La Vie en Rose

CHAPTER 1: THE HONEYMOON (SPG)

“HAPPY?" nangisngislap ang mga matang bulong sa kanya ni Aidan matapos ang kanilang pag-iisang dibdib. Nasa reception na sila para sa kaunting salo-salo.

"Can't you see it in my eyes?" pabirong sagot niya sa asawa.

"Nakikita ko naman, I just want to make sure that you really are,"

"Of course, yes! A dream come true..." madamdamin niyang tugon.

"I'm happy, too. Can't wait na masolo kita mamaya." Nakangising bulong ng asawa.

"Ssshh! Marinig ka nila, nakakahiya." Saway niya.

"So what? You're my wife now. Kahit nga itakas kita rito tapos bahala na sila riyan, okay lang eh,"

"Aidan, behave. Okay?" Bulong niya sa asawa nang makita ang ama na papalapit sa table nila habang hawak nito ang mikropono sa kanang kamay.

"Hello, ladies and gentlemen. Please allow me to leave a few words to our newly-wed. Mga payo lang naman o gabay para sa masaya at panghabang-buhay na pagsasama ang ibabahagi ko." Seryosong wika ng ama.

"Please, carry on, Papa." Ani Aidan.

"Well, gusto ko lang malaman ninyo na ang buhay may-asawa ay hindi biro. Sabi nga ng matatanda, hindi ito kanin na kapag isinubo mo at napaso ka. Pwede mo pang iluwa. Hindi 'yan pwedeng i-apply sa asawa mo. Na kapag nagsawa ka na kay misis o mister eh sasabihin mo nang, ayaw ko na sa'yo bumalik ka na sa tiyan ng nanay mo," wika nito sa pabirong tono kaya naman nagsitawanan ang lahat.

"Huwag po kayong mag-alala, Papa. Hindi mangyayari 'yan." Puno ng pagmamahal na wika ni Aidan na nagpangiti sa mga bisita.

"Emerson, anak, now you are a certified homemaker blessed by the God. Please act accordingly," muling wika ng ama na natatawa. "Now that you're married, bawasan mo na ang pagiging matigas ang ulo. You have to think na hindi ka na mag-isa ngayon, dahil nariyan na si Aidan. Kailangan mo nang paganahin ang 5 senses nating mga tao. Do you guys know what I mean?"

"Hindi po, Papa..." Malumanay niyang sagot sa ama habang hawak ang kamay ng kabiyak.

"First, you have to put a good use with your sense of sight. Why?" Wikang patanong ng ama. "Well, the sense of sight is not all about what you see from the outer core of your spouse. You also have to see what's inside because 'yan ang mas mahalaga. You have to see through his eyes if he is happy, contented, loved and of course you have to see his ways of showing his emotions, his failures, his frustrations. By that, you'll definitely see and understand his own language." Ani ng ama habang lahat sila ay taimtim na nakikinig.

"Second, let the sense of smell takes over. Your nose is not all about smelling the scent of roses every morning in your garden. It has to be more than that. Smell your husband, does he smell nice? Or has body odor? Then, you have to give him a good bath." Pakengkoy na wika ng ama na nagpahalakhak sa kanila.

"No. I'm just kidding. As a wife, you have to smell everything. Kailangan mong amuyin ang mga bagay beyond it's own meaning. May iba na bang pabango sa t-shirt ng asawa mo, tutong na ba ang sinaing mo, o kaya naman naaamoy mong may iba na ang asawa mo?" Dagdag ng ama.

"I hope, he's not like that, Papa." Sagot niya habang nakatitig sa kabiyak.

"Dapat lang! Kaya paganahin ang pang-amoy. Believe in your instinct. It's powerful. Ask your Mom." Nakangising wika ng ama sabay kindat sa asawa.

Muli na namang napuno ng tawanan ang buong lugar dahil sa ama.

"Third, your sense of hearing. Our ears is not all about listening to every I love you's that your husband tells you before he falls asleep at night. You also have to listen with every sighs he made. Every problems he shares with you and every cries of his heart. By then, you can easily understand each other kasi willing kayong makinig sa bawat isa. Don't try to invalidate each other, okay? You have to talk to each other. Tell your problems to your spouse and make him listen. Then, plan how to make it work. And also, don't forget to conpliment each other, it's a music to our ears."

"Yes, Papa," magkapanabay na wika nila ni Aidan.

