They said, when you love someone, you'll accept everything about her. Masama man yan o mabuti ay tanggap mo kasi mahal mo siya. Well, that's true because our love story is evidence of that. Bela accepted me for what I am. She accepted me and Zach with all her heart. At napaka-swerte ko sa kanya dahil don.
I smiled and stared at her while she slept. Last time, we talked about the things I wanted to tell her. Naging maayos naman kahit na iba ang inaasahan kong kalalabasan. I expect her to open herself to me but I guess expectations are really far from reality. Hindi pa handa si Bela at alam kong balang araw ay mabubuksan din niya ang buhay niya sa'kin. Kaya kahit matagal ay magaantay ako.
"Hmm..." Napatitig ako sa kanya nang tumihaya siya mula sa pagkakahiga. I gulped when I saw her hard nipples through the thin shirt she's wearing.
I sat from the bed and my morning wood is not helping. Tila biglang uminit ang kuwarto habang nakatitig ako kay Bela. My hand reached her thighs and I started caressing it. I pulled the comforter away from her body and positioned myself between her legs.
I traced her slit in her underwear and slowly rubbed it. Her legs moved as she felt my finger putting pressure in her between. Hindi na ko makatiis kaya naman hinila ko pababa ang panty na suot ni Bela. I made sure she will not wake up.
After removing her undies, I grinned and lay in my stomach and lean my head to her pussy. I pulled her leg to my shoulder and start licking her slit up and down. I heard her muffle a moan making me smile with my lips kissing her folds.
Bela moved her hips and it gave me more access to her wet mounds. I insert my middle finger inside her as my tongue lap and suck her clitoris. I groaned as I feel her insides throbbing in my finger. I curled it up and touched her spot and thrust it fast.
I heard her moan and my eyes turn to her but her eyes was still closed. I knelt in the bed and removed my boxers before I stroke my cock and rubbed it in her pussy to get some juices in my cock before I slowly slid it inside her. Bela gasped and opened her eyes.
"Good morning." I greeted as I slowly thrust.
"Zephyr! What are you doing?" She asked.
"Making love with you." I answered and lean my arms beside her to support my weight. I kissed her lips and start pounding her hard and fast. She squeaked and wrapped her arms around my neck.
"Fuck! Akala ko nananaginip lang ako. Did you eat my pussy?" She moaned and I nod. I removed my shirt and lean down to kiss her neck. I cupped her breast and caught her hard tip and twisted in with my finger.
"God, so tight!" I moaned and thrusted deeper. I knelt and rubbed her clitoris to make her come. She arched her back as I watch her palm both of her breast.
"I'm coming!" She grunt. I bit my lip as I feel myself getting near. All the days that passed without sex makes me come in an instant. I can't held it anymore.
"Bela!" I called her and loaded my orgasm inside her. I made a few thrust before pulling out.
"Good morning Mr. Montenegro." She greeted and kissed my jaw, "Mag-ayos ka na at may trabaho ka pa. I'll cook breakfast for us."
"Thanks." I answered and pulled her for a long kiss, "And I love you."
"I love you even more." She smiled. I stood up and enter the bathroom. Naligo ako agad at paglabas ko ay wala na si Bela. Agad naman akong nag-bihis at nilapitan ang anak kong natutulog pa. I kissed Zach's forehead before I head to the kitchen. Naabutan ko si Bela na nagaayos ng plato sa mesa.
"Ang bango ah." Saad ko sa fried rice na niluto niya at ang beef tapa na ulam, "I can live with this for the rest of my life."
"Mabubuhay ka ng beef tapa at fried rice lang pagkain mo?" Taas kilay niyang tanong kaya natawa ko at niyakap siya mula sa likod.
"Nah. What I meant is, I can live with you for the rest of my life. I can't wait to wake up everyday with a morning sex and breakfast with you."
"Ikaw talaga. Kailangan kasama ang sex ano?" She laughed, "I can't wait to live with you too, for the rest of my life. Ikaw, si Zach at mga magiging baby pa natin."
"Sundan na natin si Zach?" Tanong ko kaya kumalas siya sa yakap ko at humalik sa pisngi ko.
