MAYBE THIS TIME

“Anuman ang mangyari, I’ll be with you guys all the way”, he said.

I fell silent with his words. Hindi ko na napansin kung saan kami papunta after namin i-drop off ang mga bata sa bahay ng parents nya. Alex, was unusually quiet din buong byahe, or baka nagkukwento sya pero hindi ko naririnig dahil sobrang nilalamon ako ng thoughts ko. Sobrang naiistress ako sa mga tanong na hiindi ko alam kung gusto ko ba masagot or not.

“We’re here” anunsyo ni Alex na nagpabalik sa akin sa katotohanan.

Pagkaibis niya ng sasakyan ay nagtatakang nilingon nya si Alex. Alex just smiled, alam na nito kung bakit ganoon ang pagkakalukot ng mukha niya na tila ba nagtataka kung bakit nagpark ito sa tapat ng bahay nila. Iginiya sya pauna ni Alex na nakasunod naman sa kanya. Everything seemed ordinary, except sa fact na patay lahat ng ilaw sa bahay nila noong mga sandaling iyon.

Akmang bubuksan na sana niya ang front door ng pigilan at hatakin sya ni Alex palibot sa backdoor.

“Lex?” nagtatakang tanong nya dito.

Alex stopped on his track at alanganin syang nginitian nito. Sabay paliwanag na nagloloko na kasi ang lock ng pinto sa front door at kakakontak pa lang daw nito ng mag-aayos. He asked me to quickly change bago kami pumunta sa venue ng date. Pinagbigyan ko sya at ginawa ko na lang ang gusto nya without asking so many questions.

I was scanning my closet of anything fit for tonight’s event at ang nakita ko ay yung red na dress na iniregalo nya sa akin nung birthday ko. Agad akong nagpalit at nagbihis. Tinernuhan ko ito ng itim na sapatos. I have applied light make-up, gabi naman na, ayoko na ding mag-apply ng sobrang kapal na kolorete sa mukha ko.

Hindi ko alam kung mamamangha ba ako o magugulat sa nakita ko paglabas ng kwarto ko. Yung hallway na hanggang sa pagbaba ng hagdan ay nailawan gamit ang maliit na kandila. Rose petals are scattered on the floor as well, para bang sinasabing ‘sundan mo ako’.

Tila ba may sariling buhay ang aking mga paa at sinundan ang daan na naiilawan ng mga kandila at napapaligiran ng mga talulot ng bulaklak.

“Geez. Alex,” natatawang sambit ko sa sarili ko.

Madilim pa din ang buong bahay at tanging ilaw na nanggaling sa mga kandila lamang ang nagbibigay liwanag sa daraanan ko. I was about to call Alex nang pumailanlang ang isang musika sa buong bahay.

Nagpatuloy lang ako sa paglalakad at pagsunod sa naliwanagang parte ng bahay namin hanggang sa dalhin ako nito patungo sa taong kanina ko pang hinahanap.

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you

You'd be like heaven to touch

I wanna hold you so much

Ngayon ko lang napansin na nakapagpalit na din pala sya ng suot na damit. He’s wearing a simple white polo and a pair of jeans, ang presko nya tignan. Otomatikong napangiti ako pagkakita pa lamang sa kanya.

Alex started walking towards my direction, and him doing so, made my heart beat erratically. I love how he can make me feel this way towards him and at the same time, scares the hell out of me.

At long last love has arrived

And I thank God I'm alive

You're just too good to be true

Can't take my eyes off of you

He stood in front of me. He let his index finger roam freely from my shoulders down taking my hand towards his lips, planting a kiss like a true gentleman does, smiling as he looked at me directly in the eyes.

“May I?” two words and I immediately said yes.

Pardon the way that I stare

There's nothing else to compare

The sight of you makes me weak

There are no words left to speak

He pulled me close, too close that I could feel his heart beating against the palm of my hand, his breath brushing against my skin, as he wrapped his strong muscular arm around the tiny of my waist. We danced as if it’s just the two of us. We continued swaying to the music when he opened his mouth to sing.

"But if you feel like I feel, please let me know that it's real. you're just too good to be true. Can't take my eyes off you.”

Shocked is an understatement. Tila ba tumigil ang mundo ko sa mga susunod na pangyayari. Literal na nawala ang distansya sa pagitan naming dalawa at kulang na lamang ay lumuwa ang mga mata ko sa pagdidikit ng mga labi namin.

