Illegal Seduction

CHAPTER 10

LYNAIRE

Sabado ng umaga sinamahan ko si Mama sa kaniyang ginawang pagluluto. I exhale for the moment I felt the tiredness scope my body. I excused myself I'm going to my room for a moment.

Mabilis kong ibinagsak ang katawan ko at nagpagulong-gulong rito, dinampot ko ang katabing unan at pinisil iyon.

Linggo, sumabay ako kay Ashlyn sa pagpasyal sa mga kaklase nito dahil gagawa daw sila ng group project. Hindi ako nagtagal dahil sinabi sa rin niya na hinahanap na 'ko ni Mama sa bahay.

“What's this?” pagka-abot nito ng paper bag ba may laman na phone, nagtataka ko itong binalingan. Bawal akong humawak ng technical gadgets.

“A phone? Maybe?” kibit balikat nitong alintaya at tumalikod.

“Zyrene, I told you I can't hold any gadgets.” I complaint, I stumble towards her and had a scowled of her brows.

“The IP address is not the same here, if they find it—rest assured, it's not your name registered to that formed.” bigkas nito, salubong pa rin ang kilay ko ng kuhanin ko ang phone at sinindi iyon.

This will be my nth phone by this era. It orbs many application I should not be navigate on, it divulge the messages apps. Tinapon ko lang iyon sa couch at bumalik na sa silid ko.

Monday occurred and my body had washed up, my face starts to drain as I hovered my gaze next to that attire I'm going to use later. I have several time upon thinking because Renlé and the other did not passed by here for two days.

My sneakers itself are ready to be wear. I wore socks and tuck in my inner top as the tux for women have found its place to my body.

Sunod kong dinaanan ang bag ko na nasa couch lang at kinuha ang phone na pinapagamit ni Mama. Wala akong magagawa kung iyong ang gusto niya, kailangan ko rin 'to kung sakaling mawala ako o malayo sa kaniya.

Kailangan kong ipaalam kung nasaan ako, kung papaano ko inaayos ang sarili ko sa lugar na dinadaanan ng mga paa ko.

“Good Morning.”

“Morning,” bati ko pabalik para mapangiti ito at kunin ang bag ko.

“Wait,” he nodded.

Bumalik ako sa silid ko para kunin ang folder na hinanda ko, ilang araw na lang, ang trip ang magpapaabala sa 'min. May mga damit na rin akong nakahanda sa kabinet kung sakali man na matuloy.

“Ate.”

“Hi, Ashlyn. Kumusta? Si Kaizer, sinagot mona?” tipid itong ngumiti at hindi man tumango o umiling. Tinlikuran niya 'ko kasabay ng pagsabit ng bag niya sa likuran niya.

I don't want you to answer him too, Ashlyn, sorry...

“You should answer him by now, if not—there's a possibility for random girls to get him.” pinursigi ko ang sarili kong kausapin si Ashlyn tungkol sa bagay na kinaiilangan ko. Todo ang pagtango nito sa lahat ng sinasabi ko, nakangiti man ito ay parang may kulang pa rin.

Nakanguso kong tinahak ang daan patungo kay Renlé at hinalikan ito sa pisngi. He's my boyfriend now, and for tomorrow. Overmorrow is not so sure if I still need to bottle up with this system.

“Wait for me, okay? Huwag kang aalis hangga't wala pa 'ko.” pagpapaalala nito na agad kong tinanguan.

Our classmates cheered, their tongue was clasped with their ebony upon what they witnessed. Malalaking hakbang ang ginawa ko para makaupo sa naka-assigned na seats para sa 'kin at sinandal ang likod ko.

I was revolve by non-usual things after promoting to Renlé I like him. Nalilito ako kung tama ba ang ginawa ko o hindi, sana hindi na 'ko gambalain ni Kaizer.

It's twisting my chest, fancying him from afar but I couldn't have him for this early and near. I am not in exemption upon conferring punishment from the skilled and elevated person.

