LOSTREGO SERIES: Arousing Consequences (TAGALOG)

CHAPTER 17

Marina

Every part of my body are sore.

Ellias is so f*cking irresistable.

Imagine we we're making love in every corner of his condo.

Sa bathroom, kitchen, study table,sofa even on the wall oh my god.

We're doing every different positions that i couldn't imagine.

I don't even know what he is up to, akala mo hindi na kami magkikita.

It's already 5:00 in the afternoon, mamayang 7pm pa ang punta ng parents ni Ellias sa bahay namin.

How could i see his parents in this condition.

Hindi ko nga alam kung makakalakad pa ba ako ng maayos.

Masama kong tinitigan si Ellias.

We are now cuddling on his bed, nakaligo at nakapagpalit narin kami ng matiwasay.

His eyes are closed.

Even in his sleeping state he is still handsome. Nakakaasar.

I pinched his nose.

Napadilat sya doon.

"Pupunta mamaya parents mo sa bahay namin tapos you leave a hickey all over my body. What do you want me to wear turtle neck?" naasar kong reklamo sa kanya.

Ngumisi lang sya doon.

Inalis ang kamay kong mariing pinipiga ang ilong nya at hinigpitan lalo ang yakap nya sakin at mas lalo akong idiin sa kanyang mga bisig.

I can feel his nose breathing on the top of my hair, while I am in fetal positions and facing his chest.

"I just miss you" maikli nyang tugon

Nahampas ko sya dahil doon.

He just groaned nag iinarte sa palo ko e, hindi naman yon malakas.

"Grabe ka naman kase makamiss kulang nalang buntisin mo ako." i said.

Napahinga sya ng malalim doon, gumalaw din ng bahagya sa kama at mariin akong tinitigan.

His focus are now on me.

Is he worried na baka mabuntis nya ako?

We were doing unprotected s*x lately.

There is a higher chance.

"Should i bought pills next time? or mag pa shot nalang ako for---"

He growled.

Biglang nainis sa sinabi ko. I'm just helping him not to worry.

Tinakpan nya bigla ang bibig ko ng kaniyang kamay.

See...namomroblema ka ngayon.

Napatili ako ng bigla nya akong ipinatong sa katawan nya, I am now on top of him habang nakahiga.

she patted my back while busy brushing my hair.

"No, you don't have to, i will be careful next time. Just don't drink pills or have a shot. Mag iingat na ako." he said with full of sincerity.

This time I could hear his loud heartbeat on his chest.

so may next time pa? oh god.

Napaaangat ang tingin ko sa kanya.

Is he that nervous?

His eyes now are being uneasy habang nakatingin sa kisame parang ang daming iniisip.

Napakagat nalang ako sa labi ko at hinayaang bumagsak ang ulo ko sa kanyang dibdib.

"Should we get ready now? papunta na parents mo samin" pag iiba ko ng topic

His hold now are being possessive, lumikot narin ang kamay at ipinirmi yon sa tyan ko marahang hinahaplos yon.

He cursed out of nowhere.

Lito ko lang syang binalingan ng tingin is he okay?

"30 minutes we get up. Just stay like this for a while" he said while hugging me tightly.

I just nod, besides pagod na pagod pa din ako gusto ko munang magpahinga kahit saglit.

30minutes had passed immediately. Naalimpungatan nalang ako ng gisingin nya ako sa mararahan nyang halik.

"Baby, wake up." his low baritone voice are enough to light up my soul.

Pinatakan nya ako ng isang halik sa labi.

Nangingiti na.

"Your Mom are calling you earlier. Ako na ang sumagot sorry. " he explained.

Nagulat naman ako doon really? then anong pinag usapan nila?

Napabangon na ako ngayon sa kama, napaigtad lang saglit because my lower part are still throbing.

Tinulungan nya naman akong makatayo doon.

"What my mom said? Nagalit ba? kase wala pa tayo? Ano daw sabi?" sunod sunod na pagtatanong ko.

His eyes are wearily akala mo may sinabing hindi maganda si mama sa kanya kaya para syang nanlulumo.

He sighed.

"It's nothing...pinapapunta lang tayo sa inyo. Shall we go?" he said softly.

He look so blank right now. Hindi na rin sya mapakali kung anong una nyang gagawin.

Nalaglag nya pa nga sa kanyang bulsa ang susi ng kotse nya.

