LOVE AND MISERY

CHAPTER 24: SEBASTIAN

Nang makita ko syang lumabas ng bahay nila Liro ay agad ko siyang hinabol pero hindi na siya nakinig.

'Use my car..' biglang saad ni Liro sa likuran ko. He gave me the key.
'Subukan mong ayusin pare.. subukan mo lang' he tapped my shoulder then went inside their house again.. agad akong sumakay sa kotse niya.

Hindi ko na siya inabutan kaya dumiretso na ako agad sa unit namin.. inabutan ko siyang kararating lang at nagbubukas pa lang ng pinto.

'Sapph.. Sapph.. what happened?' I asked at hindi sya sumagot hanggang sa makapasok na kami.
Sapph ano bang problema?' Nanatili pa rin siyang walang imik at pumasok sa kwarto pero sinundan ko sya..

'Get out!' She yelled at me pero nagmatigas ako.

'No not unless you talk to me.. anong problema?'

'Hindi mo alam? Ikaw, ikaw ang problema.. ikaw at ang pagsasama na to.. lahat mula ng nagloko ka ay naging problema na..' she murmures and she started crying.

'Sapph.. hindi lang ikaw ang nahirapan.. hindi lang ikaw ang nasaktan. Pinagsisihan ko na ang lahat, pinagsisihan ko na at pinagbayaran.. kulang pa ba? Kulang pa ba Sapph?' Humahangos na sambit ko. 'Hindi pa ba sapat ang ginagawa mong pagpapahirap sakin? Tanggap ko ang galit mo at yang galit na yan ang pumapatay sakin araw araw.. kulang pa ba? Hindi lang naman ikaw ang nawalan.. nawalan din ako Sapph.. nawala ka sakin at napakasakit nun pero tinanggap ko, tinanggap ko dahil kasalanan ko..' ang sakit sakit na nakikita ko syang nahihirapan dahil doble ang sakit na nararamdaman ko.

'Kulang pa.. oo kulang pa dahil kahit anong gawin mo, kahit saktan mo ako ng paulit-ulit at kahit ilang beses kitang gantihan.. kulang pa Seb at alam mo kung anong mas mahirap? Alam mo ba kung anong mas mahirap?' I felt so stupid watching her cru infront of me 'ang hirap kasi.. mahal na mahal pa rin kita.' Parang tumigil sa pagtibok ang puso ko ng marinig ko ang sinabi niya. 'Kahit anong gaw-' hindi ko na hinintay ang sasabihin niya, I pulled her in and covered her lips with mine... Oh God, I miss her so much. My hands are shaking and im trying so hard not to crush her in my embrace. She tastes like heaven, at first I thought she'll push me away but she didnt,.in fact she cling her arms on my neck and pressed her body to me. I deepen the kiss and she responded with the same hunger..

'I miss you' i whispered between our breath and the kiss went wild.

'Love me.. love me Seb' I scooped her into my arms and gently deposited her in the bed and the stripping of clothes began. I did not waste any time and caress her face, her soft skin. We both groaned the moment my tounge touch her skin.

'Seb...' I stared at her and claimed her lips again down to her throat.. and started to explore other teritorry. Her groan is like a music in my ears... sucking her nipple is just one of the million ways to make her body shiver.. and im on the mission to make her heart beat fast every step of the way.

She grasp the moment she felt my breath in between her thighs. I hooked her thighs on my shoulders and started to taste her... sweet.. my sweet Sapphire.

'S-Seb..' she throw her head side by side as my tongue moved back and forth inside her.. 'Oh God..'

'Stay still my love' I muttered in a roughly voice when she cant steady her legs on my shoulder..

'Ahhhh...' she grip my hair when she came in my mouth.. and she's still sweet. 'Seb..'

'Dont move a muscle. We're not yet done' i repositioned on top of her and we both groaned when I entered her. I felt her grip my arm in every thrust yet she's welcoming me. Every move makes me lost in my own thoughts, the aching sensation, the deep emotion and hunger passion... 'please dont close your eyes, i want to see you' I pleaded and she obeyed, her eyes are full of emotion. She's with me, in our room , in our bed.. I move along with her heartbeat until the last thrust inside her and we both reach the climax. I collapsed on top of her while we are both panting.

