Turned to Dust

Forty Four

"Are you on pill?" He asked me after that long night of pleasuring ourselves.

"Yeah." Simpleng sagot ko at hinila ang kumot upang matabunan ang aking hubad na katawan, I also cover him.

"Uhmm." He gently pull me towards him. I felt it, how he hard he is...hindi parin humuhupa kahit katatapos lang namin gawin 'yun minutes ago. Nagkatinginan kaming dalawa at masuring titig ang pinapakawalan niya sa akin. "I want to have a daughter with you..." he whispered huskily. I can't help but bit my lips to hide my smile. "...but I guess I will enjoy our son first since I haven't been with him for a long time and I didn't want him to get jealous for the attention that our daughter will be getting." Kumunot ang noo ko at marahang hinaplos ang pisngi niya.

I remembered Argus said to me yesterday.

"Ikaw...talagang inuutusan mo ang anak mong kumbinsihin akong pakasalan ka kaagad?"

He bit his lips and chuckle. Hinimlay niya ang kanyang labi sa aking pisngi habang nakangiti.

"I want an assurance from you and since you're so hard to get. Sinusubukan kong kumbinsihin ang anak natin." I glared at him.

"You are seriously a pain in the ass. Paano kapag matutunan yan ng anak mo?" He smiled more.

"Well that's also included in my plan. For our son to learn on how to really pursue a girl that he wants." Nagtaas ako ng kilay at napailing na lang sa mga sinasabi niya.

Katahimikan ang namayani sa aming dalawa habang pareho naming dinarama ang haplos ng bawat isa. Our hearbeat are beating wildly, napangiti ako habang naririnig ko ang matinding kalabog ng kanya.

"You're heartbeats are violently beating..." wala sa sariling sabi ko.

"Matagal na 'yang nagwawala kapag nasa harap kita." Sagot niya. I smiled and kissed him. Nang bumitaw ako sa halik, halos idiin niya ulit ako sa kanya upang mas mahalikan pa but I resisted.

May gusto pa akong sabihin.

"After all our visitors go home. Lets go to Surigao. I want to visit my Lola's grave. Ipapakilala ko din kayo sa totoo kong magulang..." He looks amused at what I've said and he slowly nodded. He hug me so tight that I felt warmer in his arms. If this is what home is...then I always want to come with it.

Maaga kami nagising ni Augustus kinabukasan kahit na sobrang late na kami nakatulog kagabi. Una kong sinilip ang aking anak na mahimbing na natutulog sa kama ni El. El is still sleeping beside him. Naabutan ko kaagad ang pagiging abala ni Tita para sa darating na panauhin. Gusto kong tumulong pero hindi niya ako pinapayagan... mas maigi daw na samahan ko si Augustus sa labas at batiin ang mga relatives nito kaysa tulungan ko siya. I sighed when I realized that she really didnt want me to help her.

I'm wearing now a simple padded short and white v-neck short. Umupo ako sa tabi ni Augustus na tahimik na nakatanaw sa karagatan habang nagkakape.

"Argus?" tanong niya sa akin pagka-upo ko. Dahan-dahan niyang kinuha ang kamay ko at marahang hinawakan ito.

"He's still sleeping... masyadong napagod kahapon. He's overwhelmed to all your relatives." sagot ko at naalala kung gaano kasaya ang anak sa presensya ng pamilya ng Dad niya. Then I look at the sea in front of us, however on my peripheral vision I know that Gus is still looking at me intently.

Dahan-dahan kong kinuha sa kamay niya ang kapeng hawak niya at ininuman yun. Nagulat pa siya sa ginawa ko but after second he became amuse and stunned...hindi ko alam kung para saan, dahil ba sa ginawa ko o dahil sa nangyayare sa amin? I dont know!
