Melody of Broken Strings (Completed)

Chapter 17

Yssa's POV

Matapos ang ilang araw, na-aprubahan na rin ang TRO ko laban kay Jaxon. Hindi siya maaaring lumapit sa akin, o lumagpas sa limampung metro mula sa kinatatayuan ko. Doon pa rin ako nakikituloy kay Jordan at masasabi kong "it's a whole new experience."

Sa umaga, pagkagising ko ay nakahanda na ang almusal namin. Wala na akong ibang gagawin kundi ang maligo at magprepare ng sarili ko para pumasok. Sabay din kaming umaalis kasi dinadaan niya ako sa office namin bago siya dumiretso sa paaralan nila.

Napakaswerte ko para ma-experience ang ganitong klase ng treatment. Sobrang swerte talaga ng babaeng mapapangasawa niya and for a moment, I wished it would be me.

Hindi pa namin napag-uusapan kung ano ba kami. Siguro, katulad ko ay takot din siyang malaman ang sagot. Gusto ko na lang i-enjoy kung ano mang relationship ang meron kami.

Hapon na noon at nasa labas ako ng building namin para hintayin si Jordan. Sweldo ko ngayon at ganoon din siya kaya may-usapan kami na kumain sa labas.

Habang naghihintay ay napaisip ako. Ano kayang nangyari sa akin kung hindi ko siya nakilala? Baka hanggang ngayon, nagmumukmok pa rin ako.

Hindi naging madali, but with his constant advice, I learned to accept everything that happened. Maybe it was God's way of testing me. God gives us problems so we could learn and be strong. Or maybe it was his way of redirecting me.

I can now look back without feeling so much remorse and pain. Because I believe now that there is always a reason behind everything. Hindi mo kailangang alamin o intindihin, ang kailangan mo lang ay maniwala.

Napangiti ako ng tumigil sa harap ko ang pamilyar na sasakyan ni Jordan. Agad siyang bumaba at inalalayan ako papasok sa shotgun seat. I blushed while he was holding my hand. He's indeed a gentleman.

Nagdrive kami papunta sa mall. Mamimili muna kami ng groceries at iba pang stocks sa bahay. Napagkasunduan namin na hati kami sa lahat ng gastos. Kumuha kami ng karne, gulay at pati na rin ng mga prutas. Syempre, hindi mawawala ang mga chips, soft drinks at maging ang beer. Pumila na kami para magbayad.

Habang pumipila ay napansin kong marami ang lumilingon sa amin. I was wearing my usual office attire. A cream colored pencil cut skirt, mustard yellow short-sleeved blouse and blazer. Tinanggal ko na lang muna ang blazer ko noong nag-grocery kami. Jordan, on the other hand, was still wearing his uniform, minus the ID. I don't exactly know what they're thinking, but knowing how judgmental some people are, I wouldn't be surprised if they think I'm a sugar mommy. Napailing na lang ako sa naisip ko.

Hindi ko na lang din pinansin ang tingin na ipinupukol nila sa amin. Para kaming celebrity na pinagtitinginan. May nakita pa nga akong kumuha ng picture ni Jordan ng pasikreto. Well, I couldn't blame those girls. He looks devilishly handsome in his school uniform, brushed-up hair and perfect face. Kahit sino ay mapapalingon sa maamo niyang mukha.

"Mukhang marami kang fans dito sa grocery ah." I teased him.

Nilingon naman niya ang mga babae sa likod na agad tumili.

"Tsk. Too bad, my eyes are only set for one specific person." He was looking straight into my eyes while saying that.

And just like that, my heart started racing. He never failed to make my heart flutter with his every words.

"Ehem, Ma'am kayo na po."

Napabaling ako sa cashier at agad na humingi ng paumanhin sa pagiging lutang. Ay, nakakahiya ka girl!

Tinutulungan ako ni Jordan sa paglalagay ng pinamili namin pero yumuyugyog ang balikat niya at halatang tumatawa. Sinamaan ko lang siya ng tingin. Nag hands-up naman siya na para bang sinasabi niyang "suko na siya".

Si Jordan na ang nagdala ng pinamili namin. At dahil payday naming pareho, syempre, we treated ourselves to a dinner. Pumasok kami sa isang Filipino Restaurant na nandito sa mall. Nakaka-amaze lang, para kang bumalik sa sinaunang panahon. Ang mga babae ay nakasuot ng baro't saya habang ang mga lalaki naman ay naka-barong tagalog.

Maging ang pagsasalita nila ay masyadong malalim.

Umorder kami ni Jordan ng native chicken adobo at beef caldereta. Napapangiti ako sa ganda vibes dito sa restaurant na to. Parang na-emphasize ang pagiging Filipino natin.

Mas lalo akong nagulat nang iserve nila ang order namin. Ang kanin ay nakalagay sa dahon ng saging. Humalo ang mabangong amoy nito sa kanin na siyang lalong nagpasarap. Sulit na sulit ang bayad dahil masarap ang pagkain at napakawarm ng atmosphere.

