Fire of Hope (Complete)

Chapter 24

Chapter 24

Nasa loob na kami ng isang suite sa La Mirasol. Wala pa yata sana siyang balak pumasok kung hindi lang kami pinagtinginan ng isang pamilyang lumabas sa elevator at naabutan kami sa hindi kaaya-ayang posisyon.

I was sitting on the edge of the queen sized bed while fidgeting my fingers on my lap. Nasa harapan ko siya pero nakaupo sa kulay abong single couch at nakapangalumbaba sa akin. Walang nagsasalita sa aming dalawa kaya mas lalo kong nararamdaman ang paggapang ng init sa aking pisngi.

"Bakit gusto mong magka-baby?" he asked in a low, icy tone. "You know I had been into casual s*x before and I don't want to do it with you."

Humugot ako ng malalim na hininga. He didn't really have to say that, alright? I just felt like I wasn't good enough for him to get laid with.

I must be really losing my mind. How ironic that the reason why I was sent back here is to move on from the scandal, and now I'm literally dragging my mself into a new one. Ang kaibahan lang ngayon, ako pa ang nagmumukhang desperada para lang maikama.

I'm a firm believer of giving myself to my man after marriage so I won't have any regrets if I get pregnant. Premarital s*x will never be a choice and is considered taboo for me. That's what I believe and that's what I should keep on my mind.

I'm not against those who approve of premarital s*x because we have our own beliefs. However, people who are involved in this kind of activity, particularly the girl or woman, should be aware that it may end up with unwanted pregnancy, abortion, and various complications and diseases that can even lead to death.

Bago pa dumating ang araw na ito, napag-isipan ko na ang posibleng mangyari kung sakali mang pumayag si Echo. I'm now at a legal age but still teenager and I'm aware that the teenage pregancy rate in our country is high due to lack of s*x education.

Honestly, there's nothing to be proud of being a teenage mother. But I salute those who are strong enough to bear and take care of their child at their young age, especially if they are a single parent. Mahirap kapag walang family planning dahil hindi lang ang magulang ang kawawa kundi pati na ang bata. At saan pa rin aasa? Sa magiging lolo at lola?

"Eona, kailan ka ba magsasalita? Kapag naubos na ang oras natin dito? Titigan na lang tayo, gano'n?" Binagsak niya ang likod sa inuupuan. "Bakit gusto mong magka-baby agad? Huling tanong na."

Nag-angat ako ng tingin sa kanya. "Naalala mo ba 'yong unang date natin sa KFC? Noong naging tayo na offically. You told me... that your dream is to marry me."

His parted lips was inviting as he stayed silent, waiting for me to continue.

"And then you changed it. Sabi mo... kahit anak na lang mula sa a-akin." Nanginig ang boses ko kasabay ng pag-init ng sulok ng mata. "And now... I'm giving this chance—"

"Damn it, Eona!"

Tumayo siya at mabilis na kinain ng hakbang ang distansya namin. Napapitlag ako nang hawakan niya ako sa magkabilang balikat at pilit ipinatayo. Umagos ang mainit na luha mula sa mga mata ko.

Ang mga paniniwala ko, kaya kong baliin para kay Claudia. Para sa ikasasaya niya. Kahit ito na lang... makabawi man lang sa lahat ng nagawa kong hindi maganda sa kanya.

"Tingin mo, sinabi ko 'yon dahil gusto ko lang na anakan ka talaga? Tingin mo, ganoon lang kababaw ang gusto ko? Ang maanakan lang kita, ayos na?"

"H-hindi ba?"

"Tangina naman, Eona. Oo, gusto kong magkaanak tayo pero kapag kasal na tayo. Mangyayari 'yon kapag tapos na tayo pareho sa pag-aaral at nakapag-ipon na! Hindi 'yong ganito!"

Humikbi ako tinakpan ang bibig. His red eyes were glistening with tears.

"Eona, gusto ko rin naman ng pamilyang buo dahil lumaki akong walang magulang, alam mo 'yan. Gusto mo ng anak? Sige nga, handa ka bang tumigil sa pag-aaral habang nagbubuntis ka? Kaya ko namang maging ama ng anak ko kahit nag-aaral ako dahil may ipon naman ako. Pero ikaw? Handa at kaya mo ba talagang maging ina sa murang edad?" hamon niya na mas lalong nagpahikbi sa akin.