Nilapitan ko sya para pakalmahin.

"Ellias just relax hindi naman against sa'yo ang family ko. They will supporting us believe me."

I am saying the truth.

He just tiltled his head upwards, malalim ang paghinga.

He need to release some frustration he was feeling right now.

Masyado syang kabado.

Minutes have passed.

Umalis na kami ngayon sa condo nya.

I am now wearing nude shades of turtle neck and long white fitted skirt.

Balot na balot.

Dinala lang 'to kanina ng sekretarya nya habang tulog ako. That what he says.

Kasalanan nya yon, he leave hickeys all over my body.

Pinagbuksan nya na ako ngayon ng pinto ng kotse nya at pumasok na.

He is now wearing his white fresh polo shirt and black slacks. His black suit is currently on the back on his car 'di nya pa sinusuot. His hair is slighly damp.

He looks so hot even though it's his normal outfit at work.

Namula ako bigla.

Pumasok narin sya sa kotse at sinimulan ng paandarin yon papunta sa bahay namin.

smooth lang byahe dahil hindi naman traffic.

"Should we buy some foods pasalubong kila mama?" I asked him.

Lumingon sya saglit sakin pero binalik din ang tingin sa kalsada.

He's just shook his head.

"My parent's already bought food and prepare for dinner. They just now waiting for us." seryoso nyang sabi.

Oh okay.

I feel a sudden urge to hold his hand pero hindi ko ginawa. He is look so problematic.

Nakarating kami sa amin ng walang nagsasalita.

Nauna na syang bumaba ng kotse at pinagbuksan ako.

I look at our Mansion, merong naiba.

It looks more a party venue maraming lights sa labas, may musika ding maririnig sa loob.

See, mukha ngang yung pamilya nya at pamilya ko nagkakasiyahan na sa loob e.

Nakalabas na ako ngayon ng kotse nya, nakapark narin ito sa garahe namin.

I am now infront of him, nakayuko sya 'di gumagalaw.

"Ellias, pasok na tayo sa loo--"

I couldn't finish my sentences when he suddenly took my left hand and slide a diamond ring on my third finger.

Nagulat ako doon.

"This is engagament ring Marina." mahina nyang sabi.

I was shocked. Oh my god is he serious?

Napaangat ako ng tingin sa kanya.

His featured now are soft. Makikitaan mo sya ngayon ng paghihina sa paraan ng mga titig nya sakin.

"but...how I mean? are you serious?" hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko habang tinitingnan ang singsing na bigay nya.

it was a classic solitaire with a simple band and a traditional ring setting. The white sparkling diamonds in in the middle is shouting of extravagance.

"I know my family is here to asked your hand to your parent's but i've been being sure right now. Hindi naman kita pinipressure I just give you that ring. Nasa sa'yo parin naman kung tatanggapin mo o hindi." he explained.

I just don't know what to say.

Kapag pumayag ako is he now fiance right?

Oh my god?

Then what next? Being married?

Napatakip na ako ngayon sa bibig ko.

"Marina look, hindi naman kita minamadali. We can still plan our wedding after your graduation in college. I just give you ring for symbolizing my promises that i will be marrying you in the future. Nothing to worry." he said.

I look at him intently he was so guilty and confused.

Pinipigilan ko na ang tawa ko ngayon, alam ko naman. Nagulat lang talaga ako na all this days na magkasama kami seryoso pala talaga sya sakin.

Tiningnan kong muli ang singsing na bigay nya.

This is gorgeous to be honest, how can you reject this?

Alam ko naman sa sarili ko na may feelings na ako kay Ellias at ganon din sya sa akin.

Tumango nalang ako bilang pag apruba sa kanya.

Yes, Ellias i would gladly accept your sudden proposal.

Lumiwanag ang mata nya doon at bigla akong niyakap.

"Really? pumapayag ka?" tanong nya ulit.

Nangingiti akong tumango habang yakap sya.

the noise of happiness are evident in our both eyes, if i could thank all the saints that i've known matagal ko ng ginawa.

Masaya kaming pumasok ngayon sa loob, Nadatnan namin doon si Nanay Flores na busy sa pag aayos ng mga pinggang gagamitin para sa dinner.

Even our maids are busy preparing.

"Nay, sila mama po?"tanong ko habang nakasunod sakin ngayon si Ellias sa likod.

Napunta ang atensyon ni nanay sa likod ko hindi ako pinansin.

