Magical Feeling

Months passed by, everything was all planned. From the simpliest detail of the wedding, to the grandest.

At sa araw na ito gaganapin ang aming engagement party. All of my colleges classmates are even invited.

Ang mga katrabaho at kakilala ni Vince, pati na rin ang lahat ng empleyado sa kompanyang pareho naming pinagtatrabahuhan noon.

"Grabe ka 'teh! Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwalang sa tagal mong nawala, pagbalik mo may fafabol ka at ang swerte mo pa." maarteng winika ni Rose. Natatawa ko itong tinanaw sa salamin.

We are currently preparing for the party. Since nagtatampo siya sa akin, I let here decide what to wear for me.

Maging ang ayos ng buhok at make-up ko ay siya ang gumawa. Nagprotesta pa ako ng masyado itong kumapal ngunit aniya bagay raw sa akin ito.

Hinarap ko siya at inabot ko ang kanyang kamay.

"I'm sorry," malungkot kong sinabi. Though I didn't regret all of my decisions before, I still felt sad leaving her.

"Ano ka ba? Ang drama-drama mo, maiyak ka pa dyan sasabunutan kita kapag nasira ang make-up mo!" iritado kunwaring sinabi niya. Natawa na lang ako sa mga kalokohan niya.

"Everything was so sudden, hindi ko rin inaasahan ang lahat ng ito. At... natatakot ako na baka kung gaano ito kabilis nangyari, ganoon din kabilis mawala... at matapos." I honestly confessed.

She stopped fixing my hair and faced me. Kunot ang noo nitong nakatingin sa akin.

"You are just overthinking, save that for the other day. Kailangan masaya ka ngayon dahil all of us were celebrating because of your engagement." pang-aalo niya sa akin.

Sinuklian ko lang ito ng matamis na ngiti.

Lahat ay maayos na ng bumaba ako sa venue. Tita Christina rented the whole hotel para daw enggrande ang engagement party na magaganap.

I protested to that pero sabi niya gusto rin niyang gawin ang pinakaespesyal para sa kanyang anak. Wala naman na akong nagawa dahil ganoon siya magmahal bilang ina.

Bawat pagtama ng aking paningin sa mga taong dumarating ay siya ring bigay ko ng aking matamis na ngiti.

Hindi ko ito ugali ngunit kailangan kong maging hospitable sa aming mga bisita.

"Nak, the party will start soon. Dapat ay nakarelax ka na." paalala ni Mama ng makasalubong ko siya.

Abala rin siya sa pagbati ng mga bisita kahit pa kalahati sa mga ito ay hindi naman niya lubusang kilala.

Without uttering a word, I immediately hugged her.

"Thank you, Ma."

"Para saan naman? Ikaw talagang bata ka." natatawang tanong niya.

Lumayo ako sa pagkakayap upang harapin siya.

"Thank you for compromising, for being in good terms sa kanilang lahat just for me to be happy." wika ko.

Alam ko kung gaano ang galit ni Mama sa pamilyang pinili ni Papa. Alam ko kung papaanong nasira ang buhay at pagkatao niya dahil sa mga ito. Kaya hangang-hanga ako sa katapangang ipinakita niya.

She chose to forgive them wholeheartedly.

"Nak, yes you are the main reason. Pero naisip ko rin kasi, wala naman akong mapapala kung patuloy akong magtatanim ng galit." she explained.

Tumango-tango ako bilang pagpapakita na naiintindihan ko siya.

"I always wanted you to be happy." dugtong pa niya. That softened my heart that I almost cry.

Palaging mababaw ang luha ko nitong mga nakaraang araw. Hindi pa rin kasi nagsisink in sa akin ang lahat.

Ganito siguro ang pakiramdam kapag matagal kang hindi napahalagahan tapos ay sa isang iglap, everyone loves you.

The party started at patuloy ang pagdami ng mga dumarating na bisita.

Resien's busy playing with all of the other kids. Tuwang-tuwa ito dahil siguro minsan lang siya magkaroon ng kalaro. Ni hindi ko nga maistorbo.

"Let her enjoy, hindi mo kailangang mag-alala." Vince assured me. Kanina ko pa kasi siya kinukulit na hanapin ang anak namin dahil nag-aalala akong baka may mangyaring makasasakit sa kanya.

"I'm sorry, I just can't help it."

"Stop worrying, ang ganda ganda mo tapos lukot ang mukha mo. This is our night, babe." he said tucking a little strand of my hair to the back of my ear.

I smiled weakly at him and nooded. He gathered my hand to clung it in his arm.

"Congratulations!" halos sigaw na wika ng isang babae. Nang malingunan ko ito ay nagulat pa ako ng makitang si Becca ito.

"Thank you," Vince said professionally. Gusto kong matawa kung papaanong pormal na pormal siyang magpasalamat kay Becca.

