The comfort we used to have didn’t fade after years of being away. Bumabalik at bumabalik pa rin kami sa bisig ng isa’t isa. That he is someone I always want to spend my lifetime with.

And I think the second chance I have given to him is all worth it because now he already proved himself to me. That he’s worth the risk.

“I love you,” he whispered as he kissed me passionately. Promising to me and to himself that he will be more better husband and father to us.

I know he is.
