Chapter 16: Wonderful Night

Tuloy pa rin ang patak ng luha niya habang yakap siya ni Brielle.

“Hush! Enough of this sentimental moment. Masisira ang happiness nating dalawa nito kasi ang babaw ng luha mo. Hindi ko na babanggitin ang nakalipas natin para hindi kana iiyak,” alo ni Brielle sa kanya.

“Kasi pinapakanta mo pa ako, ayan tuloy!” tugon niya habang nakatingala sa gwapong mukha ni Brielle.

“Mamaya panoorin natin yung recorded video ko. Ang ganda mo nga kaso iniiyakan mo akong bigla. Hahaha! Sensitive ka masyado!” yakap pa rin siya ni Brielle at hinahaplos ang likod niya.

“Bukas anong gagawin natin? Bababa na ba tayo?” bigla niyang tanong.

“Gusto mo na ba bumalik sa Villa? Pwede naman mag-stay tayo ng another night here,” anito.

“Pwede naman dito nalang muna tayo as long as may makakain tayo. Ah teka, sabi mo titingin tayo ng mga souvenir items bukas. Mas maigi siguro bumaba na tayo bukas. Spending one night here is enough to experience the good ambiance,” nakangiting sagot niya kay Brielle.

“Okay, you’re the boss! Bukas puntahan natin ang main attraction ng buong Golden Phoenix. I want to buy a new gift for you!” he declared happily.

“Huwag na marami na akong gamit, sayang lang din kapag di ko napapakinabangan,” tutol niya.

“It’s okay. I know what I am going to buy for you tomorrow,” he said.

“It’s up to you. But hey, when we return to your house, can we first drop by my condo, I will take my personal belongings,” she asked.

“Oo naman, dadaan tayo sa condo mo para makuha mo ang ibang gamit mo doon, pero siguro dapat konti lang dalhin mong gamit, bibili nalang tayo ng bago,” He suggested.

“Huwag na tayong bumili ng bago, as I said I have plenty of personal belongings and it’s all branded,”

“I wanted to buy new stuff for you. As my wife, I should have to provide new things for you. Kahit ito na ang pinaka-gift ko sayo, huwag mo ng tanggihan!” he said.

“Sige na nga. Halika na pasok na tayo sa loob, gumagabi na!” sabay hila niya sa kamay ni Brielle.

“Matutulog na tayo? Hmm! I think mas maganda kapag mag-exercise muna tayong dalawa!” bulong nito sa tenga niya.

“Alam mo ikaw iyan lang lagi ang nasa isip mo,” ismid niya rito.

“Bakit, normal yun, nasa honeymoon tayo! Alangan naman tititigan ko lang ang asawa ko. Mukha naman akong engot niyan!” pang-aasar nito.

“Mamaya na ang ganyan, ikaw! Gusto kong manood ng movie may nakita akong cd doon sa ibaba ng tv rack!” suhestiyon niya ng makapasok na sila sa loob ng bahay.

“Okay you win! Manood muna tayo ng movie! I will prepare food for us!” anito at pinaupo siya sa sofa na nasa sala.

Tumuloy si Brielle sa maliit na kitchen at naghanda ng snacks for them. Nag-umpisa na si Ivana na isalang ang CD na napili niya mula sa naka display sa ibaba ng TV rack.

10 pm Singapore Time at Elite Digital Marketing and Financial Company.

Mabilis na bumaba ng kotse si Shantal Santillian ng dumating sila sa main entrance ng company nila.

“Andy, please pick up Yaya Santina at the airport. 11:30 ang arrival niya,” bilin niya sa driver nila. Anak ito ng isa sa mga tauhan nila sa Pilipinas.

“Sige po Ma'am Shantal. Babalikan ko pa ba kayo ulit rito?” tanong nito.

“No need na, sasabay na ako kay Sir Brent mo. Diretso na kayo sa mansyon pagkasundo mo kay Yaya Santina!” pahabol niya rito bago lumakad papasok ng main lobby.

Kaagad siyang binati ng dalawang guards ng makita siyang papasok.

“Good evening Madam!”

“Is my husband still here?” she asked.

“Yes Ma’am! Sir Brent is still in his office. You can go ahead now!” sabi ng isang guard at mabilis siyang iginiya papasok ng elevator.

