Chapter 13 Special Chapter

A smile crept on Deilan's lips when she felt a arm wrapped around her waist and a warm breath hitting against her neck. Bahagya niyang hinila ang comforter para matakpan ang dibdib niya, Kiel will surely scold her if he saw her being unbothered showing off her body.

She licked her lower lip when she felt Kiel's hand on her breast. Due to her pregnancy, unti unti nang lumalaki ang dibdib niya, or maybe because Kiel was enjoying himself fondling her breast every time he gets a chance.

It's been a week since Kiel proposed to her. Hindi pa alam ng mga magulang niya, obviously, she enjoyed being with Kiel. Just doing the same routine everyday. Making love and talking about their sexuality. They are actually so lost about it, they both knew that they're not straight as a ruler. Kumbaga sa daan, baliko silang dalawa.

Bumalik sa reyalidad si Deilan nang maramdaman na nilalaro na naman ni Kiel ang dibdib niya na hawak hawak nito, she rolled her eyes and tapped his hand.

"Tigilan mo ako, Kiel." She hissed, her voice was a bit hoarse.

Bumilis ang tahip ng dibdib niya nang marinig niya ang baritonong pagtawa nito. Ibinaon ni Kiel ang mukha sa leeg niya, napangiti nalang si Deilan nang patakan siya nito ng maliliit na halik.

"Good morning," he whispered and snuggled close to her.

"Morning," she greeted too.

Deilan changed her position and slid her arm in between of the pillow and Kiel's head. Hinalikan niya ang tungki ng ilong nito at sunod ang manipis at mapulang labi nito. She felt him smiled while she's kissing him.

"Sobrang clingy mo!" Pinanggigilan niya ang tungki ng ilong nito. Bahagya lang tumawa si Kiel, before went on top of her, ngumisi si Deilan nang makita ang bagong gising na mukha ni Kiel. What a sight to behold...

"You like it... Akala mo hindi ko napapansin?" Mayabang na ganti nito sa kanya. She just chuckled and softly pressed her lips against his cheek.

Hindi talaga niya inakala sa buong buhay niya na sa lalaki pa rin siya babagsak. She made peace with the fact that she's going to find a decent woman to be her wife and partner, her family also accepted the fact that she's not going to have a child on her own. Nag-iisip na siya noon na mag adopt or alagaan nalang ang magiging anak ng kapatid niyang si Dylan.

But now, she's with a man and pregnant. Magkakaanak siya na sa kanya mismo manggagaling. Life was really full of surprises.

Siguradong pati ang mga naging ka one night stand at kalandian niya ay magugulat.

Mukhang may ideya na ding si Frances, ang asawa ni Dylan sa relasyon nilang dalawa ni Kiel. She even told her father that he'll be having a son in law, at hindi panibagong anak na babae. Hinalikan ulit siya ni Kiel sa labi bago ito tumayo at magsuot ng damit.

"Jollibee ba ulit?" Nakataas ang kilay na tanong nito sa kanya. She shake her head and grab the shirt he handed to her and wear it.

"Mcdo. Order-in mo lahat ng nasa breakfast menu nila." She answered without looking at him.

Nanunubig ang bagang niya kapag naiisip niya ang mga pagkain sa Mcdo. These past few days, puro Jollibee meal ang kinakain nilang dalawa ni Kiel. Burger steak and Jolli spaghetti to be exact. Sinuklay niya ang humahaba niyang buhok gamit ang mga daliri niya bago kinuha ang cellphone sa side table na nasa tabi ng kama niya. Lumabas na si Kiel dala dala ang cellphone at wallet nito, may Mcdo malapit sa building ng unit niya, maybe he'll get it himself.

Deilan checked her emails and messages. Karamihan sa mga message ay galing sa Daddy niya na kinukulit siyang umuwi sa bahay at isama ang 'Future Son in Law' na sinasabi niya rito, the other messages was from his brother asking for a certain file he needs, next was from her sister in law asking if she's already fully recovered.

Kinuha niya ang tali na palaging itinatabi ni Kiel sa bed side table at itinali ang buhok niya bago isa isang nireplyan ang mga ito. She was already planning to introduce Kiel to her parents after she told her father about her having a man.

Lane was having a hardtime taming her ex boyfriend, but that woman already knows about her condition. Hindi naman 'yon nahuhuli sa balita, dahil ito ang unang pinagsasabihan niya. Muntik pa itong mahimatay nang malaman na buntis siya, dinaig pa ang tatay ng magiging anak niya na nakangiti lang noon sa kanya.

