Afam Temptation

third attempt failed

Third person pov

Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Feriona sa kanyang nakita. Biglang bumundol ang matinding kaba sa kanyang dibdib. How it is possible?”she murmured.

“Fargo halika dito dali! Bilisan mo Fargo. Hihiwalayan na talaga kitang kabayo ka,”malakas na sigaw ni Feriona sa kanyang nobyo.

Hindi naman kaagad maiwanan ni Cedric ang kanyang niluluto na pasta dahil baka masunog pa ito. Kalaunan ay pinatay nalang niya ang kalan para puntahan si Yona sa living room.

Sa kabilang linya naman ay naging malabo ang signal dahil biglang bumuhos ang ulan. May kasama pa itong malakas na kulog at kidlat. Bago mawala ang kuryente binilisan na nilang kumain. Mabuti nalang at hindi matakotin si Luna sa kulog at kidlat. Sobrang proud sina Froilan at Yette dahil nakitaan nila ng buong katapangan ang bata.

“Baby Luna, don't you feel fear about the heavy rain, thunder and lightning?”Froilan asked.

“Nope daddy, because we cannot stop natural disasters but we can arm ourselves with knowledge, so many lives wouldn't have to be lost if there was enough disaster preparedness. We have to pray and trust papa God to keep us safely. We have to learn from every natural disaster. Whether it's a fire or a flood, we learn something from it so we can respond to the next one better.

And you know what daddy, the world will continue to be hit by natural disasters and hateful mass killings, but communities bounce back stronger, so keep going.

Just like you dad, your job is so hard because you are fighting in a war. Your life is always at stake but you never give up because you know that there are many people who need your help. You were strong enough to protect our country.”Luna said.

“Oh my goodness ang taba ng utak ng anak ko. Kanino ka ba nagmana ening? Isang malaking palaisipan ang sumalakay sa aking utak,”sabat ni Yette sa usapan ng mag-ama.

“You are a masterpiece, sculpted with love, patience, and endless pride. Your uniqueness is your strength, and we admire the individuality that makes you, you. Embrace your true self, for you are extraordinary.

A daughter like you is a treasure beyond measure. With each passing day, our love for you grows stronger. You've filled our lives with meaning and purpose, and we are forever grateful.

As you step into the world princess, remember that you carry the legacy of our love and support. No matter where life takes you, our arms are always open, ready to embrace you, our dear daughter.

We know that this journey of parenthood is illuminated by the love we have for you. You've taught us patience, understanding, and unconditional love. We are immensely proud of the person you are and excited for the incredible future that awaits you. Always remember that mommy and daddy love you so much.”mahabang litanya ni Froilan.

The greatest gifts you can give your children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.

Well, everybody must learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear. Courage does not always roar, sometimes it's the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, I will try again. tomorrow.

Once social change begins, it cannot be reversed. You cannot un-educate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people who are not afraid anymore.

“Hindi ako natatakot sa malakas na ulan, kulog, at kidlat. Mas kinatatakotan ko pa iyang mga spokening dollars ninyo. Juskopo Marimar bigla ako nabingi sa mga pinagsasabi ninyo,”pabitong sabi ni Yette.

Nauna nang umakyat si Yette sa silid nila ni Luna para ayusin ang higaan. Nagsipilyo at nagpalit na rin siya ng kanyang damit pantulog. Maayos naman ang higaan na tutulogan ni Froilan kaya wala ng problema.

“Baby, brush your teeth and wear your pajama,”Yette said.

“Noted mommy!”

Nahiga na si Yette sa kama at nag scroll ng kanyang cellphone. Nawala na talaga ang signal nito kasabay ng pagkawala ng kuryente.

“Baby, dasal ka muna bago pikit ng mata mo ha!”paalala ni Yette sa bata.

“Noted mommy!”she answered.

“Dear God, we thank you tonight for the good day and for the special way you take care of us all the time. Thank you for the fun times outside and the quiet times inside, and for helping us learn new things every day.

Thank you for creating us special, exactly the way you wanted. Thank you for protecting us throughout the day. Forgive us for the wrong things we do. Thank you for loving us even when we disobey or try to do things our way. Help us to always choose your way, God, because it’s always best. We pray for all the people who don’t know you, and that they will come to understand Your love for them, too.

Bless our family and thank you for good times together and apart. Bless our friends and those we love, including our grandparents, our aunts and uncles and cousins. Thank you for our home and a place to sleep and good food to eat. Help us rest well, give us peaceful dreams, and send your angels around our home to protect us throughout the night. Teach us to trust you and to love you more and more. you are good; you are great; and you are faithful, God. And we love you. Good night. In Jesus precious name, Amen.”mahabang dasal ni Luna.

