Chloe Zamora
ANG ancestral house ng mga Zamora ay nasa tabing dagat. Ang Aunt Lisa ko at ang asawa niya na si Uncle Enrico ko ang naninirahan dito. From a small house near the beach, it became a towering three-storey mansion that is overlooking the sea.
Pag-aari ng daddy ang malaking part ng lupa na nakapalibot sa mansion. A property that he never divulged to Janice.
Tuwing umaga, nakagawian ko na ang lumakad sa tabing dagat. Sabi ni Victoria, kailangan ko mag-exercise dahil masyadong malaki ang tinaas ng bigat ko. Hindi na ako ang sexy at voluptous na si Chloe Zamora. Malapit na akong maging balyena sa susunod na mga buwan.
Pagkatapos ko maglakad, umupo ako sa isang white bench malapit sa wooden port. This is my favorite place where I can relax and where I can feel the cold wind soothing my skin. Apparently, being pregnant makes you more tolerable with the cold temperature. Hindi ako nilalamig dahil siguro sa mga maternal fats ko.
I closed my eyes and all I can hear is the sound of the sea. Kung kasama ko ngayon si Luke, complete na siguro ang buhay ko. Habang naalala ko si Luke, hindi ko na namalayan na unti unting tumutulo na naman ang luha ko. At dahil ito sa walang hiyang si Luke Markus Torres.
"Sinong tarantadong lalaki ang nagpaiyak sa'yo, my princess?"
Pagmulat ng mata ko, nakita ko si Luke na nakatayo sa 'di kalayuan. He is wearing his favorite faded pants and white shirt.
Teka, bakit nandito si Luke? Panaginip ba ito?
Mabilis na kumakabog ang puso ko habang papalapit sa akin si Luke. He looks different with his stubble beard as if he did not shave for a while, and yet he looks more dashing than ever.
"Luke?" naguguluhan kong tanong sa kanya.
Gusto ko tumakbo papalapit sa kanya at yakapin siya, pero naalala ko na pag-aari na nga pala ng iba si Luke.
What if he is just dropping by to say hi? What if he will just give me the official invitation for his wedding?
"Princess, you look..." he stopped midway and flashed his adorable smile that instantly took my breath away.
"I look fat?" nakangiti kong tanong sa kanya.
"Chubby lang, pero maganda ka pa din. Kamusta ka na?" tanong niya sabay upo sa tabi ko.
Eto mahal na mahal ka pa rin...
"Exclude the painful urination, unstoppable weight gain, sleepless night, drastic mood swings, I am pretty much fine. Bakit nandito? Paano mo nalaman na nandito ko?"
"Come on, princess. Kailangan mo pa ba itanong sa akin 'yan? You should know me better than now."
"Luke, ano ba talagang ginagawa mo dito?" mahina kong tanong sabay tingin sa dagat.
Pakiramdam ko, iiyak ako ng bonggang bongga kapag tinitigan ko ng matagal si Luke. Hindi ata niya alam na heartbroken ako dahil sa kanya.
"Gusto sana kita makausap tungkol sa mga importante na bagay. And of course, I missed you so fucking much," Luke took my hand and brought it closer to his lips.
"Wala naman tayo dapat pag-usapan, Luke," sagot ko sabay hila ng kamay ko.
"Meron..."
"Wala nga...
"Meron nga..."
"Ang kulit mo, wala nga!"
I must admit, I missed this man so much. Pinipilit ko siya tanggalin sa isip ko, pero hindi ko magawang kalimutan ang lalaking ito.
"Hey, princess. Please don't cry," Luke said as he cupped my face.
"Your services are no longer required. Umalis ka na dito. Ayokong makita ang hilatsa ng pagmumukha mo."
"Ayaw mo ba talaga ko makita? Why do I feel that you are longing to see me? Your blushing cheeks is a dead giveaway."
"And what would you do if that is the case? You did not even dare to contact me after four agonizing months! No fucking email, call, text, nothing, Luke! You made me feel that everything that happened between us is just about your responsibility to my dad! Geez, napaka professional mo noh? Naisip mo ba ko kahit minsan man lang?"
"There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you, princess."
"Feeling mo maniniwala ako sa bola mo? At pwede ba, huwag na huwag mo na kong tatawagin na princess! Hindi ako si Margarette, your real life royal blood fiancee!"
"Ang cute mo kapag nagseselos ka. Halika nga dito," sabi ni Luke na bigla akong hinila palapit sa kanya at niyakap ng mahigpit.
"Cute ako? Ano ko, aso?" bulong ko sa kanya habang humihikbi.
"Huwag ka na umiyak, Chloe. I missed you. Can you just give me a few minutes to enjoy you in my arms?"
"Missed me? Don't you think you are too late for that? Four months, Luke. Four fucking months!"
"Sa pagkakaalam ko, hindi kita iniwan. It was you who left me in Feldkirch, remember?" mapang-asar na sabi ni Luke habang hinahaplos ang buhok ko.
"Bakit ka ba nandito, Luke? Gusto mo ba ng fuck buddy? Tignan mo nga hitsura ko, mukha na akong inahing baboy---"
Luke gently pushed me away and cupped my face again. His lips are almost touching mine. I gathered a massive amount of self-control not to own his lips.
"Princess, I would love to fuck you here, right now, under the morning sun, until we ran out of breath, and yes until forever ends. Pero hinihintay na tayo ng daddy mo."
"Anong ginagawa ng daddy dito?"
"You'll find out soon."
"Luke, tapatin mo nga ko! Bakit ka ba nandito?"
Tears are now falling on my cheeks again. Luke seems so near me, so close, just within my reach. And yet, I am afraid that I will lose him again. Baka mamaya nandito lang siya para magpaalam sa akin ng tuluyan.
"I am here because of this..."
Luke wiped my tears and gently kissed my lips. It seems like both my happiness and my sorrow are colliding because of his kiss. Hindi niya alam na ilang buwan ko pinangarap na matikman uli ang kanyang labi.
The same passionate kiss that makes me feel alive more than ever. The same intensity when I kissed him for the first time.
Is this another addition to my bittersweet memories of Luke? Papa-asahin na naman ba niya ko sa wala?
"Come on, princess. Let us stop for a while before I end up owning you here on this fucking bench," sabi ni Luke sabay hila sa kamay ko.
