He Badly Wants Her (R-18)

Chapter 21

Chapter 21

TUMIGIL ITO ng nasa harapan na niya. "Tell me Dara, did you just met up with him?"

She involuntarily paled at his words. Kahit kinakabahan ay tumango siya.

His eyes showed pain, panic and fear,"Fuck! Damn it!" napapitlag siya sa sunod-sunod na pagmumura nito.

She felt like she had done wrong and had to apologize, "I'm sorry 'di ko sinabi. Sasabihin ko din naman pagkatapos e. I just to talk to him to—" hindi natapos ni Daidara ang sasabihin ng walang sabi sabing tinalikuran siya nito.

"Munzio!" sinundan niya ito paakyat.

"Zio!" tawag niya ulit dito. Halos madapa na siya sa paghabol dito ngunit hindi siya nito pinagtutuonan ng pansin.

Pumasok si Munzio sa kuwarto nito. Naabutan niyang nakatalikod ito sa kanya. His fist was tightly clenched that his knuckles was turning white.

"Z-zio... kailangan nating mag-usap," pasimula niya.

Nagulat siya ng humarap ito sa kanya pero mas nagulat siya sa emosyon sa mukha nito. He was in verge of crying while hiding the pain, jealousy and fear in his eyes.

"Sasama ka na ba sa kanya?" he brokenly whispered like he was afraid to know the answer.

"H-hindi! Mali ka ng iniisip!" agad niyang kinontra ang anumang iniisip nito. He can't blame him for thinking like that. Paulit-ulit niyang sinasabi dito dati na kung mabibigyan lang siya ng pagkakataon ay aalis siya sa poder nito. Now, she regretted every bit of hurtful words she said that surely caused him pain.

"You are going to leave me..." tila siguradong sigurado na ito sa sinabi nito.

Umiwas ito ng tingin sa kanya at Humarap sa lamesang nasa isang tabi. Para bang kumukuha lang ito ng suporta at wala ng lakas para harapin siya.

"Zio.... " nasasaktan siya para dito. He truly thinks worst of situation, doesn't he?

"Hanggang ngayon siya pa rin ba?" bulong nito na parang hangin ang tinatanong.

She tried to touch his shoulder but he avoided her hand. Munzio laughed humorlessly.

"Ba't ko pa tinatanong e alam ko naman eh," his teary eyed looked at her,, "Alam ko naman na siya pa rin. Pero bakit nasasaktan ako?"

Hindi siya makapagsalita. Her heart was clenching at the very sight of her husband, "You don't how many times I wished that you could love me the way you love him... Na kapag ginawa ko ang lahat... mababaling sa akin ang pagmamahal mo pero hindi pala. Alam ko sa simula pa lang, alam kong wala akong laban sa kanya. Siya ang nauna while I forced you to be the situation you loathed to be in."

"Hindi! Nagkakamali ka, Zio! It's not like— " Daidara tried butting in but Munzio cut her.

"You don't how many times I prayed you could be mine that you would be excited to bore our twin just like I did. Siguro kung hindi ako ang tatay ng magiging anak mo, magiging masaya ka. You would be excited what the future brings," she shook her head vehemently to stop him.

"You didn't know how many times I pretended that we have something. Palagi akong umaasa na may ibig sabihin ang mga pagtugon mo sa mga halik at yakap ko. I pretended that everything is normal like you were excited and happy for the family we are going to build. Pero babalik ka pa rin pala sa kanya.

"Like you were his in the first place. Lagi kong nararamdaman na dapat kitang ibalik, na dapat kong ibalik ang hindi naman naging akin," his voice was laced with so much pain.

"Zio, makinig ka muna sa 'kin!" she tried to shook his shoulder to wake Munzio na kasalukuyang umiiyak na. He gripped her hands on his shoulder.

"Ano pa bang dapat kong gawin? D-do I have to beg you to stay with me?"

Napasinghap siya ng bigla itong lumuhod sa kanyang harapan.

"A-anong ginagawa mo Zio? Tumayo ka nga diyan!" pilit niyang hinihila ito patayo.

