Mothers never abandon their children because children always reside in their mother's heart no matter how the hell happen. –jazlykdat

[Tissue please para sa tears of joy. Nakakaiyak naman kasi si Ayder. Haha!]

Vander Lewis

"Shit! Vander! Ohhhh faster!" The Aubrey's voice echoed inside the bathroom as Vander pushes his hardness on her wet core. Hindi nila alintana ang nakasasagabal na suot nitong gown.

Mas malakas pa yata ang ungol nito kaysa sa music sa lawn at pool area ng mga Filan. They are inside the bathroom on the first floor of their house. Hindi na talaga sila nakaabot sa taas.

Vander took Aubrey's hand while she was talking to some guests. Akala nito ay kung saan niya ito dadalhin.

Nagkaintindihan lamang sila nang ipasok niya ito sa banyo at agad na nilakumos ng halik.

Nakaangat na sa ere si Aubrey at nakasandal sa pintuan habang pabilis ng pabilis ang kanyang pag-ulos.

"Oh god Vanderrr. Baka hina—ahhh hanap na... tayo...ohhh!" Aubrey moaned and screamed. Pero wala siyang pakialam. Kanina pa niya gustong itakas ang asawa mula sa kumpol ng mga bisita.

"I'm making it ummmhhp fast," Vander moaned in her ear as he thrusts deeper.

He banged her hard on the door. It was fast and hard like they are running out of time.

"Oh yeah...that's it! Oooohhh!" Aubrey screamed and moaned with his intense thrusts. Mas lalo niyang iniangat ang mga hita nito.

Her moaning did not stop. Mas lalo pa nitong ipinulupot ang mga hita sa baywang niya na nakadagdag sa sarap na nararamdaman niya. The feeling of her wet core around his manhood feels good. Her hands are clasped on his nape.

"Hey! Why?" kunot-noong tanong nito nang tumigil siya panandalian.

Hindi siya sumagot bagkus ay pinindot ang pulang button sa pinto. Napansin niya kasing kanina pa may pumipindot sa pintuan tanda na mayroong gustong pumasok ng banyo.

"Shhhh..." bulong niya sa asawa. Nanatili naman itong nakayakap sa kanya. He could feel her heart beating fast.

"Vander! The program isn't done yet."

He closed his eyes when he heard his dad's voice. ISTORBO!

"Do you think narinig niya tayo?" bulong ni Aubrey sa tainga niya. He didn't even need to answer. His dad spoke again.

"Finish that fast! Hinahanap na kayo ng Mommy niyo at ang makulit niyong maid-of-honor." Saad nito.

He looked at Aubrey. Pinamulahan pa ito pero halatang bitin na bitin sa nangyayari.

"I told you. They'll look for us." Saad nito.

"Ang ingay mo kasi," tudyo niya rito. Napatawa siya. Mas lalo naman itong pinamulahan.

"Kainis ka! Bilisan mo na lang kasi," saad nito. Mas lalo siyang napatawa. Akala niya ay bibitaw na ito at ayaw nang ituloy ang ginagawa nila.

"Ano na?" She asked smirking at him. Saka lang siya napatigil sa pagtawa.

He kissed her torridly as he started pushing his manhood again. Halos mapugto ang hininga niya sa bilis ng paglabas-masok sa asawa. But he doesn't mind, ginanahan na kasi siya sa init ng paglukob ng pagkababae nito sa kaibuturan niya.

"Vander ahhh, put me down," Aubrey hissed. Ayaw sana niyang tumigil dahil paparating na siya sa sukdulan pero marahas siya nitong itinulak.

Dahan-dahan niyang hinugot ang kanyang sandata mula sa mainit nitong pagkababae.

Napangiti naman ang asawa at itinaas ang gown. She turned around.

"Hold my gown," she commanded. Hinawakan naman niya ang laylayan ng gown nito hanggang sa baywang.

He smiled inwardly when Aubrey bended and pushed the door.

"Change position, huh?" he teased.

"Shut up! Make it fast," saad nito. Napangiti na lamang siya at walang sere-seremonyang pinasok ang asawa. His manhood filled her wet core.

"Ohhh, this is better," Aubrey mumbled.

"Yeah, I feel you," he said before he started pounding fast and hard.

"Ohhh, shittt...aaaahhh" Aubrey moaned. Mas lalo niyang binilisan ang paglabas-masok. Her hot wetness encircling his manhood feels deliciously great. Hindi mapigilang mapaungol habang pabilis ng pabilis ang kanyang paggalaw. He gripped her waist tightly as he pushed himself in and out harder and faster.

Aubrey was right their position is a lot better. Nakakapagpawala ng huwisyo.

It didn't take long before they both feel their orgasm.

He helped her clean up before going out of the bathroom.

They went back to the wide lawn, where the wedding reception is happening.

"Where have you been?" tanong ng makulit nilang maid-of-honor nang makaupo sila sa puwesto nila sa harap.