"Hijo! Ang gwapong bata mo na ngayon. Kumusta ang tagal mo naring hindi nakapasyal dito."

Oh, they knew each other?

Napakamot naman sa batok si Ellias ng maalala sya ni nanay.

So he visits our mansion before? in his younger years i guess.

"Ganun parin naman ho nay, mas responsable nga lang po ngayon." he chuckled.

Lumabas naman mula sa kitchen ang mga magulang namin at nadatnan kami ni Ellias.

Our mom are grinning like an idiot there while our dad's are serious tila hindi nakikipag biruan.

Napalunok ako doon.

I know they supported us.

Pero ng maalalang hindi nga pala magiging mabait ang pakikitungo ni Dad kay Ellias doon ako nangamba.

Napatingin din ako sa direksyon nya.

He looks so serious too. Hindi mo na makikitaan ng kaba ngayon.

He hold my right hand, pinagsiklop yon ng mahigpit at nauna na syang lumapit sa mga magulang namin.

"Mom, Dad" he said at hinalikan ang mama nya sa pisngi. His dad are ignoring him at nauna ng naupo sa mesa.

Oh..magka away ba sila?

Nawala ang atensyon ko kay Tito Lucio when my mom suddenly hug me tight. Nabitawan din ako doon ni Ellias.

"Finally your two are here. Can we sit now. Masasarap ang mga pagkaing hinanda namin ni Alaina. You must have to taste it Marina." excited na sabi ni Mama at hinila na ako paupo sa dinning area.

My mom are very happy now.

Nagsipag sunuran nalang din sila at nag si upo na.

My family is basically sitting on the right side on our long table, habang ang pamilya ni Ellias nasa tapat namin.

Only Lukas are not present in their Family.

My Dad and Tito Lucio are facing each other, they are look dangerous now.

It was awkward to be honest.

Kahit na may tugtog parang nabibingi parin ang tenga ko ngayon.

Only mom and tita Alaina are the one who lights up the mood.

"You will be my balae na pala mare, I couldn't imagine that this is already happening!" My mom said to Tita Alaina.

Naghagikgikan ang dalawa, it's just like bestfriends do. Ano pa nga ba.

"That's true I am exited for their offspring in the near future! Sino kaya ang magiging kamukha you or me?" dagdag ni Tita

Oh my god!

Are they for real?

Offspring really?

Pasulyap sulyap ako kay Ellias habang sya mariin lang ang titig sakin.

I saw him licked his lips, namula yon.

Hindi nya binibitawan ang tingin sa'kin kaya ako nalang ang unang nagbaba.

Hindi narin naman nagtagal nailagay narin ng mga maid ang pinagmamalaki nila Mama at Tita.

It was a budafest actually.

All kinds of foods you imagined nasa lamesa, mapa main course, dessert and alcohol.

"It's finally here thank you guys." Mama said and thanking our maids for bringing our food in here.

Napaubo si Papa bagay na kinatahimik nila Mama at Tita.

Napakagat ako ng labi.

Umiinom muna sya ng tubig at marahas na nakatingin na ngayon kay Ellias.

Papa don't be too harsh on my fiance please.

"Anyway let's eat first." daddy announce.

Nagpalakpakan naman yung mga nanay namin at pinaglagyan na kami ng pagkain.

"You should try this Hija, I order it pa sa Benguet." Tita Alaina said while busy minding giving me foods.

I just smiled at her at hinayaan syang gawin ang gusto nya sa pinggan ko.

"Anak, try this too it's so delicious. You should eat more your so petite." Mommy said

Napapabuntong hininga nalang ako dito sa totoo lang.

Our mom's are incredible pain in the ass right now.

It is still a serious matter?

Only our Dad's are taking this situation's seriously.

"Eat this too Marina." Ellias said binigay na sakin ang nabalatan nyang hipon ngayon.

I pursed my lips on his action.

Napatingin tuloy yung mga magulang namin sa ginawa ni Ellias.

"Where's your camera?" I heard Tita Alaina said but it was almost a whisper.

I can sense na may inabot si mama kay tita pero hindi ko na yon nilingon.

Ellias are now occupied on what he is doing.

Ang pagbabalat ng sugpo tapos ibibigay sakin.

I feel a flash of camera shot us when Ellias led his hand on my plate for giving me his peeled shrimp.

Hindi ako nakatingin doon dahil na kay Ellias ang focus ko.

