CHAPTER 31

"When you're in love with a soul, everything including the body and thoughts become beautiful."

Now playing: Eyes on fire by Blue Foundation

Sommer

At dahil sa hindi ako makatulog kaya naisipan ko na lumabas na muna mula sa loob ng aking kuwarto, at pinili na tumambay na lamang dito sa may dalampasigan. Good thing dahil hindi maalon ngayon, kaya masarap tumambay kahit sandali at panoorin ang kalmadong tubig ng dagat.

"Hi honey! Is everything okay?" Agad na bungad sa akin ng aking ina mula sa kabilang linya. I don't know but because of Ms. Demers and Ivy, I thought of calling mommy.

Katulad ng mga ito, close din naman talaga kami ni mommy. Dahil sa kanila ng daddy, nagkaroon ako ng pamilya, ng ama at isang ina.

Hindi ko naramdaman na iba ako sa kanila, itinuring nila ako, inalagaan at binihisan na para narin nilang tunay na anak. Yes, I was just an adopted child. Iyon ang dahilan kaya kahit konti, wala kaming pagkakahawig ni Adriana bilang mag pinsan. Pero para sa akin, hindi lang pinsan ang turing ko sa kanya but also my soul sister.

I grew up with them as my parents. Mom and dad can't have children because there are complications in my mother's ovary. But they found me, so for them I was a blessing to come into their lives. And for me, I am contented with the life I have now, with the life they gave me. They gave me a future, a chance to enjoy the life. And if it weren't for them, I wouldn't be where I am now. Hindi ko na man mahanap o matagpuan na ang aking tunay na mga magulang, eh sapat na sa akin na ipinanganak ako sa mundong ito.

"Yes, mom. Everything's fine. I just uhm...miss you." Sabi ko rito bago napalunok. "Is daddy there with you? Please tell him I miss him too." Dagdag ko pa.

May ilang buwan na rin at halos mag iisang taon na rin pala na hindi kami nagkikita. I love them, so sometimes I can't help but worry for them because their whole life has been tied to their businesses.

"Aww, honey. We miss you too!" Sabi nito sa malungkot na boses. "Christmas is coming. We will be together again." Dagdag na sabi rin niya kaya kahit papaano eh medyo gumaan naman ang pakiramdam ko.

I felt like I was drawing a lot of energy when I heard my mother's voice.

Nag kwentuhan pa kami ng maraming bagay, tungkol sa mga business trip nila ni daddy, sa mga negosyo at marami pang iba. Hanggang sa naisipan ko ng sabihin sa kanya ang bagay na hinihintay kong malaman nila.

"Uhmmm..mom?" Medyo kinakabahan na wika ko.

"Yes, honey?" Her sweet voice reminds me of Ivy's angelic voice.

"I have something to tell you." Napahinto ako sandali. Alam kong hinihintay lamang din nito ang susunod na gusto kong sabihin. "There's a girl I can't afford to lose anymore. Her name is Ivy. When she speaks, only my ears are focused on her, when she smiles, I am just dumbfounded without realizing it, and her eyes! Gosh!" Hindi ko mapigilan ang mapa kagat sa aking labi habang ini-imagine ang magagandang mga mata nito.

"And those eyes of her, they are so hypnotizing as if they were twinkling fireflies. She was like a real angel descending from heaven." Dagdag ko pa. "When I am with her I feel my mood and my problems lighten up, I become a good person when she is by my side. Because of her, I learned to give and do everything for the person I love." Habang sinasabi ko iyon, hindi ko maiwasang isipin ang mga pinagdadaanan namin ngayon. Ang ilang buwan na lumipas na nalampasan namin na magkasama.

"And guess what mom?" Pagpapatuloy ko. "She's my girlfriend now and," Napabuga ako ng hangin sa ere. "I really want to marry her." Matagal itong hindi nakapag salita mula sa kabilang linya.

"Mom? Are you still there?"