"Hindi pa sa ngayon. Now, you need to eat breakfast first. Baka ma-late ka sa trabaho mo." Aniya. Ngumiti lang ako at sinunod ang sinabi niya, "And Zephyr?"
"Yeah?" I turn my eyes to her.
"Puwede bang umuwi ka ng maaga ngayon? I-I need to tell you something." Sagot niya. Kumunot naman ang noo ko dahil mukhang di siya mapakali.
"Okay. Uuwi ako ng maaga." I answered and she quietly nod.

It's already afternoon when I decided to take a break from working. Kanina pa kasi ako nagbabasa ng mga business proposal at hindi ko na namalayan na alas-kwatro na pala ng hapon. I stretched my arm and massaged my neck. Sumasakit na kasi to.
Someone knocked on the door and my secretary went in. May dala itong brown envelope kaya nagtaka ako.
"What is that?" Tanong ko.
"May package po para sa'yo Sir." Aniya at inabot sa'kin ang envelope, "Wala pong pangalan kung kanino galing."
"Okay." I nodded. Nang makalabas to ay agad kong binuksan ang envelop. There was a piece of paper and a few photographs. Una kong kinuha ang papel at binasa.
'If you think she loves you, look at these pictures and thing again...'
That was what's written in the paper. Hindi ko naman naintindihan kung anong ibig sabihin nito. Si Bela ba ang tinutukoy nito? I placed the paper in the table and took the photographs inside the envelope. Kumunot ang noo ko nang makita ang unang picture na si Bela ito kasama si Zach. Kabababa lang niya ng kotse ko.
Sunod na picture ay nakaupo si Bela sa isang restaurant at nakahalik ito kay Zach. I smiled with it. Pero nawala ang ngiti ko nang sa susunod na picture ay may lalake nang kasama si Bela sa picture. Mabilis kong tinignan ang iba pang litrato.
There are pictures of Bela eating with the man. Pictures of them together in a mall. The man even carried Zach in his arms and the last picture made my blood boil in anger. There is Bela, kissing with the man named Magnus.
Pagalit kong hinampas sa mesa ang mga hawak kong litrato. Tila umakyat sa ulo ko ang dugo ko. All I can see is red and I wanted to shout in anger but I stayed calm. Fuck! Pictures can be deceiving right? Damn that Magnus!
I immediately went down to the parking lot and drive to the Elinzano International. Gigil na gigil ako habang lumalakad sa lobby. The guards stopped me but I pushed them away and entered the elevator. Pagdating sa thirtieth floor ay dire-diretso akong lumakad sa opisina ni Magnus.
"Sir, bawal kayo pumasok." Pigil sa'kin ng secretary, "Sir, bawal po talaga. Teka Sir—" I opened the door in Magnus' office and his cold eyes turned to me. May kasama itong isang lalake na agad lumabas nang makita ako, "Mr. Elinzano, I'm sorry but he pushed—"
"It's okay, Lizzie. You can leave." Magnus grinned at me, "Well, what brought you here Zephyr?"
"What the fuck is this Magnus?!" I shouted at him. Pinakita ko ang litrato nilang naghahalikan ni Bela, "Are you fucking hitting with my girl?!"
"I'm not." He answered coldly, "Because she was already mine before she came to you."
"Fucking bastard!" I was about to punch him but he raised his right hand to stop me.
"I told you, didn't I? Your happiness will not last, Zephyr." He said and grinned. I gritted my teeth in anger and clenched my fist tighter. Tila hindi ako makagalaw sa kinatatayuan ko. Pakiramdam ko ay nanliit ako. Gusto kong magalit pero mas magmumukha kong talunan.
"Bastard." I cursed under my breath before leaving. Pagpasok ko sa kotse ko ay mabilis akong nagmaneho pauwi sa penthouse. I coldly stared at Bela when I saw her.
"Zephyr! Ang aga mo—hey, are you okay?" Tanong nito. Hindi agad ako umimik. I want to hear her explanation. Heto ba ''yung sasabihin niya sa'kin? Kung oo ay makikinig ako.
"Ano ''yung sasabihin mo sa'kin?" Agad kong tanong. Natigilan naman siya saglit at umiwas ng tingin. I grit my teeth and calm myself, "Come on. I went home early just to hear it."