Naramdaman yata ni Alex ang biglang paninigas ng buong katawan ko sa ginawa nya kaya pinutol nya ang paghalik nya sa akin at masuyong tinignan ako sa mga mata.

“Sorry. I can’t help it, but let me do this properly,” aniya. “Chris, may I?” ayoko pero tradyor ang isip at katawan ko, naramdaman ko na lang ang pagtango ko sa tanong nya. He smiled, and once again closed the distance between our lips.

This time, I automatically closed my eyes and savored the moment. Tila ba gustong lumabas ng puso ko sa dibdib ko. When was the last time I felt this? Yung para bang nagpadaan ng milyong boltahe ng kuryente sa bawat himaymay ng pagkatao ko. His kiss tells me that it’s fine, everything will be alright.

I love you baby and if it's quite alright

I need you baby to warm a lonely night

I love you baby trust in me when I say

Oh pretty baby don't bring me down I pray

Oh pretty baby now that I've found you, stay

And let me love you baby, let me love you

Nang muling maghiwaly ang mga labi namin ay para bang naubos ang lahat ng lakas ng aking mga binti, dahilan para mabuwal ako sa kanya.

“Haha. Clumsy, sorry.” palusot ko. Kahit alam ko namang alam nyang sya ang dahilan kung bakit nanlalambot ako ng ganito. Inalalayan niya ako hanggang sa makarating kami sa upuan na sa table naming dalawa.

“Chris, I love you. I really do,” aniya habang nakaluhod sa harap ko. “Will you give me a chance? To prove myself?” tanong nya.

I was rendered speechless. Ni hindi ko alam kung ano ba ang tamang reaksyon sa mga sinasabi nya sa akin ngayon. Ngunit bago pa man ako makapagsalita ay muling bumuka ang bibig nya para ipagpatuloy ang nais sabihin..

“Alam kong kaibigan lang ang turing mo sa akin - mula noon hanggang ngayon, and I don’t care. Hayaan mo lang akong mahalin ka sa paraang alam ko. Alam kong hindi ka pa handang magmahal ulit. Naiintindihan ko, kaya ko naman maghintay. I’ve been waiting for you to turn your head and look at me mula nung umalis ka sa inyo,” anito.

When he heard nothing from me, he held his hand na para bang niyayaya nya akong sumama sa kanya. I didn’t, even for a second, hesitate and took the hand he is offering. Sa may garden, may nakaset na blanket together with the food he prepared, kaya pala walang laman ang table na nakaset sa loob, ay nandito pala. I was in awe.

The garden was adorned with white christmas lights that looked like stars sa madilim na paligid, the scene became more beautiful with the moon shining its brightest. Suddenly I remember, full moon ngayon.

The setting was perfect. Everyone would dream of a picnic date witnessed by both the moon and the stars.

I was so touched by the effort he exerted just so he could make me smile.

“Where did you get the idea?” tanong ko.

“From the experts,” maikling sagot nya. Inalalayan nya akong makaupo sabay abot ng panyolito na iminuwestra nyang ilagay ko sa kandungan ko.

“Experts?” kunot noong tanong ko.

“Hm-mm,” tango nya. “My cousins,” maikling sagot nya.

“I told them that you agreed on going out with me tonight when I asked for recommendations on restaurants I could possibly book for tonight’s date. Sabi nila, sila na lang daw ang gagawa, they asked me to pick up a lot of things at sila ang nagset up nito” aniya.

“So much effort for tonight. Tell me, what else do you have for me?” tanong ko.

He grinned and handed over a bouquet.

“Candy?” tanong ko.

“Sort of. Chocolate. I ordered sa shop nyo under my cousins’ name” aniya.

Gaya ng nakasanayan nya, laging ako ang inuuna nya. Laging ako ang iniisip nya, kahit sa mga simpleng bagay o mga desisyon nya, hindi pwedeng hindi ako kasama. Alex is already perfect para sa akin, why am I stopping myself from completely falling for him? Umaasa pa ba ako na magkakaayos kami ng tatay ng mga anak ko? Am I afraid because of what happened? Ano? Maging ako’y hindi ko na maintindihan ang sarili ko. Gusto kong um-oo kay Alex pero may pumipigil sa akin and I can’t take risk dahil kung paiiralin ko ang sarili kong kasakiman, di lang masasaktan si Alex, paniguradong mawawala din sya sa akin. Hindi ko namalayan na napatagal na pala ang pagkakatitig ko sa kanya.

