"Ms. Velasco!" awat ng mga pulis habang pilit na inilalayo ang ginang kay Sheena Sison.
Today was the day that Rocco Sison had been acquitted on court. I came to watch the last hearing but I end up watching this drama unfold after the evidences of Sheena being the real culprit was presented.
Ms. Velasco was fuming mad. Galit na galit siyang nadamay pa ang anak sa gulo. He was already sexually molested at ginamit pa siyang panangga ng babaeng minahal niya.
Evidences shows that the crime was premeditated. Mula sa pang-hahalay ni Rocky sa anak-anakan hanggang sa pag-ako ni Rocco sa kasalanan.
All for money.
Rocky's last will was divided equally for Rocco and Sheena. And if it was proven that Rocco did killed his 'father' then all of those fortune would fall under Sheena's possession as the legal wife. And that was the main motive of the crime.
Lumipad ang tingin ko patungo sa tulalang pigura ni Rocco Sison. This is probably too much for him. He trusted her. Minahal niya si Sheena ng totoo. Malamang ay pinapatay na siya sa loob mula pa kanina ng ilabas na ang mga ebidensya laban sa babae.
That's what I hate about loving. Loving comes with pain and betrayal. Buong buhay ko iyon ang nakikita ko sa paligid ko. Ako mismo ay resulta ng pangangaliwa. But just like what everyone was saying, it's not real without the pain. Hindi mo mararamdamang nagmahal ka kung hindi ka nasaktan.
Naglakad ako papalapit kay Rocco habang abala ang lahat sa pag-awat sa dalawang babaeng parang manok kung mag-sabong, nakalimutan na atang nasa loob pa sila ng courtroom.
"Hey," bati ko sakanya pero tinignan lang ako nito.
"How are you holding up?"
"I don't know. I felt so stupid. I mean..." parang hirap na hirap niyang saad.
"How can she do that to me? I gave her everything, minahal ko naman siya ng buong buo. Saan ako nag-kulang?" huminga ako ng malalim bago umupo sa upuan na inuukupa kanina ni Brent.
"Our love would never be enough to make them stay, Rocco. Nasa kanila talaga yun kung mananatili sila. We can give our all, invest everything we have, but still that would not be enough kung hindi naman nila naappreaciate ang lahat ng iyon. That would be nothing, especially if they don't feel the same way," ani ko sakanya habang pinapanood namin ang nanay niya habang nginungud-ngod sa sahig si Sheena.
"Hindi ikaw ang nag-kulang, Rocco. Remember that. Siya ang hindi natutong makuntento," I told him. Tumayo na rin ako ng makita kong palapit na si Brent doon sa pwesto namin.
"Tapos na sila?" tanong ko ng tuluyan na siyang makalapit. Agad kong naramdaman ang pag-ikot ng mga braso niya sa bewang ko.
"Hmm," tango niya at binalingan ang kliyente.
"You can go now and see your mom. Congratulations," ani niya rito. Tipid namang tumango at nag-pasalamat si Rocco sakanya bago kami tinalikuran.
"My sched ka today?" malambing niyang tanong sakin ng tuluyan ng makalayo si Rocco.
"Wala. Free day ko, ikaw ba?"
"Wala rin. Uwi na tayo?" tanong niya na tinanguan ko.
"I'll cook. Just find a movie you wanted to watch," tumango naman ako at pumwesto na sa sala upang maghanap ng movie na papanoorin namin.
This is our usual dates. Dahil pagod kami palagi sa trabaho ay mas gusto namin ang magkulong dito buong araw at manuod ng movies while eating whatever food he was cooking.
Sa loob ng halos isang buwan ko dito kasama siya ay narealize kong masarap talaga siyang mag-luto. I tried cooking once pero napahiya lang ako kaya siya talaga ang nagluluto saming dalawa. Pag-nauuna naman akong umuwi, I make sure na may take outs na akong dala para naman hindi na niya kailangan pang mag-luto para saming dalawa.
"What are you thinking?" he asked as he sat beside me holding a plate full of random foods like fishballs, squidballs, kikiams and other picka foods. He also put two sets of toothpicks.
"Nothing," I answered as I put my head on his shoulder. He immediately put his arm around my shoulder so I can position myself properly. Kinuha ko ang isang toothpick at ginamit iyon para tumusok ng ilang fishball, sinubo ko iyon sa kanya bago ako muling tumusok para sa sarili ko.
"Anong movie papanoorin natin?" he asked, while I was still scanning through his netflix.
"Wala pa 'kong napili eh. Anong genre ba gusto mo?" tanong ko sakanya. Nginuya niya muna ang kikiam na sinubo ko bago siya nagsalita.
"Horror?" So I searched for a horror movie with good feedbacks and reviews.