He is the only one who looked at the camera with a stern look in his eyes.

Namula ako doon.

He look so hot.

I should see those picture later.

"Oh my god! They are perfect match!" Tita said.

"Let me see!" agaw naman ni Mama

Pinipigilan na sila ngayon ng kanya kanya nilang asawa, naasar na sa pinag gagawa nila.

"Honey, sit down! give some manners" galit na tono ni Tito Lucio sa asawa nya.

Pero hindi umubra, pinagtaasan lang sya ng kilay ni tita alaina at tumigil na si tito napainom nalang ng tubig.

Oh my god! Our mom is the boss here i could tell.

"Wife, Can you please take this matter seriously " bulong ni Dad kay Mom.

Tinapik ni mama ang kamay ni papa na nasa bewang nya ngayon.

"Yes, i am taking this seriously wag mo muna akong hawakan I am now busy!" Naiirita ng tugon ni Mama.

Napahilot nalang ako sa sentido ko.

God help our dad's.

It was a disastrous dinner laging pinapansin nila Mama ang mga galaw namin ni Ellias.

Kulang nalang ultimo pag lunok namin pansinin narin nila.

Natapos ang Dinner namin na problemadong problemado ang mga tatay namin kung pano suwayin ang mga asawa nila.

We are here now on Sala.

"Hijo, sit besides your girlfriend." Tita suggest.

Ayaw sana ni Ellias dahil mariin na ang titig sa kanya ng tatay ko pero si mommy na yung humila kay Ellias para makaupo sa tabi ko.

I cought once.

He is just awkwardly sitting besides me while my dad are looking at him.

"Shall we start?" Dad said.

Why i should feel na parang isa tong private meeting?

Natawa ako sa naisip.

Nagtanguan ang kanya kanyan naming mga magulang habang kami ni Ellias hindi mapakali.

"Anyway, since my son, is the one who responsible in this matter. As his dad gusto ko lang sabihin na hindi namin sya kinakampihan for what he is wrong doings in the past. I know it will boiled your blood Tyron knowing that they two probably do that thing before. So as responsible parents I talk to my son regarding this issue. And he will gladly take his responsibility for your daughter. Hindi naman kami bumabali ng pangako." Tito Lucio said.

My Dad are still in his dangerously facade.

Napatango si Dad sa sinabi ni Tito Lucio.

But i dont like the fact that he will throw dagger eyes on Ellias.

Binalingan nya na ito ngayon.

"Ellias, I know you since then... Gusto ko lang ipaalala sa'yo na the two precious things in my life are my wife and my daughter, now as Lucio said. Hindi bumabali ng pangako ang mga Lostrego. I hope makita ko yon sa'yo." Mariing sabi ni papa kay Ellias.

Umupo ng tuwid si Ellias, Attentive sa gustong mangyari ni papa.

"Yes, tito. I am not breaking my promises papanagutan ko po talaga yung anak nyo." he said.

Naggalawan ang mga panga ni papa mas lalong sumeryoso.

"Ready to give up your woman? Clubbing? Having s*x? Playing emotions?" pagtatanong ni Papa

Napayuko doon si Ellias tila dismayado sa mga narinig.

"I don't have any woman now tito, and yes I will giving up my hobbies before. I am serious now with your daughter. Gusto ko lang din humingi ng pasensya dahil nasaksihan nyo akong ganon ang ginagawa." he apologize.

Tahimik naman sa tabi ng kani kanilang asawa ang mga nanay namin, seryoso ding nakikinig.

"If that's the case son, the plan that you are telling me before you should pursue and continue it." Tito Lucio said

Clueless kami doon kung ano yon. Miske si Papa napataas ng kilay dahil doon.

"What ever your plan to my daughter Ellias. I am now expecting that you are planning your early proposal to her, perhaps you must need to plan a wedding." seryosong sabi ni Papa.

Is that serious? He want us to be married?

Akala ko ba ayaw nya.

"Don't worry Tito. I already plan to propose to her as early as possible. I just gave her Engagement ring earlier at tinanggap nya yon. I am now here with my parent's to ask your permission kung pwede ko po bang hingin ang kamay ng anak nyo." biglang pag singit ni Ellias.

Nagtilian naman si Mommy at Tita sa tabi ng kani kanilang asawa.

Napangiti nalang din tuloy ako at napahawak sa singsing na binigay nya sakin kanina.