“Masyado ba akong gwapo para pakatitigan mo?” tanong ko.

I laughed at his joke, kahit ilang beses ko ata marinig ang kayabangan nya, matatawa at matatawa pa din ako. The night went on with his stories and jokes. It’s like we’re catching up, para bang ang tagal naming hindi nagkita.

I was looking at the night sky when he called.

“Love.”

“Hmm?”

“I just want you to know na hindi kita minamadali. Ilang taon na kitang hinihintay, kaya kong maghintay pa ulit,” aniya.

“Hindi ka ba nagkagusto sa iba?” tanong ko sa kanya. Matagal na kami magkakilala pero aminado akong kakaunti lang ang alam ko lalo na sa lovelife nya.

“May ilan namang naging tukso, pero, hinahanap kasi kita sa mga nakikilala ko kaya I always find myself coming back to you” sagot nya.

Lumalalim na ang gabi kaya napagdesisyunan na naming pumasok at magpahinga. I bet the kids are also sleeping dahil anong oras na rin naman. We decided to pick them up tomorrow na lang and let Alex’s parents spend more time with them.

Papasok na ako sa kwarto ko nung marinig kong nagsalita si Alex.

“Chris, about what I said,” he paused. I was waiting for him to continue.

“Seryoso ako dun. I can wait even if it means waiting in vain forever,” aniya.

The next morning, I learned that he got a phone call and that he needs to return to the US as soon as possible. Part of me wanted him to stay, another says it’s best para ma-assess ko maigi ang feelings ko for him.

“Chris, be honest. Ano ba talaga ang problem? Why can’t you return his feelings?” tanong ni Kaia sa akin.

I am with her kasi I need a third party’s opinion. Sobrang dami kong iniisip na alam kong hindi naman dapat and Kaia’s the only one available.

“Are you still in love with the father of your twins?” tanong nito.

Naikwento ko sa kanya ang lahat nang nangyari, pati na din ang pananahimik ko nung humingi ng chance si Alex sa akin.

“Sis, you deserved to be happy. And so does Alex. Hindi naman tamang sobrang higpit mo sa sarili mo. Alam kong nasaktan ka and I know I am not in the right position to say this, but hey, it’s been years,” litanya nito.

Hindi ko na naman alam ang isasagot ko. Kaia’s got a point pero, ewan ko. Ako ata ang may problema. Pabalik na ako ng shop dahil may meeting daw bigla si Kaia. Bukod sa malapit lang ang shop, I need distraction and walking is the best option.

Ilang hakbang na lamang ang layo ko mula sa shop nang may makasalubong akong lalaki. Hindi ko napansin ang itsura niya pero hindi ako maaaring magkamali sa boses nya. Memories started flooding, tila ako nabato nung marinig ko ang boses nya.

"Fine. Pauwi na. Let the kids know that I love them.. Yes. Yes. I love you, too, Misis" anito sa kausap sa kabilang linya.

‘Impossible’ sa isip isip ko.

“Narinig mo na, pre? I have to get going, miss na agad ako ni Misis” natatawang sambit pa nito.

"Agad agad? Iba na talaga ang asensado, ginagawang Cubao at Pasig lang ang paglipad palabas ng Pilipinas.” komento naman ng kasama nito.

“Alam mo naman na buntis si Misis. Hindi pwedeng palayas layas ako.”

Nagkapaalamanan na sila ng kasama nya. Narinig ko ang pagbukas, sara at pag-andar palayo ng sasakyan niya. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero pinagmasdan ko pa ang sasakyan nyang palayo na.

“Chris? Is that you? Christalyn?”

I was dragged back to reality sa pagtawag nung kausap nya.

“Oh, God! It’s really you. Dave was here awhile ago,” anito.

“I know. I have to go though. It’s good to see you again, Hubert,” aniya sabay lakad palayo.

Hubert’s calling her pero mas binilisan pa nya ang paglakad. Her crew saw her pero di nya din pinansin ang pagbati ng mga ito. I closed the door to my office and locked myself in.

Doon ko narealize ang sagot sa mga katanungan ko. Kung bakit hindi ko magawang mahalin ng buo si Alex kahit sya yung kasama ko nang matagal.

‘Umaasa pa kasi ako’.

《DUMMY POST OF THE DAY》

"𝑨𝒓𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒓𝒆𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈?"