Dito pa lang ay kailangan magbago na ang nararamdaman ko ng sa gano'n mapadali rin ang pag-angkla ko sa mga magulang ko. Inatasan si Zyrene bilang kanilang katulong ngunit agad ring nag-retiro at bumalik sa kaniyang bansa. Sa ibang palagay, nananatiling walang alam si Ashlyn, kung sakaling malaman man niya—hindi siya magsisisi. Pero kung mahuhuli ako—kami ni Zyrene ay doon palang tapos na 'ko.

Board was intact by our lesson for tomorrow, kinopya ko iyon at walang binalingan dahil inaantok ako. Tinakpan ko ang bibig ko ng aking kamay saka humikab.

The scenario intricate me from the weave; he indulge his lips with mine is not a curse, I hate the idea I'm liking it. Kaizer is not here, if he have his guts to go school, his soul will show up here.

Makikita ko lang ang mukha nitong puno ng kadiliman, naiinis ako dahil hindi ko siya magawang itulak papalayo gaya ng inaakala ko. Dinudurog no'n ang pagiging ako dito sa bayang 'to!

“Si Kaizer.”

“Alam na mga mare, baka sinagot na ni Ashlyn 'yan.”

“A-Anong nangyari sa kaniya?”

“Anong...”

“Bakit ganiyan ang itsura niya?”

“Hindi ba maayos pa siya nitong friday lang?”

“Class, your classmate excuse his self, I'm hoping for you to shut your mouth and copy what's on the board.” malakas na isinatinig ng lecturer ang mga salitang iyon.

The seat next to me creaked, his bag threw beside mine as he heavily taken the sit and it was followed by resting his head to his arms.

Mabigat ang naging hula ng isip ko dahil sa natamo nito ngayon. Wala kaming pinag-awayan maliban sa pagbabanta nito sa 'kin tungkol sa kung ano'ng mangyayari kay Renlé.

Hour is like a horror movie to me, I dwell in my own spot, my heart beats for delusion as I grope my bag and put it on my shoulder. Diretso ang labas ko, hindi ko na ito binalingan dahil kinakabahan ako.

Kaizer, what happened to you?

Marami ang nakikipag-kuwentuhan sa kapwa nila tungkol kay Kaizer, kasama na ang panghuhula nilang baka naging girlfriend na ni Kaizer si Ashlyn.

Napamaang ako sa kinatatayuan ko matapos kong maramdaman ang pagkakasapo ng braso ng kung sino sa akin para mapa-sandal ako sa pader.

“Sorry. S-Sorry.. Are you okay?” she didn't used vague words now. Kamukha pa din ng dati, nung araw na napaso niya 'ko.

“It's okay, I need to go.” sabat ko at hinawakan ang mga kamay nitong nagtatangkang kunin ang braso ko.

Tumalikod ako at humakbang patungo sa restroom ng mga babae. I locked the door, my face mirrored me through, my face marked with haggard.

Lumunok ako at kinuha ang poweder na nasa loob ng bag ko, I applied it to my skin and briefly used toilet to pee and washed my hands after.

Afternoon lunch is such an ineffable for me to explain what's in the circle, what happened to him why he got that appearance. Tumindig ang balahibo ko ng marinig ko ang biglaang pagkatok ng kung sino.

Inayos ko ang damit ko, ang buhok ko—sinuklay ko iyon gamit ang kamay ko saka diretsong isinukbit ang bag ko sa balikat ko.

“K-Kaizer...” kinakabahan at nanlalambot ng mga tuhod kong salubong. Napapaatras ako sa bawat paghakbang nito papalapit. Mapupungay ang mga nitong tinitigan ako, nakasabit pa ang bag nito sa balikat niya ngunit ang mukha niya ay malinaw ko ng naanigan.

He closed the door and severely catch me through his eyes. It has a magic as his basis to make me froze, my fingers wriggle as my flesh crushed with squirming motion.

“You're done, baby. That's the last time I warned you, you're such a stubborn kid.” mahina at namamaos nitong sabi at agad na sinaklit ang batok ko.

My back felt the coldness of the wall, he press me more and gliding his hands to my throat. Ninanakawan ako ng hininga dahil sa pagsakal nito sa leeg ko.

