Dive Deep

CHAPTER 34

"Ibalik mo ako sa Manila."

After a shared pleasure, they were now lying in their beds. Only the bed sheet covered the nakedness of their bodies.

"Bakit? Hindi ka tinanan ni Lacsamana?"

Napabangon si Cyra saka hinampas ng unan ang lalaki. "Magagawa niya kung gugustuhin ko. Stupid."

Bumangon din si Ashen mula sa pagkakahiga niya. "So, you made your choice and that is to stay with me?" Hindi nito mapigilang ngumiti.

"Bakit ba ang yabang-yabang mo ha? Rox, that damn girl sent me here without my consciousness. Do you think I can protest with that state? Hindi kita pinili, and besides hindi pangkabit ang pagkatao ko. Nagbalikan na kayo ni Nicelle, hindi ba? Then, what are you doing here? Why are you showing everybody that you still care for me? Manhid ka ba? Tanga? Ano?"

He massage the temple of his head and then his nose before speaking to the woman again.

"I won't stay here kung nakipagbalikan ako sa kaniya, and I would not make love to you if I had that woman. I respect my own woman, and I won't let you be my mistress because you are meant to be my legal wife. No one else."

Hindi makapagsalita si Cyra dahil sa nasasaksihan niya ngayong pagtatapat ng lalaki. Finally, will he say the words? Is he more serious now?

"I want to hear from you."

Cyra blinked multiple times showing that she became embarrassed after his words. Then, she's Cyra Arevalo, she managed to compose her self and roll her eyes on the man.

She smiled sarcastically, "Ano'ng gusto mong marinig? Na mahal kita? Asa ka, huwag mo akong ginagago."

Ashen's hand formed into a fist. Pikon na pikon na siya kanina pa but he just can't be mad on her for so long. Palagi niya kasi itong hinahanap at gusto'y katabi lamang lagi. Cyra was about to went off the bed but then Ashen rushed to seize her arm and lock her between his biceps.

"Bakit ba ang sungit mo sa'kin ha? Do you hate me that much?"

The woman was taken aback. Nasobrahan na ba ang pagiging maugali niya rito?

"No-

She was then hindered to object as Ashen's lips rushed to her and devoured her mouth again.

"Alam mo? Pagbalik ko riyan ikaw ang una kong hahanapin. Pagbabayaran mo ang ginawa mo."

["Sus! Nagustuhan mo naman."]

Nagdesisyon si Cyra na tawagan ang kaibigan upang tanungin ito sa nangyari at sinabi nga nito sa kaniya. Kaya naman, muling namumuo ang inis sa kaniyang damdamin.

"Are you-

["Hulaan ko, bati na kayo 'no?"]

Hindi naman agad siya nakaimik. Should she deny it?

"So, this was your plan all along? Kasabwat mo ba ang lalaking 'yon?"

["No! Kung alam mo lang kung paano ako pinagalitan ng lalaking 'yon kagabi."]
