Nang Dahil Sa Pag Ibig ( Vhong Tee )

Chapter 16

Vhong's POV
Life is full of beautiful happenings. Full of opportunity but it will never happen again once you fully encountered it. They always said "past will forever be past". Nevertheless, make the most out of it. Kapag may mga pangyayari sa buhay mong masaya ka, damdamin mo ito ng lubos at dapat mo itong ipag-pasalamat sa Diyos dahil hindi mo alam kung kailan mo ulit mararanasan ang tunay na kahulugan ng salitang lungkot.

When sadness visited you, trust me, it will destroy your whole corporality. It will also decay your body because you're no longer interested to those things you are before. Mawawalan ka ng gana sa mga bagay na kinagigiliwan mo dati kasi pasa-saan pa kung malungkot ka?

Kaya ngayong natatamasa ko ang kaligayahan inaasam, gusto kong pahalagahan ang mga ito. Gusto kong pahalagan si Tanya. I want to treasure this moment that makes me totally ecstatic.

Kasalukuyan akong papunta ngayon sa bahay ni Tanya. As I said last night, I will fetch her. Today is our last pictorial. Sinabay kasi iyong photoshoot para sa facade ng building malapit sa company at 'yong mismong pictorial para sa official endorser ng YB Company. Sa beach ang venue ng pictorial namin ngayon since they want me toplessly in my photoshoots. Last release kasi ng picture ko ay agad itong pinag-usapan ng madla. Alam kong may clue na agad ang mga fans ko kung bakit ako nagrelease ng ga'nong picture. Mostly kasi hindi ako nagpi-pictorial ng ganoon. Maybe they already knew the reason why I left my showtime fam and my career here in the Philippines and that's the modeling/endorsing thing. I know they would still support me. I trust them.

Nang makarating ako sa bahay ni Tanya ay agad akong bumaba at dumiretso sa gate nila. Before I press the doorbell, the guard automatically open their gate. Nuxx naman, manong. I forgot to tell you all, I'm currently carrying a bouquet of roses and one piece of red balloon. Sounds clingy but who cares? It's my fucking lovelife, afterall.

"Goodmorning, Sir Vhong, Sabi ni Ma'am, hintayin mo nalang daw siya dito. Pababa na ho— ay nandito na po pala siya, eh" Ani manong na agad nagulat sa presensiya ni Tanya na nasa bandang gilid niya. Gumilid si Manong para tuluyang makalabas si Tanya bago sinarado ang gate nila.

"For you" banggit ko pagkatapos kong halikan siya sa pisnge. She smiled at me.

"Thank you for this even if you really don't need to gave me some flowers, tho" She uttered. Lumakad ako papunta sa shotgun seat at pinagbuksan siya ng pinto.

"It's okay. You looked beautiful in this morning" Wika ko matapos niyang pumasok sa sasakyan.

"Bolero" she shook her head before I closed the door.

Umikot ako sa sasakyan at pumasok na sa driver's seat. Nakita kong inamoy niya ang bulaklak at napangiti. Napangisi naman ako bago pinaandar ang sasakyan at nagsimulang magmaneho.

Along our ride, it was traffic so I just waited until the red light turn into green. To our high road, we overpass the avenue and it was very traffic, too. Good thing we drove early so we couldn't be late. I creased my forehead when someone knock on my window and there I saw an old lady. As a respect, I open my window only to ask the old lady what's her purpose in knocking my window.

"Iho, pangkain lang po" Marahan niyang wika at inilahad ang kamay niya sa harap ko.

I look for my wallet in the dashboard and got a P100 pesos there. I gave it to the old lady. She thanked me and so I smiled to her. After that, she run a little away with a smile on her lips. And when the red light turn into green, I started driving my car slowly. I took a glipmse to Tanya. I noticed that she's always staring at me. I just acted normal even if I wanted to tingled in gladness right at this moment. Lol. She smiled to me when our eyes met and so I smiled back. Wawerss HAHA.

