525 OSS: Love Beyond Cameras

4: Masarap

Kathryn's

"Bal, ang sarap sa feeling no?" DJ suddenly asked me.

I immediately dropped the stiletto I was removing from my foot and faced him, "Yeah, super."

Sumandal ako sa back seat, stretching my leg, as I curl and uncurl my toes. "Relaxing," I whispered.

Nakarinig naman ako ng tawa kaya napalingon ako sa kaniya, "O, bakit ka tumatawa diyan Daniel?" I asked, feigning ka-malditahan.

Napailing muna siya before he patted his lap, "Come Love, upo ka here."

As I tried to move towards him, kaagad naman niya ako inalalayan.

"O diba? Hindi tayo olats dito Bal." He said habang inaayos ko ang pagkakaupo ko sa lap niya.

Bigla naman kaming may narinig na malakas na busina kaya napalingon ako sa manibela.

"Ay! Sorry sorry." I said at tinanggal ang forearm ko na nakadantay pala sa manibela.

He just smiled at me and kissed my forehead. "Ako na diyan." He told me and reached for my right foot.

Tinanggal niya yung isa ko pang stiletto at hinagis sa shotgun seat. "Relaxing ba Bal?"

"Yes, thank you Love." I said as I gave him a peck on his lips.

"Pero Bal, ang sarap sa feeling no?" He asked me again.

Sinandal ko ang ulo ko sa balikat niya as his right hand starts to caress my knee, and said, "Ulit uli Bal?"

"What I meant was, ang sarap sa feeling na alam na nila na tayo."

"For more than 5 years," Dagdag ko.

"Yes. For more than 5 years and forevermore." He joked.

"Yuck! Ang cheezy!" I said after I gently slapped his chest.

My hand stayed there.

"Cheezy cheezy, kilig ka lang eh." Hirit niya ulit that earned him another light hampas. 

"At least, alam na ng ibang girls na you belong to me kaya hindi ka na nila pwedeng pagnasaan." I rolled my eyes even if hindi niya makikita.

I felt the vibration on my cheek when he laughed and said, "Pagnanasaan talaga Bal? Lalim nun ah."

"O talaga. I can see their tweets regarding your biceps, your soon-to-have abs, and most especially, your toot which is always bakat." I rolled my eyes again, making sure na this time, makikita na niya.

Kaagad siyang humalakhak ng napakalakas to the point na baka marinig na sa labas ng basement parking.

"Ewan ko sa'yo. Doon na lang ako uupo sa kabila, away from you." I threatened him at tatayo na sana nang hilahin niya ako paupo ulit sa lap niya.

"Matutusok ka lang sa puwet ng stiletto mo doon Bal." He reasoned out habang nagpipigil ng tawa.

"Bakit, dito ba sa inuupuan ko I'm not being poked?" I told him as I raised my eyebrow.

For a moment, he stopped laughing but when he realized what I meant...

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! TANGI HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!HAYOP!!!"

At nang makahinga na ulit siya...

"Stiletto or ito?" Tanong niya sa akin at itinuro pa ang toot.

Ayun, tuwang-tuwa na naman si Lolo Danyel.

"Love naman eh!" Natatawa kong sabi.

Kaagad naman niya akong niyakap ng sobrang sikip, "Loko lang Bal, loko lang."

"Goddamn, I love you." He added as he tightened his hug even more.

"And you know that I will always choose you and I will always love you too, no matter what." I said and I felt his lips on my forehead.

"Ikaw lang nakakapagpatawa sa akin ng ganito Mahal, ikaw lang," He kissed my nose, "And yung mga babae sa Twitter? Do not mind them, hanggang doon lang sila." He said.

"Pero nababastos ka rin nila at ayoko nu'n Mahal." I said at tinignan siya sa mata.

He smiled at me and held my cheek, making me close my eyes a little.

"Hindi ba sabi ko noon sa Twitter, 'di bale ng ako ang masaktan, 'wag lang ikaw?"

"Still, ayoko pa rin ng nagaganu'n ka. Pitikin ko sila eh." Pagmamaktol ko na ikinatawa niya ulit.

"Kyot kyot mo talaga Bali," At pinisil niya ang mga pisngi ko hanggang sa matawa na ako, "But don't worry sa akin, malakas ako, malakas tayo." He said na nakapagpangiti pa lalo sa akin.

"Malakas tayo." I repeated his words.

And as if on cue, his lips landed on mine and our hearts started to beat erratically, creating a loud orchestra of love.
