Isang mainit na kamay ang pumalupot sa bewang ko mula sa likod, hugging me from the back. Humilig ako sa kanya habang pinagmamasdan ang bahay sa unahan namin.“Papatayuan natin yan ng rest house. Something we can visit when we want to get away from the city,” bulong ni Darius.I smiled at his plan. Kinalas ko ang pagkakayakap niya para makaharap ako sa kanya.Gabi na, tanging ang buwan at iilang ilaw sa paligid ang nagsisilbing liwanag namin, pero kita ko ang saya sa mata niya. There was a ghost of a smile on his face as he told me his plans.“When we have children, it's good for them to experience living in an environment like this. Hindi lang city life,” he continued. He was gently caressing my waist, drowned in his bubble of thoughts about our future.I stared at him. Wala pa kaming anak pero parang may nakikita na siyang mga anak namin sa isip niya as he formulated his plans.I smiled at him lovingly.“Darius,” I called him almost in a whisper.“We would be swimming with our child

Yong inaasahan ko na matutulog kami kaya ako nag-aapply ng pang-night routine ay hindi nangyari. Darius was staring at me so hot that we found ourselves in our bed, naked!“Darius, I thought we’re going on a honeymoon? Ano… dito na lang?” I asked with my half-lidded eyes.He chuckled, his eyes never leaving my body. His gaze was filled with a burning desire. Pumikit ako nang maramdaman kong hinaplos niya ang hita ko.“Bakit, Jessica? Ayaw mo ba?” marahan niyang tanong habang gumagapang na sa ibabaw ko. I could feel his warmth on my body.Nilagay ko ang dalawang kamay ko sa batok niya nang nasa taas ko na siya. He parted my legs as he settled between them. Naramdaman ko agad ang panlalaki niyang sumasagi sa gitna ko.I moaned. My center was already throbbing from his touch. I was already so wet down there—kanina pa noong nasa bathroom kami.Umawang ang labi ko nang halikan niya ako. He sucked my lips before he deepened the kiss. His tongue flicked inside my mouth, tasting every corner.

Matapos ng kasal namin, nag-decide kami na manatili ng ilang araw sa isla. Darius asked me if I wanted to go outside the country for our honeymoon pero sinabi kong dito na sa isla. I've been to different places, and still, this island holds a special place in my heart.This is where we started. It's not that bad if I choose this as our honeymoon place. Hindi naman siya umangal dahil kahit siya ay gusto rin naman niya.Nasa dagat kami ngayon, naliligo. It's around 4 in the afternoon kaya hindi masakit ang araw. From diving below, umahon ako. I took a deep breath as my head surfaced. Nakaharap ako sa bahay namin.I smiled when I remembered our plan. Ipapagawa naming rest house ang lumang bahay. Wala pa man, alam ko nang magiging favorite rest house namin 'to. We will bring our future children here.Bumaling ako sa likod para hanapin si Darius. Kanina pa kami sumisid pero hindi pa siya umaahon. Kinabahan ako nang makita kong kalmado ang dagat. Walang bakas na may naliligo kasama ko.“Dar

Two weeks have passed. Hindi na kami umalis ng ibang bansa. We had our honeymoon sa San Pedro at sapat na sa akin yon.Pero dahil two weeks na rin ang lumipas simula ng kasal namin, dumating na si Mama sa Manila. Kakalanding lang nila sa NAIA, alam ko na dahil ako ang unang tinawagan ni Claire.She thought I was excited to see them arrive, na baka daw gusto ko silang salubungin sa airport. I was cuddling with Darius, I won't be excited to see them!Darius chuckled after the call. “Maybe they're the ones who wanted to see you,” bulong niya.Tumawa ako. “Paano yan? Ayaw kong umalis sa kandungan mo?”“Well then, they won't see you now.”Dalawang araw matapos dumating ni Mama bago niya ako binulabog ng tawag. Hindi ko alam kung galit siya o gulat. Maybe both.“Ano tong sinabi sa akin ng papa mo? Kasal ka na? Kay Darius?” She sounded hysterical.“Mama, kalma.”“Anong kalma? Kakarating ko lang at heto agad ang malalaman ko? Na kasal ka na?”Kaya naghahanda kami ngayon para pumunta sa bahay.

Life is really unpredictable. Hindi mo alam kung ano ba ang mangyayari sa future. Kahit sinasabi mong may plano ka, there's a chance na hindi mo matutupad ang plano mo dahil may nakatadhana na para sa’yo.Days after naming bumisita kina mama para ibalita sa kanila na kasal na ako kay Darius, nalaman nina Tita Savannah at Tita Heather ang tungkol doon. Which means nalaman din nina Claire at Danielle.Hindi makapaniwala sina Tita Savannah. Oo, alam nila ang nangyari sa amin dati ni Darius. Pero nang malaman nila na anak ni Tita Vivienne si Darius, hindi na sila nag-isip na magkakabalikan pa kami. Kasi alam nila kung gaano kagalit si Vivienne sa kanila.Kaya nang malaman nila na ikinasal kami, halos hindi sila makapaniwala. It was so unexpected. No one thought of it. Kahit ako, hindi ko na inisip na magkakabalikan pa kami.Hindi ako tinigilan nina Claire hanggang hindi sila nakakabisita. Kaya narito sila ngayon sa penthouse.Mama together with Tita Savannah at Tita Heather are here. Clai

Darius Etienne Rochefort“Darius, hindi lang siya ang babae sa mundo! Why are you doing this to yourself!” galit na galit na tanong ni mama.I was miserably sitting on my bed. Saan ako nagkulang? I was barely surviving from all the responsibilities pero isa pa ’to! Why the fuck did she break up with me?I looked at my mother sharply. Angry that she wanted another girl over Jessica. Kasi hindi ko makita ang sarili ko sa iba.“Hindi lahat ng ibang babae ay si Jessica so don’t ever say that to me!” I snapped.Natahimik si mama. I know I shouldn’t be raising my voice at her. Pero ayaw niyang umalis. I’ve been telling her to leave me alone but she wouldn’t listen! And I’m so damn mad at Jessica for leaving me!I started ditching meetings and important events. The company started to lose profit. Kinailangan ni Devina na mag-step up. She was so stressed that she eventually told me—kaya nakipaghiwalay si Jessica dahil sa away ni mama at ng mama niya.That day, I left them. I needed to, or I’d