Trinity Serene laughed bitterly as the phone she was holding with her right hand slipped from her hold after sending the message to the person who she never contacted for a few years now. There was a painful throb on the part where her heart lies as her throat bobbed painfully for a few times. Her throat was hurting and was keep on constricting that she had to grab it with both her hands with a forceful attempt to swallow the sob she was trying to hide.

It was silent, without the bustling noise Trinity was accustomed to hear, but this silence was deafening- and scary. She can hear the eerie tick tock of the clock, the occassionally dripping water from her kitchen, the engine of her air-conditioning, the soft mewls her cat murmurs on her sleep, the breathe coming from her own self.

The scariest thing was- Trinity Serene can vividly hear the voices that was once only in her mind, right beside her ear.

From forcefully grabbing her throat, her hands immediately flew to cover her ears not minding that her nails are wounding the flesh and skin on her ear part. All she was focusing on is how to help herself stop the voices she was hearing.

She's awake. She's not dreaming. So, how could the voices of those dead people haunt her ears?

Ghosts? They are unscientific. They're just folklores.

But what was it that she was experiencing now?

Her hand became numb and powerless as a cold, and eerie voice penetrated her cover to drill itself inside her mind. She felt the coldness seeping inside her body with her thin lingerie as the voice echoed out her fears.

"𝑮𝒉𝒐𝒔𝒕? 𝑾𝒆'𝒓𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍. 𝒀𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝒊𝒔 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍."

《DUMMY POST OF THE DAY》

𝘼𝙉 𝘼𝙁𝙏𝙀𝙍𝙉𝙊𝙊𝙉 𝘿𝙀𝙇𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏
R-18, GxG



It was a hot afternoon and Xaris sat at home alone, finishing some draft event design as requested by a demanding client. She was skimming through a layer of sketches and mood boards she printed for her portfolio. Albeit just having her coffee fix, the hotness of the afternoon made her really sleepy. After a few minutes of contemplating whether to fight it or not, she finally gave up. She went to her couch and laid there, with no care in the world that she's wearing an oversized shirt 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮.

A few minutes after she has closed her eyes, thought she doesn't know how long, there was a loud thud at the door. Her eyes quickly opened, and she propped up her couch which caused her to feel a bit dizzy. The rapping at the door continued to her annoyance.

"𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙩?"

𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘬. 𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘬. 𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘬.

"𝙐𝙜𝙝!"

Completely forgetting about her appearance, she walked towards the door and opened it which stopped the person knocking halfway through his— her— knocking.

Dallas stood outside, an arm raised with her knuckle facing the door. Xaris was obviously surprised by the visit as given away by her widened eye and partly opened mouth.

"𝘿𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙨.."

"𝙓𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙨.." she sounded soft, like stating an apology. For their ruined date? Maybe.

"Why are you here?" she asked, coldly. Yet her body automatically opened the door to reveal more of her body to her visitor.

"𝙄.. 𝙪𝙝.." she paused. D's eyes roamed up and down her physique which sent jolts of electricity from her spine down to her core.. and even lower. She was unaware her hair was disheveled from the nap and that she was wearing a white oversized shirt only. And by the way she stood by her door, with her shirt raised a little from one hip being angled, it revealed a little more of her slim legs.

"𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙞𝙩, 𝘿?" she asked, unknowing. Dallas looked up at her with passion burning in her eyes. Her blue eyes seemed to darken and it seemed to appear bigger and closer by the minute— Dallas closed in the distance. Their faces only an inch away from each other. And by some quick work, she had managed to let herself in to her home and close the door behind her. And she, Xaris, stood there like flame wanting the attention of the moth. A perfectly tempting beautiful moth.

"𝙄 𝙘𝙖𝙢𝙚 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙩𝙖𝙡𝙠 𝙩𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙄 𝙙𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩'𝙨 𝙜𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙤 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙣𝙤𝙬," she whispered. Her voice deep and thick with growing heat. She looked up at her, and green eyes met blue, which faded instantly as the darkness suddenly covered her view.

Then a pair of soft feminine lips locked against hers which started moving slow, like with hesitation mixed with pure determination. Xaris kept her eyes closed, still unable to believe Dallas is finally kissing her. And fu***ng hell, it felt good. So damn good she moaned against her mouth. Her moan could have encouraged Dallas more, she felt her warm hands lifting the hem of her shirt and touching her thighs up to her abdomen and even higher to cup her breasts, sending heat all over making her ni***es instantly hard at her touch. 𝘍𝘶𝘤𝘬!