"Your mom got a headache. Uminom lang saglit ng gamot," tugon niya kay Desiry.

"Fifteen minutes siyang uminom ng gamot?" pangungulit pa rin nito. Aubrey looked at him glanced at her watch.

"Fifteen minutes nga," she mumbled smiling at him. Sapat lang na marinig nilang dalawa. Pinigilan niya ang sariling mapatawa.

"Dad?" Desiry eyed him suspiciously.

"What?" Patay-malisya niyang tanong.

His daughter smiled devilishly.

"Kilala na kita dad. Kapag nawawala ka na lang bigla, nambababae ka." She muttered. He heard Aubrey laughed. Wala talaga siyang kawala kay Desiry.

"Bakit? Mommy niyo naman ang kasama ko ah?" tugon na lamang niya.

"Sabagay," Desiry said laughing.

They all looked at Ayder when he went to the podium. He is their best man. Dirran is also one of the groom's men. How he wished Deshima could already walk. Ito sana ang flower girl. Pero matagal pa kung hihintayin nila ito.

"Perhaps, the worst thing that could happen to a child is to grow up without a mother." Ayder stated. His voice almost broke. Lahat ay napatingin rito.

Inakbayan niya ang asawa at hinalikan sa noo. She must not feel bad about Ayder's remark.

"It takes a lot of getting used to seeing my friends being hugged by their mothers' tightly as they watch them get inside the school." Ayder said honestly. Everyone became quiet. Pati ang mga nagse-serve ay napatigil din.

Tiningnan niya ang asawa. He could feel that she's about to cry kahit na nakangiti ito sa sinasabi ng anak. He kissed her hair. Yumakap naman ito sa baywang niya.

"Sobrang nakaiinggit... Nasanay kaming walang kasamang ina...But then, ate Desiry and I made it through." Ayder said and smiled at him.

"Thanks to Dad and our grandparents." Pinaglipat nito ang tingin mula sa direksyon nila ni Aubrey papunta sa mga magulang niya.

"I always defined mother as Mee Lianna or Tita Vanna or ate Desiry." He stated.

"When mom came back two years ago and something bad happened between her and dad. I got so mad. Mas higit pa sa galit ko bago siya bumalik. I cursed the day I ever saw her again."

He saw Aubrey wiped a tear. He wants to stand up and stop Ayder from talking pero pinigilan siya ng asawa na tumayo. Ngumiti pa ito sa kanya.

"Kaya noong sinabi ni dad na nagkita ulit sila ni Mommy at inamin niyang mahal pa niya at gusto niyang magkabalikan sila. I told him he's stupid."

He remembered that exact scene. It was the night after Aubrey went to get the signed contract in his office. Gustong-gusto niya noong lumabas ng opisina habang kausap ito ni Marlene pero pinigilan niya ang sarili. It was something he had to do out of shame.

"Then one night, he came home and told us that we need to be a family again for the sake of our two younger siblings. May mga kapatid pala kami. Like what the hell?"

Hinigpitan niya ang pag-akbay sa asawa dahil tuluyan na itong umiyak.

"Hindi ko maintindihan noon. Mom hurt all of us. She kept our siblings away. Why would he still want her?" Ayder muttered.

He kept kissng Aubrey's hair to pacify her. Her shoulders are already shaking.

"Dad's answer left me totally speechless." Ayder inhaled deeply before continuing.

"He said, wouldn't you want your siblings to experience what you and Desiry did not?"

It is the first time he saw Ayder broke into tears in public. His son always mask himself with toughness.

"No matter how I hated mom, being a child, if I had a choice, I'd still want to be with her..." His voice broke as well.

He could see most of the guests are also wiping a tear. Ni hindi na nga nila magawang tumingin sa anak.

"I won't ever forget what Mee said. If the worst thing that could happen to a child is grow up without a mother. Perhaps the worst thing that could also ever happen to a mother is not being able to see her children grow up."

Napatingin siya sa ina na tahimik ding nagpupunas ng luha.

"I'm sorry, mommy. You didn't deserve all the hate that I bestowed on you. I know that if I was hurt before, it hurts you MORE."

There was a long silence. Aubrey also inhaled deeply trying to regain her momentum.

"I guess Mee Lianna is absolutely right when she said that mothers never abandon their children because children always reside in their mother's heart no matter how the hell happen."

Aubrey looked at his mom and smiled. Tinanguan din ito ng mommy niya nang may pagmamahal. Aubrey's parents and siblings also looked at his mom. Their faces spoke of gratefulness.

"When I saw Dirran, I understood why you never came back for me and ate. Dirran needs you more than us." Ayder said smiling at his mother.

Nakahinga siya ng maluwag nang ngumiti na rin si Aubrey sa wakas.

"And then I saw how happy dad is. I haven't seen him that happy since time I can remember."

Napangiti siya sa sinabi ng anak. Aubrey even tapped his chest when she saw him smiling.

