DRAVEN'S FAMILY was very nice to her. Ang mga magulang nito ay para na ring anak kung ituring siya kahit ngayon pa lamang nagkita. Dwayne's Mother, Atasha was so friendly towards her too, she already know her because of Dwayne, she's the one who attend the meetings but, didn't have the chance to talk like a friend.
"So,Kailan kayo nagkakilala niyang si Draven?" Atasha asked and then, glanced at Draven's direction. On the Island table with his Father and Dylan, Drinking alcoholic drinks.
Biglang uminit ang pisngi niya ng bumalik sa alaala niya ang ginawang paglalambing ni Draven ng matapos silang mananghalian para payagan niya itong uminom. She did not restrained him from drinking alcoholic drinks but, he shouldn't get drunk.
Habang nagpupunas ng pinggan ay sinagot niya ito." I saw him first at Dwayne's Birthday party and then at D' Bar" Napangiwi siya ng may maalala." He even, punched the birthday celebrant, one of my colleagues brother."
Mahinang natawa si Atasha at pinunasan ang kamay ng matapos sa paghuhugas, ganoon rin siya.
After the dinner, Atasha and her insisted to wash the dishes to help. Wala rin naman siyang gagawin at nahihiya siyang pinagsisilbihan sa bahay ng Lalaking mahal
"He's jealous that's why, pareho lang naman sila niyang si Dylan, masyadong seloso pero, I bet, mas seloso yang Boyfriend mo." Ani Atasha.
Pareho silang naupo sa highchair.
"Draven isn't my Boyfriend." Nahihiyang aniya.
Atasha's eyes went big." What!? He look like he's so inlove with you, Ayah."
Napanguso siya." I know that Draven loves me, he already confessed his feelings. He also asked me before if we should get married but, we're still not inlove with each other, that time."
Mahina itong tumili na siyang ikinangiwi niya." So, you mean, you also love him?"
She nodded, shyly.
Napasinghap siya ng mahinang inalog ni Atasha ang magkabilang balikat niya at mahina ring tumili para siguro hindi sila marinig ng mga kalalakihan.
"Naku, Ayah! Dapat huwag kang papayag na walang label kasi masakit yan, wala kang karapatang magselos at pigilan siya sa mga bagay na hindi mo nais." Anito ng mahimasmasan.
" I want him to be mine, Atasha. Ayaw kong nakikita siyang may kasamang ibang babae at ginagawa ang mga nagawa narin namin pero, natatakot ako, I have this secret that I am afraid if he will still stay with me if he already know. Natatakot akong kapag nalaman niya, ay iiwan ako. Ang sabi ko noon, kung hindi man niya matanggap ay okay lang, baka hindi kami yung para sa isa't isa pero, hindi ko pala kayang mawalay sa kaniya. Parang magkadikit ang mga puso namin na kapag nagkahiwalay ay mapupunit." Malungkot na aniya, pinupunasan ang mga takas na luha.
Atasha hugged her and comfort her.
"Hush,Ayah. Mas mabuting sabihin mo kay Draven ang sekretong sinasabi mo para malaman ang sagot, Draven loves you so much, Ayah and I know that he will accept those flaws of yours. Trust him, okay? Tahan na, baka bigla yang magwala kapag nakita kang umiiyak."
Mahina siyang natawa sa huling sinabi nito. Atasha helped her dried her tears.
"I will tell him,later and I will confess too"
"That's good to hear. "
ALAIA IS BREATHING uneven because of, nervousness. Draven took a bath after she finished, she's fidget, para siyang maiiyak na ano, pero buo na ang loob niyang ipagtapat ang nararamdaman kay Draven at ang sekreto. She trust him that he will understand her.
Umupo siya sa kama matapos ang pabalik-balik na lakad dahil sa sobrang kaba, she's trying her best to calm down herself. Walang maidudulot na maganda kung papairalin niya ang kaba at ang takot.
Umupo siya ng tuwid at huminga ng malalim, her heart raced when she saw Draven coming out from the shower room, half naked and only the white cotton towel is covering his shaft that she love inside her, pumping in and out.
Mabilis na nag-init ang kaniyang pisngi sa inisip.
"Why are you still awake? I told you to rest, I know you're tired." Ani Draven.
Her heart felt warm.
"I will tell you something." Kinakabahang aniya.
Draven's eyes widened" You're pregnant?!"
She leered." No, I am not. Wear some clothes first, Dave. I am going to confess something."
"Alright, Morò. Don't get nervous, it's just Draven, the one who loves you so damn much, okay?"
Napanguso siya." That's why, I'm nervous!"
Draven chuckled after planting a peck on her lips and went inside the walk-in closet to wear his clothes.
After a minute, he went back, half naked again, only wearing a boxer short while wiping his hair using the towel that he used to cover his shaft.
" Seat." She command and he obliged.
Kinuha niya ang tuwalya rito at siya na mismo ang nagpunas ng kaniyang buhok. She's kneeling to reach his hair.
"I love you, Draven." Biglang sabi niya sa gitna ng katahimikan.
Si Draven na busy sa paghagod ng kamay nito sa tiyan ay natigilan. He looked up to see Alaia, nakaawang ang labi ni Draven habang nanlalaki ang mga mata pero, gwapo parin tignan. Kailan ba ito naging pangit sa paningin niya? He always look so handsome to her.
"W-What?"
"I love you." Ngayon ay mas nilakasan pa niya.
