So I Married The Mafia Boss 2: Symbiosis

Epilogue

"Perhaps it is fated that I will have feelings for you." — Sydney Fabian/Daniella Oliveros

*****

Hendrix's Point of View

Love is not an equation. Hindi rin pwedeng kontrata lang at hindi lahat ay nagtatapos sa magandang katapusan. Life sometimes became too much.

Hindi na ito ngayon kasinungalingan. Hindi na isang laro. Sydney Fabian is now my bride for the second time. Napuno ang hall ng mga bisita. The two clans is now being united. Beehive and Trifolium.

Invited guests attended with honor. Grateful that I had make her my wife. Our second marriage is bound with love. And I'm proud I was the only one to call her mine.

Nang gabing iyon matapos ang seremonya, wala ni isang tao sa event na iyon ang hindi mapapatingin sa bride. At ako — Damn, isa ako sa kanila. May nakikipag-usap sa akin subalit hindi ko makuhang makinig.  All my attention was focused on my Sydney.

Nag excused ako sa mga bisitang nakapalibot sa akin, heading towards the one that my wife was standing at. Nakikipag kwentuhan ito kila Nina na nagko-congratulate sa kanya.

In my damn mind,  I wished to take her away that very moment.

"Excuse me ladies," inabot ko ang kamay ni Sydney, habang ang isa ay pumalibot sa kanyang beywang. "May I steal my bride for a dance?"

"Oh, sure." Ani Nina.

"Tsk. You have so much time with her so bakit aagawin mo agad siya sa kwentuhan namin?"

Of course, it was my sister that spoke. Sumimangot ito nang kuhanin ko ang asawa ko at dinala sa gitna upang makihalo sa mga taong sumasayaw.

"I'm using every control that left with me being not to steal you for my bed." Pagbibiro ko.  Agad na bumalot ang pamumula sa mukha ni Sydney sa sinabi ko kaya inangat ko na lang ang kamay niya at inilagay sa balikat ko upang simulan na namin ang pagsasayaw.

She know very well how little control I had around her.

"H," hinila ko siya palapit sa akin ng banggitin niya ang pangalan ko. Ngumiti sa malamig na tawang lumabas sa kanyang bibig. "Baka marinig ka nila."

Her arms went around my neck.

Hinawakan ng aking daliri ang kanyang labi. I am insanely resisting to simply slam my lips against hers and kiss her senseless.

Mas pinalala niya ang problema ko nang hinalikan niya ang daliring iyon saka lumayo at binelatan ako.

I was holding my breath thinking that it was a way of holding onto my control. But fucking hell, she's daring me too the fullest.

Damn, pa ako makakapokus sa music ngayon kung ang nasa utak ko ngayon ay tuluyan siyang kaladkarin palayo at idala sa kwarto.

H, you naughty bastard! I talk to myself.

Ngumisi siya sa akin lalo na't isang pulgada lang ang inilayo ng mukha namin sa isa't isa.

This time, wala akong panahon para Ngumiti when all I wanted to do at that point was take her in my arms.

"What the hell are you trying to make me do, Sydney?"

Oh, syempre alam ko kung ano ang gusto kong mangyari. Gusto ko lang marinig ang kasagutan niya.

Nagseryoso ang mukha niya nang pagmasdan ang mukha ko. Her lips were once again daring in front of mine when she pushed herself on her tiptoes, pushing her hands against my chest. Ngayon, gusto ng humiwalay sa sanity sa aking katawan.

"I'm just a teasing you, Hendrix, and guess what?" Pinanood ko ang paggalaw ng kanyang labi. "Panalo na ako."

She was. Panalo na talaga siya at ako baliw na ngayon. But I'm willing to lose to her.

Inilapit ko siyang lalo sa akin. Napalunok siya. Sa puntong iyon, whose resistance will break first? Fuck, I know it was mine.

Pruweba doon ang paghalik ko sa kanya. Giving me access and allowing me to violate her lips with me.

Her gentle hands were on the sides of my face as she tried keeping up with the kiss. Our lips performed that kiss slower, but the hunger refuse to disappear.

"I have you whom I can show my weaknesses and my most embarrassing side. Ang alam ko lang, hinding-hindi na kita pakakawalan pa."

"Quit teasing me, H. It's driving me insane."

"Hindi ba dapat ako ang magsabi niyan sayo?"

"After you defrost my heart now it becomes boiling hot." Ngumuso si Sydney.

Napahagikhik ako sa tinuran ng aking asawa.

"I love you so much, Hendrix." Her voice filled the silence, gentle and feminine.

"Perhaps its 100% fated that I will have feelings for you." Gatong pang muli ni Sydney.

"Come here..." Sabi ko sabay pasubaling hila sa kanya para muli siyang makulong sa aking braso. Hinilig niya ang ulo sa akin at itinago ang mukha sa aking dibdib.

"I think I'm more in love with you, Sydney." Pahayag ko saka hinalikan ang kanyang buhok.

Life has a silly way of working things out. Lahat ng tao ay nagkakamali. Ang iba pa nga ay dinaragdagan pa iyon at pinalalala kahit alam niyang sober na.  Pero maaaring gawing challenge ang mga pagkakamaling iyon. Ang isang bagay na natututunan mo... that mistakes do not define who you are, but it's your ability to make those mistakes into lessons.

I know whatever was going to happen in the future would be okay as long as I was with her, feeling as giddy as I do right now. To create the most passionate connection we have.
