Hussein De Russo's Chattels

Chapter Eighteen

Kaori

Hussein tried to draw near me. I slammed the gate and rushed inside. Nagmukmok ako sa kwarto at tinawagan si Aoki. Hindi maiwasan ang panginginig ng kamay ko habang dina-dial ang number niya. His phone is ringing but he's not answering.

"I have told you already, Norhaya. You are not escaping me. I am fucking mad at you right now for leaving me behind without thinking about my feelings. I am very very mad and mad daddy is not good."

My eyes widened when the door of my room opened and he walked in. Tinanggal nito ang relo at neck tie saka tiniklop pataas ang itim na long sleeve. His eyes were burning. His adams apple moved when he climbed on the bed, not leaving his stare at me.

"Damn. You're pregnant with my child. How cool is that?"

I gulped. His huge hands held my thigh and he helped himself up to come closer to me. His eyes wandered around my face.

"Ang gago mo," napalunok ako. "I'm already a disgrace in this family because of being pregnant. Huwag mo ng dagdagan, please. Willing maging ama si Aoki sa bata. Ayokong sirain ang reputasyon ng pamilya ko, Hussein. Umalis ka nalang. Ayaw mo no'n? Wala kang pananagutan sa 'kin," litanya ko.

Mas lalong nagsalubong ang kilay nito at nagtagis ang bagang. Oh boy, he looked so mad. His grip on my thigh tightened. Hindi ako makatingin sa kaniya dahil nakakatakot ang uri ng titig nito sa 'kin.

Hussein has been good to me eversince our relationship started. But I just can't drag down our family name for selfish reasons. Tinanggap ko 'to ng buo noon, with the exchange of me living and studying in the Philippines to escape the cruel reality of our family reputation. Ang tanga ko.

"This child is mine, Norhaya. Akin. I will take full responsibility and you are going to live under the same roof as me." Marahas niyang sabi.

"Why can't you just leave?" I clutched my chest when the pain kicked in. Nahihirapan akong huminga. Ang daming bagay na umiikot sa utak ko. Everything is bugging my mind and I can't seem to have peace.

"Oh no, baby. Leaving you is suicide. It's either you live with me or I'll live with you."

Hindi ako umimik. My eyes wandered around the room, avoiding his gaze. He smell so damn good. Epekto lang 'to ng pagbubuntis ko. But I can't help but smell his scent.

"Hm. You like my smell?" he playfully asked. Mas lalong lumapit sa 'kin at itinukod ang dalawang kamay sa gilid ko. "You're craving for my scent, aren't you, sweetheart?"

"Lumayo ka, Hussein."

"That's cute."

Bumaba ang mukha nito sa leeg ko at marahang kinagat iyon. Nagtayuan ang balahibo ko dahil doon.

"Trust me, Kaori. I will do everything for you. Wala kang ibang gagawin kundi ang umupo lang diyan bilang asawa ko at ako na ang bahala sa lahat."

Napalunok ako nang umakyat ang halik nito papunta sa labi ko. He dropped multiple kisses while staring intently at my reaction. I missed his kisses. I want him to embrace me so bad. But that means I am adding fuel to the fire.

"You have my child," ngumisi ito.

Nag-iwas ako ng tingin pero hindi rin nagtagumpay dahil hinuli nito ang panga ko at pinaharap ulit sa kaniya. His face moved closer and I felt his lips brushed into mine, this time, it's longer. Sabik na sabik ang bawat galaw ng labi nito. Sinisipsip ang pang-ibabang labi ko at kinakagat. I let out a soft moan because of that.

"We'll be a family," saglit na humiwalay ang labi nito sa 'kin nang sabihin niya iyon.

His hands moved swiftly. Pumasok ang magaspang na kamay nito sa loob ng damit ko at marahang hinaplos-haplod ang katawan ko. Para akong napapaso sa tuwing humahagod ang malaking kamay nito sa balat ko. Kasing laki ng dalawa niyang palad ang baywang ko.