Tanya's POV
Damn this feeling, I'm very noticeable. I can't help but to stare and stare at Vhong everytime he's looking at the road. He's so hot and attractive in every angle and possible way. He's now wearing a blue polo with two buttons open above. Hell, if I could sneak this man out, I'll surely do.

Earlier she gave a money to the poor lady. It makes me turn on. Don't get my statement wrong. I mean, it gave me more information about him. He's very gentlemen, kind and sweet. Kung sino man ang naging ex nito. Sure, manghihinayang siya sa pinakawalan niya. But for now, I'll never let this man go.

When we arrived at the beach which Audrey and my team settled for the pictorial, I invited Vhong to have a lunch first since the photoshoot will start at 1pm.

We entered in a fine restaurant. Vhong gave me a sit so I thanked him. I left the bouquet inside his car so I can move properly. I'll treat him because the last time we ate, he treated me. So I make bawi-bawi this time, HAHA.

"Seeing the food, it makes me hungry" I said while making a circle in my tummy using my hand.

"Seeing you, it makes me hungry, too" He muttered in seducing voice. I felt my cheeks turned to red. Agad ko namang hinampas ang kamay niya sa itaas ng mesa dahilan para matawa siya. Nang tumawa siya ay agad napunta sa kanya ang atensyon ng lahat sa loob ng resto. I saw how their face turn into heart. Dukutin ko mga mata niyo diyan, eh.

"Let's just eat, tsk" I said as I started picking up my spoon and fork.

Nang matapos kaming kumain sa restaurant na iyon ay agad na kaming umalis. While walking around, Vhong keeps on moving close to me. Maski paglakad ko ay sinasabayan niya. Ramdam ko iyon. Sa tuwing bibilisan ko ang lakad ko ay bibilisan din niya at kung hihinaan ko naman ay ganoon din.

I'm about to walk first after him but he already put his arm to my shoulder. Hell, tumaas ata ang mga balahibo ko sa batok pagkatapos niyang gawin iyon. Napaka-PDA naman ata ng lalaking ito.

"Let's walk together" bulong niya sa akin.

Pinagtitinginan na kami ng mga tao dito. Gusto kong balewalain sila pero sa tuwing naiisip ko ring nakaakbay si Vhong sa akin ngayon ay 'di ko magawa. Kasi mismong ako, hindi magkandamayaw sa kuryenteng dinudulot niya sa'kin ngayon.

Nang malapit na kami sa mismong site ay inalis ko na ang kamay niya sa pagka akbay sa akin. Hell, mamatay na ata ako sa kilig. Para tuloy akong bumalik sa high school life, tangina.

"Wuyy, Madam! Usap-usapan na sa beach ang pagiging PDA ninyo ni Sir Vhong. Alelelelele may alam ba kayong hindi ko alam, Ma'am?" Bulabog sa'kin ng chismosa kong secretary pagkadating namin sa site.

"Mind your own business, Audrey. We're here to work not to spout" I replied.

"Nyenye. Ma'am, we're here to work not to flirt" She exclaimed. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay. Iyong tipong hanggang Mt. Everest kataas para lang malaman niyang naiinis ako sa kanya ngayon. Agad naman siyang nawala sa harap ko at sinabihan ang lahat na magsisimula na ang pictorial. Nahagip naman ng mata ko si Vhong na kanina pa pala nakatingin sa direksyon ko. Tinaasan ko din siya ng kilay pero ngumuso lang siya. Binaba ko ang tingin ko sa katawan niya. Damn, agad akong nag-iwas ng tingin at inasikaso iyong papers na dinala ni Audrey, tsk. Damn that 6 pack abs of yours!

Our day ended good. The photoshoot already finished and it also ended well. I'm with Vhong. The sun already moved to it's horizon. Vhong is currently driving, heading to where he wanted to go with me. Ewan ko sa kanya. Basta ang sabi lang niya, may pupuntahan daw kami. I trust him. Hindi niya naman siguro ako kikidnapin, LoL.

Habang mas tumatagal, mas lalo kong nakikilala ang daan. Patungo ito sa isang sikat na dining restaurant sa syudad. I heard it was recognized as the most romantic restaurant in town. So expected that many lovebirds would come there.

