I leaped forward, way closer to Gonʼs distance. Unbelievably, "W-What did you just...say?" I asked.

He smiled and cradled my cheeks. "I left because I need to undergone brain operation, love." he answered non reluctance and put behind my ear some strands of my hair. "...brain surgery. In particular, craniotomy surgery. Wherein a piece in my skull is removed to give my doctors access to the brain to remove the tumor in my brain. But after the operation, the piece of my skull that was removed before the operation was put back again." he vaguely explained.

G-Goodness...

I was about to ask again but I feel the extreme coldness causing me to suddenly ejected a violent air with an audible sound, chiefly through the nose!

"A-Achuuu!"

He chuckled. "Letʼs talk inside, love. Kinda...cold here. Tsk, tsk. Baka magkasakit ka niyan," he suggested.

I nodded. "Sige---achuu! G-Goodness," bahing kong muli.

Pagpasok na pagpasok namin sa bahay, nagtungo agad ako sa kusina upang magtimpla ng coffee. Samantala, pinaupo ko muna siya sa may upuang yari sa acacia. Katabi niyon ay ang fireplace. Kung saan kadalasan nakapwesto ang mga taong nais makaramdam ng init dulot ng matinding lamig.

Ipinatong ko sa wooden table, sa gitna ng inuupuan nito ang tasa ng kape niya bago ako naupo sa indian-seat style sa sahig na may nakalatag namang pulang mat.

Then perfect position of our seat was, he was sitting on a wioden chair near the fireplace while I am, on the other hand, sitting on the floor adjacent to hisʼ. Close but not necessarily touching.

I looked at him with interest. "Gon, tell me what youʼve been up during those times that youʼre away..." I began. "...I want to fully understand w-why youʼd left, e."

He bend his body a bit just to meet my face. Followed after, he kissed my forehead and distanced himself again. "Reason why I needed to leave, love...thatʼs because, I have brain tumor."

"W-W-What?!" mabilis kong reaction.

He smiled scarcely and nod once. "Hm...I have a brain tumor, love. And in order to save myself, I agreed to put myself under operation....in exchange, I had to leave for the meantime." he explained with a sigh.

My heart felt continuous throbs as I heard his reason. He has a valid reason for leaving me, all these time. But...why didnʼt he tell me? I could understand him naman, e!

I decided to set aside my side rants. Instead, I focused myself in listening to his explanations. "T-Then? What happened, Gon?" I asked again.

Imbes na sumagot, tinap niya ang kaniyang lap. "Dito ka maupo, love. Haply, I could be more than happy expressing my thoughts while explaining my reasons why I left you. Come here," he said simply but it appeared to me as seduction.

Goodness. We are not yet okay!

I pouted. "Iʼm okay here, Gon. Go on, keep explaining." tanggi ko sabay kagat sa aking pang-ibabang labi.

He sighed out of hopelessness. "Miss na nga kita, young lady. I want to...cuddle with you, hays." pagpapaawa niya pa.

My lips parted a bit. "Seriously?" I asked, amused.

He nodded lightly and stared at me with gentle eyes. "Please?" he pled.

Nakakainis naman, e!

I grumbled. "F-Fine! Mapilit ka, e." kunyaring labag sa loob ko sabay tayo mula sa aking pagkakaupo sa sahig bago lumapit sa kaniya. Nginit nanatili muna akong nakatayo sa harap nito. "S-Saan ba ako uupo, huh?" I asked as if doesnʼt really know.

He then smiled cooly before enclosing his both arms around my waist and made me sat on his lap!

Goodness naman...

Gon suddenly embraced my waist. He even kissed the skin of my arm. "I love you," he sweetly mumbled. "Love, yakapin mo din ako." he demanded and kissed again my arm.

Hindi ako nakakilos agad.

He then smelled my arm. "Makinig ka naman sa mapapangasawa mo, young lady." aniya pa.

I gulped as I obeyed what he wanted me to do. Iniyapos ko na lang sa leeg niya ang aking parehong braso. "...t-there." I stammered as I answered.

Para kasing gusto ko ang nadinig kong mga kataga na lumabas mula sa kaniyang mga masasarap at maiinit na mga labi. Goodness. Asawa daw.

I prevented myself from smiling, yet. May hindi pa siya nasasabi sa akin. At nais kong malaman ang lahat-lahat ng mga kaganapan sa kaniya habang malayo siya sa akin nitong mga nakaraang buwan.

