Comrades in Action Book 2: Aiden Montaniez

A taste of his own medicine

"Babe... I swear, it was an accident.."

Nanatili lang ang tingin ko sa daan. I didn't spare him any glance. Kaninang umaga ay maaga niya akong sinundo sa bahay. A-attend ako ng binyag ng anak ni Jacky na si Hailey.

I din't call him dahil balak kong sumabay na lang sana kay Dani. Ewan ko nga kung paano niya nalaman ang lakad ko ngayong araw. I'm sure it has something to do with mom and tita.

Isa pang bagay kung bakit as much as possible ay ayaw kong makita siya sa bahay ay dahil nadoon din sina tita at mommy. I haven't forgotten tita's threat. Pag nalaman niyang may tampuhan kami, baka bukas makita ko na lang sa tabloid ang mga letrato namin ni Aiden na magkapatong sa kama. Ugh!

"Babe.. please.. talk to me.."

Ipinikit ko ang mga mata ko para hindi niya makita ang sakit doon. Shit lang! Eto na naman eh... eto na naman kami..

"Fine, if you don't wanna talk, just hear me out.." he said. Desperation was on his voice. I remained silent. "Pumunta siya sa office ko dahil may ipapapirma siya. When I was done signing the papers, paalis na sana siya ng bigla siyang matapilok.. I got up and helped her. Sakto namang bumukas ang pintuan at pumasok kayo.. iyon talaga ang nangyari.. please... believe me..."

I looked at him. He held my gaze. His eyes are pleading me to believe him. I want to tell him I believe you... I have trust in you.. I just don't trust your judgement when it comes to her. And I want you to realize that..

Iyon ang gusto kong sabihin sa kanya pero itinikom ko na lang ang bibig ko. I was jelous as fuck! Magsisinungaling ako kung sasabihin kong okay na... na ayos na kami pagkatapos ng explanation niya. But I'm not okay and I'm still pissed!

"Babe--

Ikinabit ko ang earphone sa tenga ko saka pumikit ulit. Pero bago iyon ay hindi nakatakas sa pandinig ko ang isang malutong na mura galing dito.

Nagising ako sa isang marahan na haplos sa aking pisngi.

"Babe, wake up..We're here.."

I just moaned at the touch at matutulog pa sana ulit kung hindi lang sa isang mahinang tawa na tuluyang nagpagising sa akin. My eyes remained closed. I want it to go on.. His laugh brings that mushy feeling inside of me. Every little thing he do gives one hell of a reaction to my being..

Iyong tipo na para bang nasa roller coaster ka lagi. He makes me feel these weird things when he smiles, winks, laughs, even when he simply calls me babe, love, sweetheart.. he makes my insides turn into knots.. he makes my heartbeat fast.. and just thinking of him with another woman makes go crazy as hell.

He makes me feel things I've never felt before..

Sometimes it's good.. sometimes it's bad.. but with him, even the bad turns good..

I just simple love him like crazy..

"Nica!"

Napalingon kaming dalawa sa sumigaw. Jacky is running towards them with Seph hot on her heels.

"Honey... calm down. Hindi pa magaling ang sugat mo!"

Jacky suddenly stopped and turned to her husband. She rolled her eyes and sighed, "Hon, it already healed. I'm allowed to run even jump. Look---

"Don't you dare.." Ang nagbabantang sabi ni Seph ng akmang tatalon ang asawa.

"Fine.." Jacky pouted.

"Hindi mo naman kasi kelangan pang tumakbo.. sa inyo naman talaga ang diretso namin." Sabi ko.

Jacky just grinned at her. "I can't help it! I'm so excited to show her to you bru.. she's soooo cute... and adorable.. but she likes pink! Ugh! I hate pink and she likes it! She started crying when I swapped her pink bib to a purple bib!" Kwento nito na ikinatawa ko.