Her knees have buckled from the sensation. Xaris automatically wrapped her arms around her neck for support because if not, she would have lost balance.

"𝙐𝙝𝙝.. 𝘿𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙨," she called her name, sounding like a desparate plea.

"𝘿𝙤 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙚?"

X's mind went into panic, not wanting the moment to end. Not yet. She nodded shyly, but confidently pulling Dallas into another lip lock to not spoil the moment.

She felt movement until she felt the couch from behind her legs. Then there were fingers gently playing with her nips, and another set of fingers grazing her inner thigh which she could feel wetness already flowing— all these while Dallas' tongue expertly swirled against hers making her moan softly.

"𝙎𝙤 𝙬𝙚𝙩 𝙖𝙡𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙𝙮, 𝙓?" she teased, then slowly guided her to lay back on the couch as she takes her place above her legs. "𝙊𝙥𝙚𝙣 𝙪𝙥 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙚."

Dallas commanded and she followed, placing a leg by the back rest of the couch. She kissed her inner thighs slowly, moving her way up to her glistening core. D looked up at her with a satisfied grin while her fingers worked their way into the apex of her thigh. Not long after, her fingers found her p***y, moist from her kisses and touches alone.

X closed her eyes tightly as two fingers slid into her slowly, then pulled out. "𝙊𝙝!" And then Dallas did it again and again, slowly gaining momentum. She held X's leg to keep it open as her fingers expertly plunged in then out then in again. She jolted each time she hits her spot. "𝙊𝙝, 𝙜𝙤𝙙!"

"𝙍𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚?"

Her breathing became rapid when her thumb started to rub against her swelling c**t. She groaned against her touch, and her lower body started to jerk in response to her finger, wanting more.

"𝘿𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙨.. 𝙄.. 𝙊𝙝! 𝙂𝙤𝙙, 𝙮𝙚𝙨!"

Dallas knew she was close, knowing she has the experience between them two. In response to her call, Dallas kissed her inner thigh again and moved her fingers faster and faster and fast—

"𝘾𝙪𝙢 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙚, 𝙓𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙨."

She need not to say it because she knew she was close. So. Fu***ng. Close. At another graze of D's thumb by her c**t as she pushed her fingers inside her, Xaris screamed her name in heated bliss.

"𝘿𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙨!" she jolted upright, to find her apartment empty. Her things unmoved from where they were at her working table before she dozed off.

She inspected her lower half to find herself wet from her dream. A steamy hot dream for a hot afternoon. 𝘿𝙖𝙢𝙣!

𝘿𝙐𝙈𝙈𝙔𝙏𝘼𝙍𝙄𝘼𝙉𝙄𝙎𝙈: 𝙃𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙇𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏 𝙊𝙁 𝙏𝙃𝙀 𝙒𝙀𝙀𝙆

If there is anything 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙩𝙖𝙣𝙩 other than 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚, it would be 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚.

The world will evolve, innovate and the present will become past but the word love will stay and remain the way it is. Complicated yet magical. Sometimes wicked but most of the time it is beautiful with glitter and sparkles.

And as definite as it sounds love sees no beauty, no age, no status, no gender and most importantly no world.

Last Saturday afternoon, Dustin Alec shakes the Dummy World with his surprise proposal to his fiancè Arsenic. With the participation of his family and friends he made a last minute proposal preparation possible. Pulling the biggest surprise of the year and may I add the most elegant proposal so far. But it's not about how elegant or how simple the proposal is, it's the efforts and the genuine intention that matters. Something that is rare and some of us can only ask for. The kind of love that we don't witness everyday in this world of doubt, trust issues and fake faces.

We interviewed the couple and ask them few questions about their relationship as a couple and the recent proposal. Please see the question and answers as transcribed below:

What is your first impression about him?

A strange man. Haha A strange padre.

As I said to my letter, akala ko talaga seryoso at pa-cool sya. Masyado pa syang Englishero non. Kaya hindi ko sya masyadong pinapansin.

What did you love about him?

I love all of him.

I love how he can pacify me. Sa amin dalawa kasi I think ako yung mas aggressive. Mas mabilis akong mainis. Also, spoiled din ako sa kaniya. Lol. And of course, his smile. I'm in love with his smile. It gets me every time.

Would you ever change anything about him?

