PAHINA 27

***

"Mahal din kita, tanda."

Wh-What?  She loves me? Is she real? Is this a fucking dream? Am I dreaming? Well, better not wake up if it is.

I look at her, securing that I heard was right. She said she loves me, right? I felt my heart beating so fast that it'll burst anytime soon.

This feeling.

This happiness.

She nodded, biting her lip. Confirming that what she said is true.

It's real.

Fuck yes!

I can't help but grinned so wide that my mouth will ripped. Her words sare still echoing in my mind. Oh, lord...why did I get so lucky?

Is she saying that's she's mine now? She loves me? Blue loves me?

"Oh god, Blue. I'm fucking happy right now." I said running out of breath. What's more is I want to tear up in happiness right now.

I just found myself seeking for a kiss. I gave her a passionate kiss that she'll never forget. I wanna glue her lips into mine forever.

Oh, how much I love this girl. Siya lang ang unang babaeng nagpabaliw sa'kin ng ganito. I never thought na magiging seryoso ako sa isang relasyon. I don't know if I'll turn insane if we part away.

I admit, I'm a little obsess with her too.

I just found myself promising to never let her go. Hell will freeze before she'll be taken away from me.

Now, she's asleep soundly in my arm. Kanina pa ako nakangiti na parang baliw– or maybe I am crazy. This happiness feeling is not calming down. Gusto kong magsisigaw sa saya. How I wanna shout proudly how I love her.

I stared at her angelic face. Bakit ang ganda pa rin niya kahit natutulog? She  still looks like a goddess when she's sleeping. I'm a lucky bastard, huh? I guess I'm a good boy for God to gave me his angel.

I chuckled when she groaned a little when I kissed my baby's lips softly, still being careful not to wake her.

I chuckled as she frowned. I caress her cheeks lightly and kissed her again.

"I love you so much, baby. I'll never gonna let you go. You're all mine." I whispered against her lips.

Damn, bahala na kung magalit siya na nagising ko siya. I wanna make out with her right now. Damn this urge.

I kissed her again. And again, and again.

"Nooo, stop kissing me." she grunted.

Oh no, baby. Not gonna happen.

She open her eyes and frowned at me. Uh, oh... nagalit ko yata. Naglalambing lang naman ako. It's been a long time since I kissed those precious lips.

"I'm sorry, baby. Go back to sleep. I love you baby." I whisper.

I cupped her cheeks and kiss her lips again. Fuck it, I can't stop kissing her.

"Tanda naman eh, kainis." inirapan niya ako at tumalikod ng higa sa akin.

Nagpanic ako kaagad. Damn! What have I you done? Now, your baby's mad at you. Do something!

"I'm sorry, baby." I panicked. Yinakap ko siya ng mahigpit at sinubsob ang aking mukha sa leeg niya. I mumbled an apology repeatedly said against her neck. She didn't react.

I kissed her neck and sucked it softly. Ang bango naman. Nakakaadik ang bango niya. I can live here forever.

I heard her moaned softly at binulong ang pangalan ko na sinasaway ako. I held her closely. How soft and small her body is...I'm afraid I'll crush her if I squeezed her more. I wanna do her now.

I smiled and continued what I am doing.

"Bukas na. I'm tired."

I didn't listen and continue showering kisses to her flawless arms down to her hands. I heard her groaned and faced me. Agad akong pumaibabaw sa kanya with a wide grinned.

"I love you so much, baby." I whisper as I brushed my lips against her.

She smiled showing her dimples. "I love you too." she replied between our kisses.

Yes!

I kissed her good with full of passion. Pinalibot niya ang kamay niya sa leeg ko which turned me on as I started caressing her sexy tights. Inangat ko ang hita niya at pinalibot sa beywang ko as I started grinding against her center.

I gently bit her lips asking for an entrace. She opened her mouth and I quickly slid my tongue and roamed it inside her mouth.

Fucking hell, she taste so sweet.

She moaned loudly as I sucked her tongue as I continued grinding my hardness against her center.

"Holy fuck, baby, you're so good. I love you so much." I whipered huskily.

Damn, she's so hot, looking so red and adorably weak against my kiss and touch.

"I love you too–aahh." that moan gives me chill as I kissed and sucked her neck.

I slid my hand inside her shirt and lifted it slowly.

Just then I was about to take her shirt off when I saw her eyes are closed.

Nakatulog na ang baby ko.

I cursed with damnation.

Fuck this! Bitin.

"Baby, your Aunt's here. Are you ready to go home?"

Napatingin ako kay Ales at ngumiti. I nodded at lumapit sa kanya at yinakap siya sa bewang. Narinig ko ang pagbuntong hininga niya habang nakayakap sa'kin.

Ramdan ko ang paghalik niya ng matagal sa buhok ko. Para kaming hindi magkikita ng ilang decades sa sobrang higpit ng yakap namin sa isa't-isa.

"Hindi na ako makapaghintay na patirahin ka dito habang buhay. I wish I could marry you right now." he whispered gently.

Gusto kong mapahagikgik sa kilig. He's already seeing us getting married in the future? Napangiti ako at mas lalong hinigpitan ang yakap ko kay Ales.

Tinago ko ang namumula kong mukha sa dibdib niya. Parang may paro-parong nakapasok sa tyan ko at para kinukuryente ang buong katawan ko.

In short kinikilig nga ako.

In short malandi ka lang talaga, my inner thoughts said. I rolled my eyes.

But, atleast si Ales lang ang nilalandi ko.

"I love you, Ales." I murmured habang nakasubsob pa rin ang mukha ko sa dibdib niya. Golly, tinamaan ’ata ako ng hiya.

Mahina siyang natawa at hinalikan ang tuktok ng buhok ko.

"Music to my ears. I love you too, baby."

