The Path of Longing 🔞 (BINI MACOLET)

CHAPTER 33: Days in Bali

Mason

It's currently our third day in Bali and we we're enjoying the place so far. We spent most of our days on the beach and roaming around. We even rented a scooter and travelled to a lot of restaurant and cafes. 

We decided to learn surfing yesterday and that explains our plans for today which was to just stay and rest our tired bodies from all the surfing activities that drained the shit out of us. We only planned to enjoy the pool in our private villa. Our friends, Maverick, Ainsley (and their kid), Selena, Jaziel, Gabrielle, and Seraphine, also decided to do the same but we're staying on different villas. 

Napagkasunduan naming lahat na mag-bar hopping mamayang gabi so we can enjoy the active nightlife in here. Maverick and Ainsley would also come with us dahil kasama naman nila ang personal yaya ni Maliyah. 

Me and my fiancé are currently situated on a lounge chair, enough to fit the both of us. She was laying her head on my chest as my arms are wrapped all over her figure. Malory is busy on choosing tons of photo that she plans to upload on her Instagram account while I was occupied on staring at her phone as well, examining every photo that she wants to upload. 

"Exclude that." I pointed on her screen, annoyance evident on my voice.

Malory tilted her head upwards to meet my eyes before speaking.

"Why? Ang ganda kaya ng suot kong two piece rito!" 

"That's the whole point! I don't want them to see what's mine." 

"Boo kj. Sayang naman awra ko dyan cute pa ng two piece ko oh yellow! Please, love let me post it" Malory said staring at me with her pleading eyes. Naka-pout pa porket alam niyang isa sa kahinaan ko yun pagdating sa kanya. 

"No, ayoko bahala ka dyan." I closed my eyes, pretending to sleep until she subtly hit my chest. 

"Bahala ka rin! Ipo-post ko to sa ayaw at sa gusto mo" 

When Malory was about to hit the 'post' button, I quickly snatched her phone and placed it behind my back which made her stand up in annoyance. She straddled me trying to reach for her phone pero pinigilan ko ang mga kamay niya at hinawakan ito ng madiin. 

"Ano ba, uyab! Give it back isa!" She continued her attempts to snatch her phone away habang nakaupo sa lap ko pero hindi ko siya hinayaan. Mas lalo kong diniinan ang hawak ko sa mga kamay niya at maya-maya pa ay naramdaman ko ang pagtigil ng mga kilos niya. 

When I looked at her face, I saw how her reaction shifted. Kung kanina ay puno ito ng pagka-irita, ngayon ay parang inaakit niya ko habang tinititigan ng malagkit. I felt my buddy react with just her mere eyes. 

"Uyab, a-ayoko nga kasi na i-post mo yun. I'll give you back your phone basta you'll promise me na you won't include that picture of yours in just your two piece."  

Instead of answering, she slowly closed the gap between us and kissed me passionately. Sobrang mahina ako sa kanya kaya agad kong ginantihan ang mga halik niya at unti-unting binitawan ang mga kamay niya para ipatong ang dalawang kamay ko sa bewang niya. 

She nibbled on my lips which made me open my mouth to welcome her tongue inside. I was so lost in our kisses at hindi ko napansing nakuha niya na pala ang cellphone sa likod ko. Nang makuha niya ito, agad siyang kumalas sa halik at tumayo para tumakbo sa loob ng villa. 

"You and your ways! Porket alam mong bumibigay ako sayo. Come back here, uyab!" I chased her and once I trapped her between my arms, she tried pushing my chest and attempted to escape pero hindi siya umubra dahil hinigpitan ko ang hawak sa bewang niya. Napansin ko naman na nakikiliti siya dahil doon pinakamalakas ang kiliti niya. 

"Hina mo naman pala sakin, Mason Nicolai! Ganon palang nanigas ka na agad" After exclaiming that, her melodic laughter echoed around our villa which made me chuckle dahil totoo naman. Sumaludo agad ng onti ang junior ko. Alam na alam kung sino ang amo niya na para bang hindi ako. 

To get back on her for teasing me, I tickled her sides and even on her armpit which made her mouth produce uncontrollable laughter. She tried to avoid my tickles pero dahil sabay ang nararamdaman niyang kiliti at pagtawa, unti-unti siyang nanghina at nang mapansin kong namumula na ito at hirap nang makahinga, I stopped tickling her and guided her to sit on the edge of our bed.