Nothing. I would never change anything about him but I would like to do something. I hope I can do something when he's feeling down (there's nothing wrong with it, karapatan nyang maramdaman ang kung anuman ang gusto niyang maramdaman).

Nope. I love everything about him. He's my happy pill.

When was the last time you get jealous?

Not really jealous but more on tampo. Last week? Or was it last last week?

I think, last month? Bago pa kami non. I was bored so I stalked his profile.Natawa ako nung gumanti sya. *ROFL*

Follow up question for Arsenic.

Why did you say yes to his proposal?

Because I love him.

Your message for Dustin?

I may not have an inch of sweet bone in my body, but this man loves you with all his bones, heart, balunbalunan, atay and all. 😉 Let's create our own little forever and make the most of it.

Follow up question for Dustin.

When you proposed to him, are you confident that he's going to say Yes?

Actually, I'm hella nervous. Parang yung moment na naghihintay ako ng sagot nya, parang doon ko lang biglang tinanong sarili ko na kung paano pag na NO sya? Anong gagawin ko? I guess, hindi mo maiaalis yun ganoong feeling pag nagpo-propose ka. You'll start to doubt yourself. Pero nung nag-yes sya, nawala lahat. All that's left is pure happiness.

Can you see your dummyself with Arsenic five years from now?

Yes.

Any message to a five years older Arsenic?

To the future docsie ,I hope we're still happy together by this time. Alam ko naman na may mababago at mababago through time. Sana lang hindi kasama dun yung smile mo, yung pagiging simpleng tao mo at pagiging mabait mo. I really love that about you. You're Dustin's safe haven. My sanctuary in this chaotic world (Dummy world). I love you.

Congratulations to the both of you. May the romance last forever and be enough to conquer the challenges ahead of you.

MAYBE THIS TIME
©️synbelle



Ilang araw na din ang nakalipas matapos namin ipagdiwang ang kaarawan ng kambal na dinaluhan ng mga kapatid ko. Lahat sila ay nakabalik na ng Roxas pero mukhang si Kuya Rois ay maglalagi dito sa Manila dahil na rin sa trabaho niya. Kahit paano, nabawasan ang alalahanin ko sa naging pag-uusap naming magkakapatid.

“Hey, Bi***es! How’s everyone?” bungad na pangungumusta ni Kaia. Kaia is part of my small circle of friends at kakauwi lang nya nung makalawa galing ng Estados Unidos. She invited us over for lunch, catching up, at bonding. Matagal-tagal na din kasi mula nung huli kaming nagkita-kita.

“Same old. Medyo busy lang these days because Daddy’s training me to be the next CEO,” nakapangalumbabang sagot ni Rie.

“If you haven’t heard anything new from me, that means I’m still doing the same” si Ice, ang pinakabata sa amin.

I took a sip from my cup tsaka ko lang napansin na “all eyes are on me” pala.

“You look happy, Girl. Anong nangyari? Ikakasal na ba kayo finally ni Alex?” eksayted na tanong ni Kaia.

“Haha. Hindi, ‘no,” natatawang sagot ko. “Masaya lang ako kasi after several years, nagkausap na kami ng mga kapatid ko and I was able to tell them why I left. Para akong nabunutan ng tinik. For the first time after ko maglayas, I can finally say na sobrang masaya ako,” patuloy ko.

“I am so happy for you, Girl friend,” masayang saad ni Kaia. “Pero that’s not what we’re curious about. Kayo ni Alex? Any progress?” tanong nito.

Mas pinili kong manahimik at ngumit ng makahulugan sa kanila. Wala akong kimumpirma, wala din akong itinanggi. Kung anuman ang mayroon sa amin ni Alex, mas mabuting, kaming dalawa na lamang ang makaalam nun. Hindi na dapat ipagkangalandakan. Minsan, mas magulo pag madaming nakakaalam, eh.

We’re in the middle of our ‘catching up’ session nang magring ang phone ko.

Alex calling…

“Hey,” bati ko sa kanya.

[Love, galing ako sa shop kaso lumabas ka daw. Where are you right now?]

“I’m with the girls, ‘Lex. Lunch date and catching up. Do you need something?”

[You.]

Nang hindi ako sumagot sa sinabi ni Alex ay bigla namang hinablot ng mga kaibigan kong mahadera ang cellphone ko sabay pindot ng speaker phone.

"What? Anong sabi mo, ‘Lex?"