"'Wag mo akong iwan, love. Please...please hindi ko kaya. Hindi ko kaya. I can't bear the thought of you and our twin leaving me... I promise, gagawin ko ang lahat," her desperate voice held determination and desperation.

Hindi niya maiwasang maluha sa kalagayan nito. He doesn't have to beg!

"Tumayo ka nga diyan!" lumalabo na ang kanyang paningin dahil sa  luhang kanina pa nagbabadya.

"G-gagawin ko ang lahat! I promise! Just give me time. I will help you f-fall in love me... " His voice broke that he even choked in his words.

Bumigay ang kanyang tuhod at napaupo na rin sa harap nito, "W-why are you crying? Mahirap bang bigyan ako ng pagkakataon?" she just cried harder.

Naramdaman niya ang paglapit nito sa kanya. His hands tried to wipe her tears that continue to fall.

"Pangako... Gagawin ko ang lah—"

SLAP!

Kusang umigkas ang kanyang mga kamay sa pisngi nito. His cheeks were wet from his own tears. Natigalgal itong nakatingin sa kanya.

Nagsimula na ulit siyang humihikbi, "Nakakainis ka!"

Paulit-ulit niyang hinampas ang dibdib nito habang umiiyak. Her heart was twisting with so much emotion.

Naramdaman niya ang pagyakap ng mga braso nito sa kanya, "Nakakainis ka... "

Sumubsob siya sa dibdib nito habang umiiyak, "You don't to beg, idiot!" she scolded him.

"Hindi mo ako pinapakinggan! Buwisit ka!" pinalis niya ang kanyang mga luha at bahagyang lumayo dito para matingnan ito sa mata.

"Hindi mo naman kailangang magmakaawa e. I chose you over Ares, Zio."

His hand lightly touched her wet cheek, "I can't stop myse— A-anong sinabi mo?"

"Hindi ko na uulitin tutal hindi ka naman nakikinig!" naiinis na akmang hahampasin ulit niya ito ngunit hinula nito ang kanyang mga kamay.

"Damn! Dara... what did you say?" naguguluhan itong nakatingin sa kanya.

Naiinis na inirapan niya ito. It wasn't supposed to be like this! Her confession wasnt supposed to be like this.

"Pinili kita. I chose to stay with you... "

Nanlaki ang mga mata nito. His face showed hope and confusion, "How...w-why?"

"Hindi pa ba halata? I want to stay to see what future held for us."

"Y-you want to stay?" Hindi pa rin ito makapaniwala habang nakatingin sa kanya. "B-bakit?"

"Hindi kita kayang iwan, Zio."

Disappointment filled his eyes, soo was relief, "So you were staying because you pity me?"

Tumango tango ito, "It's okay I would settle for that... I will work on changing that."

Bumangon na naman ang inis niya dito. Palagi na lamang itong gumagawa ng konklusyon na hindi hinihintay ang kanyang sasabihin.

"Kanina ka pa! I would stay with you because I already fell for you, hard!"

"Ano?! Wala kang sasabihin?" he is just going to stared at her dumbfoundedly after he confessed?

"I...do you really...are you—" tinangka nitong magsalita ngunit hindi makabuo ng tamang sasabihin.

She stared at him, waiting whule he just stared back, mouth gaping, "Argh! Wala kang kuwentang kausap!"

Iwinaksi niya ang mga kamay nito at tumayo. Tinalikuran niya ito sa lumakad sa direksiyon ng pinto para lumabas.

He immediately stood up ang grabbed her wrist, "Wait, Dara!"

Dahan-dahan siya nitong ipinaharap dito,"Do you... do you really love me?"

She impatiently crossed her arms over her chest, "I believe that what I said."

Nangilid na naman ang mga luha nito, "Ba't naiyak ka? Anong nakakaiyak sa sinabi ko?"

"Do you really meant that?" bakas pa rin ang pag-aalinlangan sa boses nito.

She sighed, "Oo nga. Aish! Nakakainis ka naman e."