15th floor is Brent office. Nang bumukas ang elevator mabilis siyang humakbang palabas at naglakad patungo sa office ni Brent. Nakita niyang bukas pa ang ilaw sa kabilang office na inuukupa ni Ryan. Tiyak niyang nandoon pa rin ito at inantay marahil ang asawa niya. She knocked on the door twice and she heard Brent inviting her to come in.

She pushed open the door and walked towards his table.

“Hubby, still busy huh?” she smiled at Brent.

“Love! Finally umuwi rin ang asawa ko. I didn’t expect you’ll visit me. Halika!” nakangiting sabi ni Brent at inantay ang paglapit ni Shantal.

“Hmph! Santillian kung di pa ako dumaan dito di mo siguro maisip na tumigil sa ginagawa mo!” maktol niya rito at biglang kumalong sa hita ni Brent.

“Muah! I miss you, love! How’s your trip?” Brent asks while kissing her lips.

“Nakakapagod pero sulit dahil natapos ko rin ang isang linggong fashion show sa London! And I have---”

“Mrs. Santillian, I think I will not agree with another fashion show, kasi halos buong linggo akong nangulila sayo. I feel jealous of Martin kasi siya ang kasama ng asawa ko!” he caress her back while slightly giving hot kisses on Shantal’s lips.

“Brent, dito gaganapin sa Singapore ang event kaya hindi na ako bibiyahe pa. Sige na, please?” she begged him.

“It depends on your performance tonight!” he smiled naughtily.

“Brent Santillian, I guarantee you I will serve you well. I miss my husband so much!” she smiled seductively.

“Ah, talaga lang huh! How about we will have another baby!” he suggested.

“Hoy, Brent Santillian ayoko ng mag-baby. I am too old to have another child,” she slightly teases him.

“Mas okay nga iyon, love! Malaki na si Denise, I think mas maganda may isa pa tayong baby,” he touched her breast.

“Ayoko, matanda na tayo para sa ganyan. We are already at fifties!”

“Bakit pwede pa naman, maganda at sexy pa ang wife ko!” Brent said while laughing.

“Brent Santillian, hindi na pwede, we can ask Brielle to have his children at tayo ang mag-alaga. Saka sabi mo nga malaki na ang bunso mo. And speaking of Denise, masyado mong ini-spoiled kaya laging umaalis iyon,” she said.

“Hayaan mo na, young generation nowadays really different from us! They have their own version of life moral and standard. Kiss mo nalang ako namimiss ko na ikaw!” Brent smiled at her.

“Muah! How about we have dinner together, di pa ako kumakain eh. Pero bago iyan, payagan mo na ako na gawin yung show namin, pwede?” pakiusap niya rito.

“May magagawa ba ako? May option ba ako to decline your request? Parati naman akong pumapayag sa mga gusto mo kahit noon pa. I love you Shantal Santillian, so I always bow down my head and surrender to all your wants in life, as long as masaya ka!” he kissed her lips.

“I love you too! Oh, bago ko makalimutan, malapit na ang birthday ni Brielle. It is next month, hubby, we must visit him!” she suggested.

“Of course, we will visit Brielle, in Beijing. Alam mo naman ang anak mong iyon laging busy!” tugon ni Brent.

“Manang mana sayo! Pareho kayong dalawa busy sa business! Hmph! Di mo na nga ako sinasamahan mag-shopping lately,” maktol niya.

“Bakit nagtatampo ang asawa ko? Nandyan si Denise, lagi mong kasama ang bunso natin, happy naman kayong dalawa, saka bonding nyong mag-ina iyon sisingit paba ako. Huwag ng magtampo kayo ang buhay ko parati!” Brent showered tiny kisses on her lips again.

“Hubby, I love you so much!” she kissed him deeper until they both gasped for air when their mouths parted. They still have another intimate kissed when the door opens and Ryan came in.

“Boss Brent---- oh! My goodness! What a sweet moment!” biglang sabi nito.

“Ryan, you came at the wrong time!” Brent sneered at his assistant.

“Sorry boss! Di ko alam andito pala ang ultimate sweetheart mo! Good evening Ma’am Shantal!” bati ni Ryan kay Shantal.