"Sige, i-post mo sinasabi ko sayo" I tried threatening her but she only flashed a teasing smile towards me and raised one of her brows. 

"Oh sige anong sasabihin mo?"

"Wag mong i-post kasi ano.."

"Ano, Mason? Speak up." 

"K-kasi kawawa naman ako" I pouted. I don't show this side of me at talagang si Malory lang ang nakaka-witness nito. When she noticed the pout on my lips, she quickly placed a peck on it at ngumiti. 

Ang ganda ganda talaga ng fiancé ko.

She cupped both of my cheeks dahil hindi parin nawawala ang pagsimangot ng mukha ko. 

"Alright, I won't post it na. Para kang bata. Ano naman pati kung makita ng iba? It won't change the fact that I'm already yours, uyab." She exclaimed lovingly. I always love it when we address each other as 'uyab'. It feels domestic for me and it only encourages me to spend all of my living days with her. 

I can already imagine us settling in one house, with our kids running around and playing with our pets. We both love animals and we would like to have one. There is another surprise waiting for Malory back in the Philippines. Isa rin sa dahilan kung bakit ako na-busy the past few months was because I was looking for an ideal home for the both of us. I initially planned to ask her to move in with me in one of my penthouse but I figured that it would be much special if we live in a new place to make it more memorable. I eyed a lot of properties with the help of Gabrielle and after weeks of looking, I finally found a perfect one for us. 

Malory once mentioned na ayaw niya ng masyadong malaking bahay dahil kawawa raw ang maglilinis kahit binanggit ko naman sa kanya na we can hire tons of maids. Pero sabi niya, ayaw niya raw silang mahirapan if ever at gusto niya na tatlo lang ang katulong para lahat ay di gaanong mahirapan sa lahat ng kailangang linisin at asikasuhin. Because of that, I bought a three storey modern architecture house. I also made sure that it has a pool and balcony on it for us to relax whenever we want. It also has a large garage, enough to fit my daily car, Malory's car, sports car, and a van that we often use kapag nagala with our friends. 

But I plan to announce it to Malory after we get married in Santorini. It was also one of Malory's dream place at sisiguraduhin kong isa yun sa mga choices once we start planning on our marriage. 


Malory's breathing has calmed down and we are now lying on the bed, bodies tangled against each other. She was just wearing an oversized shirt of mine habang naka-sports bra lang ako at nakasuot ng swim shorts because we plan to have our swimming time later on. A thought suddenly popped in my mind. 

"Uyab? I have something to say." 

"Hmm what's that?" She looked at me and waited for what I was about to say. I wiped some of her hair and tucked it behind her ear before speaking. 

"Buntisin na kaya kita rito? I want us to have a child already." I said casually, as if it was the most random thing that I can say out of nowhere. Bakas ang pagkagulat sa mukha niya at hinampas niya ng bahagya ang dibdib ko. 

"Wow?! Really out of nowhere? Ikaw yang mga pumapasok sa utak mo" She rolled her eyes at me ngunit pinagpatuloy ko ang pangungulit sa kanya. 

"Why? Ayaw mo bang magka-anak na tayo? You know para after our wedding and our honeymoon since susubukan kita ulit buntisin non edi baka twins pa maging anak natin" 

"Anong twins ka dyan! Akala mo ba madali manganak tsaka isa pa gusto ko pag kasal na tayo tsaka mo ko buntisin" 

"Ehh para advanced ngayon na natin gawin. So after a few years, we'll have our collection of little Malory and little Mason running around the house" I said, even winking at her. 

"Anong collection collection. Balak mo ba akong gawing palahian? Ilan bang anak gusto mo? Sampu? Tumigil ka, uyab nagdidilim paningin ko sayo" 

"Yeah, sampu pwede. Para 5 little Mason and 5 little Malory!" I clapped both of my hands while smiling sheepishly, already imagining the possible facial features of our future kids. 

"Hoy! Maawa ka naman sakin. Ako ang magbubuntis kaya ako ang magde-decide. Kahit marami ka pang pera para buhayin lahat ng ia-anak ko there's more to that. Mentally and physically ready ka na ba?"