Mababakas mo rin ang irita sa kanyang sistema. Ang lalaking ito talaga, ang sungit-sungit na lang sa lahat. Kahit ako ay hindi pinaligtas.

"Super unexpected niyong dalawa, dati-rati ay manager ka lang tapos ikaw ay janitress hahaha." nakakainsultong komento niya.

I don't know, wala naman ngang masama sa sinabi niya but she made it sound like an insult. Malaki talagang factor ang paraan ng pagsasalita ng tao. Mamimis-interpret ito kung hindi mo aayusin.

"Yeah," maikling tugon ni Vince. Hindi ako nagsasalita at hinahayaan lamang na silang dalawa ang magkaroon ng interaksyon.

"Hindi mo naman sinabing sa janitress ka lang pala babagsak, edi sana sa akin na lang." tumatawang aniya na may kasama pang paghampas sa braso ng aking fiancè.

I'm just looking at her blankly. I'm not angry at her presence but I'm not happy, either.

"Huwag mong nila-lang lang ang janitress Becca, they are still humans who deserves to be respected. Kung makapagsalita ka naman ay parang hindi ka rin naging ganoon." I finally spoke, but my words surely burned her.

Peke itong ngumiti at tumango sa akin. "By the way, thanks for inviting me here. I'm enjoying the night."

Sabay lamang kaming tumango ni Vince at nilagpasan siya.

Kabi-kabila ang lamesang hinihintuan namin para batiin, sumasakit na nga ang aking paa dahil masyadong mataas ang sapatos na pinili ni Rose para sa akin.

"You okay?" he asked when my paced slowed.

"Wait lang, ang sakit na ng paa ko eh." reklamo ko. Umupo akong saglit upang luwagan ang aking sapatos.

Ang sakit talaga ng paa ko, lintek. Totoo naman kasi, ganito ba talaga dito? Hindi ba puwedeng sila na lang ang lumapit at bumati sa amin. Nakakapagod.

Nang tingalain ko siya ay kuryosong nakayuko lang ito sa akin, pinagmamasdan ako.

His lips curved then he chuckled. "You're so cute, get up." aniya saka inalalayan akong tumayo.

Hindi ko pa man naiaayos ang aking balanse ay naramdaman ko ang aking paglutang.

He carried me in a bridal style, and he's getting so much attention from the crowd.

"V-Vince, ano ba? I-Ibaba mo ako, nakakahiya!" nahihiyang bulong ko sa kanya. Nang libutin ko kasi ng tingin ang paligid ay halos lahat sa kanila ay nakatingin sa amin, ang iilan ay may pilyong ngiti.

"Their opinion does not matter," wika niya saka naglakad. Marahan kong hinahampas ang kanyang braso upang ibaba ako.

I'm hearing almost of the crowd's laugh. Shit! This is so embarrasing.

"Vince, where are we going?" I leaned closer to whisper that to him. I hate that he smells so good. He always smell like he just came from a fresh bath.

Samantalang pakiramdam ko sa sarili ko ay pawis at haggard na ako. Unfair!

"Mag-uusap." nakangiti niyang sinabi. Pinagtakhan ko ang pilyong ngiting nakaukit sa kanyang mga labi.

"Enjoy the night!" he yelled at the crowd na nasundan ng malalakas na kantyawan.

Itinago ko ang aking mukha sa dibdib ni Vince. Sobrang nakakahiya.

Lumayo lamang ako ng unti-unting humina ang ingay na dulot ng party at mga taong nandoon.

We got inside the hotel and we are now taking the elevator.

"Puwede mo naman na akong ibaba, hindi ka ba nabibigatan?" I asked. Umiling lang ito at hindi na sumagot.

He's back at it again with his cold attitude. Parang kaylaging may dalaw at napakahirap kausapin.

"Balik na tayo doon, tayo ang may party tapos iiwan natin sila." mahinang sabi ko.

He faced me. Nagtaka ako ng makitang tila hindi siya komportable at may iilang butil ng pawis na namumuo sa kanyang noo.

"Hey! Are you okay?" wika ko saka dinama ang kanyang noo, nang bababa na ang aking kamay sa kanyang leeg ay sinapo niya ito.

Saktong bumukas ang elevator at kaagad niya akong hinigit papasok ng kwarto.

When the door closed behind, he automatically pinned me on the wall. Then kissed me deep, and hungrily. My mouthed still in awe so his tongue found its way to enter it.

I tightly gripped his shoulders. Nararamdaman ko ang init na unti-unting naghahari sa aking sistema.

When he broke the kissed, we are both panting. Hindi pa man ako nakakarecover, he immediately pulled me more on to the middle of the bed taking both of us under the white sheet. He spun me around moving on top of me.