Si Froilan naman ay nakasuot ng boxer short at pinatungan ng puting roba. Siya'y nakatayo sa hamba ng pintuan habang nakatingin sa bata na nagdadasal at ang nobyang nakaupo na sinabayan sa pagdasal ng bata. His dream family, ang pamilyang matagal na niyang pinangarap na makamtan.

“Hey daddy c'mon let's sleep together,”pag-aya ni Luna sa ama. Agad namang sumampa sa ibabaw ng kama si Froilan. Si Yette naman ay parang lamok na bumubulong-bulong. Nainis siya sa pag grab the opportunity ni Afam.

“Yeheyyy thank you baby, you are such a kind heart baby girl. Good Night! Froilan said.

Hinalikan ni Froilan si Yette sa noo at pagkatapos ay si Luna naman saka humiga.

Gusto sana niyang makatabi ang nobya sa pagtulog. Kaya lang nakakahiya sa bata, sigurado kasing maiintindihan nito ang kanyang mga kilos.

“Ang hirap naman nito, kung kailan may kalamidad saka pa mawawalan ng kuryente at network.”sabi ni Froilan . Paniguradong mag-alala na ang kanyang kapatid na si Feriona. Dahil sa biglaang pagkaputol ng tawag at hindi na ito nakaka-reconnect pa ulit.

Agad namang nakatulog ang bata kaya dahan-dahan na bumangon at bumaba si Froilan sa kama at pumunta sa side ni Yette.

“Sweetheart, sa kabilang room muna tayo.”bulong ni Froilan sa tainga ni Yette. Hindi pa nakasagot si Yette binuhat na niya ito.

“An--shhh keep quiet, she's sleeping.”putol ni Froilan sa nais sabihin ni Yette.

Nang maibaba ni Froilan Si Yette sa kama agad niya itong sinibasib ng halik. A breathless kisses that increases the heat of their body. True intimacy comes from vulnerability, and vulnerability comes from authenticity. It is the candle that lights up the darkest nights.

“Your hands around my waist, dancing together close to each other’s chest. Heavy rains, thunder, and lightning might be our romantic background tonight baby and our feelings are authentic. You’re always the first and the last thing on this heart of mine. No matter where I go, or what I do, I’m thinking of you.”froilan lovingly said.

“Idiot, hindi ko alam kung saan ako pweding magfocus. Sa sarap na pinalasap mo ba o sa lalim ng mga english mo Afam ka.”seryosong sabi ni Yette.

Natawa naman si Froilan sa sinabi ni Yette. This lady didn't miss to spoil him.

“Wawasakin mo na ba ang kiffy ko tonight? Hindi pa ako handa eh baka pwedi na ipagpaliban muna natin ngayon. Malakas kasi ang ulan eh, at tsaka nakakatakot yong kulog. Tapos iyong kidlat grabeh napakaliwanag oh. Paano nalang kapag hubo't hubad na tayo tapos bigla tayong salakayin ng kidlat. Paano kung matamaan tayo ng kidlat habang nasa eyutan. Hala ayoko nun Afam, ayokong mamatay na hubo't hubad. Trending na nga yong nag-lock dahil hindi nabunot. At ang masaklap si pagong ang pinagbintangan. Ang hirap naman ng kalalabasan natin Afam kapag namatay tayo sa ganun ding posisyon tapos kidlat ang salarin.”seryosong Sabi ni Yette.

Si Froilan naman ay halos hindi na makahinga sa pagtawa. Ang kanyang alaga na kanina pa tigas na tigas ay biglang lumambot. Malakas na halakhak ni Froilan na sumasabay sa ulan, kulog at kidlat.

“Mommy, daddy what happened?”curious na tanong ni Luna. Na malamang nagising sa malakas na halakhak ni Froilan.

“Grabeh yong tawa mo nagising tuloy si Luna. Ito na nga sinasabi ko eh, buti nalang at hindi pa tayo hubo't hubad.”sabi ni Yette.

“Why are you here in the other room?”luna asked.

“Ayan na sagutin mo ang katanungan ng bata. Kasalanan mo yan kung bakit siya nagising.”sabi ni Yette sabay baba ng kama at bumalik sa room nila ni Luna.

“Nothing baby, I just laughed at your mom's joke. We just checked if all the doors were closed. C'mon baby girl let's go back to sleep.”sabi ni Froilan.

Napapailing nalang Si Froilan dahil napurnada na naman ang plano niyang makipag- love making sa kanyang nobya. For the third attempt, he failed.