Hinigpitan ni Gon ang pagkakayakap sa bewang ko. "Love," tawag niya sa malamyos na tinig.

"H-Hm?"

Tumitig siya sa akin na may namumungay na mga mata. "I..I undergone brain surgery. A craniotomy." saad nito.

My eyes softened upon looking at his eyes. "What is that?" I asked.

"It involves making an incision in the scalp and creating a hole known as a bone flap in the skull, banda dito." he started explaining again and point his head. "The hole and incision are made near the area of the brain being treated. During open brain surgery, my surgeon may opt to... remove tumors."

Wala sa sariling napatingin ako sa ulo niya at animoʼy isang ekspertong doctor. Marahan kong hinawakan ang ulo nito, nag-aalala. "...okay ka na ba, huh? N-Natanggal ba?" tanong ko sabay balik ko ng tingin ko sa kaniya.

But I did not expect that...he will kissed my lips quickly. "You worried about me now, love?" he asked, teasingly.

Nag-iwas ako ng tingin. "M-Malamang," sagot ko.

Hinawakan nito ang aking mukha at muling hinalikan nang marahan. "Can I continue explaining while kissing your lips, love?" he teased.

I glared at him. He kissed me again. "Gon naman, e! Sabihin mo na kaya lahat ng dahilan kung bakit mo ako iniwan! Nakakainis, halik ka nang halik diyan, e---isa pa nga!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Tapos ngayon, tatawa! Bahala ka nga!" inis kunyaring sambit ko.

Astang tatayo na mula sa pagkakaupo ko sa lap niya ngunit naging maagap ang kaniyang mga kamay upang hindi ako makatayo kung kayaʼt hindi ako nakaalis!

He pinched my nose. "Sorry na, pft." bawi nito kanina sa pagtawa niya.

I pouted my lips. "E, bakit n-natagalan kang bumalik, Gon? H-Hinihintay naman talaga kitang bumalik, e. Wala ka noong graduation ko..." nagtatampong saad ko. "Wala ka din noong mga times na...na kinakain ako ng depression, G-Gon..."

The corner of my eyes suddenly well-equipped with tears. "Hinahanap kita, w-wala ka...hinihintay kita na bigla na lang susulpot sa veranda ng bedroom ko---pero wala." saad ko pa kasabay nang pagtulo ng aking maiinit na luha.

He embraced me suddenly and caressed my back, trying to soften my heavy heart. "Sorry, my love...sorry. Hush now..."pagpapatahan nito sa akin.

Muli kong iniyakap nang mahigpit sa leeg nito ang aking braso. I even buried my face unto his neck. "Miss na miss na miss na kita..." maramdamin kong sambit dito.

I felt him kissed my shoulder. "Try to count the snowfall, love. Thatʼs how much I missed you." he metaphorical replied.

I pouted my lips even though he canʼt see them. "T-Thatʼs infinite, Gon! Uncountable!" I said.

He chuckled. "Thatʼs the answer, love. I missed you to the infinite level." he said.

I kissed his neck. "What happened to you ba, huh?" I asked and kissed his neck again. "Bakit ba hindi mo na lang sinabi kasi sa akin, in the first place? Iintintihin naman kita, e." pagpapaintindi ko.

He sighed. "Hindi ko sinabi saʼyo dahil alam kong mag-aalala ka. Alam kong hindi kakayanin ng emotional capacity mo kapag ipinaalam ko pa, love. Isa pa, I donʼt want to see you in tears. Worrying that much. Hurting and...breaking." he said.

Umalis ako sa pagkakalingkis dito upang matamang titigan ang kaniyangkaniyang gwapo, makinis, mamula-mula at kahuma-humaling na mukha.

"Gon..."

He smiled weakly. "I was operated, yes. The tumor in my head has been...successfully removed. And after my brain tumor surgery, I proceeded to treatment. And it takes time, love. All through out, I experienced some side effects while recovering. My caregivers even experienced stress, difficulty in sleeping, anxiety and other indirect symptoms while taking care of me, way back." bahagya siyang natawa nang ikwento iyon.

Pigil ang luha kong tinitigan siya. "Iʼm sorry, G-Gon..." I said painfully.

He wiped out my tears. "Itʼs okay, love...itʼs okay. Iʼm totally okay now. And...yeah, I am not got to leave you again. Ever again." he assured and pulled my nape so he could kissed me passionately.

I responded.

"I love you, Gon." I said in between our kisses. "So much," I added.

I felt the side of his lips rose up. "I love you more, love." he replied and kissed me deeper.

