Chapter 50: Another Rejection And One Last Night With Him

Malalakas na paghilik ang gumising kay Magnolia. Hayun siya at nakasiksik sa hubad na katawan ni Carlo sa couch. Pagtingin niya sa orasan ay madaling-araw pa lang. Isinuot muna niya ang roba bago sinilip ang kambal na bahagya nang umiiyak. Umupo na siya sa kama habang karga si Calix. “Darn,” aniya. Medyo masakit ang dibdib niyang pinagsawaan ng ama nito.

“I’m sorry, baby, Daddy couldn’t help it. Your mom has the most beautiful breast I’ve ever seen.” Nagulat pa siya nang nasa tabi na niya si Carlo na mukhang naalimpungatan din.

Tinampal niya ito! “Puro ka kalokohan.”

“I’m telling her the truth, boy,” anito na parang maiintindihan ito ng sanggol na abala sa pagsipsip ng gatas. “She also had the most delicious breasts I’ve ever nibbled and sucked.”

Tiningnan niya ito nang matalim pero nanatili lang itong nakangiti ng pilyo. Napasimangot siya nang mapatingin sa boxer shorts na mukha na namang tent. “Ano na naman iyan! Gusto mo na namang manundot? Ayoko na ha!”

“Ito naman. What can I do? My Big Bob loves you.”

“Iyan, iyan, sex, sex, sex, diyan ka naman magaling eh! The most beautiful breast, the sweetest nipple! Ibig-sabihin marami ka nang nakita at natikman! Are you even clean?”

“Baby naman eh,” nahihiyang sabi nito. “Matagal na iyon eh. Simula nang may mangyari sa atin malapit sa batis, wala nang iba pa. Sino pang gusto mong testigo? Tatawagan ko pa sina Rose at Joseph para malaman mo.

Hindi niya na lang muna pinansin ito. Kinuha na nito si Calix nang mabusog ito. Pagkalapag nito sa crib ay si Catleya naman ang dinala nito sa kanya. Habang karga niya ito ay pinagmasdan niya itong inaayos ang mga crib. “I knew you’d be a good father.”

“Talaga?”

“Oo. The way you carried your cousin’s baby, I knew your children would be well-loved.”

“I could be a good husband to you. You belong to me.”

“Please don’t say that!” Napalakas ang pagsasabi niya umingit ang kambal na tumahimik din naman. Hindi na rin ito kumibo. Nagkibit-balikat lang ito at hinayaan siya. Nang matapos si Catleya ay mabilis nitong kinarga ang baby at inilagay sa kuna. Siya naman ay ibinubuhol na ang roba nang muling kalasin iyon ni Carlo at ilapit ang mga labi sa dibdib niya. “Holy guacamole,” impit na tili niya habang nararamdaman ang mga labi, dila, at daliri na nagsasalitan dito. Umingit na naman ang mga bata dahil medyo maingay sila.

“Mga istorbo kayo,” natatawang sabi ni Carlo at binuhat siya papunta sa kabilang kuwarto. Siya naman ay abala sa pagpapalalim ng halik dito habang nakayakap sa batok nito. Natataranta pa siya nitong inihiga sa kama bago inalis ang suot nitong boxers.

“Saan kaya siya nakaturo?” Pilya pa siyang natawa nang mahantad ang gising na namang si Big Bob nito. May tinitingnan ba si Big Bob, aniya at tumingala pa. He chuckled in embarrassment. “Ngayon ka pa nahiya ahh?” She pulled him to the bed. He followed her like a kid following her teacher. She stayed on top, but a wild thought suddenly appeared. She placed his hands on the headboard and did it. He was so busy tasting her exposed flesh that he didn’t notice his hands were already tied up using the blanket.

“Baby.” his eyes were filled with intense desire. “Come here.”

Umiling-iling lang siya habang nakangisi ng pilya. Muli lang itong umungol ng protesta. She did everything she wanted to do. He was at her mercy knowing he could not free his hands. “Say the magic word.”

“Please.”

She just smirked and rolled her eyes. “I’m in charge now.” Her lips traveled down and tasted all of him. He couldn’t do anything except from groaning aloud in sheer delight. “Do you like it?”

“Very much.” She stopped again and stared at him for a while. “Magnolia, baby, you’re killing me here. Please do it.”

“Nah.”

“Please, baby. You make me crazy now. Look, I’m helpless, please do it. I’m your slave. You got me wrapped around your finger.”

“Much better,” she said, which made him roar in laughter. She did it again until her lips and tongue reached his proud length. She played with it until he asked her to stop. In one swift motion, she positioned herself on top and undulated her hips. She danced gracefully and looked him in the eye. His eyes were full of passion as he stared at her moving up and down and sideways until they were both spent.

Tawa lang ito nang tawa habang inaalis niya ang pagkakatali ng mga kamay nito. “Parang gusto kong matakot. Akala ko magagaya ako sa pinatay ni Sharon Stone sa Basic Instinct.”

“Naku puro ka na naman erotic ideas ha. Tigilan mo na nga iyan.”

“Ako lang ba? I never thought you would do things like that.”

“You liked it, didn’t you?”

“No. I loved it. Isip ka pa ng ibang stunts.”

Tawanan lang sila nang tawanan hanggang sa maubusan sila ng sasabihing kalokohan. Dama niya ang effort nitong iwasan ang paksa ng pagpapakasal nila. Ayaw din nitong tanggapin ang pagtanggi niya. “Carlo,” nag-alangan pa muna siya bago ipinagpatuloy ang sasabihin. “We’re great in bed. It’s quite vulgar, but you have to hear it. You’re a sex expert. I don’t know if the word expert suits you. You’re perfect. But, I don’t think it’s a good idea for us to get married.”

“You know it frustrates me that whenever I think we’re doing it right, you just shrink back and make me feel like a loser, a beggar perhaps. Are we at it again? You don’t want to marry me because I’m not enough for you. You don’t want to marry me because all you want is my body. Akala ko ba ako ang puro sex lang ang alam. Ikaw puro sex lang ang nakikita sa akin. Ganyan ba kababa ang tingin mo sa akin? Do I look like some pathetic loser to you? I’m tired, Magnolia. I’m tired of chasing you. I don’t want to stop, but you keep pushing me away. I want to marry you so damn much, but you only talk about me only wanting to marry just to have sex with you. You’re breaking my heart, baby. You’re breaking my heart telling me all I can give you is my body.”

“You idiot!” Impit na siya napahagulgol hanggang kumawala na ang mga luha sa mga mata niya.

“I’m sorry for making it hard for you.” Mahigpit pa siyang niyakap nito. “If you don’t want to marry me, I respect your decision. Just give me the right to become the father of our babies.

“This will be our last night.”

“I know so please stop crying. I don’t want our last night to be like this. Ang ganda na ng marathon natin. Five times with a few hours of sleep in between.”

“Puro ka talaga harot kahit kailan!” Napahalakhak na siya. Pagtingin niya ay nakangiti lang din ito sa kanya. May nabasa siyang emosyon doon na hindi niya masabi kung totoo o imahinasyon lang niya. Ang alam lang niya, maghihiwalay na sila. Mananatili sa kanya ang mga bata. Ito naman ay makakadalaw kung gusto man nito. Mabuting tao si Carlo. Sadyang wala lang pagmamahal ang namamagitan sa pagsasama nila. Ayaw niyang makulong ito dahil sa mga anak nila. He deserved to be free. He deserved to fly and enjoy being at the top. He would find the love of his life. He would find the one he would marry and build a family with. She would just take care of her babies. Maybe there was also someone for her. She would be happy for him while chasing her own happiness and love.