I yelled, almost making a light screeching sound out of surprise.

When I looked at him in the eye, he smirked and wiggled his brows giving me a hint of what's next.

Tuloy ay sunod-sunod na hampas sa kanyang dibdib ang aking ginawa. Seryosong tao ngunit pagdating sa akin ay nagiging pilyo.

He entrapped me between his manly arms to stop me from hitting his chest.

Kaagad na namayapa ang katahimikan sa pagitan namin ng muling magtama ang aming paningin.

He lowered his face and kissed me softly on my lips. Am I now in heaven? His soft lingering kisses felt like I am.

The ones that makes you close your eyes as electric flow fills your skin and bones.

From soft kisses it became faster, harder and rough. He continued to travel from my lips to my chin while slowly scrapping my skin using his teeth as tool of seduction.

"Hmmmmm, Vince." moan escaped my supple lips. His kisses felt so good, whether it's soft—or either rough.

My hands slowly run from his back to his shoulders until it reached his neck, I started to caress him there Playing with his ears, my soft finger tips tickling his fantasies.

Unti-unting bumababa ang suot kong dress dahil sa kanyang mga halik. It revealed my bra.

Without hesitation, transforming into a wild beast. He immediatley remove it revealing my perky breast. He capture it with a thirsty mouth. He claimed one and gently pressed the other making me arch my back upward bringing myself closer to him.

He's doing it in a circular motion using his skillfull tongue while keeping eye contact with me.

He's waking my nerves that I thought no one else could. I'm biting my lip to stop letting out the moan in my lips.

That scene made me out of breath. I am starting to feel moist down there, I am beginning to be soaked in pleasure.

Vince pulled away to take his polo off and started to unbutton and unzip his pants.

He started to pull my dress down, leaving me with my underwear and naked breast. It somehow cause me to became uneasy, kung kailan may anak na kami, saka pa ako nahiyang makita niya ang buo kong katawan. I covered myself which he immediately stopped.

"Huwag kang mahiya," he said. "You look so beautiful and sexy."

He is slowly removing my arms from covering my body. Kung tignan niya ako ay para akong isang salamin na kung hindi iingatan ay mababasag. I love how he changed simultaneously, one time he is gently, and he will became rough... then back at it with his gentleness.

He removed his underwear and his manhood sprang free. Hindi ko na matandaan kung kailan ang huling beses na makita ko iyon. But it became larger, mas malaki kaysa noon.

Then he leaned closer to pull my panties down, nananatiling malagkit na nakatitig ang kanyang mga mata sa akin habang dahan-dahang hinuhubad ang natitirang saplot sa akin.

He planted a soft kiss on my forehead before positioning on top of me. I was biting my lower lip to as I felt his manhood poking my sex.

And slowly, he entered me. We are both panting as he filled me to the brim.

Dahan-dahan hanggang sa mapuno ako, ngunit panandalian lamang iyon dahil wala pang ilang segundo ay naging mabilis at marahas ang kanyang pag-ulos.

His eyes remain locked while pushing in and out of my walls. He continuely rammed my insides while caressing me from my waist.

"Ah, fuck!" he moaned as he knelt and pulled my legs locking it around his waist so he can move better.

I arched my back more bringing my head to the back as pleasure injected in my blood.

Bawat ulos niya'y may kaakibat na kasabikan. I felt that familiar hear building up and the more that he moves, the more my cries and moans became uncontrollable.

I almost wrinkled the sheets from my tight grip. He went in and out, shattering both of our systems.

"Oh my gosh, Vince! Ahh..." I moaned loudly, I cannot contain it anymore.

His paced became faster and faster until I'm starting to feel something that is going to explode. I came in an instant.

"Shit! Shit! I'm about to...Ahhh fuck!" he cussed as he spilled his hot seeds inside me. He was panting hard as we both fell on top of the bed, sideways.

"I love you," he whispered.

"I love you." it was all that I could say after the earth shattering orgasm.

He then lean closer to plant a soft kiss on my lips.

"Ganda mo." he remarked combing my hair.

I glanced at him tiredly, "Naka-score ka na, nambola ka pa." I teased, pinching his nose.

He chuckled and stared at me. "Baka puwedeng isa pa?" he asked pouting. Mahina kong sinampal ang kanyang pisngi.

"We have our party to attend to, they are still waiting for us."

"Nagpaalam na ako ah." he said now combing his hair using his hand. Ang gwapo.

"Halika na!" wika ko saka akmang tatayo ngunit agad niya akong hinila pabalik sa kanyang bisig.

"Let's just cuddle, please."

I sighed and let myself relax on his side. Now I am sure that we made love, not just a pure physical relationship. But a love-making.

This simple cuddling is breaking my heart it its tiny pieces, not because of a heartbreak. But because of a bizzare, magical feeling.