[I said, I need YOU]

Halos mabingi ako sa pagkatinis na tili ni Rie at Kaia, habang si Ice ay walang reaksyon sa narinig. Pinagpatuloy naman nila Kaia ang pakikipagkumustahan kay Alex kasabay ang pangangantyaw tungkol sa kasal. Alex, being Alex, said he wanted to do things one step at a time. Ligaw muna bago kasal. At dahil mukhang nag-eenjoy na sila sa paggamit ng cellphone ko, kaya sumabat na ako para sawayin sila.

“Masyado na kayong nag-eenjoy sa paggamit ng cellphone ko, guys. Kunin ko na ulit. Bye, Alex” hablot ko sabay paalam.

Pagtapos ng call ay balik na naman sila sa hobby nila, ang pagchismis sa love life ko.

“Alam mo, Girl, sobrang swerte mo na kay Alex. Bakit kasi di mo bigyan ng chance?” tanong ni Kaia.

Grabe ang pagbibuild up nila kay Alex sa akin na akala mo, eh, hindi ko alam. Hello? Ilang taon ko nang kilala si Alex. Kaya naman aware ako sa lahat ng sinasabi nila.

“Alex and I, we’ve been friends ever since. Alam n’ya lahat ng pinagdaanan ko. S’ya halos ang naging katuwang ko sa lahat. Kaya lang, hindi ko naman kaya turuan ang puso ko na basta na lang magmahal ulit,” sagot ko.

“Lies.”

Lahat kami ay napatingin sa pinanggalingan nun, si Ice.

“Don’t make us a fool, Chris. Five years. Imposibleng walang nagbago sa inyo ni Alex. Takot ka lang kamo magmahal kasi baka maulit yung nangyari before,” and that hit me spot on.

“Tama si Ice. Kung sakaling walang pag-asa kasi si Alex sa’yo. Noon pa lang ituturn down mo na sya. Kaso, hindi,” si Kaia.

“Alam naming takot ka, pero, isn’t he worth taking another risk?” tanong ni Rie.

Hindi ako nakasagot. Parang nagflashback sa akin lahat ng pinagdaanan namin ni Alex. Tama sila, takot ako. Nagpatuloy pa ang aming kwentuhan hanggang sa kinailangan na naming magpaalam sa isa’t isa.

Hanggang sa makabalik ako sa shop ay binabagabag ako ng mga sinabi nila.

Tulala lang akong nakaupo sa harap ng computer ko nang biglang may dumapi sa aking mga pisngi. Sa gulat ko ay ‘matikong lumipad ang kamay ko para sana sampalin ang kung sinong lapastangang humalik sa akin.

“Alex?” gulat na tanong ko.

“Ang lalim ata ng iniisip mo? Kung hindi ako maagap ay malamang na naglatay na ang kamay mo sa pisngi ko,” anito.

“Wala naman. Mga bagay bagay lang,” sagot ko. Bumaling ako sa kanya sabay tanong kung bakit ang aga nyang nagpunta? Wala pa namang alas-singko, hindi pa oras ng pagsundo namin.

“Kulang ang araw ko ‘pag ‘di kita nakikita, eh,” nakangiting sagot nito. “Can you be my date tonight?” tanong nito.

“Smooth~” sagot ko naman na napangiti din sa sinabi nya. “But the --”

“If you’re worried about the twins, okay na. Got it covered. My Parents will be with them tonight,” sagot nito.

Napansin ata niya ang pagdadalawang-isip ko.

“P..pero kung pagod ka, we can --”

“No. Okay lang. Iniisip ko lang kung may iba pang dapat alalahanin, but since darating naman sina Tita. I guess we can take a break, the two of us,” nakangiti kong sabi sa kanya.

Tila isang batang binigyan ng kendi si Alex at masayang nagpaalam na babalik na lang sya para masamahan nya ako sa pagsundo sa kambal. Aalis muna daw sya para paghandaan ang date namin. Naiiling na lang ako habang pinagmamasdan ko syang palayo.

Muli kong binalik ang atensyon ko sa trabaho nang marinig ko ang marahang pagkatok ni Ashley.

“Ano yun, Ash?” tanong ko.

"Boss, may naghahanap po sa inyo sa labas, magpapa customize daw ng cake."

"Ah, sige. Padiretsuhin mo na lang sya dito. Kumain ka na din muna hangga’t di karamihan ang tao." utos ko sa kanya.

“Sige, Boss. Thank you po,” anito.

