Aki
"Ama."
I was back. This is a place where things were calm and exciting, the temperature neither warm nor chilly, everyone has their space yet was always inevitably connected.
"Salamat at nagbalik ka, Anak."
"Napilitan lang ako, Bathala," I said. Then, smiling mischievously, I added, "Half-charot."
My father gave me a strange look.
"Patawad, Ama. I was just joking."
Bathala gave a hearty laugh. Yes, the Father loved to laugh contrary to some depictions on Earth where he seemed to be all serious and never smiled.
"You are happy," he stated.
I nodded. "Opo. I am."
"It is because of her? Your Alexandra?"
I smiled at the mere mention of my beloved's name. "I do not think she belongs to anyone, but yes, I am happy because of her and she has chosen to accept me."
"Good. I am glad. She has a good heart that one."
"I wish to be with her, Ama. May I stay on Earth for her lifetime and come back with her here when her time on Earth ends?"
Bathala was silent for a little bit. "And what if she comes here and chooses not to be with you? Like with Hiraya?"
I nodded in understanding.
In the Eternity, or heaven as some choose to call it, you are given your own space and you can build it as you wish and choose who to let in. People or couples, who are in love on Earth, still often choose to be together in the Eternity.
Some don't.
That is all I can tell you.
"I will take the risk, Ama. I would take the few years to bask in her love than go a lifetime without it." (Credits: I think this is similar to the line from City of Angels if I'm not mistaken - m)
"I would hate to see your heartbreak again, Anak."
"Ganun naman talaga, di ba, Ama? You deal with it everyday. The human beings you created not loving you back? But, you love them anyway."
He smiled sadly. "Then, you must head back soonest. It has been almost a week on Earth and your Alexandra has been pestering me every minute. She even chants 'Bring back, Aki' in her mind at work."
I chuckled. "Paalam, Ama."
"I will see you soon, Son."

"We have his blessing?" Alexandra asked.
I nodded. "Yes. As long as you stop annoying him."
She giggled. "I knew it! It worked. Thank you, Bathala! Love you pohwz!" But then, she frowned, "Pero anong magiging trabaho mo dito, Aki? Ayoko naman yata na magpunta ka sa mga giyera?"
"I could take jobs in security agencies or something similar. There is a lot of opportunity out there and I am sure I have a lot of experience to back me up."
She launched herself at me and hugged me. "So you won't leave me anymore?"
"No. Never."
"Good."
I decided not to tell her about her option in the Eternity. When the time came that she will face that, she will be free to make the choice. For now, I am happy that she chose to be with me.
"So, tell me what is this MOMOL? Are you sure it will not hurt?"
*
I enjoyed MOMOL and MOMOX very much, but I still dislike the sound of those words.
Alexandra was very patient with me in practicing my kissing. I only knew how to peck. Though I knew of other types, I had never tried it before so I was sloppy and tentative at the start.
She taught me many things, all very pleasurable, but an ongoing debate was the topic of "doing it".
"How do you expect us to have children if we don't?!"
"Not now. We are not married yet, my Love."
"We're engaged. We've been together for awhile now. Aki naman!!!!"
"No."
"Bakit ba - wait a minute, if I get pregnant with your child, may chance bang maging palaka yun?"
I chuckled. Trust Alexandra to be random in the strangest moments. "No."
"Ahas?"
"No."
"Okay good. Game na kasi!"
I now knew she was not pertaining to playing whatever game. I have grown over the years.
"Alexandra, if you are in heat, I can help you with my hands and my mouth as you have taught me, but not with that act."
"Aki, sinabi ko na awatin mo yang bibig mo minsan." Then, she gave an ultimatum. "Sleep with me or I will break up with you."
I rolled my eyes. "Really?"
"No, you know I would never leave you."
"I know," I smiled. I took her in my arms and we kissed.
"Aki, please? I want to make love with you."
I was lost. But, "My Love, I worry. You have told me you have never been with anyone. I may hurt you physically - with my size and my stamina. I do not want to inconvenience you."
Since we had been quite intimate, she knows about my size. It scared her at first but was sure she wanted to try. "Stamina? What do you mean?"
"Well, my... it remains up and hard for longer than human males."
Her eyes widened. "How long?"
"8 hours."
"WOOOOOOOOOOO JACKPOT!!!!"
"Jackpot is feces, correct?"
Alexandra laughed. "No, not this time. Halika na!"
"Where are we going?"
She whispered to me.
Clue: She used 'sandata' and 'warak', too.
