Phae

Present time

Katulad ng naging usapan namin ni Hera sa telepono, pumunta ako sa condo unit nya. Ang sabi nya lang sakin ay namimiss nya na ako. I already knew what that meant. Kaya naman after the reception, tumuloy na agad ako dito. 'Ni hindi ko na nga nagawang magpaalam kay Ram at Charlie. I just bid my brother a quick goodbye.

I knocked three times and waited for her to open the door. Hera insisted that I should a have a key to her condo but I decided not to take it. Gusto ko parin na magkaroon sya ng privacy. I couldn't just barge in here anytime I want although that's what she wants. After a few minutes, she still hasn't come to get the door, so I decided to try on the door knob, and it turned, which made me frown.

What on earth is that woman doing? Bakit hinayaan nyang bukas ang pinto ng bahay nya?

Pumasok ako sa loob at nagpalinganga. Hera was nowhere to be seen. Nakapatay ang ilaw sa buong kabahayan, tanging ang tunog na nagmumula sa aquarium lang ang naririnig ko. Dumiretso ako sa kwarto nya, nagbabakasakaling natutulog sya at tamang tama naman na bumukas din ang pinto ng shower nya.

"What the hell?" she cried and she clutched the wet towel to her naked body.

I rolled my eyeballs and proceeded to sit on the edge of her king sized bed. "No, Hera, What the hell?" I crossed my arms and my legs. "Bakit iniwan mong bukas ang pinto?"

"Bukas ba?" maang niya.

My scowl deepened. "Someone could've gotten in, Hera! What the f-uck is wrong with you?!"

She smiled at me sadly. Lumapit sya sakin, Basang basa at tumutulo pa sa balikat nya ang buhok nya. She got into her bed and hugged me from behind. "I'm sorry baby, it's just that.." she faltered.

"What?" bahagyang naiirita parin na tanong ko bagamat nakikiliti ako sa pagdapo ng hininga nya sa leeg ko.

She settled her chin on my shoulder. I was still wearing the blue tube gown I wore at Ram's wedding. Ramdam ko sa balat ko ang malamig na tubig mula sa buhok nya. I knew something's wrong, it's so not Hera to act like this. She was never this reckless.

"What's wrong, Hera?" my hand reached for her head. Matagal na kaming magkaibigan ni Hera, mga limang taong siguro simula nang bumalik sya dito sa bansa. She lived in the states with her parents for two years hanggang sa maisipan na nyang bumalik na lang dito sa pilipinas.

We met each other on graduate school. Hera has always been different. Other people see her as a bitch, but I saw thru her facade. She has this certain sadness in her, which I think was the thing that drew me in. Sa isa't isa namin nahanap ang kakampi, na sa tingin namin ay wala kami ng mga panahon na 'yun. She became my shoulder to cry on. My anchor. And later on, the air I breathe.

"Viktor's been calling me.." she whispered, her voice was muffled by my skin.

Tumuwid ang likod ko pagkabanggit nya ng pangalan ng ex nya. It's been years.. At naniwala ako noon na after four long years, nakalimutan na nya ang hudas na 'yun. "Viktor? Why? Why would he call you?" I didn't bother to hide the contempt off my voice.

Bakit? Sya lang naman ang first love ni Hera. First love never dies? I am not a firm believer of that. But damn, If I don't feel threatened by that guy.

Natatakot ako na baka bumalik si Hera sa kanya.

Baka iwan ako ni Hera para kay Viktor.

Ayoko. Hindi ko kakayanin.

She's mine.

"Shh.." she began planting tender kisses on my neck and shoulder. "It was nothing, okay? I was just a little.. Disturbed.."

"Are you sure that was all?" i asked, breathing heavily as her hands started carressing my arms. She knew I couldn't resist her once she starts kissing me. She's using libido to distract me! This woman!

"Yes.." she said in a low, soft voice.

Napakagat ako sa labi ko nang maramdaman ko ang kamay nya sa zipper ng gown ko. She started unzipping it. Slowly. Teasing. Sunod na naramdaman ko ay ang maiinit nyang halik sa likuran ko. The fabric of the gown pooled on my waist and cold hair touched my bare skin. I gasped loudly as she cupped my perfectly perked breasts and squeezed it.

Wala nga pala akong suot na bra under my dress. I don't need it anyway. My mind got clouded as her fingers toyed with my already erect nipples. She knew exactly how to put my mind off things. I inhaled deeply as she began sucking the sensitive spot on the hollow of my neck.

"Ahh!" I gasped.

Hindi ko na napigilan at humarap ako sa kanya. She stumbled back to the bed and giggled. I smirked at her as I hovered her, half naked. She smiled at me as she ran her hands on my thighs, hiking my dress higher into my waist. I was already breathing heavily when she found the garter of my lace underwear. I stared into her heavily hooded eyes as I removed the wet towel off her body, she was removing my panties simultaneously.