And as Deilan expected, hindi na ito nagulat. He intentionally shoot his semen to her after all. She stood up and went inside her bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth, habang wala si Kiel naisipan na rin niya ang maligo. It's weird that she's sweating a lot, kahit naka full blast naman ang aircon sa loob ng kwarto niya.

Kumunot ang noo niya nang makita na tumatawag sa kanya ang kapatid niya.

"Yes? Need anything?" Agad na tanong niya kay Dylan pagkasagot na pagkasagot niya.

Nag-asawa man ito at nagka-anak, Dylan was still and will always be her baby brother.

[The key to your man cave.]

Nawala ang emosyon sa mukha ni Deilan nang marining ang man cave. "Except for that Dylan. You want one? Pwede naman kitang pagawan."

Ayaw na niyang isipin ang katarantaduhan na ginawa ni Dylan sa man cave niya, baka nga doon nabuntis si Frances. Kinuha niya ang maliit na towel at dahan dahan na umupo sa dulo ng kama niya. She turned the call to loud speaker para mapunasan niya nang mabuti ang buhok, wala pa si Kiel para may umasikaso sa kanya.

She heard Dylan chuckled at the same time, ang iyak ng pamangkin niya.

[Shhh, stop crying Love... Mama is still sleeping. Anyways, Dei, I heard you're keeping a man? I want to meet him later, bye.]

She scoffed when the line ended. His voice sounds strict, mas strict pa sa boses ng Mommy at Daddy nilang dalawa. Dylan always choose to keep his opinion and curiosity to himself and shut his mouth off, hearing him acting like the oldest made Deilan a proud sister. Yeah, I should accept it by now that I am now a sister and not a brother. She mentally rolled her eyes with that thought.

NAGDADALAWANG isip si Kiel kung susundin ba niya ang gusto ni Deilan. Karamihan kasi ay may kapeng kasama and according to Lane, Caffeine was no good to pregnant woman, pero pwede naman itong uminom kahit isang tasa lang.

"Sir?" Tawag pansin sa kanya ng babaeng nasa cashier.

"Lahat ng nasa breakfast menu." He said and sighed.

Nanlaki ang mata ng babae, tumaas ang sulok ng labi ni Kiel nang hindi ito gumalaw.

"My pregnant wife wants all of that... She's waiting for me so, pakibilisan?" Nakangiting paki usap niya rito. "'Yong ibang coffee, sa inyo na lang." Habol ni Kiel bago niya iabot ang card niya.

The woman happily nodded her head as she punched his order and swipe his card for the payment. Nang maibalik sa kanya ang card niya doon lang siya naghanap ng mauupuan, they even gave them a coffee, at ilang sachet ng creamer at sugar. Tinitimpla na niya ang kape niya nang may lalaki na umupo bakanteng upuan sa harap niya. His eyes dropped off to the man and raised his brows. Hindi niya kilala.

"Kiel?" The man asked.

"Who are you?" He asked while stirring his coffee.

"Wow! You change a lot! Even your voice! The last time I heard it was when were doing it..."

Kumunot ang noo ni Kiel sa narinig. Bakla! Kinalkal niya ang sariling utak para maalala ang lalaking nasa harapan niya ngayon, he never fucked anyone before after that one... Don't fucking tell me...

"It was me, Kiel! I can't believe you forgot me! You were my first," he came closer and placed his hands on his side lips to cover his mouth and whispered. "You were my first anal sex."

Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Kiel. Of all places, bakit sa McDo niya pa ito makikita?! Nakangisi ito ng nakakaloko sa kanya.

"I was actually thinking that night na baka ako 'yung top, I mean, no offense meant but the way you move before was too feminine and imagine my shock seeing you being manly right now! It was a good fuck that night, hindi ko makalimutan, I've tried it with other people but..." Bumaba ang tingin nito. "Yours was better and bigger."

Naiilang na ngumiti si Kiel sa kaharap niya. "Sige, I'll take that as a compliment."

"Free ka ba tonight? May alam akong bagong bukas na bar, I just want to catch up and have fun with you."

Umangat ang kilay ni Kiel nang gumapang ang kamay nito sa kamay niya, he shake his head and clucked his tongue. He's no longer interested in men. Sa iisang tao nalang siya interesado, at kay Deilan lang. Iniwas niya ang kamay niya rito, ayaw naman niya maging rude dahil ngayon nalang ulit sila nagkita, beside the mana was his first and last sex when he's still a gay.

"I'm—" Kiel's words cut off.

"Kaya pala ang tagal ng almusal ko? Nakikipaglampungan ka pa dito? Sa ininform mo ako, edi sana natawagan ko si Lane."

His eyes widened seeing Deilan beside his table, matalim ang tingin nito sa kanya.

