Embracing the storm
My relationship with Hayes continues. Naging ganoon pa rin ang set-up naming dalawa. Kung dati ay madalang lang siyang umaalis ngayon ay halos araw-arawin niya na. Hindi na kami nakakalabas dalawa dahil doon.
Isinara ko ang zipper ng pantalon ko at umayos ng upo sa shot gon seat. I am dripping wet. My beathing is not yet stable and I am sweating bullets. And when we have time, we always end up like this. Pakiramdam ko ay nagkikita na lang kami para magsex.
"Here."
Nag-abot sa akin ng tissue si Hayes habang inaayos din ang kaniyang sarili. I can't belive that we make love in his car in the parking lot! Not to mention, it is fucking 7 in the morning!
Nanginginig kong kinuha iyon sa kaniya at pinunasan ang sarili ko. After we tried it for the first time, I can't belive that we've been doing it more often everytime he comes home. I know that it is unprotected sex but we are always careful. We trust the withdrawal method. It always work.
"What time is your last class?"
"Uhm, 3pm."
He nodded. "Let's have some dinner."
"Really?" tanong ko.
Nakaramdam ako kaagad ng excitement. Ang tagal na rin noong huli naming labas ni Hayes.
Palagi na kasing nauudlot dahil may biglaan siyang pinupuntahan. Inexpect ko na rin ang ganito dahil graduating siya. At isa pa, kabilang siya sa angkan ng mga Espinoza. Kilala ko rin si Don Nicolas na mausisa sa negosyo. Hindi na rin nakapagtataka dahil isa ang pamilya nila sa pinakasuccessful pagdating sa business. L
"Yeah. Sabay na tayong pumunta ro'n.""You don't have class?" Tanong ko.
"I have but I'll be out by 12. I am badly need in our farm." He said using his tried voice.
Halos mangayayat na nga ito dahil sa pagod at stress but still, he kept on saying that he was okay. Sometimes, I was sleeping in their resthouse to prepare him some foods. He barely managed to take care of himself.
"Oh, okay."
He held my hand and squeezed it. "I'm sorry. I'll make it this time."
I forced a smile. "It's okay. I understand."
Palaging ganoon ang routine kasi. Magyayaya siya ng gala, papayag ako agad kahit na medyo hectic ang sched ko. I should grab every opportunity na free siya. Pero bilang na lang siguro sa daliri ang natutuloy sa mga lakad na iyon.
Katulad last summer. We planned to go abroad. Nakapagpaalam na siya kay mama at papa. Nakapag-impake na rin ako. I even ask for Lene's help since sa Maldives ang punta namin. But last minute, we had no choice but to cancel it. When I asked him why, he just told me that there's an emergency. He refused to tell it to me in details.
Inintindi ko. Iyon ang kailangan ni Hayes ngayon kaya ginagawa ko. Pero nakakapagod din kasi minsan, aaminin ko. Syempre, mag-eexpect akong makakapagsolo kami tapos biglang hindi pala tuloy.
"May quiz?" tanong ko agad kay Bella pagkapasok ng room.
Paano ba naman kasi halos lahat ng blockmates ko ay nag-aaral at nagkakabisado. Ako lang ata ang walang ginagawa, parang may mali.
"Oo raw sabi ng kabilang block. Sabi nila 100 items daw."
"100 items!?"
"Nakakaloka diba."
Nataranta ako sa tinuran ni Bella. Muli akong nag-scan sa mga past lessons namin kay Mr. Eduardo. Kahit na alam ko ang basic concepts sa subject nito, ang hirap pa ring sumugal at dumepende sa stock knowledge. Ano ba kasing aasahan ko sa stock knowledge e wala na rin akong stock na gano'n!? Third year na ako, hindi na dapat ako papetiks petiks pa!
