Secret Love (COMPLETED)

Chapter 17

"IBA ANG NGITI ng iba diyan."

Napatingin si Franco kay Kuya Jam. "Huh? Sino?"

"Sino pa ba? Kundi ikaw!" hirit ni Jude.

"Ewan ko sa inyo. Lagi na lang ako."

"Kamusta ang date niyo kahapon? And why is it ngayon lang kayo bumalik kung saan babalik na tayo?" tanong ni Kuya Yan.

"Medyo malayo kasi ang pinuntahan namin kahapon. Kaya ngayon lang ako nakabalik. And besides, mamaya pa naman ang flight natin," aniya at inaayos ang bagahe niya.

"Nakabili ka ba ng pasalubong sa mga magulang mo?"

"Meron naman. But not much, hindi naman sila nang hihingi but just in case, I have some for them," he said and shrug.

"Alam mo, napapansin ko, ewan ko lang, but you barely have no time for us anymore," ani Jude at saka umupo sa tabi ni Kuya Yan. Nakanguso ito at saka umaaktong umiiyak.

Binato niya ito ng unan at sapol ito sa mukha. "Ang drama mo! Tumigil ka at nagaayos pa ako. Isturbo."

Natawa ang mga ito. Tinukso pa siya ng mga ito ulit bago siya iniwan ng mga ito. Nang nagiisa na lang siya ay naalala niya ang nangyari sa pagitan nila ni Aki kagabi. He smile when he remembered the magical night between them. Yes, it was indeed magical.

NASA KWARTO NIYA si Aki habang nakatingin sa cellphone niya. Franco texted her na nasa airport na ang mga ito at saka papaakyat na ng eroplano.

Nag reply siya dito bago humiga ng kama. Naalala niya bigla ang tagpo na namagitan sa kanila kagabi. It was really magical, magical to the point that she never expected to be real. But she wasn't dreaming after all. Franco's kisses makes her feel the reality.

She remembered how gentle Franco to her last night. She almost didn't feel any pain, he made sure that she was at ease when he started to move. Ramdam niya ang bawat pagalalay nito sa kanya and she was happy that she almost cried. Franco kept on whispering 'I love yous' to her everytime he moves. He didn't let her go after they made love. He was still on top of her and looking at her lovingly.

Napahigpit ang hawak niya sa kamay nito when Franco kissed her again. He moved again on top of her and they made love again for the second time. Tahimik na napaluha na siya ng mga sandaling iyon dahil sa sobrang saya.

"Hey, why are you crying? Does it still hurt?" malumanay na tanong nito.

Aki shook her head. She just hugged him and clung on to his back. Franco kissed her forehead and continued on what he was doing.

After that night ay nakatulog sila ng magkayakap. Franco just hugged and kissed her until she fell on to sleep.

"Hija?"

Napatingin siya sa nagsalita. It was her aunt and she was standing right by the door.

"Tita? Kanina pa po ba kayo?"

She smile. "Not long. But I saw you smiling nang pumasok ako."

Napangiti siya. Ngiti ng nahihiya. "S-sorry po. Ano po yun? May kailangan kayo?"

"Wala naman. I just want to ask kung kamusta ang date niyo ni Franco."

Pakiramdam niya ay namula ang mukha niya.

"It was okay, tita. We enjoyed."

"I see. Sa ngiti mo nga kanina ay parang sobra pa sa enjoy."

"Tita talaga."

Tumawa ito. "Okay then. The three of us will have dinner outside. Since aalis ka na bukas, tayong tatlo muna ang magbabonding. Okay?"

"Okay. Magaayos na ako."
