Kabanata 9: Pleasure

Sabi nila, lahat ng bagay na nangyayari sa atin ay may dahilan. Puweding ngayon mo malaman o pagkatapos nito. Pweding matuto ka sa kalagitnaan, o pagkatapos mo masaktan. Just continue to keep forward, even with all the uncertainty or bumps that you may face through. You'd realize its purpose eventually.

My life is filled with darkness. Instead of chasing the light, I stay with my seat and conquer the black room with my thorn. But, there are people who wanted me out of that darkness. These are the people who cares for me. Pero naisip ko, katulad ng ibang pangyayari, may dahilan din kaya ang pagmamahal na para sa akin? Kasi hindi lahat ay siguradong magugustuhan mo ang rason nila.

Was their love too shallow? Or is it a sign of betrayal?

Pinikit ko ang mga mata ko at inalala ang mga natatanging pangyayari na nagpasaya sa akin.

The private plane landed at exactly 1 in the afternoon. Ali bought me to one of their ancestral home, here in Romblon. Medyo malayo ang biyahe. When I saw the ocean, I thought we have finally arrived pero, patikim lang pala 'yon lalo nang sumakay kami sa kanilang yacht. Isang matanda na taga pamalaga ang nag assist sa amin sa daungan pero ng umalis, kaming dalawa na lang ulit.

This trip was very discreet, courtesy of me. Ayoko na malaman ng kahit na sino na magkasama kami. I don't want a controversy with him. Malaking dagok na nga ang naging issue ko kay Laude. Hindi ko na alam kung paano ko pa mapapaliwanag kung ma-involved si Ali.

I'm starting to love his company. Aside from his constant jokes, his understanding is what comforts me. Alam mo 'yung hindi siya nagtatanong pero parang ramdam niya kung ano 'yung nararamdaman ko.

I like it when I'm not always explaining myself.

Malakas ang hangin, kaya naman ang malakas din ang hampas ng mga alon sa amin. I can't help but get mesmerized by the beauty of the blue ocean. It's so perfect yet dangerous.

I inhaled the salty fresh air. Dito pa lang, parang na-relax na ako.

"Welcome to my mother's ancestral home." He smiled.

Natigilan ako. "I didn't expect it to be a private island, Ali. Akala ko..."

There's a beautiful isle in front of us. Sa gitna, naka tayo ang isang napaka laking mansion. The design was old Spanish architecture. Tanaw rin ang malaking swimming pool sa harapan nito, habang napapalibutan na ng nagtataasang puno ang mansion.

"Ang ganda," hindi ko mapigilan mapanganga.

My family is rich. We have our ancestral home in Pangasinan. We have mansions from different regions, but, not like this... kind of luxury. For you to have your own island, how expensive can that be?

Dinala ko ang paper bag na may lamang bagong biling damit. Hindi naman kami magtatagal dito. 1 or 2 days? Gustuhin ko 'man, pero may kaylangan akong harapin sa reyalidad kong buhay.

Siyempre, mas lalo akong mamamangha sa mismong loob ng bahay. Malinis ang loob at halatang may taga pangalaga. I saw lots of ancient vase, and their family frames on the wall.

Isa isa kong tinignan ang malalaking frame na nasa pader. Ang litrato ay mukhang kinuha pa noong 1800. Makisig ang itsura, ruthless look like Ali's eyes.

"Is this your ancestors?"

"He is Josè Carlos Zobel, the founder of Zobel Industries. He started the company in Spain when he was my age, then, he transferred it here to help the Spaniards colonize the Philippines."

Humakbang ako patungo naman sa kasunod nitong frame. It was dated 1905.

"Josè Carlos Zobel II, his son?"

"Yes, and the name was passed down to my father. He's the sixth."

"I wonder why he didn't made you his seventh?" biro ko.

"Because my mother wanted a better name for me."

I snorted. "Antonius? Right. I think your name suits you much better."

We went to the dining hall. Man, it is so huge and spacious. I wasn't even amazed by the 18th seater table, but the large chandelier on the ceiling. It looks extravagant.

"Want to see the lanai? The best place for coffee."

Ngumisi ako, "or scotch."

"Masiyado kang alcoholic. Have you tried toning it down a little bit?"

"Hindi naman ako alcohol dependent. Mas malakas lang talaga akong uminom kapag kaylangan kong magisip, galit or stress. Lately, madalas kong nararamdaman ang mga 'yon."

Kumintab ang mata ko ng masilayan ang swimming pool. Tinakbo ko agad 'yun. I opened the large glass sliding door. Sinampal agad ako ng sariwang hangin. I took out my phone and capture the beautiful scenery from here. The pool and the ocean.

Bumaba ako at nag hubad ng tsinelas. I also remove my shirt and shorts. Hindi na ako nag alangan pa at nag dive agad. Ang sarap maligo. The warm water soothes my body.

"Adi,"

Antonius is standing at the doorway, leaning his shoulder against the door. He's watching me, smiling. Tsaka ko lang na-realized na bigla akong nag hubad. Although I was wearing bra and panty.

Wait, damn it! I was wearing a thong!

"Gusto mong lumangoy?"