“I have warned you, that's a bloodshed, baby.” he muttered, to my left ear, he traces it down to my collar.

Inilapit niya ang kaniyang mukha para mas maaninag ako sa itsura niya. His hair did not combed, his onyx color eyes convey his rave.

“Ang tigas ng ulo mo,”

His breath passed down the hill of my nose, he devour my cheeks by his small kisses and keeps on planting away from that part and goes to the tips of my lips.

Nanatiling nakahawak ang kamay nito sa leeg ko, siniil ako nito ng halik pagkarating ng mga mata sa labi ko.

He breathlessly move his lips farther from me and uphold his tips to my throat, he slid his tongue out to my lips and lick it. Nang bitawan nito ang kamay sa leeg ko, mabilis niyang ipinatong ang ulo sa balikat ko.

“I was punched,” bulong nito, nilaro-laro ang dulo ng buhok ko at humugot ng hininga.

“You keeps on ignoring me,” I wrapped his waist through my arms and smear his back in slow pace.

“I hate you, Lynaire.”

“I hate my baby...” bulong nito bago naging mahigpit ang kapit nito sa batok ko at likod ng bewang ko.

“My baby's ignoring me, it's hurting me, it's stabbing me and like a needle have simultaneously attacked my heart. Lynaire...” nanlulumong tawag nito, nahihirapan kong sinapo ang mga pisngi nito habang tinutulak ito nang marahan dahil nabibigatan na 'ko.

“What happened?” I cup his face, the tip of his lips attained damaged. His obscured face shoved away, naging malungkot ang itsura niya at parang babagsak na ito kahit na anong oras.

“They punched me, baby.” parang batang sumbong nito at muling hinagkan ang bewang ko ng kaniyang mga braso.

“They punched me because they likes you, no I punched them and they fight back.” reklamo nito.

I scrub his hair and play with it. Napasubsob ako sa leeg nito ng buhatin niya 'ko at ipatong sa cubicle. I brush his hair through my fingers, his sweat did not stopped from wriggling on its pores. I took my handkerchief off to my pockets and scratch to his forehead down to his cheeks. Until I got near to his lips with flogged, I step my hands back and remove it as I hanged it over his shoulder.

“Should I tell it to Xiber?” his eyes knitted, showing propaganda on it but due to his eyes I gulp and veer my gaze to his collar.

“Don't speak for his name, baby. I hate it, all I want is you—you; moaning, and memorizing my name.” Xiber can do anything for me, Kaizer. If I told this to him, I am sure those guys who made this to you will turn down within only a snapped of fingers.

“His name is bringing mantra, Kaizer..” bulong ko na natutuliro sa kaniyang mukha.

“I don't need anyone's help, baby especially when it's come from your fvcking fiancé.” matigas nitong lathala.

“He's kind, Xiber is one of a kind and not as what you think as off-kilter in camera.” diretsong saad ko, sinuyod ng mga braso nito ang likuran ko pababa sa hita ko.

Pulling those to his and clawed it as he deeply kiss me.

I respond to his lips, I shoved my arms towards his nape to pull myself closer to him causing him to show a smirk. Nag-umpisa ng maglakad ang kamay nito papaakyat sa loob ng damit ko.

I only knew is him caressing my waist, so much careful and less abrasive. Naramdaman ko ang pagiging kalmado nito, malayo sa kaninang itsura. Hindi na ito nagsasalita ng gano'ng bagay at mas diniin ang katawan ko sa kaniya.

“Huwag ka ng lalapit sa kaniya, ah.” malambing sa sabat nito sa pagitan ng mga labi namin.

He's my boyfriend now...

That's impossible for me to granted it.

“It's okay, my knuckles are always ready to punch.” He bite my skin from the near back of my neck, his strength losing me into his ocean fulled with his bearing lips.

Pina-una niya 'kong lumabas, nagtungo agad ako sa canteen baka naghihintay na ang mga kasamahan ko.

“Lynaire?” fragile eyes convey an alliance together range mist halted at the lids of his eyes.

