EPILOGUE
ABALANG-ABALA SI Fashie ng araw na iyon. Their family and close friends are there to celebrate their daughter, Aashka Beatrice, 8th birthday. Aashka means blessing in Indian while Beatrice Latin meaning is she who brings happiness.
Aashka is a blessing from God, they treat her like a miracle dahil napakarami niyang hirap na pinagdaanan bago ito ipinanganak. Kaya naman nagdesisyon ang asawa niyang hindi na ito susundan kahit pa nga ay gusto niya pa. Mag-ampon nalang daw sila if she wanted another baby na pinag-iisipan niya rin.
But for now, they wanted to pay attention and focus on Aashka.
Fashie saw Aashka running towards her. Mahahaba ang biyas, matangkad, maganda at mestiza. That's how she describe her daughter. Marami na nga ang lumapit sa kaniya upang kuning modelo ang anak ngunit hindi nila desisyon iyon. It's Aashka's decision if she wanted to enter the world of Showbiz and Billboard, they're just behind her, supporting her.
“Stop running, baby.” Saway niya rito at pinunasan ang pawis sa noo ng anak gamit ang panyo niya.
She's grilling chicken and barbecue while her husband goes inside the house to get the cases of beer they bought yesterday. Balak yata ng mga itong maglasing.
“I saw my crush, Mamá!” Kinikilig na anito.
Umangat ang kilay niya dahil sa sinabi ni Aashka. Pasalamat nalang at wala rito ang asawa niya kung'di magbabangayan na naman ang mag-ama tungkol sa crush-crush na 'yan.
“And where is he?” Sakay niya sa anak.
Aashka pointed a little boy, wait, that's Khalix Santiago's son. “Him, Mamá! His name is Klane!”
Napailing-iling siya sa anak, sigurado naman na hindi pa nito alam ang pinagsasasabi.
“Tito Khalix's son?”
“Yes, Mamá. But, you ssh, huh? Papà will become a lion again if ever he learned about this.” Nakalabing anito.
Doon siya napatawa, kilalang-kilala nito ang ama. “Okay, you can trust Mamá. Now, go back there and play with your guests. But, don't run, okay? You might trip your knees and sweat.”
Aashka nodded and left her to go back to her playmates where Klane is there. At nakita niya ang anak na panay sulyap sa lalaki at nagpapa-cute.
A set of arms wrapped around her waist, she smiled knowing it was her sweet husband.
“You're busy too much.” Bulong nito.
“It's Aashka's birthday party, of course i'm busy.” Sagot niya rito.
“How about me?”
Fashie looked at Timothy above her shoulder, “what how about you?”
“Asikasuhin mo rin ako. Look at them, their wives are taking care of them, while you're busy here and disregarding the presence of your husband who misses you already.” He said while pouting his lips.
She flicked his forehead, “don't be dramatic. I'll be yours later tonight.”
“Is that a promise?” There's a hint of excitement in his voice. Talaga naman, anghilig.
“Yes, i promised.”
He kissed her neck, “okay, i hold on to that.”
Nginuso niya ang mga kaibigan nito na nasa table kasama ang bisita nila. It's just an intimate birthday party dahil ang mahalaga ay kasama nila ang mga importanteng mga tao sa buhay nila.
“Punta ka na ro'n, i'll follow you after i'm done with this.” Reluctantly, Timothy obeyed.
Tinapos niya ang pag-iihaw pagkatapos ay nakisalo na rin sa mga ito nang matapos siya.
They're just in a one table, umuwi na sila Mommy at Daddy pati na rin si Mommy Morri dahil hapon na rin. Kaya ang natira ay sila-sila nalang magkakaibigan.
Everyone is happy and laughing. They talk, shared advices and stories. Ngunit makalipas lang ang ilang oras, naging magulo na ang party.
“Play a music!” Sigaw ng lasing na si Jasper at nagpatugtog naman ng teach me how to dougie ang lasing din na si Matthew.
”Yeah! Yo! Teach me how to dougie, teach me house to dougie!” At nagsikantahan na ang mga baliw kasama na ang asawa niya.
Bene went to the center, “let's dance!” Tawag nito sa mga kaibigan. And because most of them were already drunk and tipsy, all men joined Bene and dance like no body is watching.
“Dang, this is embarassing.” Ani Katherine.
“I'm used to this. Iyang asawa ko kahit kaming dalawa lang sumasayaw.” Yunna snickered.
“I already expect this. Iba kapag sila magkakasama.” Ani Carisha.
While Fashie watch her husband dancing. Sa ilang taon nilang pagiging mag-asawa, normal na sa kaniya ang ganoong senaryo. Baliw na nga ang asawa niya, mas baliw pa ang mga kaibigan nito.
Nang lumalalim na ang gabi ay unti-unting nagsi-uwian ang kanilang mga bisita dahil inaantok na ang mga bata.