Our Dad's are looking now on my ring finger.

while...

Tita Alaina started hugging his husband, Tito Lucio is stoic and hard pero namumula na.

Si mommy naman hinalikan sa pisngi si Dad, at may ibinulong pero 'di ko naman narinig.

Daddy holding my mom's hands tightly. Pinipigilan ito sa sobrang paggalaw.

"Then it will settle right? Alaina!!! We must annouced their engagament right? What do you think we invited some media's too?"

Nagyakapan na yung mga nanay namin. Umalis na sa kaninang pwesto ng mga asawa nila.

"We should mare! And oh my god! Lostrego Firm aside from Andrade scapes are now being Associates. Imagined the sponspors and investors we would get."

Naghigikhikan na sila doon.

Oh my god mom please.

Hinawakan na ngayon ni Ellias ang kamay ko.

He surely assuring me that it was okay.

Hinaplos ko na rin ngayon ang mga kamay nya.

I know Ellias.

Masakit lang talaga sa ulo isipin pinggagawa ng mga nanay namin.

"Tyron, is this settle now? Pumapayag ka ba? I now our wives are exaggerating something, but it will be valid kung inaprubahan mo ba." Tito Lucio being concern.

Napabuntong hininga si Daddy doon.

"Ito rin naman ang gusto kong mangyari Lucio. Yeah I am now giving my blessing to your son."

Kinangiti ko yon.

Napatingin ako kay Ellias. He is now smiling too pero medyo namumula mula ang mata nya.

Is he crying?

"Just promise me Ellias that no matter what happened huwag na huwag mong sasaktan o paiiyakin ang anak ko, Hindi mo pa ako naiintindihan ngayon pero kapag nagka anak ka ng babae. You will surely do everything wag lang silang makitang nasasaktan. Hear me." Daddy finality said.

Tumango doon si Ellias at biglang tumayo.

Kinuha ang kamay ni papa.

"Makakaasa po kayo" He said.

It was a roller coaster ride of emotions ang daming ganap, ang daming nangyari.

Nagpapaalam na sila Tito and Tita kila mama ngayon.

Bukas may aatendand pa kaming Welcome Party. Kailangan narin naming matulog ng maaga.

"We will visit soon balae don't worry. Kita din tayo sa Company nyo, Madami akong kwento." Tita Alaina said her farewell to Mom.

"Dapat lang Balae! Oh sya sige mag ingat kayo sa byahe gagabihin na kayo sa Santa Valencia." Mommy said.

I kissed tito and tita cheeks before they go inside on their car.

Si Ellias nalang ang naiwan.

"Son, try talk to your brother hindi ko mareach ang phone laging nakapatay. Anyway we have to go. I love you!"

"Love you too Mom, Dad pakialalayan nalang si Mama lasing na." Ellias said.

Hindi narin naman nagtagal nakaalis na ang kotse nila Tita.

Pumasok narin sa loob sila Mom and Dad. Binigyan kami ng private space ni Ellias.

It wast past 10pm.

"You need to rest, Pinagod kita kanina. I'm sorry nawala sa isip ko na may pupuntahan ka pang Welcome Party bukas. You sure you okay?" He asked with concerns.

Natatawa ko syang binalingan.

"Really? Nakalimutan mo o ayaw mo lang akong papuntahin doon bukas kaya mo ako pinagod. Imagined nandon si Kyron." pang aasar ko.

Napanguso sya doon.

Hinigit na ako ngayon sa bewang at inilapit sa kanya.

"I don't f*****g care who's that guy in the first place. Fiancé na nga kita, and anytime soon our parent's will announce our engagement kaya bakit ako Matatakot. And besides tama ka, a month or so baka may laman na yan." he said while looking at my stomach.

Nahampas ko sya doon.

What are he's implying to? na baka mabuntis ako?

"Anyway I have to go, rest and eat healthy from now on."

Binigyan nya ako ng isang halik sa labi bago sya tuluyang pumasok sa kotse nya.

Binaba nya saglit ang windshield nya at may sinabi.

"I will be your personal driver starting tommorrow, Goodnight baby." Pahabol nya at biglang pinaharurot palabas yung kotse nya.

Napailing ako doon.

Anyway I don't know what to feel on his last sentiments.

Napahawak tuloy ako sa tyan ko.

Ready na ba ako doon? But I am still schooling.