My chest was stabbed painfully with his words. Handa na nga ba akong maging ina? Kaya ko bang buhayin ang magiging anak ko? O masisira lang din kami pareho?

My legs wobbled that my behind fell back on the soft mattress. Hirap na hirap ako sa paghinga na para bang ano mang oras ay kakapusin na ako sa hangin.

"Hindi naman biro itong gusto mo, Eona." Pumiyok ang kanyang boses. "Madaling gumawa ng bata pero hindi madaling maging magulang na wala pa tayo sa tamang edad."

"Pero..."

"Lalo ka na..." Lumuhod siya sa harapan ko at ikinulong ang dalawa kong kamay sa palad niya. "Eona, you're just eighteen. Mabuti kung ako ang magbubuntis, e. Natatakot din akong mahirapan ka."

Wala nang paglagyan ang hagulgol ko. I never thought I'd be this desperate for a baby I want to produce for Claudia.

"I'm sorry..." iyak ko sa kanya. "I just want a baby for my twin sister, Echo. Claudia... Claudia will eventually leave us soon. My sister is dying, Echo." I sobbed. "Her last wish is to become a mother of her own child but she can't bear a child because of her condition."

Binawi ko ang kamay sa kanya at itinakip sa mukha dahil sa sobrang kahihiyan. Ang isipin pa lang na mawawala nang tuluyan ang kambal ko ay parang dinudurog na ang puso ko. If I can only spare my life for her, I'll willingly do it. Para lang mas humaba pa ang buhay niya.

Echo's warm and large hand removed my hands on my face. Pumikit ako habang humihikbi. Gumalaw ang kama sa kanan ko dahil sa pag-upo niya. He held my face and forced me to look at him. Pinunasan niya ang pisngi ko gamit ang kanyang daliri.

"Shh... Eona..."

I opened my swollen eyes. Ramdam ko ang init ng kanyang hininga sa aking mukha dahil sa sobrang lapit niya.

Hinawi niya ang hibla ng buhok kong humaharang sa aking mukha. I certainly looked like a mess right now but I didn't care. My breathing hitched when he moved his face closer to mine. Amoy na amoy ko siya at para akong mawawalan na lang bigla ng malay sa sobrang kabog ng dibdib ko.

"I'm already in pain now seeing you cry because of this," he whispered on my left ear before sliding his hand at the back of my head. "Do you... really want to do it?"

Nagtindigan ang mumunting balahibo ko sa batok at sa braso.

"Pananagutan kita, Eona, kung ito talaga ang gusto mo. Pero... handa ka ba talaga?"

Umurong na rin yata ang dila ko. His husky voice and enchanting smell were making me lose my mind. Marahan akong tumango sa kanya.

Yes, Echo. I'm... ready for this. For... Claudia.

"Once I kiss you, there's no holding back, baby." Marahan niyang hinaplos ang batok ko.

I shut my eyes close and leaned back my head at the pleasure it sent me. Nagwawala na ang organ ko sa dibdib. Shame on me. I didn't condition myself for this but I said I was ready.

My eyelids were heavy when I opened my eyes. Bahagyang lumayo ang mukha niya sa akin at pinagmasdan ako. Umalon ang kanyang lalamunan at bumaba ang tingin sa aking leeg.

"Will you marry me after this?"

My lips pulled apart. Lumapit siya sa gilid ng aking leeg at wala sa sariling itinagilid ko ang ulo para sa kanya. I felt the tip of his nose nudging my skin tenderly.

"Sagutin mo ako, Eona. Hindi ko itutuloy ito kapag hindi ka pumayag na magpakasal sa akin."

"Y-yes..." I even nodded and an audible gasp escaped from my lips when he kissed and sucked on my neck.

Nawala ang kamay niya sa aking batok at agad akong napatangad nang mabilis niyang hinila ang scrunchie sa buhok ko. My wavy hair fell carelessly on my back. Napadilat ako pero agad ding napapikit nang maramdaman ang malambot at mainit niyang labi sa akin.

Nawala na ang lahat ng katinuan sa katawan ko. Para nang may sariling isip ang mga kamay ko na humawak sa kanyang balikat at inilapit pa ang sarili sa kanya.