Mabilis na kumalas si Shantal mula kay Brent at tinanggal niya ang mga braso ni Brent sa beywang niya ngunit lalong humigpit ang pagkakayakap nito.

“Brent, tanggalin mo ang braso mo, nakakahiya kay Ryan. Ibaba mo muna ako!” bulong niya kay sa tenga ni Brent habang nakakalong siya rito.

“Okay lang yan, Ryan is immune with our lovey-dovey!” he whispered back.

“Ahem! Ah, Ma’am Shantal, okay lang po ako kahit hindi, pambihira kayong dalawa huh, nainggit akong bigla, parang gusto ko na tuloy lumipad pauwi ng bahay para yakapin din ang misis ko!” biro nito sa kanila.

Lumingon si Shantal kay Ryan habang kalong pa rin siya ni Brent.

“Sorry, Ryan! I --- I didn’t expect you came in!” she said.

“As I said, Ryan is immune with us! Muah!” nakangiting turan ni Brent. “Ryan, you can go home now! Iwanan mo nalang sa akin ang report na hiningi ko sayo!” sabi ni Brent.

“Sige boss, uuwi na rin ako kasi gabi na. Tuloy nyo lang make out nyo!” kumindat ito bago lumabas ng office ni Brent.

Namula bigla ang pisngi ni Shantal na marinig ang sinabi ni Ryan.

“Hubby, bakit di mo naman kasi ako binitawan, nakakahiya kay Ryan. He caught us in this intimate position!” her face turned red.

“It’s okay, we haven’t done anything yet. How about we make love here before we went out for dinner!” he smiled naughtily.

“Santillian! Sobra mo naba akong namiss at kailangan talaga dito sa office mo. Baka biglang bumalik si Ryan!” she blushed.

“Hush! I will lock the door! Let’s have our moment together because I miss you so much, love!” he kissed her wildly.

“Hmm! Hubby bukas pa ang pinto mo!” she pushed him.

He put her on his table and stood up quickly while kissing her lips deeply.

“I will close the door first!” he said and walked fast towards his door and locked it.

Mabilis na hakbang ang ginawa ni Brent pabalik sa kanya. When he stood in front of her, he picked her up while kissing her hard on her lips and went straight to the adjacent room in his office that serves as his resting room.

Binaba siya nito sa malaking kama na nasa loob and he opens the lampshade near the bed. The light was on. Brent's hands were busy exploring Shantal’s body. Shantal’s arms wrapped around his neck and she kissed him back. Still, the same passionate moment they always shared for the past years being husband and wife after the tragic love-hate relationship they had.

“Love, I miss you so much!” she whispered beneath Brent’s mouth.

“I know Mrs. Santillian, your body can’t deny the desire that you have right now!'' His voice becomes seductive and brings more sensation in Shantal’s body. Each touch of Brent’s warm hands into her body brings an unexplainable sensation down to her stomach and lower body. Brent slowly removes her dress and underwear and a matter of a few minutes she’s naked in front of him. Brent is now removing his dress while looking at his wife intimately. The desire showed in his eyes was strong. Shantal always looks forward every time they have intimate contact; she loved to see Brent's sexy body even in his prime age.

Brent lowered his head and started kissing Shantal’s lips after he had removed his dress.

“You miss me?” he asked while biting her lips lightly.

A sweet moan came out from Shantal’s lips. “Yes! And I want you now! Stop teasing me because I can’t hold it anymore!” she said in a welcoming voice.

She leaned over to kiss his lips again, her tongue slipping warmly over him. He didn’t even stir. She waved her hands through his hair and slowly giving him an invitation to kiss her more. He responded to the same passionate kissed and devoured her mouth. He slid down a little bit and began to softly suck and lick her exposed nipples into a little pointy peak.

“Hmmm! Brent! Love, I can’t hold it anymore!” she moaned.

“I want to taste you more love because I missed you so much!” he said and bent down toward her lower body.

She began to moan louder and the sound she made make him go crazy and his big hard member started to tease her wet core. He gradually entered inside her, adjusting his position and started to deep thrust. Shantal’s breath becomes heavier while calling Brent’s name.

