AKIKO'S POV

Ever since that day, Sky's already keeping her distance away from me. I guess I overdid it.

I just want to get close to her.

Is it bad?

I want to know her better. I want to make her feel comfortable when she's around me. I won't make it long.

Interesado ako sa kaniya. Or should I say, na love at first sight ako. Katangahan, pero totoo. Kahit ako hindi ako makapaniwalang magiging ganito ang dating niya sakin.

Fuck! I don't even want to call her my student but I have no choice. I saw her first at the entrance gate that time. She's just walking while waving and smiling to everyone.

I said, 'lucky' to see an angel here in such place. She doesn't look like she's belong in this school. Sa unang tingin nga ay mukha siyang anak mayaman at suplada. Parang nabigyan agad ako ng warning na maaring marami akong kaagaw dahil maganda siya, at imposible na wala siyang nobyo.. So a part of me have a mission plan. And that is,

Stole the woman with angelic face. The most interesting game I've ever played.

I have a motto, 'What Akiko wants, Will Akiko gets'.

And I plan to have her.

I silently cussed. Am I really filthy lucky? I saw a girl dancing at my new advisory class. She's really good, ang galing ng reflexes ng katawan niya, na saulo ko din agad ang step niya. Hindi niya ata ako nahalata kaya pinanuod ko lang siya..

Men are drooling over her..

Psh, I don't care. I have my Angel already.

Then she turn—

'Shit! That's MY angel!' I shouted inside me. I really am filthy lucky!

Buong class ay sa kanya lang ako naka tingin. Sobrang amo ng mukha nya. Gusto ko tumawa, lukot na ang mukha nya, makita pa lang yung numbers na isinulat ko. She's really something! I'm lucky na ako pa ang adviser nya.

Pero akala ko ako lang ang swerte. Kung minamalas nga naman, may dumating na totoy at hinalikan ang anghel ko. Kaya ito syempre.. NANG GALAITI ako.

So I took all the opportunity to make her my apprentice. I don't like what I saw, it made my blood boil. In that, I know Sky is mine already.

"Ms. Tsui?" ako

"Sir. Absent po." Mr. Cruz, yung totoy na inirereto si Sky.. Pangalan pa lang pang Angel na.

"Alright." then called another name.

She's absent again huh? Kahapon din ay absent siya sa lahat except sa last period. Ano naman kaya ang dahilan? Actually, wala ako'ng gana mag turo dahil wala naman yung angel ko. Pero kailangan. Bwisit kasi'ng matanda yon, gusto ako matuto makihalubilo sa iba!

Saka gusto ng lolo ko na i-manage ko ito'ng school nya. Psh, i don't need this trash school. I'm a business man. Mas gusto ko mag mukmok sa office kesa makakita ng mga sakit saulo'ng estudyante. Mabuti na nga lang at andyan ng angel ko. Hindi ako na bo-bored.

Sinumulan ko na yung topic namin. Dahi rin siguro sa lutang ako ay mabilis natapos ang oras. Natapos lahat but this time, even yung last subject ko sa hapon ay hindi nya pinasukan. What's wrong with her? Nakaka banas!

Wala tuloy ako'ng matitigan!

Naka tingin lang ako sa labas ng bitana. Trying to figure out what she's doing. Nakak baliw sya! Sa kanya lang ako ganito. Pero ayos lang, remembering the fact that she's 19years old and at legal age made me happy. Means hindi na ako child abuse, right? 3 years age gap does not a problem.

I heave a deep breath. "Have you eaten, angel?"

"Absent." Mr. Perez, the kid who kissed my Angel. Can I just drop him in my class?

Naiinis na ako! Inayos ko yung gamit ko na kalalapag ko pa lang sa table then look for the president of this room. I took my phone to see what time is it.. 9:05am.

"Alright, class. I have an emergency, do whatever you want but be sure you won't disturb other classes."

Umalis agad ako. Pumunta muna ako sa head office at gumawa ng alibi na nangyari sa bahay ko, which is lie. Kinuha ko sa table ko yung form ni Sky, yes pupuntahan ko sya,.

Hindi ko kasi gusto ang nararamdaman ko. I feel like something happened to her. I dialled her home telephone but no one's answering. Nakita ko duon kung saan ang address nya and seruiously, parang alam ko kung saan iyon, medyo familiar kasi. Sumakay na ako sa kotse ko saka pinaharurot ito.

Malakas ang ulan at hangin. Madulas na rin ang daan, I can't even see my way clearly! Curse this typhoon! Huminto ako kung saan naka lagay sa GPS ko ang location ng bahay ni Sky, at halos mapa iling ako..