Hindi naman niya ito masisi kung ayaw nitong maniwala. Marami na siyang masasakit na salita na paniguradong tumatak dito. She squeezed his hands while staring directly at him.

"Zio, I really do love you. Hindi ko alam kung kailan nagsimula pero sigurado ako sa nararamdaman ko. I just happen to realize it earlier."

"How about Ares?" parang ayaw na nitong banggitin ang mga katagang iyon.

"There will be always a place for Ares in my heart. It sounds corny but it's you who holds my heart now."

"Ump—" nagulat siya ng bigla siya nitong daluhungin ng yakap.

He tightened his embrace as her bulging stomach would allow. Ginantihan niya ang mga yakap nito. She understands that it was so sudden and unexpected. Hinintay muna niyang maka-recover ito sa kanyang sinabi.

"I didn't know that I can be this happy," mahinang turan nito.

Ilang minuto rin siyang yakap nito ng nagsimula na siyang makaramdam ng pangangalay. Bahagya niya itong tinulak, "Umm Zio? Nangangalay na ko..."

Napatili siya ng bigla siya nitong buhatin, "Zio! Ibaba mo ako!"

Naglakad ito patungo sa kama nito at dahan-dahan siyang ibinaba. Her heart melted into a puddle when he tenderly kissed her forehead before settling in her side. Binalot siya nito ng yakap bago inilagay ang ulo sa kanyang mga leeg.

She sighed while trying to play with his hair. Tila ina-absorb pa ng utak nito ang lahat ng nangyari.

"I love you too. Mahal na mahal kita," she smiled at his declaration of love.

"Thank you. Thank you so much," naramdaman na naman niyang nababasa ang kanyang balikat.

"Ano ba, Kuya Zio. Stop being a crybaby."

Umangat ang ulo nito,"What did you just call me?"

Natatawa niyang pinahid ang mga luha nito. His eyes were puffy and red from crying.

"Crybaby? Kuya Zio?" she teased him. "Naalala ko, I used to call you Kuya. "

"It irked me everytime you call me that."

Ibinalik nito ang ulo nito sa leeg niya. His hands started to caress her tummy, "Bakit ba lagi ka na lang naiyak? Hindi maniniwala sina Sani kung sasabihin kong balat sibuyas ka. I witnessed you cried many times. Very different from composed and stoic image you let them see."

"Real man cry... I'm so happy..." he whispered.

"How did you knew I was there?" tanong niya kapagkuwan. Isang malaking palaisipan pa rin kung bakit nito nalaman kung nasaan siya.

"Nate texted me. Just so you know, he owned that seafood restaurant."

"Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa 'kin na magkikita kayo?" nakaramdam siya ng hinanakit sa boses nito.

"Ba't 'di mo sinabi sa 'kin na Ares was trying to talk to me?" balik tanong niya.

"Hindi mo alam kung gaano ako natakot ng malaman ko na magkasama kayo. Pinigilan ko ang sarili ko na kaladkarin ka paalis doon at ikulong lang dito sa bahay," he started nibbling the sensitive part of her neck that made her tremble.

"Hindi ko kayang isipin na mag-uusap kayo. Deep inside me, still insisting that when you get a chance, you will leave me."

"Hindi ko gagawin iyon. I already told Ares and Periwinkle that I am going to stay with you," she assured him.

"How... how did Ares... they reacted?"

"Nagulat s'yempre. Ares was in denial."

"Are you really sure... " kahit hindi nito tinapos ang tanong ay alam na niya ang ibig nitong sabihin.

"Stop questioning my feelings, Zio."

He hugged her closer to him, "I know we started in a wrong way but I want to make this right. Pangako, iingatan ko ang pag-ibig mo. You will never regret that you chose me."

"I'm not going to," she firmly stated.

"Life wasn't going to be perfect. But I can assure you that I will always love you in every breath I take."

Comfortable silence reigned over them. Nararamdaman niya ang kasiyahang nagmumula kay Munzio. Nanatili silang magkayakap habang malalalim ang mga iniisip. She felt him shower her face and stomach kisses before the exhaustion of earlier happening took over her.