When we finally came, as usual, Vhong opened my door. Pinasadahan ko ng tingin ang suot ko. Well, it was match to this restaurant. It was a red tank top partnered to my faded pants. Nagjacket kasi ako kanina tapos naka tank top sa loob 'nong papunta kami sa pictorial because I'm not obliged to wear some uniforms as well as Vhong.

Bago ka papasok sa maindoor ng resto ay maglalakad ka muna sa isang aisle na semento at punong-puno ng mga pulang bulaklak at grass sa gilid na halatang ito ang most asset sa lugar dahil pwede kayong magdate sa grassfield dahil may mga bench. May mga puno ding puno ng palamuti at mga lights. Woah! Ang ganda!

I creased my forehead when I noticed that the place is so quiet and it seemed that we're only two who were costumers here. Ni guard ay wala. Pumasok kami sa loob ni Vhong. There were table and two chairs in the middle. I wonder where the tables are. This is restaurant for goodness sake and there were only one table which was located at the middle? Oh my God! Am I being paranoid? Lol.

"If you're wondering if we're only here, well, I rent the whole restaurant for us" Wika niya habang inaalalayan akong umupo.

Nang tuluyan na akong nakaupo ay umupo na rin si Vhong sa harap ko. Agad siyang pumalakpak ng dalawang beses at may lumabas na dalawang naka-white sleeve na lalaki with their two paired of slacks. May dalang wine ang isa at ang isa naman ay may dalang pagkain. Can someone tell me what's going on? Or Am I being to slow here. Goshness!

Nilapag nila ang kanya-kanyang dala sa mesa namin ni Vhong. Ngumiti si Vhong sa akin. Ako nama'y hanggang ngayon ay hindi parin marehistro sa utak kung ano nga ba itong nangyayari.

"Enjoy your night, lovers" The other guy said before leaving us. May tumugtog na romantic music dahilan para mamangha pa ako. My jaw drops in great astonishment and amazement.

"Let's eat" Ani Vhong pero hindi ko parin ginalaw ang plato ko. I'm still in great flabbergasted.

"Seems very surprised, huh? Did you like it?" Vhong added.

"I like you" banat ko dahilan para magulat siya.

"Well, I'll make you level that up. I'll make you fall inlove with me, too" Pero mas lalo akong nagulat sa sinabi niya. No, you don't need to make me fall inlove with you because right at this moment, I'm loving to love you.

Namula ako sa sinabi niya. Kilig to the bones! Self, kalma! HAHA. Nagsimula na akong kumain at ganoon din siya. Sa kalagitnaan ng pagkain namin ay nagsalita siya kaya napatingin ako sa kanya.

"You know what, I weren't done this to my past exes ever since. Only you and it will be only you" Vhong uttered. God help me. Swear. I'll kill this man with love.

"Stop making me blush. God! Just eat" I said.

"I will eat you" He replied seductively.

"Damn you" Napanguso ako. He just chuckled.

Nang matapos na kaming kumain ay uminom kami ng wine. While we're drinking a wine, we talked about our lives not until our topic shift to love.

"Minsan lang ako magseryoso at kapag nagseryoso ako. Damn! Even the world, I'll give it to my girl. I'll fucking give it to you" He said it with a serious voice.

"Even me, if I can't give the whole world. Well, I would give him pure and legit love, respect, faith and loyalty" I replied.

"Now, I'll ask you. Can you give me those?" Naguluhan ako sa sinabi niya.

Tumayo siya at hinila ako paharap sa kanya. He sincerely stare at my eyes. He held both of my hands.

"Can I court you?" Halos manghina ako sa tanong niya. Ngayon ko lang mararanasang magkaroon ng lalaking handang ibigay sa akin ang mundo, tatanggi pa ba ako? Hell, no.

"Yes" And with that, he hugged me.

We stayed in our position in a couple of minutes. He didn't move and so am I. I just cherished this moment, hugging my love, my boy, my everything. Vhong is really something I couldn't wish more. He's enough. Vhong is more than enough.