Paglabas ni Ash ay isang babae naman na kuntodo postura ang pumasok sa opisina ko. Sa malayo ay mukhang natural pero nung nagtanggal sya nang salamin ay tsaka mo makikitang may hindi tama sa kalagayan nya.

Heterochromia at Albinism

"I’m Cloud Yamazaki. I want to get your services for customized cakes,” anitong inilahad ang kamay.

“Christalyn Suarez,” maikling sagot ko sabay abot sa kamay nya. Matapos makipagkamay ay minuwestra ko ang upuan para makaupo sya.

Hindi na sya nagpaliguy-ligoy pa. Agad nyang ipinakita ang gusto nyang maging kalabasan ng cake na ipapagawa nya. It was an Airbus A321 neo aircraft na para pala sa gaganaping anibersaryo ng kumpanya nila.

“The cake should be 3 feet in height and 8 feet in width,” anito. Inisa-isa pa niya lahat ng gusto nya hanggang sa sabihin nyang gaganapin ang anibersaryo nila limang araw mula ngayon.

"Kaya nyo ba? If not, let me know para makahanap agad ako ng ibang pwedeng magcater para sa amin.”

Nag-aalangan ako na baka hindi namin kayanin pero kung sakaling magawa naman ay malaking oportunidad ito para makilala pa kami lalo. Wala din namang masyadong customer ngayon dahil karamihan ay nasa bakasyon.

“Paki-fill-up na lang po ito. 50% down payment tayo, Ms Yamazaki. We’ll be collecting the remaining kapag nadala na namin sa event yung mismong cake,” sagot ko.

Dumukot sya ng isang tseke at isinulat doon ang kalahati ng presyong aming napagkasunduan. Pagkaalis na pagkaalis ng kliyente namin ay dumiretso agad ako sa kusina para mabigyan ng instructions ang mga tauhan ko. Mabuti na din talaga at madami kami ngayon kaya nagawa na nilang hatiin ang mga gawain.

“Busy?” tanong ni Alex pagkapasok ko sa sasakyan nya.

“Fortunately, yes. Buti na lang madami akong boys,” sagot ko habang inaayos ang seatbelt ko.

"Excuse me?"

Then I realized what I just said. Napahagikhik naman ako dahil mukhang hindi sya natuwa sa sinabi ko. Kinuwento ko sa kanya ang tungkol sa kliyente namin kanina. Nakakainis lang na, kahit ata anong pag-usapan namin, hindi pwedeng hindi nya isisingit ang sarili nya .

“Alex, yung totoo. Umamin ka, swimming pool ba ang buhat mo nung nagpaulan ang Panginoon ng kayabangan?” naka-arko ang isang kilay na tanong ko sa kanya.

“Hindi naman ako mayabang. Sadyang totoo lang ang mga sinasabi ko at mataas ang self-confidence ko kaya tingin nyo ay mayabang ako,” nakangusong depensa nito sa sarili.

Ilang saglit pa ay nakarating na kami sa school nung kambal. Ininform kami ng teacher nila na nasa playground sila nung hindi namin makita sa loob ng classroom. Agad kaming nagtungo sa sinabi ng teacher nila. I saw my twins playing at napabuntong hininga na lang ako.

“Ang bilis nang panahon. Parang kailan lang, pinahihirapan pa nila ako sa morning sickness ko. Ngayon, naglalaro na silang dalawa,” saad ko.

“Kero asked me how a baby is being made. Si Ayin naman, nagtanong din sa akin kung may alam ba ako sa totoong daddy nila.”

Nasa edad na si Ayin at Kero kung saan curious na sila sa mga bagay bagay. Matanong. Lahat gusto malaman. Hindi ko pa din alam kung dapat ba nila malaman ang totoo. Kung ano ang mararamdaman nila kapag nalaman nila na ayaw sa kanila ng Tatay nila. Hanggang sa makarating kami sa bahay ay tahimik lang ako.

“Don’t worry about it, Love” sabi ni Alex kasabay ang marahang pagpisil sa kamay ko. Silently telling me that everything’s gonna be okay.

We dropped the kids off tsaka kami dumiretso sa date namin.

“Anuman ang mangyari, I’ll be with you guys all the way,” he said.

I just wished that whatever happens, malaman man o hindi ng mga bata ay matanggap nila ang ama nilang tunay sakaling magkrus ang landas nila isang araw.