“What's that?” turo nito sa bandang leeg ko para abutin ko ang kamay niya at tabunan ng buhok kung anu man ang tinutukoy niya.

My head cast an injured sigh, the expenditure of the last table next to the transparent wall gathered my attention. It blows a kind of raillery from the hook of his mouth. Napayuko ako at hindi ko na binalikan ito ng tingin.

Mabigat ang katawan kong iniupo katabi ni Jarson. Renlé is not here still, the ambiance scattered a strange silence. I surpass each of them though bricking my gaze. Blues clouded into much more delirious resilience as Jarson yawn and fawned the members to sat up before his head turn on me.

“What do you want to eat?” his tips bubbled with persiflage.

“I want chicken joy, more adobo and please choose the adobo with potato. I also want bunch of sticks illuminates with chocolates.” he groaned, he parted his eyes to me within a ceremony of his lids.

“That's enough, marami na 'yan baka mag-konbulsyon ka dito.” he flapped a words out, Jarson and Kaenard made it to order for us. I forgot to asked about Renlé.

Companion of rich on mouth person have rumoured about else topic, near to my sake. I uphold my attention to his wounded snarled lips. It delves a meaningful sense, he inflicts with the kinship of his mutual friend; Ashlyn sitting next to him.

It blurred my eyes as I detour it to our table. Couple of minutes had passed and Jarson placed my plate and the course dish for today's phases.

“Oh, ayan na may patatas 'yan ah.” singhal nito sa harapan ko at may tunog na umupo sa tabi ko.

“I wonder what kinds of being bites you?” it's who.

My face shielded with my hair. Sinadiya kong ikalat ang buhok ko sa parteng nakitaan ng pamumula ni Jarson. I toast my head up to Kaenard but he is busy peeling the shrimp.

“Uhm.. Where's Renlé?” I twitted, the abstract color has a vivid imagery of their blooming face; fancy the galore of being in perplex as their brows stretched up and kneel their eyes next to me.

“Hindi mo ba kasabay? Ang sabi kase niya susunduin ka niya at kami na ang bahala na mag-served sa puwesto.” mabilis akong napatayo at nagpaalam sa kanilang babalik ako sa kaninang room ko.

It was sounds awful when I do admit I forgot about him and the tryst. My feet continuously stepping forward, four corners with none but only things related to cleanliness smudged the base.

Nakatayo akong naghintay sa labas at umabot pa ng ilang minuto habang inaabala ang katawan ko sa paglalakad-lakad. I'm waiting him, I promised but I broke it. Kaizer's fault, that is an unmerited stuffs I crossed on the line with.

Pathway severely filled with the student's clash as it swirl around and go back to the silence. Each eyes passes on me, their hands formed a revel shaped. It sequel with their rapid steps, scurried forward to not meets me.

“Lynaire?” my back tangled with curiosity, I move into circular motion to put an end to my owned question after seeing him.

“H-Hi, did you saw Renlé?” pang-aabala ko sa kaniya.

“Renlé?”

“The guy I am always with.” his eyes rolled up, thinking so quick as if he seems saw but it didn't recognised him as well.

“Si Kaizer lang ang alam kong lagi mong kasama, Lynaire. Bukod do'n wala na 'kong alam.” he coaxed, planting a frisky stare and bounty thesis of his question upon gloaming a sounds of answer.

“Okay, salamat.”

“Oh, si Lynaire pala 'to, Lorwin.” Kelwin immediately meets me in front of our classmate; Lorwin.

“Kumusta kana, Kelwin? Sorry nga pala dahil nagbago 'yung partner natin.”

“No, I invited you first 'diba? Tsaka si Chelrie 'yon—magaling rin naman siya.” tumatangong aniya para mapasama ako.

“Why your name have ‘win’ from both last?” it mesmerised me.

“Always win, if not our parents might put it a ‘lose,’ Lorlose and Kellose, 'diba ang panget?” he persuaded. Each of our mouth packed a laugh, their nimble wit made me enjoyed the moment.

“You're twinny?” Lorwin mouthed a delicate ‘yes’ by sensing a ‘yeah’.