His hand was caressing my back and the other one was on my hair, pulling it lightly to lift my head so he could kissed me the way he wanted. Passionately and with his fiery tongue. I opened my mouth and let his tongue delved inside and devoured me.

His manipulative fingers found my dress' zipper on my back and slid it open. Saglit siyang humiwalay sa akin at gamit ang mapupungay na mata ay pinagmasdan ko siya. His eyes settled on my lips. Napatingin ako sa kanyang labing pulang-pula na halos namamaga na.

My face heated and my back straightened when he touched me there. The corner of his lips curved.

"You didn't wear a bra..."

I smiled shyly. "The dress has foams for my breasts. And... I don't want you to remove so many clothes from me."

"What a brat..." His lips twitched and without warning, he glided down the sleeves on my arm, revealing my mounds on him.

I fought the urge to cover my chest with my arms when he gawked at my round breasts. Naitukod ko ang dalawang kamay sa likuran nang sakupin ng isa niyang kamay ang kaliwa kong dibdib.

"Damn boobs. Parang hinulma talaga para sa kamay ko," he uttered and started massaging it softly.

Thank God, hindi ako flat-chested. At least, hindi siya mamomroblema sa kakapain.

He attacked my lips desperately that my back touched the soft fabric of the duvet. He briskly pulled my dress down to my toes until I was only left with my undies. Kneeling on my side, he scooped me from where I was and gently laid me at the center head of the bed.

I brought my thumb in between my teeth when he positioned himself on top of me with still his clothes on. I could see the blazing desire on his eyes when he roamed his gaze on my body.

Tinanggal niya ang suot na relo at maingat na ipinatong iyon sa night table. Using his right knee, he pushed my right thigh sidewards to spread my legs wider. Uminit ang pisngi ko pero nang yumuko siya at marahang hinalikan ako sa labi ay muli na naman akong bumigay.

His rough hand was discovering each part of my body and whenever I reacted to his touch, he would teasingly enter his tongue in my mouth. Suminghap ako at mahinang napaungol nang pisilin niya ang dibdib ko.

"Don't be shy. Moan louder, Eona..." he teased on my lips. "Moan my name, baby..."

Bumaba ang isang kamay niya sa pagitan ng hita ko. Umangat ang balakang ko at muling suminghap. I snaked my arm on his neck as I pulled him closer to me. I closed my eyes and sucked his lower lip before shoving my tongue inside his mouth.

Nakagat ko ang kanyang labi nang ipasok niya ang daliri sa gilid ng panty ko.

"E-Echo, a-ahh..." I pushed back my head on the pillow as he rubbed my labia.

His lips left mine. He kissed my cheek down to my jaw and neck while still massaging both my boob and c******s. Mabigat ang paghinga ko at kahit malamig sa loob ng kuwarto ay tumatagaktak na ang pawis ko.

"Jericho!" I moaned loudly when his mouth reached my peak. "Damn... ohh..."

Napahawak ako sa kanyang buhok at kahit inaantok ang mga mata ay dumilat ako. Napapaliyad ako dahil sa sarap na dulot nito. He was alternately sucking and massaging my boobs with his delightful tongue and hand.

"Gosh, Echo," I moaned. "I want... more.. please..."

His eyes turned to me as he let me watched his tongue enjoying the small bud of my peak. I sucked in my bottom lip and my eyes rolled at the back of my head.

Goodness. I didn't know it will be this... satisfying and pleasurable. It's just his tongue and hand and I almost gone crazy.

His tongue traced the valley of my breasts. My stomach tensed as he wandered his hands again on every inch of my arms, my waist, and down to my thighs. He rested his face on my neck and his hot breath fanned me.

"Soundproof ba 'to? Ang ingay mo, e." Humalakhak siya bago hinalikan ang aking balikat at tiningnan ako sa mata. "Damn, you're so red. Do you like it?"

Napatango ako. His brow shot up and he seemed amused.

Mainit na ang pakiramdam ko at ang buong mukha ko. Hindi ko siya magawang sawayin sa panunukso niya dahil nililibang pa rin ako ng mahabaging kamay niya.

My hands landed on the hem of his longsleeves as I attempted to pull it off him. Bahagya siyang lumayo sa akin at siya na mismo ang naghubad sa damit. Basta niya na lang hinagis iyon sa likuran niya.

