THE RETURN OF ALESSANDRA

chapter 10: My sweet Mrs. knight

Kinabukasan, Knight Private Island. Gumaling na sugat ni Tyron - mabilis magpagaling pag mafia boss.

Nasa beach sila. Sunset.

Si Alessandra naka-white bikini na may cover up. Si Tyron naka-black shorts lang, kita abs at yung bandage sa balikat.

"Mr. Knight, bawal ka pa maligo, may sugat ka!" sabi ni Alessandra.

"Then come here and distract me, Mrs. Knight," ngisi ni Tyron at hinila si Alessandra sa kandungan niya sa beach chair.

"Tyron! Nasa labas tayo!"

"No one can see us. My island, my rules. And my rule is... you stay here."

Niyakap ni Tyron si Alessandra mula sa likod. Hinahalikan leeg niya.

"Aless, alam mo ba?" bulong ni Tyron. "First time kita nakita sa Peninsula, sabi ko... she will be my wife. Kahit ayaw mo."

"Mayabang ka talaga, Mr. Knight," natatawa si Alessandra pero kinikilig.

"Mayabang na in love sayo," bulong ni Tyron at hinarap siya. "Look at me."

Tinitigan ni Tyron mata ni Alessandra.

"Thank you for taking care of me kagabi, Mrs. Knight. No one ever did that for me before."

"Syempre, asawa kita eh," sabi ni Alessandra at hinawakan pisngi niya. "I will always take care of you, Mr. Knight. Kahit mafia ka pa."

"Good," sabi ni Tyron at hinalikan siya. Mabagal sa una, pero naging mapusok.

"Ahh... Tyron..." napasinghap si Alessandra.

"Shhh... say my name like that again, love," bulong ni Tyron, paos.

"Tyron... Mr. Knight..."

"Again."

"Tyron Knight... I love you..."

Natigilan si Tyron. First time sinabi ni Alessandra yun.

"What did you say?"

Namula si Alessandra. "I... I love you, Mr. Knight. Mahal na kita."

Nagyakap si Tyron ng mahigpit na mahigpit. Parang ayaw pakawalan.

"I love you too, Mrs. Knight. So much it hurts. So much I'm scared."

At binuhat siya ni Tyron papunta sa villa, habang lumulubog ang araw.

Tonight, no guns. No war. Just Mr. and Mrs. Knight, in love.
