Chapter 53 – Ang Pamamasyal

Nag daan ang mga araw...

Every week-end ay lumalabas silang buong pamilya, minsan ay namamasyal sila sa parke o sa mall.

Nagayong araw ay naisipan nilang pumunta sa mall. Masayang bumili si Charmaine ng mga damit sa isang mamahaling botique ng mga bata.

Habang namimili sila ng damit ni Charmaine, tinanong ni Kent si Ada.

"Gusto mo bang bumili ng para sayo?" Tanong ni Kent kay Ada.

"Ha, hindi na! Ang dami ko pa ngang damit dun sa bahay, na hindi ko pa naisusuot." Pagtanggi ni Ada.

Habang magkausap sila ay biglang nagring ang telepono ni Kent. Sinagot naman niya ito kaagad.

"Teka, sasagutin ko lang ito." Sabi ni Kent at naglakad na palayo kay Ada. Lumabas siya ng botique, habang kausap ang nasa telepono.

Habang hinahanap ni Ada ang damit ni Shasha.

"Ano ang gusto mo dito Shasha?" Tanong ni Ada sa kanyang anak.

Itinuro ni Shasha ang dress na kulay lila na damit.

"Ito Mommy!" Sambit ni Shasha habang naghuhubad ng isang tutu dress.

"Okay. Mabuti na lang, bagay sayo!" Masayang sabi ni Ada.

Hindi nagtagal ay muling lumapit sa kanila si Kent at tinapos ang pakikipag-usap sa telepono.

"Oh may napili ka na ba?" Tanong ni Kent.

"Oo meron na." Sabi ni Ada.

Dala ng sales lady ang kanilang napiling damit at pagkatapos ay pumunta si Kent sa counter upang magbayad.

Pagkatapos ay nagpasya silang kumain muna sa isang restawran. Pumasok sila doon at bumili ng makakain.

"Ano ang gusto ng aking baby?" Tanong ni Kent kay Charmaine.

"Gusto ko ng icecream!" Masayang sinabi ni Shasha sa kanyang Daddy.

"Ice cream, ngunit dapat ka munang kumain bago ka makakuha ng ice cream, ok?" Sabi ni Kent.

"Okay Dad!" Sabi ni Charmaine.

"Kumusta naman ang Mahal ko, ano ang gusto mo?" Tanong ni Kent kay Ada.

"Ah, beef steak na may mga veges at ice tea." Sagot ni Ada.

"Ah ok." Tapos tinawag ni Kent ang waiter at umorder na sila.

Habang naghihintay sila sa pagkain na kanilang inorder, hinawakan niya ang kamay ni Ada sa ibabaw ng mesa. Hinahaplos niya ito.

"Nasaan na ang singsing mo? Bakit hindi mo ito sinusuot?" Tanong ni Kent na napansin na wala siyang suot na singsing.

"Ah, anong singsing?" Tanong ni Ada.

"Yung singsing natin sa kasal, Engangement Ring, at yung Diamond Ring." Sabi ni Kent.

"Ah, yun pala! Hahanapin ko." Sabi ni Ada habang napakamot siya sa gilid ng kanyang ulo.

"Okay, sana mahanap mo." Sabi ni Kent.

"Oo, bukas hahanapin ko." Sabi ni Ada.

"Ok, sabihin mo agad sa akin kapag hindi mo ito nakita." Sabi ni Kent.

"Ok, sige." Sabi ni Ada.

Maya-maya pa ay dumating na ang kanilang pagkain. Masaya silang kumain at nag-usap.

Pinakain at sinubuan ni Ada si Charmaine at pagkatapos ay kumain ng kanin ay sinunod naman niyang kainin ang kanyang paboritong icecream. Sobrang saya niya habang kumakain.

Pagkatapos nilang kumain, pumunta na sila sa palaruan sa loob ng mall. Pinaglaro nila si Charmaine sa loob at hinintay nila siya sa labas ng palaruan.

Habang pinapanood nila si Charmaine na naglalaro, tinanong ni Kent si Ada.

"Kailan ang birthday ni Charmaine?" Tanong ni Kent.

"June 3, bakit?" Sabi ni Ada.

"Ok! Maghahanda ako ng birthday party para sa kanya!" Sabi ni Kent.

"Ah well. Magugustuhan ito ni Charmaine!" Sabi ni Ada habang nakangiti.

"Sa Pasko, ano ang mga plano mong gawin? Gusto mo bang pumunta tayo sa Disneyland? Para makapamasyal kayo ni Shasha!” Sabi ni Kent.

"Great Idea! Hindi pa nakakapunta dun si Shasha!" Sabi ni Ada habang nakangiti.

"Sige, punta tayo doon upang magcelebrate ng Christmas! Aayusin ko ang flight natin at aayosin ko ang schedule ko sa opisina." Masayang sabi ni Kent habang nakahawak sa balikat ni Ada.

Matapos maglaro ni Charmaine, bumili si Kent ng mga damit at sapatos para kay Ada. Nahihiya si Ada na pumili ng damit niya.