He kissed my lips.

"Come on let's go downstair." yaya niya at binitbit ang bag kong dala.

I nodded at him. Ngumiti siya at hinalikan ulit ako sa noo. Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko at sabay kaming lumabas ng kwarto niya.

I sigh quietly.

Agad kong natanaw si Auntie'ng nakaupo sa sofa pagkababa namin ni Ales. Agad siyang napalingon sa direksyon namin at mabilis na tumayo at nilapitan ako.

"Diyos ko, Blue. Okay ka lang ba ha? Asan masakit sa'yo? Pasensya ka na at hindi kita nabisita dito inasikaso ko kasi ang pagsampa ng kasi ang kaso ng Rextor na ’yun sa ginawa niya sayo." sunod-sunod niyang bigkas habang nakayakap sa'kin.

Natawa ako kay Auntie.

"Auntie, okay lang ako. Inalagaan naman po ako ng mabuti ni Ales eh." natatawa kong sabi kay Auntie.

Sandaling natahimik si Auntie at matigas na tumingin kay Ales.

"Salamat sa pag-alaga sa pamangkin ko, Ales. Tara na Blue. Uwi na tayo." mabilis niyang sabi at hinawakan ako sa pulso.

Agad akong nalungkot sa sinabi at naging trato ni Auntie kay Ales. Parang ayoko pang umuwi.

"Sandali, Auntie.." pagpigil ko at mabilis akong lumapit kay Ales. Hinawakan ko ang pisngi niya. Agad niyang nilapit ang mukha niya na parang inaabangan pa kanina at hinalikan ako sa labi.

"Blue!" napaigtad ako sa lakas ng sigaw ni Auntie.

Tumingin ako sa kanya at nakita ko ang galit niyang mukha habang nakatingin sa'min ni Ales.

"Anong ibig sabihin nito Blue?" she asked like she was being betrayed.

Kinabahan ako dahil parang may nagawa akong kasalanan sa kanya. She's really mad right now. Ang sama ng tingin niya kay Ales.

"A-Auntie..." I tried saying before she cut me off.

"Nagkabalikan ba kayo ng manglolokong 'yan? Hindi porket iniligtas ka niya eh babalikan mo na agad siya. Blue, hindi mo ba naalala ang ginawa niyang panloloko sayo? Gusto mo ba ulit masaktan niyan? Hali ka na!" galit niyang sigaw sa'kin.

Yinakap ni Ales sa beywang nang lapitan na ako ni Auntie para ilayo kay Ales. Mas lalong nairita si Auntie sa kanya.

Bumaling si Auntie kay Ales. "At ikaw! Simula ngayon layuan mo na ang pamangkin ko! Hindi ka nanararapat sa kanya! Manloloko." agad akong hinawakan ni Auntie sa pulso at hinatak pero bago pa man niya ako mahatak ay  biglang humawak si Ales sa kabila kong pulso at pinigilan ako.

"Aba't gago ka ah." malutong niya mura dito.

Nakita ko ang paglunok ni Ales.

"M-Ma'am..." he started.

"A-Alam kong naging gago ako. Alam kong nasaktan ko si B-Blue. Pero sana po b-bigyan niyo po ako ng chance to prove you that I deserve her. I love her. She loves me. And I can't let her go. Please., g-give me a second chance."

"Aba-"

"Please, I'm begging. I love Blue." pagputol na pakiusap ni Ales kay Auntie.

Sandaling katahimakn ang namuo sa'ming tatlo. I looked at Ales. Inangat niya ang ulo niya at tumingin ng derecho kay Auntie. Nagsimulang mamula ang ilalim ng mga mata ni Ales.

Oh!

He's about to cry? What? Why?

"Please., give me a chance po. I love her. I love her.." his voice cracked at that line.

And the next thing he did was unexpected.

Lumuhod siya kay Auntie. Humigpit ang hawak ko sa kamay niya. Nagsimula na ring mamuo ang luha sa mga mata ko.

Tumingin ako kay Auntie.

"A-Auntie, inexplain naman po niya k-kung bakit niya nagawa 'yun eh. P-Pinatawad ko na po siya. Mahal ko din po si A-Ales, Auntie." nangingig kong pakiusap.

Nagpakawala ng sarkastikong tawa si Auntie. She shook her head in disappointment.

Bumuntong siya hininga ng malalim.

"Blue, naman. Hindi ka ba nadala sa panloloko ng lalaking yan? Nasasaktan ako kapag nakakita kitang umiiyak. Hindi kita pinalaki para masaktan, Blue. Kaya halika na! Uuwi na tayo! Pabayaan mo siyang lumuhod at magmakaawa diyan!" madiing sabi ni Auntie at nilahad ang kamay sa'kin.

Umiling ako kay Auntie at mahigpit na hinawakan ang kamay ni Ales na nakaluhod pa rin.

"Auntie, please po. Parte naman po yun ng pagmamahal diba? Hindi ka naman po nagmamahal kung hindi ka nasasaktan. Lahat naman po tayo makakaranas na masaktan eh, parte naman po yun ng buhay eh."

My voice tremble between my voice. Oh god, I feel like crying while talking. Baka mas lalong magalit si Auntie na umiiyak ako para kay Ales.

I held Ales' hand so tight that it'll glue.

"Pinaliwanag naman po ni Ales ang lahat eh. Tanggap ko naman po siya. Mahal ko po si Ales, Auntie. Kaya please po..." sunod-sunod na tumulo na nga luha ko habang nakatingin kay Auntie.

Sandali siyang natahimik, lumambot ang ekspresyon niya. Huminga siya ng malalim at umiling-iling.

"Please po, Auntie." I begged.

Napahilot nalang siya ng sentido at pumikit ng mariin. "Hay, pag-ibig nga naman oh."