Nang matapos kami ni Jordan ay dumiretso na rin kami sa bahay. Hindi na kami nanood ng sine para makatipid. Total naman, day off niya ngayon, nagdecide na lang kami na magbonding sa bahay.

Pagdating namin ay agad kong inayos ang pinamili namin sa fridge. Kumuha ako ng bucket at ice para palamigin ang canned beer namin habang si Jordan naman ay namimili ng panonoorin namin.

Nagluto din ako ng magiging pulutan namin. Nagprito ako ng baboy para gawing sisig. Pagkatapos kong prituhin ay agad ko itong hiniwa sa maliliit na piraso at muling iginisa. Nang maluto na ito, agad ko itong inilipat sa isang platter at nilagay sa center table katabi ng beer.

Naligo muna ako, at ganoon din si Jordan. Nagbihis lang ako ng shorts at loose T-Shirt. Mas komportable kasi ako sa ganoon, lalo na't nasa bahay lang din naman kami. I blow-dried my hair and gathered it into a bun. Bumaba na rin ako at naupo said tabi ni Jordan.

Sa harapan namin ay may nakabukas ng dalawang canned beer. Kinuha ko ang isa at marahan iyong tinungga. Napapikit pa ako sa sama ng lasa nito.

Ibinaling ko ang paningin ko sa TV. It was an old but classic movie that made me cry no matter how many times I saw it. I tried focusing on the movie until I felt my tears falling.

Jordan gathered me into a tight hug. He was topless and wearing nothing but boxer shorts. His warmth immediately radiated through me. I was crying like a baby while he just let out soft chuckles. Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin.

"What?"

"Ilang beses mo na bang napanood yan?"

"About ten times or more? I don't know, been watching this since I was a teen."

And now, he's laughing so hard.

"And yet, you still cry? Hahahaha."

"Eh bakit ba? Eh sa nakakaiyak yung kinakasal sina Jamie at Landon eh. Tapos namatay pa si Jamie." Pagmamaktol ko sa kanya. Nakakiyak naman talaga. Kainis!

I stood up and left him there but he grabbed my hand and pulled me. Sa pagkabigla ko ay napaupo ako sa mga hita niya. Holy s**t!

Agad akong namula nang marealize ko kung gaano kami ka lapit sa isa't-isa at kung gaano ka intimate itong posisyon namin.

"Huwag ka nang magtampo. Oo na, nakakaiyak. Naiiyak nga ako oh!"

Sabay turo sa mga mata niyang wala namang bakas ng luha. Hinayaan ko na lang siya.

Pumili pa ulit kami ng isa pang movie. And me being a fan of Nicholas Sparks, decided to watch The Longest Ride. We continued drinking, at hindi na ako pa umalis sa pagkakandong kay Jordan. It just felt nice and comfortable to have him near. I love the feel of his warmth on my body. Or his manly smell that invades my nostrils.

I don't know if it was because of the beer or because of the movie, but I suddenly had the urge to kiss Jordan. Paano ba naman kasi, nanunood kami ng Romance movie na merong sexy scenes and here I am, seated to his lap. Hindi ka ba makakaramdam ng awkwardness niyan? Juskwa!

Isinandal ko ang likod ko sa malapad niyang balikat habang yakap niya ako sa bewang. Inihilig niya ang kanyang ulo sa balikat ko. Nakikiliti ako sa pagdampi ng mainit niyang hininga sa balikat ko.

Napapikit ako at sumagi sa isip ko ang mga sandaling magkayakap kami ni Jordan. Kakaiba ang naging epekto niyon dahil nakaramdam agad ako ng matinding pag-iinit. Pilit kong sinupil ang nararamdaman ko at inayos ang pagkakaupo ko.

Sa pagkagulat ko ay naramdaman ko ang maumbok niyang alaga sa ilalim ng pang-upo ko. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko at hinampas ko si Jordan na ikinatawa lang niya.

"Jordan!"

He just laughed at me and hugged me tighter. And the closer I am to him, the more I feel his throbbing arousal. And the more I feel it, the more I feel aroused too. Yawa!

"Sorry Belle, I can't help it especially when you're this close to me. Your smell alone drives me crazy. Ano pa kaya iyong nandito ka sa kandungan ko at nayayakap ko? Hmm?"

He leaned closer and kissed me on my shoulder blades. I closed my eyes, my body burning with so much desire. My breathing hitched and became heavy.

We totally forgot about the movie as he gently traced my shoulder blades and neck with his wicked tongue. I held him closer and touched his back. He gently bit my shoulders and I felt goosebumps. A soft moan escaped my mouth.

After what seemed an endless race, he reached for my lips and gave me a sweet kiss. He kissed me with so much yearning and fervor. It felt like the first time. He held my nape and deepen the kiss. We kissed like never before. From passionate to hard, mind-blowing kisses that left us breathless.

He continued to kiss me hungrily. He managed to unhook my bra in between our kisses. I could immediately feel my n*****s hardening at his touch. He gently massaged my breasts while kissing me fervently.

