Lyra’s POV

Hindi ko inaasahan na makikita ko si Caleb sa loob ng silid ko pagkalabas ko ng banyo. Agad kong naramdaman ang bigat ng tingin niya sa akin, na tila naglalagay ng apoy sa bawat hibla ng aking balat. Sa bawat galaw niya, ang dugo ko ay parang kumulo sa init ng kanyang presensya.

Isang araw lamang ang lumipas ng muling may mangyari sa amin, ngunit narito na naman kami, magkasama sa maliit na espasyo ng banyo, parehong sabik, parehong nawawala sa kontrol.

Ang bawat haplos niya sa balat ko ay nagdudulot ng kuryente na tumatagos sa kaibuturan ko. Ang kanyang mga labi, dahan-dahang dumampi sa aking leeg, sa aking balikat, ay parang apoy na sumusunog sa lahat ng depensang inilatag ko.

Hindi namin kayang itanggi ang aming pagnanasa. Ang init ng aming katawan na magkadikit, ang bawat halik, bawat dampi ng kamay niya sa akin, ay nagpapalakas ng damdamin na bawal ngunit labis naming inaasam.

Para kaming dalawang apoy na nagtagpo sa gitna ng dilim, at sa bawat sandali, mas

    Lyra’s POVMabilis lumipas ang mga linggo, at bago ko pa namalayan, ilang buwan na ang nakalipas mula nang magkaayos kami ni Caleb.Ang bawat araw ay may sariling ritmo. Hindi na madilim, hindi na puno ng pangungulila. May halong katiyakan at katahimikan isang bagay na matagal ko ring hinahanap.Malaki na ang tiyan ko ngayon. Halos ramdam ko ang bawat galaw ng baby sa loob. Minsan malakas, minsan banayad lang, pero palagi ko siyang nararamdaman.Palaging nasa tabi ko si Caleb para alalayan ako. Minsan, habang nakaupo kami sa sofa, nakapatong lang ang kamay niya sa tiyan ko. Sa bawat sipa ng baby namin, hindi ko maiwasang mapangiti.Si Liam naman ay may sarili na niyang kwarto. Minsan lang siya dumalaw sa silid namin karaniwan kapag gusto lang niyang maramdaman ang kapatid niyang nasa loob pa ng tiyan ko. Masaya akong makita siyang nag-iisip at natututo sa sarili niyang mundo, habang kami ni Caleb ay unti-unting umaangkop sa bagong yugto ng pamilya.Isang hapon, habang nakaupo ako sa v

  • WHEN DESIRE BECOMES A SIN    Chapter 80

    Caleb’s POV Nagising ako bago pa sumikat ang araw, gaya ng nakasanayan ko mula nang bumalik ang mag-ina ko. Hindi na ito dahil sa trabaho o obligasyon kundi dahil sa takot. Tahimik na takot na baka sa isang iglap, paggising ko wala na naman sila. Ang bahay ay tahimik, pero hindi ibig na walang tao dahil may mga kasambahay akong sanay gumalaw nang hindi naririnig, may private chef na naghahanda ng almusal sa ibaba, may seguridad sa labas na palaging alerto. Pero kahit gaano pa kaayos ang lahat sa paligid ko, may bahagi sa akin na hindi kailanman naging payapa simula noong umalis ang mag-ina ko. Limang taon akong naghanap. Sa bawat lungsod na may kahit katiting na posibilidad, sa bawat pangalan na maaaring ginamit niya, sa bawat bakas na inakalang kanya sinundan ko. Ginamit ko ang lahat ng kaya kong gamitin pera, impluwensya, koneksyon, mga taong sanay maghukay ng katotohanan. May mga pagkakataong halos abot-kamay ko na siya, pero palaging nauuwi sa wala. Parang sinadya

  • WHEN DESIRE BECOMES A SIN    Chapter 79

    Lyra’s POVPregnancy has a way of changing everything, even when life already feels full. This one came quietly, subtly, but its presence is constant. It’s not overwhelming, just… there, gently shaping every day.Caleb has been different too. Protective, yes, more than I ever remember him being before. I can’t really blame him. After everything the years we spent apart, the time I spent raising Liam without him, the distance, the secrets he’s cautious. He watches every small movement I make, making sure I’m safe. Sometimes it’s a bit much, but mostly, it’s comforting.“Lyra, slow down. Here, let me take that,” he said one morning, reaching for my bag as we walked to the car.“I’m fine,” I said, smiling.“I know,” he said quietly. “But I just… want to make sure you’re okay.”I sighed softly, letting him do it. It’s not controlling. It’s just love. Fierce, steady, protective love the kind that comes after loss and longing, after time apart, after realizing what matters most.Even the l

    Caleb’s POV Pregnancy didn’t announce itself loudly in our home. It arrived the way everything meaningful had between us quietly, patiently, threading itself into our days until it felt like it had always belonged there. Lyra moved more carefully now. Not weak never that but deliberate. Like every step mattered. Like she was already listening to the small life growing inside her. Liam listened too. He became observant in a way that surprised me. Every morning, he’d eye Lyra’s plate. “Did you eat enough, Mama?” Every night, before bed, he’d remind her, “Doctor said you need rest.” He said it like it was his job. And maybe it was. One evening, I found him sitting on the couch beside her, his small hand resting flat against her stomach. His face was serious, focused. “What are you doing, bud?” I asked. “I’m talking to the baby,” he said without looking up. Lyra smiled softly. “He says good night every day.” I sat beside them, resting my arm along the back of the couch, wa

  • WHEN DESIRE BECOMES A SIN     Chapter 77

    Caleb’s POV Months passed after Lyra and I got married, and life slowly settled into something quieter, steadier something real. Marriage didn’t change the foundation of our family. It strengthened it. Our days were no longer measured by big events, but by routines that felt meaningful in their simplicity. Mornings with shared coffee. Evenings with Liam’s stories from school. Nights when Lyra and I talked in low voices once the house had finally gone still. May sarili na kaming ritmo bilang pamilya. Tuwing umaga, sabay kaming nagkakape ni Lyra bago ako pumasok sa opisina habang naghahanda si Liam para sa school. Tuwing gabi, sabay-sabay kaming kumakain walang cellphone, walang istorbo. Kwentuhan lang. Simpleng araw-araw na sandaling mahalaga. We were halfway through the meal. Liam was swinging his legs under the chair, humming to himself while pushing vegetables around his plate. Lyra sat across from him, watching with that patient smile she reserved only for him. “P

  • WHEN DESIRE BECOMES A SIN    Chapter 76

    Caleb’s POV Sleep didn’t come all at once. It never does after a day like that after vows spoken aloud, after hands held in front of everyone who mattered, after promises that felt heavier and lighter at the same time. I drifted in and out, aware of Lyra’s warmth against me, the steady rhythm of her breathing grounding me more surely than sleep ever could. At some point in the night, I surfaced just enough to realize where I was. Our room was wrapped in darkness, the kind that doesn’t threaten but protects. Moonlight slipped in through the curtains in thin silver lines, tracing soft shapes across the walls. Lyra was tucked against my side, her head resting where it had always belonged, her body fitting into mine with an ease that still amazed me. My arm was draped over her waist without conscious thought. Even asleep, I knew where she was. Even asleep, my body chose her. I watched her for a long moment. Her face was calm, unguarded in sleep. No smiles for anyone else, no streng
