Chapter 11: Crochet Wedding Dress

"Harrison..." I called him several times now as I tried to wake him up in the morning after that...

"Hmm..." bahagya lang naman siyang gumalaw pero hindi pa rin nagigising.

I sighed and crossed my arms to my chest. Gutom na ako. I pouted.

"Harrison, please wake up now. If you don't, mauuna na lang akong lumabas sa'yo rito at kakain na ako ng breakfast sa restaurant." sabi ko.

Gumalaw naman muli siya at bumaling na sa banda ko. Nakadapa siya ng higa kanina sa kama namin, still naked, and his face on the pillows...

I saw his eyes opened, too. And it met mine. Then suddenly I was reminded of all the things we did, or he did to me just last night. I can feel my cheeks getting warm, and I looked away from him a bit. Somehow I feel a little embarrassed...

"You're hungry? Sorry, I overslept..." Pagkatapos ay bumangon na rin siya at umupo sa kama.

While I gathered the blanket more around myself to cover my nakedness. I was already awake since about thirty minutes ago and waiting for him to wake up. But I couldn't get myself out of the bed yet...

"What time is it?" he asked me, at bahagya pa siyang nagkusot ng mga mata niya. And somehow I found his action a bit cute. He looked like a boy who just woke up from his sleep, matapos gisingin ng Mommy niya... Although he's already a perfectly grown man now...

Then he looked at me and he smiled. At kumunot naman na agad ang noo ko sa ngiti pa lang niyang 'yan. Dahil pakiramdam ko sa ngiti niya na may naisip na naman siyang kalokohan. "I was very much satisfied last night. Na ang ganda-ganda ng tulog ko ngayon. You see, I even overslept that very rarely happens..." he told me with a smile of mischief on his face.

Pinangunutan ko lang naman siya ng noo ko. Kung ano na naman ang sinasabi niya d'yan... But then I remember our few talks last night as well before we completely went through all that... and I ended up exhausted after...

He told me that I didn't have an idea about his own satisfaction... And now he's just telling me that he overslept because he was very satisfied... with me. And who else? Eh, ako lang naman ang nakasama niya kagabi...

I couldn't stop the smile that formed on my lips. And I somehow felt proud of myself. Tsk.

At least he was satisfied with me in bed...

"Ewan ko sa'yo. Please let's get off the bed now. I really want to have breakfast already..." I said.

At tumango na rin naman siya. At napatili pa ako nang bigla lang siyang umalis sa kama at naglakad na lang nang wala saplot dito sa loob ng villa namin!

"What?" natigilan din naman siya sa reaction ko.

"What's with you?! And you're walking around still n-naked in our villa in the morning?"

He just smirked at me. "As if you haven't seen everything yet. And I'm telling you that, dapat ay masanay ka na dahil mag-asawa na tayo ngayon..." Then he went to me and held my chin up. Then he just kissed my lips right away. At wala na akong nasabi pa. Halos matulala na lang din ako sa kaniya. Pero pinili kong pangunutan na lang siya ng noo.

"Why aren't you getting out of bed yet?"

"Well, that's..." because I feel like my legs would just end up trembling the moment I stand up from here! Kasi parang ang sakit din ng katawan ko... Lalo na ang gitna ng mga hita ko...

And there's an obvious small stain of blood in our perfectly white sheets now. It's my blood... Natakot pa nga ako. But then I remember that maybe because it was my first time...

And Harrison Abella was just hard to take in... fully... Oh my goodness! I just sighed. I feel like I was getting stress just by thinking...

"It's all right... I'm sorry." Pagkatapos ay nilapitan niya ako para buhatin na paalis ng kama. Mabilis naman akong napakapit sa mga braso at leeg niya. And I also did not expect that he would just carry me up in his arms to get me out of bed. "Was I a little too rough with you last night? I'm sorry..." then he lovingly kissed my cheek...

Napatingin lang naman ako sa kaniya habang binuhat niya na lang ako papasok ng bathroom. Then Harrison helped me get myself ready. Halos siya pa ang nagsuot sa akin ng mga damit ko. He took care of me after owning me last night...

"We'll just have our breakfast here in the villa instead. You're still tired to go out. It's okay. You must rest first."

Hindi na lang naman ako sumagot pa sa sinabi niya.

At hindi na nga muna kami lumabas sa villa at doon na lang muna kumain ng almusal...

But then the next day when I already felt much better about some body ache, and, well, Harrison made me rest on our second night here. Although he also looked a bit pitiful because he looked like he couldn't again have what he just had the other night, pero kasalanan niya rin naman. Because he was so strong on just our first night. Hindi ko tuloy kinaya, that he had to wait until I've recovered...

But the next day, I thought we were only staying in the resort for a couple of nights, but I didn't expect that we would stay there a day longer. And Harrison even have a surprise for me...

"What did you say? We'll get wed here again? But why?" medyo nalito pa ako sa sinabi niya lang sa akin ngayon.

He just shrugged his shoulders a bit. "Ayaw mo ba? I thought you wanted a beach wedding." He smiled at me. He remember.

My lips parted. Pero parang may mainit na kamay na ang humawak sa puso ko...

Then we did a little preparation for it. I still can't believe that we would have our second wedding here in this beautiful resort...

Napangiti na lang ako sa salamin habang naghahanda at tiningnan ko ang repleksyon ko roon na suot na itong white dress ko na pwede rin pangkasal kahit simple lang. It was actually the dress that I made through crochet material. Because I used to do this with my mom before... Magaling din kasi si Mama sa ganito at parang naging hobby na rin namin dati...

Medyo nakaramdam naman ako nang konting kalungkutan sa pag-iisip ko kay Mama. I also miss my mother. I miss her a lot...

At isa pa ay beach wedding naman ito. At kami lang din ni Harrison at ilang taong inimbita niya para magkasal muli sa amin at maging witness din. And it was just Diego, Harrison's secretary who was our witness.

So I think that this white and simple yet pretty crochet wedding dress would just suit me fine.

Napatingin agad sa akin si Harrison nang makita niya na ako na nakaayos at handa nang pakasalan siya muli. Mabuti na lang at nagdala rin ako ng konting makeup ko, and also some hair tools and accessories, kaya naman may nagamit ako sa pag-aayos ko sa sarili ko para ngayong araw.

And I actually feel happy. Pakiramdam ko nga ay mas masaya pa ako ngayon kaysa sa naging kasal namin ni Harrison sa malaking simbahan. Although I also appreciate that, of course. Pero parang mas masaya at magaan lang din talaga ang pakiramdam ko ngayon sa pangalawang beses na ikakasal pa kami ni Harrison.

I smiled at him. "I'm ready!" I happily told him.

And he smiled at me, too, then he took my hand and lead me outside to marry me again...

And I was indeed smiling the whole time of the little ceremony we had. It was simple yet it was peaceful and quiet. At parang ang sarap damhin sa puso ng mga nangyari nang mga sandaling iyon. And that I would surely keep it in my heart and engrave it in my memories as a happy and memorable one. Because I truly liked it. I'll keep that memory of our second wedding at the beach resort like a treasure.