I cannot help but to arch my body. His touch leaving tingling sensations all over my body. I closed my eyes as his lips landed on my collar bones, tracing it with his tongue and leaving wet kisses.

He removed my T-Shirt and bra. He looked at me with burning desire in his eyes. He claimed my lips again in a hot, passionate kiss. I could feel the warmth of his breath with mine as our tongues danced inside.

His hands casually moved down to my waist. His lips left mine and started devouring the sweet taste of my neck. His kisses traveled down to my breast. He anxiously licked one hardened peak and swirled his tongue around it. I grabbed his hair as he gently sucked on my breast.

His hands went down to my shorts and pushed his fingers inside.

A loud moan escaped my mouth as I felt his hand rubbing my core.

"You're so wet, honey. So ready for me."

I blushed at what he said. He guided me to stand up and removed my shorts and underwear. He continued kissing me on my nape and on my shoulders.

I was holding on the couch for support as he parted my legs wider. I gasped when he suddenly pushed his member from behind. I groaned from so much pleasure. I could almost feel his large manhood pumping inside. He started moving slowly while his right hand settled on my breast. His left hand slowly rubbing my c******s while he was thrusting. My lips parted as I felt an intense orgasm building inside. This is way different than what we did before. My insides exploded from an indescribable kind of pleasure.

He continued thrusting faster and deeper into me as I felt another wave of tingling sensation inside. He plunged his manhood deep inside before he came. I was breathing heavily, my sweat trickled down my body and my hair, an absolute mess, but I felt so satisfied.

I felt his c*m dripping down my legs. My knees were shaking from the massive love-making we had. He grabbed a tissue and carefully wiped the white liquid from my legs.

A few minutes later, we were both lying on the couch, cuddling each other. I rested my head on his shoulder while his hand enclosed me on a hug.

I love you...

I don't know if it was just my head messing up with me, but I thought I heard him say those words. I drifted off to sleep with a contented smile on my face.

I WOKE UP to an aromatic smell of sauteed garlic and onion. I smiled when I realized that I was covered with a blanket, despite being naked. Pinulot ko ang mga damit na nagkalat sa sahig at agad na nilagay sa mga marumihang damit na nasa kwarto ko. Naligo na ako at nagbihis.

Paglabas ko ay nakahain na ang almusal. Jordan was already wearing his uniform and seated in the dining table. Agad ako'ng umupo sa harapan niya. Umusal muna siya ng maikling pasasalamat sa mga biyayang natanggap namin bago kami nagsimulang kumain.

The drive towards our office was smooth. Jordan was smiling the whole time, and so am I. I cannot describe the feelings that I feel whenever he's around. The sudden loud and fast beating of my heart, the excitement and anxiousness of his warmth. I cannot put into words, how exactly I feel when I am with him. It feels like, he is already a part of me.

We kissed each other goodbye when we parted ways. Buong umaga ay naging magaan ang trabaho ko. While doing my work, I looked for OB-Gyne clinics near the office.

Hindi lang isang beses may nangyari sa amin ni Jordan, and even if he's using withdrawal method, that's not a guarantee that I won't get pregnant. Hindi sa takot ako sa bata or sa responsibilidad. It's just that, alam ko sa sarili ko na hindi pa ako handa para magkaroon ng pamilya.

Isang bagay pa na iniisip ko ay ang mga pangarap ni Jordan. I cannot risk getting pregnant and ruining his dreams. He's slowly reaching for his goals, I don't want to be a hindrance. Nagsusumikap siya para maiahon ang pamilya niya, he's their only hope. I'm not selfish enough to tie him to a responsibility that may take away everything from him.

I scheduled an appointment with an OB at ten o'clock. Pagdating ko sa clinic ng OB ay agad kong inexplain ang sitwasyon. She said she completely understood and advised me to wait for my menstrual cycle, then I can start drinking pills so I won't get pregnant.

I made a note mentally and remembered everything the doctor said.

That afternoon, Jordan fetched me. It was still early so we decided to have a stroll at the park. This is one of our favorite hang-out places. The serenity of the place, the soft wind that sooths us, and the unspoken peace that it makes us feel.

Napag-usapan namin ni Jordan ang pag gamit ng contraceptive. We both agreed that now's not the right time. Malaking responsibilidad ang pagpapamilya at malayo pa kami doon. Ni wala pa kaming malinaw na relasyon.

We were quietly sitting on the bench. Nilaro-laro niya ang mga daliri ko habang minamasdan namin ang papalubog na araw. Nagkulay ginto at kahel ang kalangitan, pero hindi iyon ang umagaw ng pansin ko.

Behind the tree where you can see the setting sun, a silhouette appeared. Her long hair cascaded on her beautiful face. Her slender body moved with such grace. My body stiffened at the sight of her. I could never forget her face, her piercing eyes that looked like daggers. She's here, for whatever game she's trying to play.

She locked her burning gaze on me. And from there, I saw how a creepy smile formed in her lips. I saw how she transformed from looking like an angel into looking like a devil.

Wala sa sariling napatayo ako at biglang kinabahan.

"S-she's here. The girl from your town, she's here."