"I'm sorry I lied." She started. I quietly listened, "A year ago, I met you in a club. Nilakasan ko ang loob ko para ipakilala ang sarili ko sa'yo. I was deeply in love with you for years and that night I wanted to confess myself to you."
"W-We had sex that night. We we're both drunk and I can't even barely remember what happened but that was the best night—"
"I can't remember having sex with you Bela." I cut her off. Hindi to agad sumagot.
"I knew you'd answer that." She chuckled and wiped the tears in her eyes, "Yan din ang sinagot mo sa'kin nang pinuntahan kita sa opisina mo. You even laughed at me and asked me if I'm on drugs. I was hurt that I wanted to kill myself. But Magnus saved me."
I didn't answer when she mentioned that bastard's name. Aamin na ba siyang nakipaghalikan siya kay Magnus? 'Cause I'm fucking waiting for it.
"I lived under Magnus' care for nine months. He told me that I can take my revenge to you. Sa sobrang galit ko pumayag ako. Pumayag ako sa gusto niyang paibigin ka at saktan ka. Pumayag akong iwan ang sarili kong anak sa'yo para parusahan ka. Pero Zephyr, lahat ng plano na 'yun ay nakalimutan ko nang makita kita. The feelings I suppressed for months came rushing and I just wanted to stay beside you."
"W-What is that again?" I asked when I heard the sentence she said, "You left your child? You what, Bela?!"
"Z-Zephyr..." She sobbed and held onto my hand, "I-I'm Zach's mom. A-Ako ang nag-iwan kay Zach sa'yo. I'm sorry."
I stepped back when I heard her confession. Tila milyon-milyung bato ang tumama sa ulo ko at ilang libong kutsilyo ang sumaksak sa puso ko. This woman is the fucking mother of my son that I hated. The woman I love is Zach's mom. Bela left my son in my door just because she hate me?
"You lied to me." I managed to say after I processed what she said. The anger in my heart rose again and all I can see is danger, "You fucking lied to me Bela! Anong klaseng ina ka?! Nakaya mong iwan si Zach sa pinto ko dahil lang sa galit ka sa'kin?!"
"Zephyr—"
"Shut up! I don't want to hear your fucking excuses anymore!" I angrily shouted and throw the photographs I received. Her eyes widened and picked one of the pictures, "Masaya ba kayo ni Magnus, huh?! You fucking win! You made me love you! I'm even hurting right now! Masaya ka na ba ha?! I think you are. Masaya ka ngang kasama si Magnus dyan sa mga litrato na yan 'di ba? You even let my son see you with other man, Bela!"
"No, no! Let me explain this! Hindi ko ginusto na mahalikan ni Magnus! I was telling him that I don't want to go on with our plan—"
"Liar!" I spat at her. I took the nearest vase in my side and throw it to the wall. "Nandito lang ako sa tabi mo buong oras Bela. Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa'kin? Baka sakaling maintindihan ko pa." I shook my head and walked towards my bedroom. Zach was crying and I carried him in my arms.
"Zephyr! Mag-usap tayo—saan ka pupunta?! San mo dadalhin ang anak ko?!"
I stopped walking and faced Bela, "You're calling Zach your child?" I scoffed, "Mula nang iwan mo ang anak ko sa pinto ko, tinanggal mo na lahat ng karapatan mo bilang ina ni Zach. Don't you dare call my son your child Bela. Wala kang karapatan."
"Zephyr, please..." She stopped me as she sob loud. Hindi ko to pinansin at marahas na hinila ang kamay ko mula sa pagkakahawak niya. I walked fast towards the elevator and before she reached me the door closed. I hush Zach crying loudly and gently tapped his back.
My heart was breaking and the pain makes me numb. Tila wala kong maramadaman kundi galit at awa sa sarili ko. They made me stupid. She made me an idiot. Kung di ko pa natanggap ang mga litratong 'yun ay patuloy niya kong lolokohin.
And there I thought she was really the one. I even wanted to ask her for marriage. I even believed that she love me. Fuck. Sino bang niloko ko? Bakit ba minahal ko siya? I should've just treated her like a hoe she is. Ako tuloy ang nasasaktan ngayon.