"Kanina ka pa diyan?" Nag-aalalang tanong niya rito.

"Sakto lang para marinig ko na nag sex kayo." She answered without any emotion in her face. He's a dead meat now.

"Dei, that's not it!" Tumayo siya para lapitan ito.

"Who is he? Your boyfriend?"

"Fiance." Deilan corrected and show off her ring on her finger. Sarkastikong tumawa si Deilan at tumayo sa kinauupuan nito. "Umuwi ka na pagkatapos mo dito. I'll pack your things."

His jaw almost dropped when he heard her saying she'll pack all of his things. Hindi 'yon makatarungan. Bago pa niya mapigilan si Deilan, the manager showed up handing out his orders. The man was talking to him, more of blabbering that he couldn't believe he'll be tied up soon, ni hindi man lang siya nakarinig ng sorry mula rito. Not that it was his fault, it was all a misunderstanding after all.

"I have to go, if you see me again please... Ikaw na ang umiwas. Selosa ang magiging asawa ko." Kiel asked and bowed his head a little before going out the food chain restaurant.

Masyadong marami ang dala niya pero hindi niya na 'yon alintana. It's a good thing that Frances always bugged him to go and buy their groceries back when they're living together, siya lagi ang taga bitbit. His heart beat was racing, he hardly catch up with his own breath, kinakabahan siya. Looks like they're having their first fight.

Sa isip ni Kiel, nakahanda na kung ano ang sasabihin niya at kung paano pakakalmahin si Deilan, she easily got angry, siguro ay dahil buntis ito. But when he saw her packing his clothes, parang nalunok niya ang sariling dila at natulos nalang siya sa kinatatayuan niya.

So, this is how Deilan Cortez when she's mad?

Tahimik na lumabas si Kiel at dumeretso sa kusina para ilagay muna doon ang mga pagkain na pinabili nito. They're not having a peaceful breakfast for today. Pinapanalangin na lang ni Kiel na hindi mahilig mambato ng mga gamit si Deilan kapag galit. Maliban sa mabilisan na pagpapalayas nito sa kanya. He sighed when he remembered her packing his clothes.

They started their morning just fine! Now, Kiel was convinced that no matter how much he tried not to do something or say something to offend Deilan just so they won't fight, mag-aaway at mag-aaway pa rin silang dalawa. Its part if a relationship. It's up to the people involved if they're going to make the relationship between the two of them stronger or to break apart. In his case, hindi pa sila kasal, hindi pa lumalabas ang anak nila, hindi pa sila nagtatagal, hell if he needs to go on bended knees, gagawin niya.

"Dei..." He softly called her name, dahan dahan siyang naglakad papalapit dito.

"May isang linggo pa lang noong nag propose ka, Kiel. Ano 'yun?" Deilan asked, he was taken a back when he saw tears streaming down her face. Siya ang nahihirapan.

"Dei, that's not it. I didn't... I swear to God, hindi ako— hindi na ako nakikipagkita sa iba simula nung nagkasundo tayo, 'yung sinasabi niya that was before I met you..." He tried to explain while trying to wipe her tears but Deilan kept on yanking his hands.

Kiel sighed softly. Lumuhod siya sa harapan nito at ipinatong ang mga kamay sa mga tuhod ni Deilan.

"Listen, Dei let's talk about it okay? What's make you upset? 'Yon bang nagalaw ko siya? Isang beses lang 'yon. Hindi na ako umulit." He explained calmly.

That was the Truth, back the he only did it once, the feeling was ecstatic to him pero hindi 'yon hinahanap hanap ng katawan niya.

Huminga nang malalim si Deilan at pinunasan ang luha sa pisngi nito. His heart was clenching as he watched Deilan's crying. It was too painful to watch.

"Bakit mo kinausap? Yours was bigger and better? I'll take that as a compliment? Really? Kiel?" Sarkastikong tanong nito sa kanya. And because of Deilan's natural voice, gayang gaya nito ang boses nilang dalawa ng lalaking nakausap niya kanina.

He's going nuts. Ni hindi na nga niya matandaan ang pangalan noon! Kiel wasn't even planning to go out with him, first, may Deilan na siya and last tumutuwid na ang lahi niya.

"Ha! Putangina," Malutong na mura nito na mas lalong nagpakaba kay Kiel. She curse. That only means that she's really angry and taming Deilan won't be as easy as he thinks. "I don't even know why am I acting like this! It's not like I didn't do it too!" She exclaimed and covered her face with her palms.

Kiel made peace with himself about Deilan going out with a lot of women. It was all in the past and he won't let that affect him nor their relationship. It's just that Deilan's pregnant and it must be her pregnancy talking.