"You must be kidding me..?" ako

She's living..

In one of my condominium buliding?

Dumeretso ako sa receptionist. Gulat na sinalubong nila ako. Someone is about to get me some towel when I told them to look for her. If she's really ling in one of the prestigious condominium in the Philippines.

Nang sabihin iyon ay agad ako sumakay ng elevator then pressed the top floor, the penthouse.

I can't believe what the receptionist told me.. She's very misterious.. So it means.. Mayaman sya... Or my Benefactor sya..? Sino? Malaki ba ang binibigay sa kanya para mabili nya yung penthouse ko? Anong kapalit? Ang puri nya? Fuck, malaman ko lang kung sino iyon, gigilitan ko ng leeg!

I can be her benefactor if she want!

'Check the monitor if there is Sky Johan Tsui living in one of my pads.' me. after a minute of checking.

'Yes Sir. She's at the penthouse on top of the building. She bought it 5 years ago and started living there 4 years ago.'

Kinuha ko rin yung double key ng penthouse nya. Incase lang. So matagal na sya'ng naka tira dito.

*TING!

Lumabas agad ako ng elevator at dumeretso sa pintuan nya. I tried to calm myself then pressed the doorbell.

*ding dong

*ding dong

*ding dong

*ding dong

WHAT THE FUCK!?

I'm about to swipe the card key when it opened..

Then saw a pale, weak and teary angel.. Nagulat pa sya ng makita ako pero umalis agad sya ng pinto at pumasok, does that mean pumasok ako? Hindi ko sya naabutan sa sala kaya tinignan ko sa kusina. Wala din sya duon kaya sa banyo pero wala din. Wala ba'ng iba'ng tao dito bukod sa kanya?

Naka bukas yung isa sa mga kwarto duon kaya masuyo ko iyo'ng binuksan to see an angle sleeping in a petal position.. Hindi naman kaya..

"DAMN! You're burning in fever!" sigaw ko ng mahawakan ko sya.

"Mmm.."

"Wait, I'll take you at the hosp-"

"N-No... I-I'm fine.."

"Fine!? You're pale!"

Itinuro nya sakin yung tablet sa side table ng kama nya. Bioflu? Tinignan ko rin kung ano yung mga nasa lamesa nya, at puro

"Cup noodles? Hindi ka gagaling nyan!"

Tumayo na ako at akmang pupunta ng kusina ng bigla syang tumayo at hinawakan ang kamay ko. Shit, electric, curse the damn out of you!

"D-Don't leave.." hinahingal at paos na boses na sabi nya. Hot.

"Wait.. You're alone here, right?" wala akong nakitang tao dito eh.

Tumango lang sya. Inihiga ko sya sa kama nya at kinumutan, tatayo pa sana sya ng lalabas na ako ng pigilan ko uli sya. Umiiling sya saying she doesn't want me to leave her. I just smiled at her.

"I won't leave angel.. I'll just cook something.." dun lang sya bumitaw at tumalikod sakin.

I made a soup for her. Nang maka pasok ako sa kwarto nya, andun sya sa higaan at hingal na hingal. Ayoko sya'ng tignan.. Kahit ako nalang ang may sakit.. This woman can really make my heart melt. Inayos ko sya at dahan dahang pinaupo. Kukunin na nya sana yung kutsara na hawak ko ng ilayo ko iyon.

"W-What..?"

"I'll feed you.." tumango na lang sya.

Kahit nahihirapan sya, parang gusto ko tumalon sa tuwa.. Naalagaan ko sya ngayon.. Para kaming mag-asawa sa ginagawa namin.. Sinusubuan ko lang sya ng sabaw.

Matapos no'n ay pinainom ko sya ng gamot at nilagyan ng towel sa noo. Damn, ang taas parin ng lagnat nya. Mamaya tatawagan ko yung doctor ko to check her.. Maybe the reason why she's absent is because of fever.

Hindi ko napansin na naka tulog na pala sya. Napa ngiti ako dahil naka hawak sya sa laylayan ng polo ko. Tinawagan ko na yung doctor ko para matignan sya. But of course, naka tingin ako sa kanya. He might take advantage of my Angel so I must be sure. He told me that anytime soon, maaring bumaba ang lagnat nya.

But if it rise again, I have no choice but to confine her. Umalis rin ito saka ako nag karoon ng time na tignan ang buong bahay.. She loves the mixture of pink and white.. Just like typical girls. Hindi nga lang halata sa kanya dahil always syang naka black.

