Crimson Temptation

KABANATA 2

Shion...

"Oh! Ito na pala ang mag ama! Shion, halika ijo! Come and meet your uncle again!" Sabi ni Mr. Antonio at hinila ako ng marahan papunta sa kanila... I could feel someone's sharp eyes staring at me!

"Shion? Do you still remember him...?" Tanong ni Mr. Antonio... Parang nawalan ako ng ibang choice kundi itaas ang aking ulo, slowly by slowly, tanging mga makikintab at napakalinis lamang nitong mga maitim na black leather shoes na sapatos ang aking nakikita, sa haba ng mga paa alam kong labis pa ang pag tangkad nito after 10 more years of not seeing him again... Unti unti at hanggang sa napunta ang aking tingin sa kanyang looking so meaty thighs, sa lapad at laki nyang mga hita alam kong napakamatipuno nito sa loob ng manipis na black pants nitong suot, hanggang doon sa... Malaki nitong sharft—fuck!? Ano ba itong iniisip ko!? Bat napunta don!? Pinanghinaan ako ng loob at imbis na dumeritso ang tingin sa kanya, umilag na lamang ako at hindi na tumingin pabalik sa kanya... Bahala na! Tanga Kaba Shion!? Bat naman napunta ang usapan doo!? Seriously!? Dahil sa tinding hiya, muli nanamang umalburoto ang dugo ko sa hiya, tumaas pa ito ng tumaas, lagpas pa ata ulo ko nito eh! Pakiramdam ko ay para akong Isang sinindihang kandila at tila ba ay namamayagpag sa hiya at init at unti-unti nangang natutunaw dahit sa init...

"Hahaha baka nahiya lang, Matthew remember him? he's the first person who said 'I love you' to you? It's been... So many years right? HAHAHA!" Mr. Antonio said, halos mamulupot ako sa hiya, to the point where I wish the ground will swallow me whole so I could also hide my pure embarassment.

"Ah, he was still 3 years old back then, let's not talk about it, hindi siya iimik ng lubusan if we'll remind him about the past... He'll get more shy and embarass." Dad said carefully, patting my head gently as I immediately walked behind him, clutching his neat white  Polo shirt...

"Son, could you please just at least say hi to your Tito Matthew? He's been waiting for you ever since he came back here? He also asked how are you now? Since the last time he saw you was when you're just 3 years old?
Aren't you just gonna say hi to him? Or greet him after being away for more than a decade? Come on, don't be shy, Tito Matthew won't eat you hahaha" Sabi ni dad may halong lambing at biro, alam ko naman kung anong pakiramdam ng ganoon, yung bumalik ka tapos may Isang hindi gi-greet...

"H-Hi... Tito M-Matthew..." Sabi ko, natila masmalumanay at parang walang enerhiya kung magsalita, sa init sa batok ko pisngi, at tenga, literal na ang buong katawan ko ay umiinit, lalo na't ramdam ko ang malalim na titig ni tito Matthew sa akin, I may be not looking at him directly, but I could feel his eyes staring directly to my soul, sa hiya at init nanaramdaman nagmukha tuloy akong kinikilig na dalaga.

"Hahaha! Don't worry Shion, para mapanatag ka, sa sabihin ko nalang sayo, na sapag dating na pag dating palang ni Matthew, ikaw na ang una nyang itinanong, ikaw na ang una nyang bukangbibig, I am expecting that you and your Tito Matthew will get along very well, am I understood?" Sabi ni Mr. Antonio looking back and forth between me and tito Matthew... Maybe nga, kahit hindi naman ako nakatingin ni maski kanino sa kanila... Basta dito lang ako sa dad ko.

"I'm sorry Matthew, he still need to adjust... I mean there's no problem at all, wala namang problema o kahit na ano, sadyang mahiyain lang talaga si Shion, especially now that he finally meet the person again after so many years whom he confessed his love after me and his mother. Now, now Shion, behave and don't be naughty, me and your lolo Antonio ay mayroon lang pag-uusapan, maiwan karito, accompany your Tito Matthew, since more guests will arrive..." Sabi nya and caressed my shoulder. Bigla akong nataohan nong napagtanto kong aalis pala siya at maiiwan akong mag-isa dito with Tito Matthew! Hindi!

"But dad! I don't want—" Bigla rin naman akong huminto sa kalagitnaan ng aking pagsasalita after realizing that I sound a bit rude, I mean not logically rude, but it's definitely considered as one. Para kasing nagmumukhang ayaw na ayaw ko Kay tito Matthew that's why it seemed rude... Kahit wala naman siyang... Ginagawa...
