Ashore

I can't help my smile as I stared at the sonogram picture. I caress my tummy again. I still couldn't process that this is all happening now. Parang kailan lang ay wala pang direksiyon ang buhay ko at nagpapatianod lang para sa trabaho. But now... a life is forming inside me.

I am in awe, but I'm a little terrified. Mabilis ang mga pangyayari at ayaw kong ganoon din kabilis bawiin sa akin ang kasiyahang natatamasa ngayon. I know I shouldn't think about this. Maybe I have suffered for so long, so heaven wants to make us even by giving me this happiness all at once.

"Please, let me be happy..." I silently prayed as I intertwined my hands. I know I have sinned, but I am willing to make amends by being a good mother and wife.

Napadilat ako mula sa pagtaimtim na pagdarasal nang umungot ang pinto. Agad na naglaho ang laman ng isip nang lumabas si Kairus ng bathroom. Kakatapos lang niyang mag-shower. He's topless, so the droplets of water are dripping down his toned and ripped muscles.

I swallowed hard at the sudden distraction. Hindi pa ako tapos mangako ay may panibago na namang kasalanan.

My heart quickened as I felt my hormones suddenly raging. Bigla akong hindi mapakali. I frantically kissed the sonogram picture before I slid it back into the envelope and put it inside the drawer.

Napasulyap muli ako kay Kairus. Hindi niya yata napansin na gising na ako. He's getting a new boxer in the drawer now. The towel at his waist is hanging loosely. Parang isang kalabit lang ay mahuhulog iyon sa kaniya. I unconsciously trace the line in the valley of his ripped chest down to his V-line.

I was about to part my lips to inhale when he suddenly snapped his head towards me as if he felt someone was staring at him and drooling.

I immediately tore my eyes off him in shame that he caught me! I relocated to the bed and shut my eyes. Hindi ko alam kung bakit parang nauuhaw ako. Kaso hindi ko alam kung tubig ba ang papawi noon o... siya!

Shit!

Ramdam ko na agad ang kaunting agos ng sensasyon sa gitna ng hita ko. My body feels so hot. I suddenly longed to hold and kiss him.

Anong nangyayari sa akin? Bakit parang sabik na sabik ako sa kanya?!

The doctor told us about this. My sexual hormones will be heightened. Kinagat ko ang pang-ibabang labi ko dahil mukhang nangyayari na nga sa akin. Para akong hayop na hayok sa kung ano.

Lumala pa ang mga kiliti sa tiyan ko nang marinig ang mga yapak niyang papalapit sa akin. Mabilis na bumagsak ang tingin ko sa kaniya at halos mapairap ako nang mapansin ang nanunuya niyang tingin. As if he knew my internal struggle.

He was wiping his hair with another towel, and my eyes fixated on how his biceps flexed with every wipe.

"W-What?" I wanted to act like I was not affected by his seduction, but my voice betrayed me. Gusto kong mapapikit nang mariin nang mas lumawak ang ngisi niya.

"You're blushing." puna niya. I immediately covered my cheeks. Hindi ko naman nakikita ang mukha ko, pero naramdaman ko ang kaunting init roon. Tumagilid ako ng higa para umiwas sa kanya, pero hindi niya ako hinayaan. He suddenly held my waist to stop me from moving, and I think half of my control just shattered like glass.

"Kairus!" suway ko. I was about to push him, but he immediately claimed all my personal space.

"Hmmm. My baby is always glancing at me. Tell me, are you fantasizing about me?" He arched a brow.

My lips quiver. Madali lang namang tanggihan ang paratang niya sa akin. Kaso, ngayong sobrang lapit niya ay kay hirap nang kontrolin ang natitira kong pagpipigil.
