Her Perfect Imperfection

Chapter Twenty-Nine

CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE: FAR FROM YOU

Thirdy

IT'S HALF PAST twelve midnight when I suddenly woke up. Hindi ko alam pero pagmulat ng mga mata ko ay si Jeni ang agad kong hinahanap. Fear crept in when I remembered the dream I had. Para kasing totoo ang kaganapan doon na siyang nagtulak sa akin para yakapin si Jeni na natutulog sa tabi ko.

Ilang beses ko inulit-ulit sa isip ko na panaginip lang iyon at hindi totoong aalis si Jeni. That makes my hug tightens a little.

“Bakit gising ka pa?” tanong niya sa akin. Hinawi ko ang buhok niyang natatabingan ang kanyang leeg at kinintalan iyon ng maliliit na halik. I heard Jeni's soft chuckles as I keep on doing that. “Hindi ka pa ba pagod, Thirdy?”

“Nakapag-recharge na ako,” tugon ko. Naramdaman ko na hinawakan niya ang braso kong nakapalupot sa kanyang baywang. She tapped it gently so I loosen up, guiding her body as she turned around to meet my eyes. “I dreamed of you leaving.”

“Saan ako nagpunta?” Masuyo niyang hinaplos ang mukha at hindi nawaglit ang tingin namin sa isa't-isa.

“I don't know. You just left and even if I called on your name, you never turned your back at me.” Napapikit ako nang magaan matapos niyang patakan ng halik ang aking noo. Sa muling pagdilat ko ay nagsalubong na uli ang aming mga mata. “Don't go far from me, Jeni. Do not go without me, hm?”

“I won't go far from you, Thirdy.” That's asuring enough for me to believe what she just said. Naniniwala ako sa pangako na siyang panghahawakan ko buong buhay ko. Right there, I started kissing her on the lips and it'a more passionate now, calming the storm in my mind. Jeni is here with and she won't go far from me or without me. “Thirdy. . .” she breathlessly uttered my name after letting her lips go.

That pleading call became a loud moan aas I kept on devouring her neck. And as my lips down further, it heated us up quickly, making her to take the lead from me. She went on top of me, making me see a bruise on her arm.

“What is this?” tanong ko sa kanya. Ngunit imbis na sagutin ako ay hinawi niya muna ang buhok bago tumingin diretso sa mga mata ko.

“Pina-alis ko iyong birth control implant ko. I will start using an over-the-counter pills from now on.”

“You've been using that implant since -”

“Since I regularly checked out customers from that bar. Ang totoo, natakot ako na mabuntis kaya iyon ang pinalagay ko. I hate drama because my life has full of it until now. Saka ano ba ang malay ko sa pagpapalaki ng bata gayong 'di naman ako natutukan ng mga biological parents ko.”

“What happen?” Sandali siyang nanahimik na tila ba kinokolekta ang lakas ng loob.

“Sa contest na sinalihan ko nag-ugat ang lahat. . .”

Jeni started telling me her story on how she end up working on a place where pleasure has a price. Sa isang contest niya nakilala si Griffin na sa umpisa ay mabait ang pakitungo sa kanya. They started as friends because that's all she could gave for the sake of her studies. Naintindihan daw iyon ni Griffin at patuloy siya nilagawan hanggang sa mapa-sagot na nito siya.

Maayos lahat sa umpisa at para siyang nasa cloud nine kasi daw ang lalaki ang boyfriend na pangarap ng lahat. But fate made their path crossed and she slowly entrusted herself to him to the point of giving the man a consent on making her a woman.

Claiming her innocence.

Nagpatuloy si Jeni sa pagku-kwento hanggang sa panumandaling huminto at kinailangan ko pa siyang yakapin. She's still afraid and been hidding it behind strong aura she wears everyday. Her first sex experience was followed by another after another until Griffin suddenly became experimental. Akala niya noong una at normal lang iyon na ginagawa ng iba.