“Love, love, move with me!” Brent whispered in her ear while making a fast-paced movement inside her.

“Ah! Ah! Brent! Brent! Love, I love you!” she moaned louder.

“Hmmm! Love you too, please move with me! C’mon! Make me feel complete before we reach our climax!” he said in a soft voice while thrusting deeper and deeper. He plunged inside her in a deeper motion until they both screamed in sensation once they feel totally satisfied.

Brent dropped his tired body on top of her. Trying to gasp for air after the intimate moment they have.

“Are you happy?” he asked.

“Of course, you always make me feel happy when we make love. I love you! Brent Santillian!” she kissed his lips.

“Bihis na tayo, nagugutom na ako!” bumangon na si Brent at hinila siya paupo sa kama.

Brent now started dressing after he had wiped his sweat with the clean towel near his bed. He handed another clean towel to Shantal and gathered her dress. He handed Shantal’s dress and let her dress up.

Hinintay niyang matapos itong makapagbihis at mag-ayos. Brent look at his wife with deep love and full admiration. Sa nakalipas na ilang taon naging maayos na ang pagsasama nila bilang mag-asawa. Wala na siyang mahihiling pa rito dahil buong puso siyang minahal ni Shantal at binigyan ng dalawang anak.

“Love, saan tayo kakain?” Shantal asked him na biglang pumutol sa pagmumuni-muni ni Brent.

“Ikaw, kahit saan mo gusto. Okay lang naman sa akin kahit anong food ang kainin natin!” he smiled at her and walked towards her then hugged his wife.

“Gusto ko ng Chinese spicy food. How about doon tayo mag-dinner sa Marina Bay Restaurant?” she suggested.

“Well, your wish is my command!” he said afterward.

“Teka, tatawagan ko muna si Denise! Baka hindi pa nag-dinner ang ang anak natin!” sabi nito.

“Imposible namang di pa kumain ang anak natin! Nasa bahay lang iyon tiyak pinaghahanda ng hapunan ng kasambahay natin. Tayo nalang ang mag-dinner, para dinner date na natin ito!”

“Santillian, i-che-check ko lang ang bunso mo kasi di ko na alam kong ano pinaggagawa noon!” she said while calling her daughter’s number.

Kibit balikat lang ang sinagot ni Brent sa sinabi ni Shantal. Hinintay niyang makausap nito si Denise.

“Babe, where are you?” Shantal asked when her daughter answered her call.

“Mom, I’m at home. Watching my favorite movie! Why?” Denise said at the other line.

“Did you have dinner?”

“Yeah. Kanina pang 7pm. Teka nasaan ka?” tanong nito.

“Nandito sa office ng Daddy mo sinundo ko siya. Kadarating ko lang an hour ago from London, dito na ako dumiretso!”

“Okay! Bat ka tumawag?” tanong nito.

“Gusto ko lang tanungin ka sana kung kumain ka na, kasi mag-di-dinner kami sa labas ng Daddy mo! Gusto mong sumunod?”

“Huwag na Mommy. Enjoy mo nalang dinner date nyo ni Dad! Bye!” paalam nito at mabilis na pinutol ang tawag niya.

“Denise!--” nawala na sa kabilang linya ang anak niya. “Love, alam mo yung bunso mo masyadong busy rin sa buhay niya!” baling niya kay Brent.

“Sabi ko naman sayo malalaki na ang mga anak natin hindi mo na dapat itinuturing na mga bata ang mga iyan. Love, may kanya-kanya na silang gustong gawin. Enough for treating them like little children because they’re old enough to make their own decision!”

“Santillian, ikaw lang naman ang laging maluwag sa kanila,”

“Hush! I love you and I love our children too! Let them make their own stuff! Halika na, alis na tayo dahil gabi na! I’m hungry!” sabay hila nito sa kanya palabas ng kwarto.

Mabilis nitong binitbit ang bag niya ng madaanan nila sa office table nito. Diretsong hinila siya pababa ng office. They went straight to the restaurant inside Marina Bay Hotel. Brent had ordered her favorite foods. Nakatingin lamang siya sa gwapong mukha ni Brent. Hindi pa rin ito nagbago at lalong naging caring ito sa kanya mula ng nanirahan na sila sa Singapore.