'I love you..' I whispered

'I love you too Seb' I lay beside her and lock her in my embrace and we drifted away..

Nagising ako ng tumama at wala na siya sa tabi ko.. I started to panic at agad akong bumangon, hinanap ko siya pero wala siya. Hindi ko siya mahanap at sinusubukan kong tawagan sya sa cellphone pero hindi niya rin sinasagot.

SAPPHIRE'S POV

'Oh Sapph, ang aga mo ah' salubong ni Liro sakin na may dalang suit case at palabas na ng bahay nila, kasuno nito si Lyka na may dalang necktie..

'Manang, pakihanda po ng breakfast, andito si Mrs Del Real' sigaw ni Lyka habang inaaayos ang necktie kay Liro, napatawa naman ako sa Mrs. Del Real nito.

'Babe, ang ingay mo naman' reklamo ni Liro.

'Ahh ganun?' Biglang hinigpitan ni Lyka ang paglagay ng necktie.

'B-babe naman, ang sadista mo talaga' parang batang sambit ni Liro.

'Joke lang babe, ito naman.. oh inaayos ko na' nakangiting saad ni Lyka na parang walang nangyari.

'Sige na babe' she kissed her goodbye and then turned to nod at me before he left.

'Oh ang aga mo?' Baling ni Lyka sakin ng makaalis na si Liro.

'I just need to breath.' Sagot ko bago ako sumunod kay Lyka sa kusina.

'Salamat po' I said when their helper hand me a cup of tea.

'Teka nga..' napahinto rin ako at humarap sakin si Lyka. 'Parang may iba sayo ngayon.' Umikot ito sakin at pinasadahan ako ng tingin mula ulo hanggang paa. 'Nagsex kayo no?' Bulalas nito.

Naibuga ko ang kaiinum ko lang na tea. 'W-wala ah' pagtanggi ko.

'Liar! Look my dear bestie, I wasnt born yesterday, all smile kang pumasok sa bahay, which rarely happen kasi since bumalik ka sa Pinas at pumapasok ka ng bahay namin ay pinapalibutang ng hangin ng kalungkutan ang paligid ko pero kanina, kanina iba eh.' Litanya nito at tinitigan niya muna ako ng ilang beses bago tuluyang umupo at sumubo ng ham, I hesitantly sat across her.

'Maganda lang yung gising ko' I reasoned.

'May glow sa mukha mo' she replied.

'Moisturizer lang' maagap kong sagot.

'Blooming ka' she added

'Kaliligo ko lang' I said.

'Masaya ka' pagpapatuloy nito.

'Masarap lang yung tulog ko' I mumble then took another sip of my tea.

'You got laid last night' prangkang tugon nito.

'Lyka! Ano ka ba' sita ko sa kanya.

'You had sex with him, did you?' Ayaw talaga nitong sumuko eh.

'Lyka stop it.' I said.

'Umamin ka kasi, saka ano namang mali eh asawa mo naman yun saka nasa isang bubong lanh kayo. Naku, mas magtataka ako kung walang nangyari sa inyu' she continued.

'Lyka, mali yun. Mali parin' I blurted out then Lyka put down hef fork.

'Bakit? Hindi ka nasarapan? Walang nangyaring pagtatalo ng egg and sperm cell? Jusko ha.' Walang prenong sambit nito, I rolled.my eyes then she slighlty laugh. 'Ano ba kasing mali? Bakit nagrereklamo ka? Eh asawa mo naman yun kaloka ka, eh yung kabet nga walang konsensyang naikama ang asawa mo, ikaw pa kaya?' Litanya nito.

'Wag ka ng kumain' biglang utos ko at natigilan ito na sanay magsusubo na ng bakon.

'Bakit ba?' Naiiritang tanong nito.

'May sisingilin lang tayo' then we fell into an awkarad silence.

Sa totoo lang may babayaran ako, babayaran ko ang kalayaan namin ni Seb because after last night, I realized that I cant give him up, he's my husband.. and I will always be... Mrs Del Real