"Sure,"

Bumaba rin siya agad. He remove his slippers and started taking off his clothes. I noticed his clean and massive built. Halata na madalas siya sa gym dahil sa complete six pack abs niya and damn those biceps. When he start unbuttoning his belt, I felt nervousness. Lalo nung hinubad niya ang kaniyang pantalon at tanging boxer na lang ang naiwan.

He goes for a swift dive. Nasa dulo ako ng pool at hindi ako magugulat kung nandito na siya sa harap ko pagkatapos.

Matangkad ako, kaya naman ang tubig ay hanggang dibdib ko lang pero nung umahon siya, parang nasa pinaka mababaw pa rin. Lumapit siya sa akin, namumungay ang mata.

"You're so beautiful, Adi." he said.

Hinawi niya ang takas na buhok ko. Nakaramdam ako ng pag init ng dumampi ang palad niya sa pisngi ko. I obviously liked it kaya hindi ko naiwasan ang mapa pikit.

He came closer to me. Mas lalo akong kinabahan. Halos mag dikit ang mga balat namin. I put my palm on his hard chest.

Whatever this is, it is nothing. For him, this must be only our lust for each other. I would never expect anything from him. I told you, kontento na ako na mag kaibigan kami. And if he will never talk to me again after this, I would understand.

I don't care if this is just lust for him. Wala rin akong pakialam kung anong maramdaman ko pagtapos nito. Simply because this... made me happy.

I tiptoed to reach his lips. Ako na ang nauna. I kissed him. I thought it was only gonna be a peck but he responded, slowly. My nerves started crushing down. Masiyadong umiinit ang buong katawan ko at hindi ito dahil sa init ng araw.

I started to become aggressive with our kisses because I couldn't take it anymore. I was soo turn on. Damn it! I felt my knees weaken. Bumigat ang palad ko sa kaniyang dibdib na waring nanghihingi ng suporta. His hand is on my face, and the other was now on my back.

"Antonius,"

His hand starts exploring my body. Tumigil siya sa paghalik sa akin at bumaba na sa aking leeg. I felt my bra clasped. He threw it somewhere and start massaging my breast. Bumaba ang halik niya papunta sa dibdib ko.

"Ahh," I can't help but moan when I felt his tongue on my nipple.

Pinagpapalitan niya ang dalawa, mabilis at nakakahumaling.

His hand scooped my butt and pinched it. Pati don ay napa ungol ako. Binaba niya ang panty ko. I helped him do that. His finger touched what's in between my thigh.

"Ahhh,"

He's playing it and while I did nothing but moan. I tried to reach his manhood but he snapped gently my hand. Nagulat ako ng buhatin niya ako gamit lang ang dalawang kamay niya para paupuin sa simento.

"Part your legs,"

"Wha—"

He parted it and dive his mouth on my peek. Mas lalong lumakas ang ungol ko. I'm so nude, hubad na hubad akong naka bukaka habang busy siyang nilalantakan ang pagaari ko.

Napa sabunot ako sa kaniya sa sarap.

"Antonius! Damn it!"

"Not yet, baby..."

Why won't he stop? I opened my eyes and watch him enjoying it. Then it hit me. Bigla kong naramdaman na parang may sasabog sa akin.

"Ali, wait stop—"

But he didn't fucking stop!

My body convulsed when it finally exploded. Mas lumakas ang sabunot ko sa kaniya ng dilaan niya 'to.

"You're fucking nuts!"

"Shut up, Arden. We're not yet done. Come down here,"

He looks very lustful, like a man who hasn't even started yet. Tinulungan niya akong maka baba sa pool ulit. I think I know where this is going.

"Turn around baby,"

I did what he said. Sinandal ko ang harap ko sa pader ng pool and I bent my body towards him at the back. In one swift yet gentle move, he enter me gracefully. Napapikit ako sa harap.

"Fuck," he groaned.

Mukhang napigtas ang pasensya na kanina niya pa tinitiis. He started hammering my body. Deeper and faster.

"Ahhhh, Antonius... aaahhhh.."

Halos yumanig ang buong sistema ko sa sobrang lakas ng pag galaw niya. Walang ibang maririnig kundi mga ungol ko lang na sarap na sarap sa ginagawa niya.

This is my first ever fucking fuck underwater.

Nagulat ako ng tumigil siya at bunutin niya.

"Face me baby, and spread your legs."

Humarap ako sa kaniya. His bloodshot eyes tells me he's not over yet. I spread my legs apart, I arched my arm on his shoulder so I could have support, then he enter me again.

Mas masarap kaysa kanina!

"Ohhhh, shit, ahhh..."

"Ahhh, baby..."

Mas lalong bumilis ang galaw niya. I feel like he's also ready to explode. His thrust went deeper. Halos mga ungol namin ay nagsasabay. We are looking at each other's eyes, feeling the pleasure from our body.

"Ahh, Arden... I'm..." then I felt it explode inside me. Hingal na hingal kami parehas. He rested his chin on my shoulder, like we're hugging each other.

"Was I good?" he asked.

"So much better," I chuckled.

"Ang sarap mo, baby."

Natawa ako sa biro niya. But damn it. That was hot!