Bigla siyang napatili ng walang kahirap-hirap na hinawakan ni Draven ang magkabilang beywang niya at binuhat siya." Fuck! Fuck!" He keep on cussing while kissing her face. Mula nuo hanggang baba.
"Fuck,Morò! You don't know how happy I am!"
Mahigpit ang kapit sa kaniya ni Draven habang buhat buhat siya nito. He's chuckling lightly.
"Oh, Fuck! This is so gay!"
Inangat niya ang tingin para makita ang mukha ni Draven. Lumalaman ang ekspresyon niya ng makitang naglalaglagan ang mga luha sa mga mata nito. He don't look sad, he look so happy. He's eyes are twinking because of happiness and also because of his tears. Draven is smiling from ear to ear while also looking at her.
Inangat niya ang kamay at pinunasan ang mga luhang patuloy sa paglaglag sa makinis nitong mukha.
"Stop crying, Love." She said softly that made Draven groaned lowly.
"You're the death of me, Morò."
Mahina siyang natawa pero, nawala rin bigla ng may maalala.
"Put me down."
Nalilito man ay sinunod siya ni Draven. She inhaled.
"Listen to me, Love, okay?"
"Oh,Fuck!" He growled." Okay, Morò."
She smiled.
" I have this secret that I've been keeping from you."
Draven listen to her carefully. He seat beside her, above the bed and massage her exposed leg, lightly.
"I killed someone, Draven." Mahinang aniya, sapat para marinig nito. He didn't react nor flinched, he just keep on massaging her legs making calm down." I c-can still remember how he touched my left breast that n-night. I was so afraid... I was sleeping and I woke up, he's looking at me with lust while caressing my arms." She sobbed.
Draven stopped massaging her legs. She felt uneasy, she thought that he will leave but, he didn't. He just changed his position to wipe her tears. He looks furious but, he touch her as if, she's an expensive thing that he don't want to break.
" I was so scared that time. He keep on saying how he want to taste m-me... He has a gun, Draven, it's pointing on me, I keeping on sobbing while he molesting me, He was about to take off my clothes... I was just five that time, Dave. Too young to experience those things. Walang akong pakialam kung mamatay man ako, Draven." Sumisikip ang dibdib niya dahil sa patuloy na pag-iyak habang sinasabi ang mga iyon.
"Hush, baby. Don't continue if you're hurting." Malambing na anito pero, galit ang mga mata.
Umiling siya." Nakipaglaban ako sa kanya, he's laughing because, I look so dumb while punching him with not enough strength to even hurt him, physically. I did not stop, n-nahawakan ko yung vase ng hindi niya alam. Hinampas ko yun sa braso niya, It maybe not enough to kill him but it's the reason why he released the gun that his holding."She greeted her teeth." I pointed him the gun, Draven, sentro kung nasaan ang puso niya. I killed him. I didn't felt guitly when I did that, I was so happy that time that I killed Antonio."
Draven is combing her hair, it helps her to calm down.
She look at him to see his reaction. He look so proud of her but, he can also see in his eyes the anger. Para bang katulad niya, naniniwalang hindi pa iyon sapat sa lalaking nagtangkang gahasain siya.
"I will never leave you because, of that, Morò." He kissed her temple." He deserved it!" He greeted his teeth.
"I know."
"Hmm-mm." He kissed her lips and helped her to lay on the bed with him. He keep on combing her hair. Maingat niyang ipinikit ang mata ng makaramdam ng antok.
DRAVEN WARILY shifted Alaia's position, facing the left side while hugging the soft pillow. She look so peaceful while sleeping, para bang walang bakas ang pag-iyak nitong ginawa kanina ng magtapat ng sekreto.
He's mad of what Antonio did to her, gusto niyang pahirapan ito ng paulit-ulit, hindi sapat ang madaling pagkamatay nito.
His hands are shaking because of so much anger, kinuha niya ang cellphone sa ibabaw ng side table and Dialed his number, Alaia's Father.
"Sir."
"I already told you, don't call me Sir, right?" He sound, annoyed.
He did not smile, he's too furious to smile.
"Antonio. Do you know him?"
Tumahimik ang kabilang linya.
" He died already, Draven. I know that you already know who did it."
He greeted his teeth, marahas na sinuklay ang buhok." Who is he?"
" He's one of my guards, Heinrich. Antonio became one of my trusted guards, It's my fault, hindi ko man lang sinuri ng mabuti ang pagkakakilanlan niya." Bakas ang pagsisi sa boses nito." I was in Manila, in your parents funeral when, that tragedy happened, I leaved Alaia only with the guards and the maids, I did trust them to much that made my Daughter experience those things."
He paused for a moment and heaved a sigh.
" Alaia can't talk, Draven. My Daughter is too innocent and too fragile to experience those. Antonio is one of Domagoso's men, he want Antonio to get some information in my territory, but they can't get because all my works are legal."
"Domagoso." He murmured. Nagtatagis ang bagang para sa lalaking marami na ang atraso sa kaniya, sa kanila. He can't wait make him suffer." I will kill him!"
"Wag kang magpadalos-dalos, Draven. Matinik maglaro si Domagoso kaya mag-iingat ka. I'm with you in this battle, young man."
He smiled." We will make him suffer like he did to our family."
Sisiguraduhin niyang wala ng magtatakangka pa sa buhay nilang lahat kapag namatay na si Domagoso. Punong puno na ng galit ang puso niya dahil sa taong ito, uuntiin niya ang pasakit rito hanggang sa hihilingin na lamang niya ang mamatay, but of course, he will not do that to him. Draven will wait him to just kill himself.
Let that battle begin...