"Kent, marami pa akong bagong damit sa Cabinet na hindi ko pa nasusuot." Sabi ni Ada.

"Okay lang, Kunin mo ang ano man ang gusto mo." Sabi Kent at umupo siya ng kumportable chair habang inaalagaan si Chamaine habang natutulog ito.

Napilitan na lang si Ada na pumili ng ilang damit. Habang pinapanood ni Kent si Ada habang namimili. Pagkatapos ng pamimili sinukat niya ang mga ito.

Nang matapos ang pamimili ni Ada ay umuwi na sila. Gabi na ng makauwi sila sa bahay. Kumain muna sila ng hapunan at hinayaan ni Ada na makatulog ulit si Charmaine.

Dinala ni Ada si Charmaine sa kanyang kwarto at pinatulog.

Maya-maya nakatulog na siya. Napagpasyahan niyang pumunta sa kanyang silid at maligo upang makapagpahinga na siya.

Pagbukas niya ng pinto wala pa si Kent. Binuksan niya ang cabinet at kumuha ng isusuot na damit.

Tapos pumunta na siya sa banyo at naligo.

Matapos maligo ay nagsuklay siya ng buhok. Habang nagsusuklay siya ay pumasok sa kwarto si Kent.

Agad, pumasok siya sa banyo at naligo na rin.

Nang matapos siya, nakatakip lamang ng twalya sa bewang ang tanging suot ni Kent. Lumapit siya sa kanya, habang bino-blower niya ang buhok upang matuyo.

"Tutulungan na kita." Sinabi ni Kent at kinuha sa kanya ang blower at tumulong na matuyo ang kanyang buhok.

"Magbihis ka muna." Sinabi ni Ada, na bihira niyang makita si Kent na nakasuot ng twalya sa baywang.

"Hindi na kailangan." Maikling sabi ni Kent, habang nagsusuklay.

Maya-maya pa ay pinigilan ni Ada si Kent sa pagbo-blower.

"Ok na, tuyo na. Salamat!" Sabi ni Ada.

"Salamat lang?" Tanong ni Kent habang nakasimangot ito.

Napatingin si Ada kay Kent habang nakatayo sa likuran niya. Lumapit si Kent para halikan sa labi si Ada.

He gently kiss Ada on her forehead, her nose and her lips... Her lips was so soft and sweet.

She was looking up at him with such an inviting warmth that he wanted to kiss her again, but it would have come off as obsessive.

Kent paused and took her to their bed. Ada was surprised when he brought her.

He carefully laid her on the bed. As he lay over Ada's body and they are face to face to each other.

"Ang bigat mo naman!" Sabi ni Kent habang inaasar siya.

"Tse!" Sambit ni Ada habang inaasar niya si Kent at ngumiti.

"I love you so much!" Kent said quietly, and she smiled at him with a hundred words behind her diamond eyes.

Kent slowly lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. As his lips met her, and their world melted away.

His inner gravity was tugging at him, dragging him closer and closer to her, as if she was the sun in his orbit.

His heart begins to pound. He feeling a desire run from his heart, to his chest, and down toward his inner thighs.

His finger touched her neck, and the hair as it was moved away nearly gave her the chills. His hands went from the sides of her head and down to her neck, out to her shoulders and down to her hands.

He kisses her shoulder, and runs his lips on her skin towards her ear, but doesn't quite make it that far. After his deep breath out, he bites her ear gently. It doesnt hurt, it only makes she want more.

He stares into her eyes and smiles. His two hands grab her left hand and he places her open palm on his heart, and he holds it there. His eyes exude love, protection, security, safety, patience, and respect.

Ada devoured her mouth and found her as hungry for him as he was for her. Unreserved fire and passion met him, incredibly. His tongue plunged between her lips, tasted her, found her tongue twined around his.

His hands drove into all of that lush black hair, grabbed handfuls of it and crushed her mouth to his as her strong fingers slid into his hair to pull his mouth down against hers.

Her body seemed to melt against his.

Ada ached. It had been so long since she'd been touched. So long since she'd wanted to be. It felt as if she couldn't get close enough to him, that she strained against his body, against the press of his broad chest.

The muscles solid beneath, as she was pressing up in the bed and all of him pressed hard against her.

He pulled her against his hardness, pressed it into her hip. It had been so long, he craved, needed to be more faster and deeper...

And he was falling fast, craving her scent and the feel of her so close to him, unsure where he ended and she began. He had never been more grateful to have life until now.

He would have rather walked into hell again and again than lose this: her entrancing eyes, her captivating smile against his lips, her laugh when he did something stupid.

Her hair and how it fell over her shoulder when she looked at him, her raspy voice in the mornings, and her hands, those tiny hands, conforming and loosening to his calloused fingers in perfect rhythm with him.

She felt something indescribably "wonderful" or "at last she felt whole."

"Their two hearts beat as one".

And then he was inside her and started ramming her, as hard as he could and she screamed really loudly.

The night was so perfect, until they both came and fell asleep.
