LEAF OF FAITH

Kabanata XLVII

"She is beautiful" sabi ni Shawn habang tinitignan niya ang sketch na pinagawa ko, it was his idea na ipasketch ko daw yung babae sa panaginip ko, meron kasi kami kakilala na artist na kuhang kuha ang pag drawing ng mukha ng isang tao by merely describing the person

Kinuha ko ang sketch sa kanya na, nainis ako agad dahil sa papuri niya sa babae, ang gusto ko ako lang ang nakakakita ng ganda niya, ang gusto ko ako lang pupuri sa kanya, tumawa naman si Shawn at umiling iling habang pinapanood niya ako haplusin ang sketch

Ang galing talaga ng artist na kakilala namin, kuhang kuha niya ang description ko. The girl in my dreams has a porcelain skin, having a subtle translucence that seems to glow, she has a heart - shaped face and a gently tapered jawline and a high cheekbone.

She has an almond - shaped eyes, often mistaken as black but when the sun reflects, you can see that it is a deep dark brown in color. Her long hair, a rich shade of black, cascades in soft waves down her shoulder. Her lips are full and tinted a soft rose, and I know it is soft because even though I only kiss her in my dream I can feel how soft it was!

What makes it even more weird is that hindi ko siya napapanaginipan kapag hindi ako nakikipag sex sa ibang babae, sometimes I will find a woman para maka one night stand ko para mapanaginipan ko lamang siya. I don't know it is like she is reminding me that she is just out there, waiting for me.

Minsan naasar si Bella kapag kasama ko siya during vacation niya with me at meron akong babae kasama, Hindi niya lang alam that I need a girl in order to have a dream of that mysterious and beautiful girl. Nababaliw na ata ako, pero hindi ako nagsisisi I always tell to those girls I bedded that it is only for a one night.

Sometimes when I look at the girl too long, nag iiba ang anyo nila, nagiging siya sila, and then without a word I will pull them and give them some passionate sex

"Haist daddy! Buti wala ka ngayon kasamang babae" aniya ni Bella ng sunduin ko siya sa airport dito sa Paris, she is now incoming second year college sasagot sana ako ng bigla siya lumayo at nakipag video call I bet iyon best friend nanaman niya ang ka video call niya

Finally napakilala ko na din si Shawn sa anak ko, matagal ko na gusto ipakilala si Bella sa kanya, pero nawawalan lang ng pagkakataon pero at least nakita na ni Shawn ang babaeng mahalaga sa akin

Bella grew up to be an outspoken lady, kaya nagulat ako ng ipakilala ko siya kay Shawn she was suddenly shy and timid, well I can't blame her, Shawn's aura is a little bit intimidating.

"Daddy nasa New York si mommy, I wanted to visit her, okay lang ba na pumunta ako, three days lang naman dad then balik ako dito sa Paris" sabi ni Bella one time habang nag didinner kaming tatlo

"Actually meron akong need gawin sa New York next week sabay ka na sa akin" sabi ko habang umiinom ako ng wine

"Yeah! Daddy you're the best talaga!" Sabay yakap sa akin ng anak ko, pero nagsisi agad ako bakit binisita ko pa si Irene dito sa New York, she is begging me to come back in her life, pero ayoko na. Marami ako pinagdaanan ng naging kami three years with her is like three years in hell, the only good that happened during our relationship was Bella.

"Mag fofor good ka na ba sa Pilipinas pare?" Tanong ni Shawn habang tinitignan niya ako mag empake, after ng trip ni Bella sa New York tumawag yung manager ko sa Pasig at meron nangyari na needs my immediate attention

"Hindi ko alam, need ko icheck yung company ko doon, ok naman yung sa atin dito sa Paris, may nakadispalko kasi doon sa Pasig branch ko, and may inooffer din si Jayce sa akin, I need to check on it" sabi ko kay Shawn, last week pa nakauwi si Bella sa Pilipinas kung alam ko lang magkakaganito ang company ko sa Pasig sana sumabay na ako kay Bella.