PINAGBUKSAN SIYA ng pinto ni Munzio pagkatapos ay inalalayan siya pababa ng sasakyan.

"I told you hindi mo na ako kailangang alalayan na para isang imbalido," saway niya dito.

Umikot ito sa likod ng sasakyan at kinuha ang mga mansanas at daing na pinabili niya kanina. Binalikan siya nito at kinuha ang kanyang kamay habang bitbit sa kabila ang mga pinamili.

"I told you, I love taking care of you," nakangiting sambit nito. He smiled more often now. They were more ease around each other since the day she confessed. Isang malaking pagbabago ang naganap sa kanila buhat noon. Sabay na silang natutulog sa kuwarto nito habang inilipat na nito ang lahat ng gamit niya kung saan siya natutulog. 

Galing sila sa ospital dahil sa kaniyang check-up. They decided to stroll at the town after her check-up. It be consider as their first official date after all.

"Sus, bolero!" she circled her arms around him possessively.

"You are getting clingy these days huh?" he teased.

Nitong mga nakaraang araw, halos gusto niya laging nakikita ito o palagiang nakadikit dito. Hindi niya alam kung bakit pero gustong gusto niya na palaging nasa tabi niya ito. She even cried yesterday when she woke up and found herself alone. Masama ang loob niya buong umaga ng malaman niyang umalis ito para sa trabaho.

Daidara pouted, "Bakit ayaw mo?"

He lowered his head and kissed her pouting lips soundly. Agad siyang napangiti sa ginawa nito.

"Of course not. I always dreamed of you being like this."

"Patay na patay ka talaga sa 'kin 'no."

"Whatever you say. I think it's the other way around," he grumbled in his breath.

Akmang bubuksan nila ang pinto ng bumungad sa kanila si Sisa. Bakas sa mukha nito ang pagkagulantang sa kanilang presensiya.

"S-sir! Ma'am!" napakunot ang noo niya ng marinig ang pagkautal nito.

"Bakit parang nakakita ka ng multo diyan?"

Sisa laughed awkwardly, "Ahehehe. Akala ko po kasi mamaya pa kayo darating. Ay Sir akin na 'yang dala niyo. Pasok na po kayo," ngumiwi pa ito.

Parang natatakot ito na kung ano. It was like she was hiding something from them.

"Ingatan mo yang mga apples, Sisa," Munzio reminded Sisa.

"S'yempre Sir," nagmamadaling sabi ni Sisa. Tatanungin niya sana ito kung bakit balisa ito ng tumalikod na ito sa kanila at pumasok sa loob.

"Zio! Ipagbalat mo ako ng mansanas," she demanded while Munzio was holding the door for her.

"You have your own hands," he muttered.

Nalukot ang kanyang mukha sa tugon nito,  "Eh gusto ikaw. 'Tsaka aalis ka ba mamaya?"

Tumango ito, "Hmm. Kailangan ako ni Nate kasi may deliveries sa bayan."

Lalong nag-iba ang timpla ng mukha niya sa sinabi nito, "'Wag ka na muna umalis. Dito ka na lang. Ipagluto mo na lang kami ng kambal. Pleaseee.... " she pleaded while clinging onto him and batting her eyelashes.

He sighed, "Love, kailangan talaga ako d'on. Di bale ipagluluto kita pagdating ko. I just need to see how things are going in the deliveries."

Lumayo siya dito at tinapunan ito ng masamang tingin. She crossed her arms around her chest. He immediately followed her hands and stared at her breast far to long to be normal.

"Hmp! Baka gusto mo lang balikan yung babae kanina sa palengke."

He creased his forehead while trying to touch her but she side-stepped her, "Babae sa palengke?"

"Iyong matagal kausap mo kanina!" pag-aakusa niya dito.

Tumango-tango ito na tila naalala ang tinutukoy niya, "Ah si Nina."

Her eyes widened, "Kita mo na? Alam mo pati ang pangalan."

"Ba't ko naman siya babalikan?"

"Hmp! Magmamaang maangan ka pa eh halos ilang minuto mo ngang kausap kanina?" he tried to touch her again but she avoided it, still fuming with jealousy.