"Sorry, hija." Tugon niya. "Can you tell me which family she came from? I mean, what her parents do for a living?" Dahil sa katanungan nito ay awtomatiking nabura ang ngiti sa aking labi. Sandali rin na natahimik ako.

"Ahh...n-nothing." Utal na pag sagot ko. "They don't have any business. S-She also did not come from a well-known or influential family. She is...just a simple and kind woman. A simple 'Probinsyana'." Bigay diin ko sa huling sinabi.

I know, one of the most important things for them is the woman from the well-known family. Iyon naman talaga ang gusto nila noon pa para sa akin.

"Does she make you happy?" Tanong nito. Naguguluhan naman na napa kunot ako ng aking noo.

"More than you can imagine." Proud naman na sagot ko sa aking ina.

"Do you really see your future with her?" Dagdag pa niya.

Wait, what are these questions for? I sighed.

"I can see that I am marrying her. I can imagine having a family with her." Buong puso na sagot kong muli.

"Do you feel butterflies in your stomach when you are with her?" Dagdag na tanong pa niya. Dahil doon ay hindi ko na napigilan pa ang mapatawa ng mahina habang napapa iling na lamang sa aking ina.

Ang kulit.

"Yes, always. Like fireworks exploding in the sky." Tugon kong muli bago napa kagat sa aking labi.

"Does she really love you or just your money?"

"Mom!" Mabilis na saway ko sa kanya. "How could you say that? Of course, she loves me! She loves me more than anything in this world."

"Then, you should marry her." Inaamin kong nagulat ako sa sinabi nito. Natigilan ako sa loob ng ilang segundo. Iyong puso ko, sobrang nagwawala sa tuwa.

"W-What did you say?"

"Do I have to repeat what I said?" Ganti na tanong rin nito sa akin at narinig ko pang natawa sa kabilang linya.

"I-I thought you would say no." Naguguluhan parin ako.

"Why? If she makes you happy and she loves you. And you said, she loves you more than anything in this world. Sommer, women like that are very rare these days, so don't let her go. And go f*cking marry her!" She seemed to be even more excited than I was.

"Mom..." Naluluha ang mga mata na wika ko.

"Oh, honey. We want a powerful and influential family, but it is more important to us where and what can make you happy." Napatawa ako at noon na tuluyang tumulo ang aking luha dahil sa saya.

"Thank you, mom." Buong puso na pagpapasalamat ko pa.

"Just update me, okay? We want to meet her very soon." Sabi niya sa nag mamadaling boses. "Gotta go, honey. We love you. Bye!" And then she hang up.

I couldn't help but smile at myself as I remembered my mother and I talking.

I never thought she would like Ivy immediately even if she didn't know her yet. And she even said I should marry her. Hayyyy. Napapa ngiti na lamang ako na parang siraulo habang naglalakad pabalik sa aking kuwarto.

Ngunit ang malawak na ngiti na meron sa aking labi ay mabilis na nabura at agad na napalitan ng matinding pagkagulat, noong makita at maabutan kong nasa loob pala ng aking kuwarto si Ivy. Mabilis na nagtama ang aming mga mata dahilan upang mapako ang aking mga paa sa aking kinatatayuan.

Tila ba ako ay nakakita ng isang multo, isang multo na napaka ganda na nakatayo ngayon sa aking harapan. Mabilis akong napalunok noong dahan-dahan na pinasadahan ko ng tingin ng kanyang kabuohan. Hindi ako kumukurap kahit na sandali at tanging nakapako lamang sa kanya ang aking mga mata.

She's completely naked. So damn hot and gorgeous! Wow! Para akong gutom na gutom na tigre na anumang oras ay pwede na siyang lapain at lantakan. Agad na nang init ang paligid at pati na rin ang aking katawan kahit na malakas naman ang aircon, pakiramdam ko pinagpapawisan na ako ng sobra.