But very gloomy and suffocating.

I saw her pictures with her classmates, so talaga palang friendly sya? May nakita din ako'ng stolen shots nya. She's a photogenic..

"N-No.. Please.. N-No d-don't.. Please.."

Pumasok agad ako sa kwarto ni Sky. She's having a bad dream! Tinapik ko yung pisngi nya pero ayaw nya'ng gumising!

"Angel, wake up.. Angel!" tapik ko pa rin, pero wala!

"M-Mico.. A-Ayoko... l-lumayo ka.." Mico..?

"Angel wake up! Damnit Angel, I said wake up!"

"AAAHH!!"

Napa urong ako ng biglang bumangon si Sky.. She's sweatig a.. Is there something a lot and trembling.. What happened to her? And who the heck is that Mico, entering my Angel's dream?

"L-Lumayo ka sakin!" biglang sigaw nya.

Bigla nya'ng kinuha yung kumot nya at saka itinakip sz katawan nya habang naka tingin sakin ng masama..

"Wa-"

"Layo! S-Swear to God Mico, dare to touch me again, I will kill y-you!" did she got..

"Angle.. Shh, it's me.. Aki..." nakita ko'ng lumabot ang ekspresyon nya.

*LUB.. DUB..

She's.. hugging me..?

"A-Aki.. A-Aki.. Ilayo m-mo ko d-dito! Ilayo m-mo ko, a-andito na s-si Mico.. Aki..!"

"Hush, angel.. W-Who's Mico..?"

"Hindi mo s-sya kilala..? Aki si Mico... He's Mico!" kung nakita ko lang sya'ng uminom, masasabi ko pa na lasing sya. Ano'ng malay ko sa hinayupak na'yon!?

"Hey! Angel! Wake up!"

Bwisit! Nawalan na sya ng malay! Inayos ko sya saka iniwan sa kwarto. Tumingin ako sa bintana and jeez, ang lakas ng ulan, makaka-uwi pa ba ako?

Hapon na nang gumising si Sky, ewan ba, nag tataka ako sa sinasabi nya. Sino ba iyon at bakit kailangan hanggang sa panaginip ay dalawin sya? Hindi naman kaya ex-boyfriend nya iyon? Damn, where the hell is he right now, so I can kill him!

Napalingon ako sa pinto ng kwarto ni Sky at nakita sya duon na nakatayo at para'ng taka'ng-taka. Tumayo ako at nilapitan sya saka sinuri kung may lagnat pa. Thanks God naman at bumaba na iyon.

"Would you like to eat?"

"P-Prof.. A-Anu'ng ginagawa mo dito? S-Saka, pano mo nalaman na dito ako nakatira?"

"Psh. I'll cook."

Tinignan nya lang ako saka sinundan papuntang kusina. Habang nag luluto ako ay naka tingin lang sya sakin. yeah, tignan mo lang ako Angel, baka sakaling ma fall ka sakin. Kung bakit naman kasi mali ang pag kikita namin at estudyante ko pa sya!

Nang matapos ako mag luto ay inihain ko iyon sa kanya at tinignan lang sya. She's very pretty even her face is haggard. Kinain nya iyon ng wala'ng ingay. Grabe sya, ang konti nya kumain!

"Eat more." ako

"I can't eat that much." she's.. very fluent in english.

"How did you buy his penthouse?" Do you have benefactor?

"Ah.. Same question like others. How did I get this penthouse if I'm just an ordinary college student? Simple, I bought it." naka tingin sya sa kawalan.

"How?" daig ko pa ang imbistigador sa paraan ng pag tatanung ko.

"I was a prostitute. My parents can't provide my needs. They also left me hanging. So might as well use my body, right? Sexy naman ako." seryosong sagot nya at tumingin sa mga mata ko.

ASDFGHJKL!?

PROSTITUTE!?

Means.. Marami na'ng naka.. naka.. DAMNIT! Hindi ko alam pero para'ng tumabang ang ekspresyon ko sa kanya.

Malaman ko lang kung sinu-sino ang humawak sa kanya, pucha, puputulin ko ang mga alaga nila na kasing laki lang ng dairi ko sa paa!

Then..

"HAHAHAHA!!! Prof, your face is priceless!! Hahaha!" WTF!?

"What are you laughing!?" I'm busy planning my revenge. REVENGE!?

"Eh kasi, mukha'ng paniwala'ng paniwala ka! Joke lang naman iyon eh!" sabay tawa nya at may pahampas-hampas pa sa mesa.