Fashie pulled up the dubet to cover Aashka's body. Sa sobrang pagod ng anak ay mabilis itong nakatulog pagkatapos maghugas ng katawan.
Bumulong ang asawa niya na nakalingkis sa kaniya mula sa likod. “Let's go back to our room. Your promised to me, sweetheart.” Mapanliyong bulong ng asawa. She could smell the alcohol he drank.
Bahagya niyang pinisil ang braso nito saka marahang hinila palabas sa kwarto ng anak nila.
“Angtanda mo na, anghilig mo parin.” Aniya.
Timothy gasped, as if offended. “I'm not old, sweetheart! You might forgot that i made you moan and cum multiple times last night.” Parang nangyayabang na sabi nito.
“Baka nga bibigay na ang tuhod mo— mm.” She was cutted by a lustful kiss from Timothy. Napatawa nalang siya sa isip, nabwesit na naman niya ang asawa.
Timothy actually don't look like old man. Mukha parin itong late twenties. His body built remain the same and his face just became more manly. There's even no changes when it comes in pleasuring her in bed! Galawang dating Timothy parin. Siya nalang lagi ang unang bumibigay eh.
“Stop teasing me, wife. Baka gusto mong gawin ko ulit sa'yo ang ginawa ko noong honeymoon natin?” There's a smug smirk on his lips.
Napatahimik si Fashie dahil sa sinabi nito. It's not that she doesn't want what he did but it was just too much! She's thankful to him that he made her experience it but she don't think she could ever handle to receive too much pleasure. As in too much! Umiiyak na siya habang nagmamakaawa ritong tigilan na siya ngunit hindi ito tumigil!
“Cat got your tongue, sweetheart?” Ang labi nito ay humahalik na sa leeg niya.
Fashie rolled her eyes, “i don't want to experience that ever again.”
He chuckled, “what if i want to do it again?”
“Tawagin mo si Aver.” It's their dog.
“Wife!” Sandamukal ang mukha nitong tinignan siya.
Napahalakhak si Fashie, “pag-iisipan ko.”
He snickered then carry her like a bridal style. “Let's celebrate the birthday of our daughter in our room.”
“PAPÁ, NO!” Aashka yelled at her father with crossed arms.
“Don't yell at me, Aashka Beatrice.” Seryosong sabi ni Timothy sa anak.
“I don't yell at you naman po, Papà. I'm just raising my voice to add for the authority in it 'cause i said no.” Aashka's lips pouted and looked at him with puppy eyes. Here are we again.
Timothy massaged his temple, “okay fine. But you need to—”
“No, Papà!”
“Don't cut me when i'm talking, Aashka Beatrice Marquez Degustare.” Sinabi na niya ang buong pangalan nito. She already know what that means, she's getting out of the limit again.
They maybe spoiled her too much that Aashka ended up being a brat. But who to blame? Aashka is their one and only child so their attention and focus is only to her. They could give everything to theur daughter.
Nanlalambing itong yumakap sa baywang niya saka tumingala. “Sorry, Papà ko po. I love you.” And he melted.
Bumuga siya ng hangin. Kapag talaga nilambing na siya ng anak ay hindi na niya kayang magalit pa. Timothy carry Aashka— she's tall but he's taller so he can still carry her— and was about to speak when she covered his mouth.
“No speaking, Papà. I said no po, you cannot change my mind. Now, i want lobster. Cook for me, Papà. Pleasee.” Her eyes blinks with a cute expression.
Nakita nalang ni Timothy ang sarili na nasa kusina at nagluluto ng lobster habang ang anak niya ay nasa ibabaw ng table. Ayaw niya sa amoy na'yon ngunit paborito iyon ng asawa at anak niya kaya kinakaya niya.
He shooked his head, kung tiklop siya sa asawa, mas tiklop siya sa anak n Timothy wished to have a mini-version of Fashie, pero nasobrahan itong ibinigay sa kanila. Fashie is sometimes a brat but not all the time like their daughter.
Timothy doesn't know if it's a good thing or bad that whenever Aashka said something, there's no chance that she would take it back. May paninindigan at laging may dahilan sa lahat ng bagay, 'yon ang kitang-kita na katangian ng anak. Pag-abogado-hin niya kaya ang anak?
They are just two in the house today. His wife went to the mall with her girl friends and of course, they can't come with her. Kaya siya itong buong araw nag-alaga sa napakakulit niyang anak. Not actually makulit, anghirap lang kausapin. He might have some white hair now.
“Mamá!” Aashka shrieked.
Agad na lumingon ang ulo niya sa pintuan kung saan lumabas ang asawa niya. Fashie is holding paper bags in her hands.
“Hey, baby. I missed you.” Fashie kissed Aashka's lips.
“Aashka missed you more, Mamá.” Aashka response.
Nagtungo sa kaniya ang asawa at humalik sa mga labi. There's a cute smile on her lips, gorgeous.
“Hey, wife. How's the shopping with your friends?” Tanong niya rito.