I propped my elbows on the bed to watch him shamelessly. I've seen him topless before but I never stared at his toned muscles and abs yet to appreciate them. Nakaluhod siya sa harapan ko habang ang kaliwa kong hita ay nasa pagitan ng mga binti niya.

I looked at him under my lashes before settling my shaking hands on his chest down to his abs. I heard his gasp when my lips got in touch with his lower torso. Bumaba pa ang daliri ko sa kanyang sinturon.

"Should I remove it now?" I asked softly, trying to hide my nervousness.

His jaw was clenching. Nag-aapoy ang kanyang mga mata habang pinanonood ako sa ginagawa. Hindi siya sumagot kaya kusa ko nang binaklas ang kanyang sinturon.

He captured my wrist when I was about to unbutton his pants, too. Napalunok ako at muli siyang tiningala.

"Ako na. Nanginginig ka pa," naiiling niyang sambit at walang ano-ano'y tinanggal ang butones at ibinaba ang zipper niya.

Nanlaki ang mata ko at agad napagapang patalikod para lumayo sa kanya. Kumunot ang noo niya at kinagat ang labi bago umalis ng kama para ibaba nang tuluyan ang pants niya kasama ang boxer.

"Oh my!" I shrieked when his anaconda sprung to its life.

Nanlamig ang buo kong katawan at parang gusto nang umatras. What the actual heaven? I didn't know that his pututoy back then could have been this huge and thick now!

Muli siyang sumampa sa kama at bago pa ako makaatras kahit na wala naman nang aatrasan ay nasa ibabaw ko na muli siya at ang dalawang braso niya ay nasa magkabilang gilid ko.

He tilted his head and c****d a brow. "Natatakot ka na?"

"U-uh—"

Napapitlag ako nang idikit niya ang sarili sa aking hita. Mainit iyon at matigas.

"I-I'm not!" Napalunok ako. "A-ano ba? Are we going to continue or—ah!"

Napabalik ako sa pagkakahiga dahil hinila niya ang magkabilang hita ko pababa. Ngumisi siya nang mahawakan ang garter ng panty ko.

"Hindi pa. I'll eat you first." He winked and pulled off my underwear. "Nice panty, by the way."

He crawled down to face the center of my body. Napatakip ako sa mata nang maramdaman ang lamig na dumampi sa hubad kong p********e noong ibinuka niya ang mga hita ko para pagmasdan iyon.

He brushed his finger on my inner thigh. Nanginginig ang mga binti ko nang maramdaman ang init ng kanyang hininga sa tapat ng gitna ko. My hands flew automatically on his hair when he started kissing the cheek of my feminity.

"Echo, please..."

He was teasing my sensitive bud with his tongue. Naiinis ako dahil pinahihirapan niya pa ako. Nasabunutan ko siya at hinila pa ang ulo niya palapit sa akin. Mukhang sa impyerno na ako masusunog dahil sa ginawa ko.

I moaned loudly when he began sucking my c**t and lapping my labia occasionally. My body arched at the tingling sensation he was sending me. Pakiramdam ko ay mapapaos na ako sa pagpapakawala ng ungol nang dahan-dahan niyang ipasok ang isang daliri sa akin.

He looked at me. "Masakit?"

"Mahapdi konti..." I pouted. "But it's fine."

He massaged my c**t with his thumb as he leisurely took in and out his finger inside me. I winked my eye as I absorbed the slight ache it gave me. Gradually, I became comfortable and then again let out a moan.

He returned kissing my vulva and inserted another finger inside me. Napakapit ang isang kamay ko sa bedsheet habang ang isa ay nanatili sa kanyang buhok. Mabilis ang pag-angat-baba ng dibdib kong kumikintab sa pawis.

Halos mamilipit ako nang alisin niya ang daliri sa loob ko pero agad ding napaliyad muli nang ang dila niya naman ang ipinasok sa akin. He thrust his tongue in as hot liquid started to pour out from me.

"Echo... Echo..." Kinagat ko ang aking labi. "Shit... ano ba 'yan..."

I freed my hands from the grip on the duvet and his hair. He was still licking and cleaning me using his divine tongue and I couldn't help but to keep on releasing soft moans. Nanlalatang bumagsak ang mga braso at hita ko sa kama.

One swipe of his tongue and he murmured, "Happy birthday, babe."

