NAGISING si Jake dahil sa tama ng papalubog na
araw sa mga mata. Lumulusot iyon sa "slats" ng blinds.
Ang una niyang ginawa ay ang yakapin si Willa. But she wasn't there.
Napabalikwas siya.
"Willa—" tawag niya at natigilan. Where was the flower-scented air? Where were the candles? The flowers? Where was she? Sa natutulirong isip ay hindi niya matiyak kung panaginip lamang ang lahat.
No. It was real! He was naked, and his whole body was still sore from their lovemaking. He could remember himself, begging for her to go faster. Begging her and calling her name—even screaming her name. He could remember her feeding him those mouth-watering chocolates, then kissing him deeply, teasingly. They practically ate those chocolates together. He could taste them in her mouth, and the taste was still in his mouth.
Bumangon siya. She was playing some tricks again. Napangiti siya. Mabilis siyang nagsuot ng pantalon at bumaba.
"Si Willa?"tanong niya kay Aling Viring.
Nakamulagat lang sa kanya ang katiwala. Hindi niya alam na nasa paligid pa ng kanyang bibig ang mga natuyong tsokolate.
"Where is she?" ulit niya sa tanong.
"Ha? Aba'y kanina pa umalis," ani Aling Viring.
Gayon na lamang ang panlulumo ni Jake. Mayamaya ay nahimasmasan siya. Of course, kasama iyon sa laro ni Willa. Sa Sabado ay tuloy pa rin ang kasal. At sa honeymoon ay mauulit uli ang nangyari.
Napangiti na siya. "Maybe she's really a witch," aniyang malakas.