“It's good. How about you here? Kumusta ang pag-aalaga kay Aashka?
“Don't ask, sweetheart.”
Natawa nalang ito sa sagot niya. “I could smell seafoods. Nagpaluto sa'yo?” Anito.
Timothy nodded, “she's craving for it. Buti nalang mayro'n pang stock kung'di magrereklamo na naman 'yan.” He said then followed but chuckles from him and from his wife.
“Ewan ko ba kung kanino nagmana ang anak natin. Sa'yo yata, angsungit mo noon eh.”
He looked at her offended, “wife, you're the brat here. Remember the first time you sleep in my condo? You insisted.”
Umikot ang mga mata nito, “kinakalimutan na ang mga gano'ng bagay.”
Timothy laughs, “is my wife now annoyed?”
“Do you have pasalubong for me po, Mamá?” Rinig nilang sabi ng anak. Hindi siya nito pinansin at bumalik kay Aashka.
“Yes, i bought you clothes i've seen in your Tita's boutique. You wanna try it out?”
Aashka become excited, “yes, Mamá! Where po ?”
Inilabas ng asawa niya ang mga damit sa isang malaking paper bag. Aashka grab it and ask for her Mamá to put her down. Nang maibaba ito ni Fashie ay nagmamadaling tumakbo palabas upang siguro ay sukatin ang mga damit na binili ng Mamá nito.
“Do i need to renovate her room now for a walk in a closet? You bought another set of clothes again.” Aniya sa asawa.
Nangalumbaba ito sa lamesa at bahagyang naka-pout ang mga labi. Cute. “I guess so?” She chuckles. “Feeling ko may future siya sa modelling. What do you think?”
“Whatever our daughter wants, i'll support her.” Aniya saka pinatay na ang stove dahil luto na ang lobster ng anak.
“She's still a kid though, Aashka is wandering what field she would choose someday.”
“I agree on that.” Timothy agreed with his wife.
“Mamá! Papà! Look!” They heard Aashka's voice from outside. Nang makarating ito sa kusina ay ibinida nito ang coordinate clothes nito. It's a tube top and skirt.
Sumama ang mukha niya, “what's that clothes? Take that off, baby. I don't like that one.”
“You looked pretty, my baby. Go on, try the other one.” Udyok ng asawa niya kay Aashka.
“Yes, Mamá!” At tumakbo ulit ito palabas upang isukat ang iba pang damit.
Timothy looked at his wife with crossed arms, “why did you buy such a reavealing clothes? Aashka is just 10, sweetheart!” He exclaimed!
“Ganiyan na kaya sinusuot ko no'ng kaedaran ko si Aashka. It's cute and feminine. Saka ayaw niya rin ng balot na balot, kilala mo naman 'yang anak mo.” Sagot nito sa kaniya.
Fashie used to wear short skirts, short tops and fitted dresses and Aashka likes it. Damn. Matagal na siyang tapos sa era ng pagsasaway rito sa damit nitong maiigsi ngunit ngayon mukhang sa anak naman niya. Nagmana talaga si Aashka sa asawa niya.
Bumalik muli ang anak nila sa kusina at mas lalong uminit ang ulo niya sa suot-suot nito.
“Baby, Papà don't like that. Give me that, i will donate that dress to the orphanage.” Pakiusap niya sa anak. It's a fitted dress that length half the thighs!
“Mamá po o, si Papà.” Sumbong nito kay Fashie.
Fashie glared at him, “stop it, Timothy. O sa sofà ka matutulog mamaya?” She raise a brow at him.
Tumahimik nalang siya. He couldn't survive a night without his wife! At ayon ang nangyari, habang ang dalawa ay masayang-masaya na nagsukat ng damit, siya naman ay pinapanuod ang mga ito at minsan ay kukunot ang noo dahil hindi na naman nagustuhan ang sinuot ng anak.
Sumulyap sa kaniya ang asawa, she smiled at him. And all the annoyance he was feeling vanished. Damn.
“Hayaan mo na kami, please.” Fashie puppy eyes and Timothy saw Aashka at her. Napailing-iling siya, mag-ina nga. Nang hindi siya magsalita ay naglakad ito palapit sa kaniya saka ipinatong ang mga braso sa balikat niya.
“I bought lingerie, do you want me to try it later?” There's a seductive smile on her lips.
His brow raise, “ah-huh, you're seducing me again.”
“Well,” her face come closer and her lips touches the skin of his neck. His shaft hardened. Fuck. After all these years, Fashie could still make him erect and crave for her body. “Slight lang.” She chuckle and her breath made him goosebumps.
Humaplos ang palad niya sa maliit na beywang ng asawa, “be responsible for making me hard, mrs. Degustare.”
“Oh, i will.” Humalik ito sa mga labi niya. “I love you, hubby.”
“I love you more,” he replied and attacked her for a hunger kiss.
“Wahh! Get a room parents!”