Muli siyang umangat para halikan ako sa dibdib, balikat, at leeg. Pinatakan niya ako ng halik sa labi at nalasahan ko pa ang sariling tamis sa kanya. Hinawakan ko ang kaliwang dibdib niya at nadama roon ang nagwawalang puso niya.

"Kinakabahan ka?"

He chuckled. "Bakit ako kakabahan?"

"Because you're heart is beating crazily."

He pressed his lips together and a smirk appeared. "That's because I'm making love with the woman I adore so much..."

Inilapat niya rin ang kanyang kamay sa kaliwa kong dibdib. "Ikaw? Bakit ang bilis ng t***k nito?"

"That's because I'm making love with the father of my future baby..."

Kumislap ang mata niya at napaawang ang labi. Ngumiti ako at bahagyang inangat ang ulo para halikan siya sa gilid ng labi. I really love how he'd always look startled whenever I say cheesy lines on him.

Kinagat niya ang labi at saglit na tumingin sa gilid bago ibinalik sa akin ang mga mata at muli na naman akong hinalikan sa labi.

"Kairita, pa-fall ka masyado," nangingiting saad niya at walang babalang ipinasok ang kanyang anaconda sa akin.

"Ouch!" Hinampas ko siya sa balikat habang nakangiwi.

"Oh, s**t. Sorry! Na-excite tuloy ako, tangina!"

Gumalaw siyang muli kaya napahawak ako sa braso niya at mariing pinisil iyon.

"Ang sakit, Echo!" Bahagya akong napagalaw pero mas lalo ko lang naramdaman ang hapdi.

"f**k!" He pinned my hips on the bed. "Don't move!"

Ngumuso ako at pinigilang gumalaw.

"Don't pout!" parang galit pa niyang sambit.

Kinagat ko ang aking labi nang sinubukan niyang gumalaw muli. My gosh, when will this pain go away?

"Don't bite your lip. Damn it, Eona!"

"Ano ba? Do you want me to go stiff as you move?"

"Shut up, babe. I'll move now." Nakaigting ang panga niya nang muling pumasok sa akin.

Napahiyaw ako nang diniretso niya ang pagpasok sa akin. Mangiyak-ngiyak akong ibinaon ang kuko sa balat niya sa braso. He bent down to touch my lips with his as he slid his hand to my c**t, rubbing it with his slender fingers.

"Sorry, sorry," bulong niya habang hinahalikan ako. "Push me if you want me to stop..."

Umiling ako at ginalaw ang balakang. He groaned and pulled my hips down to settled on its place before he continued to shove in and pull out his anaconda slowly.

The pain went away as he gradually moved. I encircled my arms on his neck and moaned lustily. The combination of his hands on my boob and c**t, the kisses on my neck and shoulder, and him inside me made me deliriously shaking in pleasure.

Pabilis nang pabilis ang galaw niya at hinayaan niya na rin akong sabayan iyon sa pamamagitan ng pag-angat ng balakang ko para salubungin siya. There was something building up inside me for the second time until I came.

Hindi siya tumigil sa pagbayo hanggang sa tuluyan niya nang naibagsak ang katawan sa akin at isinubsob ang mukha sa aking leeg. His body shuddered and I felt his hot semen filled me in.

"I love you..."

"Mabubuntis na ba ako no'n?" I asked silently.

"Hindi pa. Isa pa... para sigurado."

His chest vibrated on mine. I blew out a sigh and had no choice when he started romancing me again.

I can't remember how many times he had came inside me. Siya pa ang mas napagod sa aming dalawa dahil nagulat na lang ako nang gumulong siya mula sa ibabaw ko patungo sa tabi ko, nakapikit at mahinang humihilik.

Ngumiti ako at hinawi ang buhok niyang nakadikit sa noo. He looked so peaceful and tamed when he's asleep. Umupo ako sa kama at kahit mahapdi pa ang maselang parte ng katawan ay inayos ko ang duvet sa ibabaw niya para matakpan ang kahubadan niya.

Pinulot ko ang aking underwear at sinuot iyon bago sinunod ang dress. Sinuklay ko ang buhok gamit ang daliri at kinuha ang sling bag na dala ko kanina. Dinampot ko na rin ang mga damit ni Echo bago itinupi iyon at ipinatong sa gilid ng kama.

I stared at him for few minutes before planting a kiss on his forehead. A tear rolled down my cheek.

"Thank you, Echo... and goodbye..."