"Hera.." I groaned as her tongue found my nipple. Napasabunot ako sa buhok nya as I was straddling her. My back arched when she hungrily sucked on my tips and her finger seeked for that sensitive knob down below.

"I love you, Phae.."she whispered fiercely and began f-ucking me with her long slender fingers. Napaindayog ako sa ibabaw nya. I couldn't find the words to explain the sensation I'm feeling whenever I was doing it with her. I had been with men before, had sex with one, but I couldn't find the same satisfaction. It was never like this. Never this erotic.

Only Hera was able to give me an orgasm if it wasn't self induced.

The next thing we knew I was lying on my back, my gown still gathered around my waist, knees bent, legs spread and she was circling my clit with her thumb. "F-uck, baby!!"

She chuckled while nibbling my ear lobe. "You like it, you dirty slut?" she teased. Hera stick two of her fingers through my folds and curved it upward, eliciting a loud moan from me.

"Hell yeahhh.."

I grabbed her ass and slapped it repeatedly before giving in to my orgasm. We were both breathing heavily and chuckling when she nestled beside me. Iniyakap ko ang isang braso ko sa kanya at idinantay naman nya ang isang binti nya sakin. Nilunod ko ang sarili ko sa amoy ni Hera.

I love her smell. It always brought me peace I have never experienced my whole life. This is what saved my sanity. This thing I have with her. It's what make me whole and happy.

"I love you.." bulong nya.

"I love you more.." I kissed her forehead.

Hera

Nagsindi ako ng panibagong sigarilyo pagtapos ay tumabi akong muli kay Phae. She too was puffing her cigarette. Ngumiti sya sakin bago muling tumingin sa LED screen sa harap namin.

Nagbuga ako ng usok at idinantay ang ulo ko sa balikat nya. We are both still butt naked but we don't care. Sanay na kaming dalawa. When she's staying here, kadalasan ay parehas lang kaming hubad. Kung minsan nga ay pinagbubuksan ko ang mga delivery boy kahit wala akong damit. I'm already confortable with my body, and I am certainly comfortable with others seeing it. Lalaki lang naman ang mga 'yan. Wala akong pakialam.

But of course, my darling Phae disapproves. She's only this comfortable kapag ako ang kasama nya. Hindi sya kumportable sa mga lalaki. That's where we differ. Kung ako walang paki sa mga lalaki, Phae has this kind revulsion towards men. She's not a man hater, but she's not comfortable around them.

Unless it's Drae, her gorgeous devil of a brother. But of course, di pa naman nakikitang hubad ng kapatid nya si Phae.

"Why's Viktor calling you?" biglang tanong nya habang pinapatay ang sindi ng sigarilyo nya.

Nagkibit balikat ako. "I don't know." I toyed with the edge of my comforter. "We saw each other in a charity event. Simula nun tawag na sya ng tawag, I don't even know how he got my number, I wasn't listed."

"What? He wants to f-uck with your pussy again?" she sneered.

Natawa naman ako. Naiintindihan ko naman kung bakit galit sya kay Viktor. Kung ako nga hanggang ngayon, hindi ko parin magwang titigan sa mata ang hayop na 'yon. He screwed me and then screwed me over. He's fu-cked me up.

Muli kong hinarap si Phae. She's scowling again. Napangisi ako. She doesn't know that she looked so cute when she's mad. Ang sarap sarap pa nya lambingin pag ganon! "You are so silly! But maybe he does miss this pussy." pinasadahan ko ng daliri ang harapan ko. I'm going to tease her.

"That's one hell of a pussy, no wonder he misses it." now she had this naughty look on her face. Gotcha! I knew she couldn't stay mad at me. She loves me.

"Taste it?" I teased.

She doesn't need to answer. She moved south with a predatory look in her amber eyes I happen to love so much.

I sighed in pleasure while the thought of this woman in my bed, and how I love her to every bits of my heart, playing in my screwed up brains.

Hera (Flashback)

Mabilis na umibis ako mula sa taxi nang huminto iyon sa harap ng bahay ng nobyo ko. Umaambon na kaya nag mamadali akong tumawid sa kalsada.

Tumayo ako sa tapat ng mababang gate at kinatok katok iyon. "Vik? Viktor!"

Napangiti ako nang mapait nang maalala ko kung bakit ako naparoon. Humawak ako sa puson ko at kinapa ang pregnancy test kit na ginamit ko kanina mula sa aking bulsa. I am pregnant.

Hindi ko pa magawang magpatingin sa doctor dahil natatakot ako. Natatakot akong totoo talaga ang resulta ng pregnancy test. Paano kung buntis talaga ako? How will I tell my parents? Magagalit sila sakin, sigurado. I'm only seventeen years old for God's sake! Baka palayasin nila 'ko. Napakagat ako sa labi ko. I needed to tell Viktor first. He needs to know he might be a father soon.

Abot abot ang kaba ko. Pero sigurado naman akong hindi ako iiwan ni Viktor. Sigurado akong matutuwa sya kung sakaling magkakaanak na nga kami! Sigurado yun!