Naramdaman ng likod ko ang paglapat nito sa de carpet na sahig, katabi ng fireplace. Dahil sa marahang paghiga ni Gon sa akin dito. Kasunod niyon, naramdaman ko ang katamtamang bigat ng katawan ni Gon sa ibabaw ko.

Without breaking our kisses, he managed to do all the works. He undress me. From top to bottom. Showing him my bolder body.

Just then, his sinful hands traveled down my nakedness. Tipong bawat malapatan ng kaniyang palad, akoʼy napapaigtad.

Hanggang sa bumaba ang kaniyang kamay sa pinaka-sensitibong parte ng katawan ko at haplos-haplusin iyon. Nanunukso.

I gulped. "G-Gon..." nalalasing kong pagtawag, gayung iyon pa lang naman ang nagagawa niya sa aking katawan.

His lips traveled down my neck. With his dominant hand caressing my mound, heʼs giving pleasure to my long, slender neck. Dinadampi-dampian niya ng halik at kinakagat-kagat pa nang mapanukso kung kaya naman, nahigitan ko na yata ang init na nagmumula sa fireplace dahil sa sobrang pag-iinit ng aking katawan.

G-Goodness...

He then bit my earlobe. "You know love...your big pussy is like a choco mucho. " he suddenly said using bedroom voice before putting two fingers inside me.

Umawang ang aking mga labi dahil doon. "W-Why?" I breathe heavier as I asked and bit my lip the moment he circled his two fingers inside me. "O-Oh..."

"Heaven in the center."

With that, binilisan nito ang paglalaro sa loob ko using his two sinful fingers. Wala naman akong magawa kundi ang higpitan ang pagkakakapit sa kaniyang broad and mascular shoulders na may todo pagpipigil na mapaungol nang sobrang lakas!

I breathe. "G-Gon...f-filled me now, please...h-hindi na ako tatagal..." I said with almost run out of voice.

Without even saying even a single word, he released his fingers, fucking me inside, and no hesitations put his long, massive and hard cock inside me!

"Ugh, G-Gon...w-why does it feel like...goodness, b-bakit mas lumaki ang alaga mo, huh?! Huhu...a-ang sarap tuloy..."

He chuckled. "Pft. Pinalaki ko talaga para mas masarapan ka. Ganyan kita kamahal, love." aniya.

"Gon, tek---ugh,"

Hindi ko natapos ang aking sasabihin nang biglaan nitong isagad ang alaga hanggang sa kasuluk-sulukang bahagi ng aking pagkababae. At sa sobrang laki ng sukat niyon, para na aking naduduwal!

Goodness, punong-puno ako...

Bumalik ang mga labi ni Gon sa labi ko. Hinuli din nito ang pareho kong kamay at inilagay sa ulunan ko bago siya umatras-abate sa aking loob.

Noon ko lang din napagtanto na may malamyos na musikang nagmumula sa aming kapit-bahay kung kayaʼt kasabay ng aming pag-iisa, ay ang pagtugtog ng awitin mula doon.

Goodness. Feels good...

Slowly, Gon thrusted in and out. Kissing me softly and passionately.

In the midst of winter, weʼre having a slow sex featuring slow music with the same heartbeat.

Gonʼs lips explore my neck again. Leaving no skin untouchable. "...love." he hoarsely called and bit the skin near my ear.

With drunkenness in my eyes, I gulped. "Y-yes, love?" I asked, totally drown in his seductive style.

His lips traveled down my cleavage. "Where..."

Napaliyad ako nang bahagya sapagkat sunod-sunod na paghalik ang iginawad niya sa bungad ng aking dibdib. "W-What?" langong-langong tanong ko kasabay ng pagkagat sa aking labi upang pigilan ang sariling mapaungol.

Sunod na hinalik-halikan ng mga mapaminsalang labi nito ay ang aking kanang dibdib. "Is...."

Now, I was confused a bit.

"H-Huh?"

"My..." pagpapatuloy niya sa mga putol-putol na tanong habang gumagawa ng milagro sa katawan ko.

With drunkenness in my eyes, I stared at him. So, he did. But his eyes were full of desire and longingness.

At ganoon na lamang ang panlalaki ng aking mga mata nang sandaling idugsong niya sa mga nagkandaputol-putol na salita ang iisang salitang bubuo sa iisa---ngunit nakakapanlalamig na tanong!

"...daughter."

He then kissed my lips and as they parted, he looked at me deeply.

I gulped.

"Where is our daughter?"