"I'm sorry, please don't cry..." He trailed off, tumayo siya sa pagkakaluhod at ikinulong sa bisig niya si Deilan. Marahan na inaalo ito. "Hindi ko alam na nandoon siya, I don't even remember him. Masyado nang matagal 'yon kaya nakalimutan ko na."

"Do you like it? Do you want it?" Sunod sunod na tanong sa kanya ni Deilan. Kumunot ang noo ni Kiel at sinapo ang magkabilang pisngi nito para makita ang buong mukha nito.

"What do you mean?" He asked, confused.

"Anal sex," she answered with a straight face. She didn't even blink.

"What?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong nito sa kanya.

"Do you like it? That you only did it to him? Was he that special to you?!" She burst out again.

And here he thought she calmed down even just a little.

"Dei, hindi ganoon!" Hindi na niya napigilan ang sarili na magtaas ng boses.

"Then what?! I'm asking you! Do you like it? If yes then let's do it together!"

Kiel's eyes widened as Deilan words stunned him.

"Deilan what the fuck?!" He yelled. "Naiintindihan ko na nagseselos ka, na buntis ka kaya ka galit ngayon, pero 'yung tatanungin mo ako kung gusto ko ba 'yon at gawin ko 'yon sayo, Deilan that's too much!" Madiin na sabi ni Kiel.

Napahilamos sa mukha si Kiel, he crouched down at dahan dahan na pinagdikit ang noo nilang dalawa ni Deilan, he kissed his soon to be wife's lips slowly and tenderly so she can feel that his love for her was not shallow and that he won't do things that could hurt her.

"I won't do it with you... I only did it once because I am afraid that I'll break their hips. I won't do it with you because I know how painful it was." He whispered while planting kisses on her lips.

It was effective. Unti unting kumakalma si Deilan. Kiel started at her eyes and smiled, assuring her.

"I'm sorry, natakot lang ako na baka bumalik ka sa kanya... I was paranoid, aside from me, your staff and Frances, nginitian mo siya... Inaway pa kita... I'm sorry."

Kiel chuckled softly and kissed her lips one more time before wiping the tears on her face.

"I have you, Dei. Wala na akong babalikan sa nakaraan ko at wala na akong balak bumalik, we promised to start again right? Having you was the best thing happened to me. You are enough for me. If ever you saw me entertaining a man, you don't need to worry and feel jealous, kasi ikaw lang ang mahal ko. Trust me and my love for you hmm?" He said and pinched her cheek a little.

They're not playing anymore. Their arrangement was now far different from before. They're exclusively for each other. Now and once they got married.

"Hindi mo talaga ako iiwan kahit si 'yung bidang lalaki sa 356 days ang ihaharap sayo?" Nanghahamon na tanong ni Deilan sa kanya.

"I'll try my best to bring Dakota Johnson, palit tayo." He playfully answered and wink at Deilan who playfully punched him in his stomach.

"Hindi na ako lugi," Deilan answered.

"Kidding aside, it's a no. Kahit sino pa ang iharap mo sa akin hindi kita ipagpapalit." He seriously said. Umupo siya sa tabi nito at kinuha ang kamay ni Deilan para pagsiklupin ang kamay nilang dalawa.

He really loves to hold her hand, because this was the only thing that reminds him it's real. What's happening between them was real and not just a dream.

"Kahit awayin mo pa ako, hindi kita iiwan. But please, don't pack my clothes next time, muntik na akong ma heart attack kanina!" He hissed and Deilan just chuckled.

"I'm sorry, hindi ko na ulit gagawin." Deilan said and raised her right hand.

"Baba na tayo? Let's have a breakfast." Nakangiting sabi niya at tumango naman si Deilan.

Kiel was sure na hindi ito ang huling beses na mag-aaway silang dalawa ni Deilan, he'll make sure that they won't sleep unless they've settled it. He'll make sure na sa bawat problema na ibabato sa kanilang dalawa, papatibayin niyon ang relasyon nila at hindi para paghiwalayin silang dalawa.

"Why are you staring? Malamig na ang kape, gusto mo ba iinit ko muna?" Tanong sa kanya ni Deilan.

"Naisip ko lang..."

Kumunot ang noo ni Deilan sa kanya. "Alin?"

"You look nervous," he noticed. Bahagya siyang natawa nang inirapan siya nito.

"Ano ba 'yon?"

"Ikaw 'yung pinaka magandang tao na dumating sa buhay ko."

I was her colossal mistake, we are now connected, without each other, we are just a lifeless human being, seeking for a person to play with.

Her colossal mistake changed his life and replaced it with a serene life. With a woman. Life was really full of surprises.
