Curse of the Sun (Selenelion Series #1)

Kabanata 46

"Beaumont," I gripped his wrist, as I stared at their huge house in front of us.

My heart was thumping fast and loud inside my chest, I can even feel my stomach turning into knots. Kinakabahan ako. What if Elissa will scream at me? Just the thought of her giving me those livid stares makes my heart ache already.

Beaumont slid my hand down to his palm, he entwined our fingers as he looked at me with a warm smile on his face.

"I already told you, my parents knew that we were coming... I already talked to them about you over the phone, huwag kang mag-alala if you're scared to see their surprise faces, you don't have to worry about that. They all get the idea that we're already married. Hindi na sila masyadong magugulat." He coaxed me, his thumb caressing the knuckle of my thumb softly.

Nabanggit na ni Beaumont sa akin na nasabi na daw niya ang tungkol sa pagpapakasal namin because they were both worried kung bakit bigla-bigla na lamang umuwi si Elissa sa bahay nila. She do not want to tell the reason why that's why they had to ask Beaumont instead.

I pressed my lips together, slightly nodding my head. I forced a smile to somehow give myself the courage. I can do this, I will explain to Beaumont's parents.

Magkahawak kamay kaming pumasok sa loob and we were greeted by Yaya. She was stunned for a moment habang nakatingin sa aming dalawa ni Beaumont.

"Ma'am Aelia, Sir Beaumont... T-Totoo pala? Na... Na kayo..." She paused pointing at me and Beaumont.

I smiled at her. It's good to see her again. "Yes, Yaya... Ikinasal na kami." I confirmed.

"Grabe... Parang kailan lang ay ang liit mo pa lang tapos napaka palaban mo! Kahit itong si Sir Beaumont ay sinisigawan mo kahit kapiranggot ka lang." She commented still dazed.

Parehas kaming natawa ni Beaumont. "Ganun pa rin naman siya, Yaya. Inaaway ako nito lagi." Pagsusumbong niya pa at gigil akong tiningnan. "Kapag nga nainis ako itatali ko na 'to, e." He said, biting his bottom lip. He was talking to Yaya but he's looking at me.

I flushed a little, rolling my eyes at him.

"Tinali mo na nga 'ko, e. Tinali mo 'ko sa'yo." Napanguso ako ng bahagya.

Umarko ang isa niyang kilay. "O, ba't parang lugi ka pa?"

"Lugi talaga ako! Ang tanda-tanda mo na kaya!"

Biglang umawang ang bibig niya at narinig ko naman ang pagtawa ni Yaya at kinuha na lamang niya ang dalang cake ni Beaumont sa isa niyang kamay. I insist that we should bring something for his parents. Nakakahiya naman kasi na dadalaw kami tapos wala kaming dala.

Beaumont didn't take his eyes off me, maya-maya ay biglang sumilay ang isang mayabang na ngisi sa kanyang labi. "Mas mabuti nang matanda, Aelia. Mas experienced, mas magaling, mas masarap..."

Ako naman ngayon ang lumawak ang mga mata kasabay ng pamumula ng magkabila kong pisngi. Narinig ko ang pag-ubo ni Yaya.
