You're Mine

Chapter 12

The sun was about to set when she left home for the party. When she reached the place, her eyes roamed around the cozy area. Bridal shower is out of her vocabulary but her friends insisted to organize the party for her.

Jasmine noticed her presence. SSoon other girls came out and welcome her with all smiles plastered in their lips. Hugged her one by one.

"You should enjoy this once in a lifetime bridal shower. We prepared lots of macho boys for you." Sabrina giggled and held her in.

"Yup! Marami kaming hinanda para sa'yo." Carlin said. "I tell you, this is going to be fun!" She added and beamed.

Shailine just laugh although inside she had no idea what would be happen or what surprises they prepared for.

While joining the crowd, a dozen of shirtless men came out from nowhere. Girls yelling, beaming and giggling as boys began to dance. They ramp one by one in front of her and do the sexy dance. She narrowed eyes to all her friends who also yelling and really enjoying scene.

She looked at them, "Girls, did your husbands knows what you are up to?"

They all laughed and giggled.

"No, girl. Let's enjoy this, don't mind them."

She covered her face and chuckled. So there's no way out but to enjoy the night. She thought.

When the party was near end. Patricia told her to get inside the hotel room for their last surprised. She felt a bit nervous. Clueless of what surprise all about. Bago humakbang ay lumingon siya sa mga kaibigan. Nakapaskil sa labi ng mga ito ang totoong mga ngiti. Suminyas ang mga ito na pumasok siya sa loob. Humugot siya ng malalim na paghinga bago pinihit ang katawan patalikod.

She turned the knob to open the door. There's nothing she could see but the darkness that enveloped the whole room. Bumangon ang kakaibang kaba sa dibdib niya nang maamoy ang isang pamilyar na pabango. Kinapa niya ang ilaw ngunit hindi iyon matagpuan. Napapiksi siya ng may humawak sa kamay. Hindi na niya kailangan pang makita para malaman kung sino ang nasa loob.

He pulled her. Pinagdikit nito ang kanilang katawan. Nanigas siya sa kinatatayuan. Dinig na dinig niya ang malakas na tibok ng puso ng kaharap.

Napasinghap siya ng kapain nito ang kamay niya na nakahawak pa rin sa door knob at isarado ang pinto.

"What are you doing, Matthew?" She tried to pushed him. Pero mahigpit ang pagkahawak sa kanya ng binata. "Mali ito, Matt!"

"May nangyari sa atin, Sha."

"It happened once at hindi na iyon mangyayari. Pero gusto kong malaman mo na hindi ko pinagsisihan ang bagay na ibinigay ko sa'yo."

"Kung ganoon iwan mo siya."

"Please... turn on the light, Matthew." Sa halip ay utos niya.

Huminga ng malalim ang binata bago siya bitawan. Maya-maya lang ay kumalat ang liwanag sa kabuoan ng silid. Si Matt ay mataman na nakatangin sa kanya, nasa magkabilang bulsa nito ang dalawang kamay.

"Leave him and come back to me, Sha. Alam kong hindi mo siya mahal."

Sinalubong ni Shailine ang tingin ni Matt na para bang tumatagos sa likod, "mahal ko si Jerome, Matt." Sagot niya ng nakataas noo. Kaso mukhang hindi kombinsido ang tono niya.

Nagpasalamat siya sa isip na hindi nautal ng bigkasin ang salitang mahal.

Pagak na tumawa si Matthew. At humakbang papalapit sa kanya, tumigil ito ng ilang pulgada sa harap. Inilibot nito ang mga mata sa buo niyang mukha pagkatapos ay tumigil sa kanyang labi. Napalunok siya nang wala sa oras.