"Thank you mom for painting that smile on Dad's face. Thank you for making us all happy by embracing dad again."

Napatango si Aubrey sa sinabi ng anak.

"Thank you for making me believed in happy family. No matter what happened in the past, I still love you."

Aubrey smiled and nodded. There was a moment of silence before Ayder raised his glass for a toast.

"Hear ye everyone, I'm raising my glass to mom and dad's long overdue happy ever after na muntik nang nakalimutan ng tadhana." Natatawa nitong saad. Napatawa naman ang mga tao.

"Cheers!" Ayder said aloud. Nagtoast naman silang lahat.

Ayder came to them and hugged them tight. Aubrey kept mumbling "sorry." Malugod namang tinanggap ng anak ang sorry nito. He even said she doesn't need to say sorry. Aubrey hugged him for a while before releasing him with a smile.

Desiry went up the podium after.

"Ang drama ni Ayder ayoko nang gano'n." natatawa nitong umpisa. People laughed. Pati ang asawa niya ay napapatawa habang pinupunas ang mga mata.

"Mula nagkaisip ako sa tuwing titingnan ko yung mata ni Dad, brown ang nakikita kong kulay." Natatawa nitong pahayag.

Nagkatinginan silang mag-asawa. Brown naman talaga ang mga mata niya.

"Ewan ko pero napansin ko lately, hazel pala ang kulay ng mga mata niya." She added with a chuckle.

"Truth is. I never truly saw who dad really is until mom went back to his life." She uttered seriously.

They all listen to her intently.

"Marunong din pala siyang tumawa na parang wala nang bukas."

Napangiti siya sa binanggit ng anak.

"Marunong din pala siyang magtampo sa maliliit na bagay."

Naalala niya ang pagkapikon niya minsan sa mga anak na hindi nangyari noong wala pa si Aubrey. Kahit kasi ano ang sinasabi ng mga ito noon wala siyang pakialam. Pero noong ipinagtatanggol na siya ng asawa parang nasasaktan na rin siya para sa sarili niya. Maybe because he felt like somebody already cared for him. Corny but true.

"He was always strong before until mom came back. I saw his weakness." Desriy said smiling.

"Kaya 'yong may galit kay daddy diyan. Alam niyo na kung paano siya gagantihan." She added laughing.

Lokong bata.

"Joke lang! I'm sure dad won't let you hurt mom if you'd attempt to. Haha!" bawi nito. Napailing na lang siya sa kalokohan ng anak.

"Like Ayder, pinangarap ko ring makasama si Mommy noong bata ako pero gano'n yata talaga hindi lahat pinapalad makasama ang mga nanay nila habang lumalaki." Seryoso nitong pahayag.

"But if there is one thing it taught me. That is to remain grounded kahit ano pa man ang gusot ng mga magulang natin."

He smiled at his daughter's wisdom. She really is that one person who kept him grounded all these years.

"Hindi kailanman damay ang mga anak sa gusot ng mga magulang. Sila lang ang puwedeng mag-break. Tayong mga anak, hindi naman puwedeng makipagbreak sa mga magulang." She said with a smile.

He saw how Aubrey smiled at Desiry. Hindi maikakaila ang paghanga nito sa anak.

"Kahit bali-baliktarin natin ang mundo, hindi natin puwedeng piliin ang mga magulang natin."

"God gave us the exact kind of parents that we need and all we have to do is embrace what He gave us." The way she said was just so serene.

He's happy to see how Desiry's catholic school upbringing materializes. Hindi nasasayang ang ibinabayad niya sa school nito. Hehe!

"It would always be our choice kung mapapasama tayo o hindi. Hindi kailanman natin puwedeng isisi sa mga magulang natin kung nagkandaloko-loko ang buhay natin. It was our choice to be good despite and inspite of everything."

Puwede na yatang maging counselor ang anak niya.

"As for me, I am happy for my parents. Dahil sa kabila ng sakit na naranasan nila in the past. They chose to fix their relationship."

Ngumiti ito at tumingin sa mga bisita.

"The easiest way was going out but they chose the hard one. It took them several years but I am happy for both of them."

"It's never too late to experience a happy family, bro." saad nito sa kapatid. Itinaas naman ni Ayder ang hawak na wine glass at nginitian ang kapatid.

"Saka kahit anong edad, kailangan pa rin naman natin ng mga magulang and knowing that they are happy, we also should be happy." She added with a serious tone. Pinisil niya ang balikat ng asawa. Napangiti naman ito at yumakap ng mahigpit sa kanya.

"Kaya, isang toast para sa dalawang baliw na tao diyan na pinaabot pa ang mahigit isang dekada bago nagkapatawaran." She said chuckling. Napatawa ang lahat.

"Nagsayang pa ng mahigit sampung taon, magkakabalikan din naman." Irap nito. Aubrey even laughed.

"Honestly and seriously speaking, I am the happiest today. So, cheers everyone!"
