You Were Never Mine

Chapter Two

Yvette's P.O.V.

Natapos ang kainan at agad akong dumiretso sa kwarto ko. Pagpasok ko, walang ni-isang gamit ang nalipat sa puwesto. The shade of coffee paint theme of my room, the indoor plants and the carpeted floor remained the same. The minimalist decorations are still hanging. My pictures and medals are there.

Everything.

It remained the same and I hate it. Every corner of the room reminds me of Nathan sneaking in and hiding inside my closet kapag bigla bigla na lang papasok si Mommy.
Every memories they've spent together were vivid in her memory, but the person— wala. Wala siya.

At hindi niya alam kung iniisip rin siya nito.

Kaagad kong ibinagsak ang katawan ko sa malambot kong kama. Malinis ang kwarto at talagang pinaghandaan ang pag-uwi ko. Iniisip ko kung ano pang mas sasaya kung nandito rin si Iñigo at sumasalubong din sa akin ng yakap at halik.

That would be perfect.

But I guess, nothing's perfect as well as Iñigo doesn't exist anymore.

I'm now an Architect. I wonder if he's already an Engineer like he dreamed to be? Nakukuha ko na ang mga pangarap ko. Is he doing well? Is he succeeding too? Kagaya ng mga sabay naming pinangarap?

Flashback...

(2013)

Yvette is sitting on her bed while waiting for her lover to come. Tumayo siyang muli at naglakad ng pabalik pabalik. Naikot na niya ang buong kwarto niya. She's nervous lagi kapag mga ganitong oras.

Paano ba naman kasi, Iñigo will sneak inside her room sooner or later today, kaya hindi siya mapakali.

Paano na lang kung mahuli siya ng Mommy niya?

Maya maya pa, may narinig siyang katok mula sa pintuan at dahan dahan niyang binuksan iyon. At nang makita niyang si Iñigo iyon habang may dalang plato ng pancake habang matamis na nakangiti sa kaniya, she smiled back and let Igo enter her room.

"Thanks for the pancake effect—"

"Sinong nagsabing sa'yo 'yan? It's mine!" Sabi ng binata kaya lumungkot ang mukha niya.

"Lumabas ka nga rito!" Pagtaboy niya sa binata, pero tumawa lamang ito at agad na tinanggal ang pang-taas niyang damit. It is his hobby to be half naked when he's in her room. — na gustung gusto naman ni Yvette, of course!

Who wouldn't want to see a masculine man na mamawis-mawis, pero lalo lang bumabango nang dahil sa pawis?

That's Yvette.

"Oh? Bakit hindi mo na'ko pinapalabas? Hmp! You only want me for my body! Hmp!" he acted like a baby.

He's so cute.

"Aba't nagpapa-baby ka na naman, hijo." Yvette acted like a grandma taking care of her favorite apo.

"But I'm your baby, so it's fine." Iñigo kissed Yvette's lips until he reached for her neck. Sabay silang bumagsak sa kama and they found themselves hugging each other habang nakahiga sa kama.