"Fourth, the sense of taste. Our tounge is made of tasting the sweetness and the bitterness of life, not just the food itself. What I mean is, you can spit the food if it tastes salty, bitter or bland. Throw it in a bin, made a new one. That's perfectly fine! But, you cannot throw your husband out just because he taste awful." Ani ng ama. At sa muli ay nagtawanan na naman ang lahat. Ganon yata talaga ang talent ng ama. Ang idaan sa biro ang pangaral ngunit tiyak na ito ay may laman. "What I mean is, your husband is in a perfect human form. But, no human is perfect. He has flaws, just like any of us. If he accidentally made you taste the bitterness of life, then find a way to make it sweeter once again. Don't give up easily. A good fight is way better than a tearful surrender." Dugtong ng ama.

She almost cried hearing those words from her father. What he said is true and she couldn't agree more.

"And the last but not the least, the sense of touch." Wika ng ama habang nakatingin sa kanilang dalawa. "It's not all about holding each other's hands, touching each other's body. It's a no, no! Those hands are also made to tap each other's shoulders for a job well done. It is also made to caress each other's back when sadness knock on your door. It is also made from helping each other. Don't loose the grip in each other's hands." Pagtatapos ng ama. "May this unsolicited advise, helps you in the future, mga anak." Pahabol pa nito bago ibinaba ang mikropono.

"Thank you so much, Papa. Rest assured na everything you just said. I will take it to my heart. It will be our guide to make our marriage, lasts a lifetime." She tearfully said while trying to stand to give her father a hug.

The laughter that once stand out, replace with happy tears as both of the family hugged each other as they celebrated the joy of their union.

"Hija, ikaw na ang bahala sa anak namin. I know he's in good hands. I can see na napalaki kang maayos ng iyong mga magulang. I know my son married to a good woman." Wika ni Carmen, ang ina ni Aidan.

"Maraming salamat po, Inay. Huwag po kayong mag-alala. Aalagaan ko at mamahalin si Aidan nang higit pa sa sarili ko." Sagot niya.

"Salamat anak, huwag mo sanang basta susukuan ang anak ko. Lalo na sa kanyang mga kahinaan, ikaw sana ang kanyang maging lakas."

"Makakaasa po kayo, Inay." Sagot niya na sinagot nito ng napakagandang ngiti.

Matapos ang madibdibang usapan ay nagpatuloy sila sa pagkain. Kasunod niyon ay ang sayawan sa saliw ng musika. Buong araw silang nagsaya kaya naman lahat ay hapong-hapo pagsapit ng takip-silim.

Ang mga magulang nila ay parehas ng nagpapahinga dahil bukas ng umaga ay babalik na sila sa kanilang mga bahay. Sila Jessie naman ay masayang nakikipag-inuman sa mga nakatagpo nitong bagong kaibigan kasama ang mga katrabaho ni Aidan.

Habang silang mag-asawa ay masayang nakaupo sa dalampasigan habang nakatitig sa napakagandang paglubog ng araw.

"Sweetheart..." Masuyong wika ni Aidan habang gagap ang kanyang mga palad. Nilaro nito ang wedding ring na nakasuot sa kanyang pala-singsingan.

"Hmmm?" Malambing niyang sagot.

"I just want you to know na lahat ng sinabi ni Papa sa'yo ay gagawin ko rin. I want this marriage work until we're old and gray. Handa akong gawin ang lahat para mapatunayan sa'yo na hindi ka nagkamaling pakasalan ako." Madamdaming wika ng asawa.

"I know... Kaya nga um-oo agad ako nang mag-propose ka. Let's do this together, Aidan. I can't promise you a married life with full of sunshine. Instead, I promise you na lagi mo akong kasama kahit ilang bagyo pa ang dumaan. I will remain faithful to you," malambing niyang sambit.

"Promise?"

"Cross my heart," nakangiti niyang tugon.

"Even if one day, you'll wake up and find me looking like a dork?" Nakangising tanong ng asawa na nagpahalakhak sa kanya.

"I still want to bonk you in our bed, sweetheart. Don't worry," natatawang biro niya na para bang pagsisisihan niya dahil biglang lumagkit ang tingin sa kanya ni Aidan.

"Oh really? Show me, sweetheart." Tila naghahamong wika nito.

"I didn't say that we will do it now, though."

"But I want it now, though." Gaya sa kanya ng asawa.

"I thought we're going to watch the sunset?" Painosenteng sagot niya ulit.

"We have our lifetime to watch sunset together, sweetheart. May iba akong gustong gawin." Nakakalokong sagot ng asawa sabay tayo mula sa pagkakaupo. Ginagap nito ang mga kamay niya at iginiya patayo. Pagkatapos ay kinarga siya nito na walang pasabi at malalaki ang hakbang na tinungo ang pribadong cottage nilang mag-asawa.