Mahal nya 'ko. Yun ang pinanghahawakan ko.

Naputol ang isipin ko nang makita kong bumukas ang pinto ng bahay nila Viktor. Iniluwa sya noon at isang babae, na halatang mas matanda sa kanya. Viktor's already twenty two. The woman looked like she's on her early thirties.

Nakita kong inalalayan ni Viktor ang babae palabas ng bahay, ipainagbukas nya ito ng payong dala ng lumalakas na ulan. The woman was laughing - No, she was giggling - at whatever Viktor was telling her. Parang nais kong mainis. Sino ba 'tong malanding babaeng 'to? Kung maka hagikgik daig pa ang teenager.

Gumana nanaman ang pagiging selosa ko.

Naisip ko naman na baka katrabaho lang 'to ng nanay ni Viktor? Bagamat kase related ang mga Ignacio sa mga Sobrevega - Isa sa mga pinakamayayaman na pamilya sa pilipinas - hindi ganoon kayaman sila Viktor. May kaya sila, Oo, but they weren't as big time as his cousin's family.

Mas mayaman din ang pamilya namin kaysa sa kanila. Kaya nga kung minsan ay may pagka insecure si Viktor pag napaguusapan ang tungkol sa yaman yaman na 'yan.

"Viktor.." I approached them once they were out of the gate.

"Hera?!" gulat na sabi nya. Kahit madilim ay napansin ko ang pamumutla nya. "What are you doing here?"

Bakit parang nagagalit sya? Heto ako ngayon, buntis, at nababasa na ng ulan, habang sya, todo payong sa matronang 'yon!

"M-may sasabihin sana ko.." nangangatal na ang labi ko sa labis na ginaw. Patuloy na lumalakas ang ulan at nakatayo lang doon ang walangya kong nobyo at pinapayungan ang kasama nya.

"Vik, who is she?" maarteng sabi ng babae. Sa pananalita at pustura nito, halata nang may sinasabi sa buhay. Mukhang mayaman na nabubuhay na lang sa kakapa botox at lipo. Mukhang matrona na nagpapakapasasa sa pera na kinikita ng asawa. There are a lot of socialites in the world where I came from. I know one when I saw one.

"Uhh.." tumingin si Viktor sa kasama. "Let's go, Katrina, let me take you to your car."

Confirmed. Mayaman nga. She actually had a chaffeur. Nagtagis ang mga bagang ko. Sino ba 'tong babae na 'to? At gaano kahirap para kay Viktor na sagutin ang tanong nito kung sino ako? Girlfriend nya 'ko, ano bang problema dun?

Matapos makasakay ng mercedes benz nya si Katrina ay agad na umibis iyon. Noon lang ako binalikan ni Viktor. Kung kailan basang basa na 'ko ng ulan at nagbabanggan na ang mga ngipin ko sa sobrang ginaw.

"Go home, Hera." malamig na sabi ni Viktor sakin.

Natigagal ako. "I have something to tell you, Vik!" desperadang sabi ko. Pag hindi ko pa naipaalam sa kanya ang kundisyon ko ay baka mabaliw na 'ko! Two months na akong delayed. Hindi magtatagal mahahalata na nila mommy at daddy na may dinadala ako. I'm having morning sickness and they're already suspicious!

"Umuwi ka na. It's raining. Bukas na tayo magusap." his tone was so clipped.

Hindi naman sya ganito nung huli kaming magkausap. He is certainly not like this when he lured me into having sex! Gustong gusto kong magalit at sigaw sigawan sya. Pero nangangamba ako sa kalagayan ng dinadala ko.

"B-but-"

Gusto ko pa sana syang pigilan pero pumasok na sya sa gate. "Sige na, Hera, umuwi ka na, I can't drive you home now. I'm busy, I'm sorry."

Naiintindihan ko naman na busy sya. Viktor is hard working as much as he's ambitious. Pero gaano ba kaimportante ang trabaho kumpara sa kalagayan ko ngayon. I am his girlfriend and I am f-ucking pregnant!

Hindi ko na napigilan ang pagluha nang saraduhan ako ng gate ni Viktor at dirediretso syang pumasok sa loob ng bahay nila. Tangina! Ganon na lang? Ganon na lang yon? Pagkatapos nyang magpakasasa sa katawan ko? Pagkatapos ng paulit ulit naming pagsesex, pagkatapos niyang magpakasarap, ganon? Ganon na lang?

Putangina!

Tumalikod ako habang humihikbi sa ilalim ng ulanan. Naghalo na ang ulan, luha at uhog sa mukha ko. Hindi parin maputol putol ang paghagulgol ko.

Nakayuko akong naglakad palayo nang maramdaman kong nawala ang patak ng malakas na ulan. Napatingala ako. I saw kuya Noah, my adopted brother, towering me. Pinapayungan nya ako at mataman na tinitigan.

Ang susunod na namalayan ko ay nasa bisig na nya 'ko.
