‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ CHAPTER 16 ☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙
Hindi ko alam kung paano ako nakauwi. Buong biyahe na lumilipad ang isipan ko. Nagpasalamat ako na tahimik lang din si Kuya Dante at wala naman siyang itinanong kahit alam kong matagal siyang naghintay sa parking.
Bumalik lang ako sa katinuan nang marinig ang music na nanggagaling sa may pool side, at ang pagka-hyper ng boses ni Bran. Akala ko nakatulog na siya pero mukhang hindi pa dinadalaw ng antok. Parang ang dami na naman nilang pinag-uusapan ng tatay niya.
Pumasok ako sa loob para i-check si Baby Jai dahil kanina pa yata nakauwi si Nay Carmen. Pero nakita ko si Nang Nana na palabas ng kuwartong tinutulugan niya kapag nandito siya. Natutulog na raw si Jairo at asikasuhin ko na lang ang mag-ama ko.
Bumuntong-hininga ako't tumango.
Napagpasyahan kong dumiretso sa gawi ng pool. Hindi na ako nagpalit ng damit. Naamoy ko ang usok ng iniihaw na steak.
I stopped walking and just stared at them. I suddenly squeezed myself to the edge of the fountain just so they wouldn't notice me.
Bran was in the swimming pool, sitting on a mini floater with handles on both sides. Vadik was almost done filling the enormous mattress with air, which can hold four people, but it still won't sink. The backrest on it would make it easy to lie down and watch the stars in the sky.
May isa pang lumulutang na parang lamesa sa gitna ng pool. Napakunot ang noo ko dahil dito nakalagay ang mga pagkain na ipinagyayabang ni Bran na iniluto ng daddy niya. Panay ang kuha dito ni Bran dahil kanina pa siya may nginunguya. I kept my eyes fixed on the fries, Bran's favorite hotdog, nachos, pizza, shrimp tempura, and the fried chicken. Mayroon ding inumin na tila champagne at juice.
The garden was illuminated by solar Christmas lights that twinkled all around. The lights at the bottom of the pool were also on, so the water appeared to be changing colors. I also noticed that there was a huge projector screen set up in front of the pool. I already know that it was Bran who suggested watching whatever he wanted here.
"Daddy, what time is it? Why is mommy taking so long to come home?" tanong ni Bran na matapos lunukin ang hotdog ay kumuha naman ng manok.
"Nine-sixteen. Don't worry, mommy will be here in a bit."
"Okay po. But aren't you hungry? You haven't eaten anything since earlier. Are you waiting for mommy?"
"Yes. And I'll finish this first." Vadik was already sweating because he's been busy for a while now. He approached the grill and took what was being cooked there. He put them on the plate.
He abruptly took off his black sando, and I almost shrieked if I hadn't covered my mouth immediately.
Ampotchingina! Walang warning.
I want to turn around, lock myself in the room, and just let the two of them bond.
Pero hindi ko magawa ang tumalikod. Hindi ko rin maihakbang ang mga paa palapit.
Pinanood ko si Vadik na inilagay ang sando niya sa lounger chair habang nasa isang palad ang plato. Nakatalikod siya sa akin kaya malaya ang mga mata kong pagmasdan ang kanyang buong katawan.
He regularly opts for clothing that has long sleeves. And we don't get to see each other often. So, it's only now, in my lucid state, that I have seen him almost naked.
All he wears now are a pair of swimming trunks. It isn't too short, but I can see some hair on his legs. He's a mixed-blood, so it's not surprising that he is a massive man. His shoulders are broad, and his back is toned. He's not too bulky because of his height, but not too skinny either. His upper arms, back, and legs are well-defined with the perfect muscles and glorious veins popping out in the right places.