Samantala, pulang-pula naman ang mukha niya dahil sa ginawa ng asawa. Batid niyang marami ang nakakakita sa kanila kaya naman ganoon na lamang ang hiya na nararamdaman niya. Ngunit hindi rin niya itatanggi na sa kabila niyon ay nag-uumapaw rin ang pagkasabik niya sa asawa. It wasn't their first, to be honest. But that night, it was extra special.

Maingat siyang ibinaba ng asawa sa malambot na kama na mayroong mga talutot ng rosas.

"Can you wait for me for a moment? I'd like to take a shower first." Namamaos na wika ng asawa habang hinahalikan siya nito ng pino sa bandang leeg.

Sa halip na umuo ay ikinulong niya ito sa kanyang bisig at maharot na nagsalita.

"Can I come with you?" Nang-aakit niyang bulong.

"You're teasing me, sweetheart. May I just remind you na maaga pa. Baka mapalaban ka."

"And may I just remind you na we're planning to get pregnant, soon."

Dahil sa kanyang sinabi ay marahas siyang kinarga muli nito papasok ng banyo. Pagkasarado pa lang ng pinto ay mabili nitong hinubad ang suot na puting polo shirt. Siya naman ay mabilis ring naghubad ng suot niyang bulaklaking bestida. Underwear na lang ang natitira sa kanya ng muli siyang sunggaban ng asawa.

"Let me do the rest, sweetheart..." Gigil na wika ng asawa habang hinahalikan siya nito ng mariin sa labi. Halos madurog ang labi niya dahil sa gigil ng asawa. But who cares? It's their night.

Hindi niya na namalayan na nahubad na nito ang natitirang saplot niya at ganoon rin ito. Napasinghap pa siya ng bigla silang tumapat sa dutsa na may tubig na malayang pumapatak sa hubad nilang katawan.

"God, I'm going crazy!" Tila nababaliw na sambit ng asawa habang hinahalikan siya. Ang mga kamay nito ay malayang naglalakbay sa bawat sulok ng kanyang katawan. Bahagya pa siyang napaigtad ng maramdaman ang paglaro nito sa kaliwang dibdib niya. Kasabay nito ang pagbaba ng halik ng asawa mula sa kanyang leeg pababa sa kanyang maumbok na dibdib. Sabik nitong pinaglaruan ang kanyang korona na sa kasawiang palad ay inverted pa. Her husband works hard to make her n****e rise above and suck it.

"Aidan what are you doi-" sambit niya ngunit bigla rin siyang pinigilan ng asawa sa pamamagitan ng paghalik muli nito sa kanyang labi.

Her heart skip a beat when Aidan move his hands down to her butt and gently pinch it.

"I want you so bad, sweetheart!" Namamaos na wika ni Aidan. Walang pasabi na bigla itong bumaba at marahas na inangat ang kaliwang hita niya at ipinatong sa balikat nito.

Isang malayang ungol ang pinakawalan niya sa mga labi ng maramdaman ang malilikot na dila ng asawa kanyang kaselanan.

"Aidan..." Mahinang tawag niya sa asawa habang nakasabunot sa malagong buhok nito. Ngunit imbes na huminto ay mas lalo pa itong naging mapaglaro. Bahagya pa nitong tinudyo-tudyo ang kanyang maselang parte na lalong nagpabaliw sa kanya.

"Emerson..." Tawag sa kanya ng asawa nang muli itong tumayo para halikan siya. Kinuha nito ang palad niya at iginiya papunta sa kaselanan nito. It's not her first time touching it. But that night, he is hard as rock.

She stared at his manhood and gently massage it with her bare hands.

"Sweetheart, please..." Tila nagmamakaawang sambit ng asawa. Hudyat iyon para siya naman ang manawa sa kaselanan nito.

The next moment, she find herself tasting how sweet his precum was. She gently suck the tip of his manhood and she witness how her man loved it!

"Harder, sweetheart!" He uttered. His arousal was unimaginable. And that time she was under his power. And when he wants more, she will give more.

She started licking his two balls while gently holding his manhood with up and down motion.

Aidan seems to love it as much as she does, so, she has no way to stop until he grabs her arms and pressed her naked body on the bathroom wall. He lifted her leg again and she clung into him.

He kissed her once again as he was about to make their body become one. She bit her lower lip when she feels his harden manhood penetrating inside her.

"Aidan," she uttered while her eyes met him.

"Emerson..." He answered. And once again, they kissed so passionately while Aidan was moving as fast as he could inside her.

The sensation was so overwhelming that she didn't notice that he carried her all the way to their bed. They simply didn't care about the bed getting wet. Because at that moment, they're both gone crazy with the magic of being in one body beating as one.