“Yup,” it popped a clear association for both of this twin.

“Have you ever know that if there's a twin—one of them might bad and good?” panukala ko.

“How did you know? Yeah, we're both good but I'm more elastic, rained with higher IQ than his.” Lorwin roared, I examined his lips as it cast a brightness of willingness.

“But I'm much better on shooting ball.” Kelwin shoot out.

“I'm good at writing essays.”

“I'm better at figuring one's motion,”

“I can deduct one's discrete fault,”

“I can be a top honor than usual pero tamad lang ako,”

“Eh, bakit ako? Tamad ko kagaya mo pero nasa taas pa rin.”

“Hindi ka naman varsity,”

“Because I'm scholar, a pundit.”

“Yeah, for a psychopath—you are.”

“It's for sociopath, Kelwin.”

“I don't care. I can be as an anthropology.”

“No, an opportunist.”

“You can ba as slanting bacteria, Lorwin.”

Their remarks never ends, we are straddling as all of us got caught by the supervisor of this school. I stopped and hold their arms to got it. Their mouth is slippery, it ogle each of them to fight back.

“Good Noon, Miss.”

“What section are you? Hindi niyo ba nakikitang kanina pa kayo nang-aagaw ng atensiyon.” matigas nitong wari para mapasunod ang ulo ko sa pagtingin sa mga kapwa namin eatudyanteng nanonood at ang iba ay nakatakip ng kanilang panyo.

“Our mistake, Ma'am. We sorry for that seen fault,” Lorwin vowed a words.

“Go to your room, now!”

“It's our lunch time, Ma'am. Baka kayo po muna ang mauunang pumasok sa 'min, go back to your room na po, we'll eat pa.” Kelwin subdue the revere courses between the deal together Lorwin and this supervisor.

“What's your last name? Grade and Section? I will tell to your adviser to call your parents, nawawalan ng paggalang 'yang bibig mo.” mariin akong napakapit sa braso nila.

My nail dug to their skin, the corners filled with rattled topics. It billow the degrees of hotness censored to this supervisor in front of us.

“Kelwin Macapagal, Forth year college under section B.” I quickly answer. Lorwin and Kelwin's eyes planted an ineffable emotions.

“We answered your question, Ma'am—we'll now lead.” saad ko sa kaniya at hinila na ang kambal kong kasama.

“Wait!”

“Ma'am, wala kami sa room para magpa-quiz kayo.” inis kong untag.

“What are you talking about, Miss?”

“We're done answering your curiosity, it's our time to hawked with our nest now. You're not our teacher or the assigned pundit to assess us through asking us. Nasasayang lang ang oras namin, lunch pa naman.”

“Tara na,” bulong ni Kelwin sa amin.

Students ay see what happened but we don't have the exact perception towards that discourse. We halted when Renlé called me by my name, his eyes held the genuine tips as it widen.

“Renlé.” mabilis akong bumitaw sa pagkalahawak sa mga kasama ko at tinakbo ang daan patungo sa lalaking kanina ko pa hinahanap.

“Where did you go?”

“Looking for you, I said while ago that you can't walk to anywhere but I saw your room covered with none Lynaire.”

“Let's go na, I'm with my friends too; Kelwin and Lorwin.”

Lorwin's landscape tips orate with a smile, Kelwin follow his eyes settled with floor. Yumuko ito at hinakbang ang mga paa papalapit para makisabay na sa 'min.

I lost my hands lingered with Renlé's. Natinag ako dahil sa lalim at sama ng pagkakatitig sa 'kin ni Kaizer. Ashlyn is resting, her head lean on her chair but Kaizer arranged an obscured sheets. I veer my head, my eyes seems feels his until my plate done. His hunger laces with further antipathy already cuffed me. I'm nervous, really nervous as my mind was occupied by his plans.

I'm in baffled, his lethal eyes—that onyx and growing menace scolded me to stopped admiring Renlé and let his hand go but I stick to it. Hinayaan ko siyang maglayag hanggang sa kaibuturan ko ang pagkasama ng mga tingin niya. It's affecting my future health.

I hate you, Kaizer.