"We were just talking the best way to cook daing. I am inquiring the recipe for you—wait! Nagseselos ka ba?"

Mabilis niyang itinanggi ang akusasyon nito. Hindi hindi niya aaminin na nagseselos siya.

Hindi hamak na mas maganda siya doon, "Hindi ah. Bakit naman ako magseselos?"

Tumawa ito habang itinuturo ang ilong niya, "Oh! Nanlalaki ang butas ng ilong mo."

Lalo siyang nairita dahil sa ipinakita nito, "Hindi nga! Inililihis mo lang sa 'kin ang usapan eh."

"Eh bakit naman kasi napunta sa kay ang usapan? Magde-deliver lang ako sa palengke mamaya," he said seriously while his eyes revealed that he was enjoying her jealousy.

"Bahala ka nga! Umalis ka kung gusto mo," pagdadabog niya dito at tinalikuran niya ito para umupo sa sala. They were still in entrance way for Pete's sake!

She felt strong arms wrapped around her. Pinilit niyang tinatanggal ang pagkakayakap nito pero mas humigpit lamang ang yakap nito. "Nagtatampo ang mahal ko," he whispered.

"Ano ba! Umalis ka na. Basta tandaan mo, 'wag kang tatabi sa 'kin mamaya," banta niya dito. She knows she was acting like a child but can't seem to use her rationality right now.

"Mga anak inaaaway na naman ako ni Mommy. Ayaw ako paalisin... " nagboses bata ito habang kinakausap ang kanilang anak.

"Pinapaalis na kita ah. Umalis ka na! Wala akong pakialam kung anong oras ka bumalik."

Nagulat siya ng hawakan siya nito sa magkabilang balikat at marahang isinandal sa pader. She squirmed in his hold when he started kissing her neck while holding her close.

"Z-zio! Ano ba!"

"Sorry na. 'Di na aalis si Daddy," he huskily whispered in her ear. She grabbed fistful of Munzio's shirt when he started to nibble her ear.

"Zio ano ba! Makita tayo ni Manang na ganito."

Tiningnan siya nito sa mata. He was still caging her between his arms, "Hindi na ako aalis. Ano bang gusto mo? Ipagluluto kita. Daing? Ube? Leche plan?"

"Napipilitan ka lang naman eh."

"I'm not... Don't push me away again okay? You pushed me enough in the past."

Inilapat nito ang noo nito sa kanya. Halos maduling siya sa pagtingin dito.

She pouted while looking at him accusingly, "Eh pupuntahan mo lang naman yung babaeng iyon eh. Akala ko ba hindi ko napansin yung mga tingin niya sa 'yo? She—"

Naputol ang kanyang sasabihin ng agad siya nitong sinibasib ng halik. His kisses were aggressive yet passionate. Isang ungol ang kumawala mula sa kanyang lalamunan na hindi niya napigilan. Her hands immediately clinged into his neck while playing with his hair. She immediately opened her mouth when his tounge seeked entrance. Panay ang pag-eespadahan ng kanilang ng dila. They were so lost in passion and heat with not care around their surroundings.

Humihingal sila ng naghiwalay ang kanilang mga labi. He kissed her lips lightly several times.

"You jealous pregnant.... how did you think about cheating on you," he said while still kissing her lips.

"Ikaw lang... I've been waiting for you in years and I'm not going to do things to hurt you," napangiti siya na naging tugon nito.

Mahigpit ang pagkakayakap isang braso nito sa kanya habang humahaplos na naman sa likuran niya ang isa na nagbigay sa kanya ng kakaibang init. Her core was burning with need and passion right now!

He growled and found her lips again. They were once lost in undeniable passion and heat. Bumaba ang halik nito sa kanyang leeg. She moaned when he bit side of her neck. He was leaving a love mark! He groaned, "So delicious... Let's continue this in our room."

Agad silang naghiwalay ng may marinig silang tumikhim. Napasinghap siya ng mabaling ang tingin nila sa sala.

Munzio's family was there while staring at them with their mouth gaping!