"How 'bout this?"
"Carrie? Hindi mo pa napanood yan?" he asked.
"Napanood mo na?"
"Clips lang. Sige, yan na lang," I clicked on the movie and quietly sat there as we watched the movie.
"Hindi naman nakakatakot," nakanguso kong reklamo sa kanya na tinawanan niya lang bago ninakawan ng mabilis na halik ang labi ko.
Sarap!
"Kawawa kaya si Carrie!" reklamo ko pa at mas pinatulis pa ang nguso ko. Natatawa naman niyang ibinaba sa center table ang mangkok ng pagkain, clearly seeing through my antics.
"You just wanted my kiss, don't you?" nang-aasar niyang tanong.
"Bakit, ayaw mo?" Mataray kong tanong na sinundan ng isang tili ng bigla niya akong haklutin sa pagkaka-upo ko at inilipat ako sa mga hita niya.
"May sinabi ako?" nakangiti niyang tanong at hinalikan pa ang tungki ng ilong ko.
Hindi na ako nakasagot. Muli na naman akong nalunod sa malalalim niyang mga matang nakatingin rin sakin.
"I love you," sunod-sunod ang pag-kurap na ginawa ko ng marinig ko ang sinabi niya.
Did I heard it right?
"H-ha?"
"I love you. I love you," paulit-ulit niya iyong sinabi habang nakatingin sakin ng diretso. Agad kong naramdaman ang pag-iinit ng bawat sulok ng mata ko. At hindi rin nakalampas ang puso ko na sobrang bilis ng pagkabog.
"A-ano?" parang tanga kong tanong sa kanya. He smiled at me as he moved his face closer to mine.
"Mahal kita. Mahal kita, Rebekah." bulong niya bago ko naramdaman ang mga labi niya. This is different from all the kisses we shared, all of our past kisses were filled with roughness and agrressiveness. Pero iba ang halik niya ngayon, the kiss was sweet, slow and loving.
"Mahal kita, Rebekah. Mahal na mahal kita," he whispered between our kisses.
Naramdaman ko ang pag-tayo niya habang buhat-buhat ako. Nakapalibot ang mga binti ko sa magkabila niyang bewang, habang ang mga kamay ko naman ay nakapalibot sa kanyang leeg.
I heard the sound of a door opening then closing before I felt the bed behind me.
Hinihingal ako ng bahagya niyang ilayo ang mga labi namin sa isa't isa. He caressed my face softly as he stared at me so affectionately.
"Ang ganda ganda mo, babe." napangiti naman ako sa sinabi niya at nag-kusa ng humalik sa kanya.
I immediately felt his hand all over my body. His shirt that I was wearing flew on the floor, followed by his shirt. A moan escaped my mouth when his kisses fell on my neck.
"Brent," hinihingal kong tawag sakanya ng bumaba na sa puson ko ang mga labi niya. He straddles my feet around his shoulders and delved his mouth down there.
And damn! I'm losing it!
"Brent!" I moaned out loud as I was reaching my climax.
"Damn! Shit!" sunod sunod na mura ang namutawi sa mga labi ko habang inaabot ko ang napakasarap na pakiramdam na iyon. I was still gasping from the instense feeling I just experience ng muling dumagan sakin ang katawan niya.
"Knock, knock," mapaglaro niyang bulong bago ko naramdaman ang tuluyan niyang pag-pasok.
"Stop moving, babe. Let me," bulong niya bago marahang kinagat ang puno ng tenga ko. My nails started scratching on his back as he started dancing on his own rhythm.
"Rebekah," he kept on chanting my name and it sounded so intimate on my ears.
"Brent! Please!" pagmamaka-awa ko ng hindi na makayanan ang may kabagalan niyang pag-galaw. He started to move faster and penetrate deeper.
"Fuck! You're still so tight, babe."
"Brent! Brent! I'm coming! I'm coming!" I warned followed by a long and scandalous moan as it came bursting inside me, a few more thrusts, and I felt another wave of warm exploded inside me. It was him.
My back fell on the bed while I was left catching my breath, he stood up for a while and went inside the bathroom. Pag-labas niya ay may dala na siyang isang pack ng wet wipes, napangiti naman ako ng mag-umpisa siyang linisan ako.
After he was done cleaning up, he looked up and stared at me smiling. He kissed my forehead tenderly bago siya bumalik sa banyo. It didn't take him long before he went back and slid himself beside me as he pulled the gray comforter to cover both of our bodies.
Umusog ako palapit sakanya at sumiksik sa may tagiliran niya. He used one of his arms to pull me closer to his body. I smiled at that action.
"I love you too, babe." bulong ko sa kanya bago ako tuluyang nakatulog.