"Huh?" naguguluhan ako. Ayaw na mag sink ng mga bagay sa utak ko bukod sa pag paplano kung paano ko tatagpasin ang mga hinayupak!

"I bought this penthouse 5 years ago. It cost 205M. How did I manage to live in such expensive pad. Simple as I can buy it. I have money and everything. Sayang naman kung hindi ko mababawasan." sumandal pa sya sa upuan.

"Huh?" that easy? For a kid like her?

"Yes. Bakit? Akala mo pulubi ako? Well, mas gusto ko mapag kamalan."

So hindi ako nag kamali. Anak-mayaman talaga sya. So.. hindi sya nag pagalaw sa mga kung sino lang?

"Are you still virgin?" her face is.. priceless

"Ano ba'ng tanung yan?!"

"Yes or No?"

"No."

"What?"

"No. I will never let someone enter me! Duh, mag ma-madre ako!"

"Ewan ko sayo. Bumalik ka na sa kwarto mo."

"ok!"

--

"Prof.. Uuwi ka na?" tinignan ko sya.

"Yeah. It's already 8:00pm."

"T-Teka, lapit ka muna dito."

Lumapit naman ako sa kanya. May lagnat pa rin sya, kahit ayaw ko umuwi, hindi pwede. I can feel myself wanting her, I have to control myself. Tsk, shit, kung iba lang sya, baka kahit may sakit sya ay ikinama ko sya.

I get shock when she chamfer her head on my chest. Then felt her warm breathing touch my skin. For fuck's sake, I'm wearing a thin polo! I get stiff when her hands are slowly unbottoning my polo.

She reached the last button.

Then she let it slid from my skin now I'm half naked. Damnit, she's giving an innocent but seductive look! How could she manage to do that!?

I really can't control myself! She's about to take it off of me, when I grab her face and land my lips.. on hers.. Fuck.. Her lips tastes.. so sweet.. I move a little and nibble her lower lips.. A smile form on my lips when I felt her trying to move.. She doesn't know how to kiss. I know women who's pretending but Sky.. She's really new to this.

I push her a little and let her back rest on her bed. Curses came from my mouth when my buddy down there is saying 'hi' already. How I wish she won't feel it! I closed my eyes as I see her wanting more.. Damn this woman, she can drive me crazy!

"M-Mmm.."

Fuck! She moan! Her moan is like a classical music to my ears. I want her so bad, but not now.. She's sick . I don't want her to get sick even more.

I feel relief when she pulled back. We're running out of breath when she look away while her face blushes even more. I smile and held her face. Pero nagulat pa rin ako dahil kinuha nya yung polo ko.

"Hey.. What are you going to do..?" me

Tumayo sya saka pumasok sa walk-in closet. Kumunot ang noo ko when I saw a polo.. For men? Ba't sya may ganyan? May inuuwi sya'ng lalaki dito sa bahay nya! I want to grab that polo and screw it apart when she hand it to me.

Hindi ko iyon kinuha kaya inilapag nya iyon sa kama. Nakakainis! Kinuha nya yung polo na suot ko at isinuot sa teddy bear na medium size. Para saan ba 'yon? Namumula yung pisngi nya na humarap sakin.

"Akin muna ito'ng polo mo.. Itatabi ko muna dahil feeling ko mamamatay ako dahil wala ako'ng kasama. Kung maamoy kita, hindi ako lulungkot." shit! Dito na lang kaya ako!?

"Ano'ng susuotin ko? Ito? I don't wear shirts na nasuo-" ako

"Ah.. Hindi mo ba gusto iyan? Isa'ng beses ko lang nasuot yan.."

"Kanino ba yan?" mamaya kung kanino pa iyan! Ano'ng malay ko kung may body odor yun!?

"Akin. Binili ko yan kaso sobrang laki, para akong naka dress. Ayaw mo ba? Ihahanap-"

"Akin na!" sinuot ko na agad iyon. Sa kanya daw eh. Yeii!

Gusto nya pa sana ako ihatid sa labas pero pinigilan ko sya. Hindi sya tumitingin ng diretso sakin kaya umiling lang ako. Typical girls who had their first kiss. Am I her first kiss? Of course not, she have a boyfriend- oh slash it, soon to be -ex-boyfriend. I got her lips now, her lips are now mine.

I kiss her lips for the last time and saw how her eyes gets widen. I walk and left her place while smiling, damn I looked like a teenage boy! Napa hawak ako sa labi ko, shit, ang lambot ng labi nya! I want her lips more, and that lips of her for sure can make a better way.