"I-I-I uhmm..." Napalunok akong muli. I have seen and tasted all the parts of her body but why does she seem to have a different effect on me now? "W-What are you doing here? You shouldn't be here. W-Why are you...Ahem! Y-You're..." Hindi ako makapag salita ng tuwid.

Napalunok siya ng maraming beses. Nangungusap ang mga mata na tinitigan niya rin ako habang dahan-dahan itong humahakbang papalapit sa akin. Mas lalong bumilis pa ang pag tibok ng aking puso. Malapit na akong tuluyang mawala sa aking sarili kaya hangga't kaya kong kontrolin ito, ay gagawin ko.

"Gusto kong takasan natin kahit sandali ang ano mang problema na meron tayo, Sommer. Even just for tonight, let's pretend we have our own world. Na walang problema at masaya lamang tayong dalawa." Sabi niya habang napapalunok at sa akin lamang nakatitig ang mga mata.

Nakikita ko sa kanyang dibdib na kinakabahan siya. "Ivy, hindi mo naman kailangang--"

"G-Gusto kong ibigay at isukong muli sayo ang lahat ngayong gabi." Putol nito sa akin. "Kaya gawin mo ang lahat ng gusto mo. Hindi kita pipigilan." Dagdag pa niya at pagkatapos ay binigyan ako ng isang mabagal na pag ngiti.

Hindi ko naman mapigilan ang mapapikit at ang mapailing dahil sa pagka dismaya. Paano ba namang hindi eh, nasa mga private parts na ng kanyang katawan napupunta ang aking paningin. Damn it!

Napahinga ako ng malalim. Hindi dapat ganito. Hindi ko dapat hayaan na magpagamit din ako sa kahinaan ko. At kahit na nagbabaga pa si Ivy sa aking harapan ngayon, I should ignore her. Especially those perfect curves of her. Tama! Ganon nga ang dapat kong gawin.

Lakas loob at kagat labi na muling sinalubong ko ang kanyang mga mata. Fuck this! I can't resist her.

Kaya naman walang nagawa at mabilis na sinunggaban ko ito sa kanyang labi. Hindi na ako naghintay pa ng ilang sandali, noong agad na binuhat ko na siya upang ihiga sa aking kama.

I quickly undressed myself, while Ivy bit her lip watching me. I could see in her eyes that she was turning on as well. Especially when my two mountains exposed in her eyes and only my underwear was left on my body.

I playfully removed my undies and twisted them around my finger while also biting my lip before I tossed it away onto the floor. And then I immediately overcame her body and kissed her once again. Our kiss deepened and became even more frantic.

"You're so dead, lovey." Bulong ko habang pilyang pinaglalaruan ang kanyang labi.

"Please, be gentle with me, will you?" Pakiusap nito habang namumungay ang mga mata.

"Oh, I will." I replied back. She bit her lips as my hand went between her open thighs. She arched her body instinctively once I made contact with her lovely girl flesh.

Hindi ko rin mapigilan ang magpakawala ng mahinang pag ungol noong maramdaman ang bumabaha na nitong lagusan.

"You're so wet." I whispered again and found her soft spot causing her to let out a louder moans.

"Oh, Sommer..." Hindi ko mapigilan ang mapa ngiti sa aking sarili kapag ganitong ikinakanta niya ang pangalan ko.

"Yes?" Halatang nag eenjoy na wika ko pa. "Please, say my name again." Pakiusap ko rin.

"Hmm....S-Sommer..." She said my name again.

My hand kept molding and squeezing over her sweet paradise, causing Ivy's face and body even more hotter. I savored the excited wetness between her spread legs. Her hips slightly rolled once against me.

We continued what we were doing until she was on top of me so I could go crazy too.

Like what she said, we made our own world all night. We chose to forget our reality and prefer to have fun under each other's spell. We prefer to make love and feel the warmth of our bodies, and listen to our own music that can only be heard in the four corners of the room.
