Chapter 11

Tahimik ang buong unit ni Blare. Kendrick is now in his school while Mikkadaise is busy thinking of nothing while sitting in the sofa. Gusto niyang matulog dahil pagod at puyat siya kagabi pero ayaw ng kaniyang sistema. Speaking of what happened last night, damn she can't help but to feel blush. Nakakahiya man aminin but she did enjoyed last night.

Eight long years na pala 'mula nung huli niyang nararamdaman ang komportableng pakiramdam. She shook her head, ensakto namang bumukas ang pinto. Agad siyang napatingin sa taong nasa isipan Niya sa nagdaang minuto. Well, what she expect sila lang namang tatlo ni Blare at Kendrick ang tao dito.

"Hi." Blare greeted while walking towards her. Natataranta siya bigla. She suddenly become conscious of what she look like. Hindi pa niya kayang makipagtitigan dito ng matagal. Everytime she tried to, bumalik sa kaniyang alaala ang kaganapan noong nakaraang gabi.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Napaigtad pa si Mikkadaise sa pagtapik ni Blare sa kaniyang braso. Napapasong napalayo siya sa lalaki. Kulang na Lang kumanta siya ng, tukso o layuan mo ako...

Argh. What is she thinking again.

"May problema ba tayo?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Blare, pilit na hinuhuli ang tingin ni Mikkadaise.

"A-ano, Wala. Gusto ko lang magpahinga, napagod ako kagab—" She stop upon realizing what she just said. Pasimple niyang pinagalitan ang sarili sa kaniyang utak dahil sa halong hiya at inis.

Mas lalo pang namula ang kaniyang mukha dahil sa nagbabadyang ngisi  sa labi ng lalaki . That arrogant sexy beast!

He then faked his cough. "Okay, I understand."

Humakbang ito papalapit sa kaniya dahilan kung siya napaatras until she realized na napasandal na siya sa  isang malamig na pader. She bit her lip in nervousness.

His elbows corners her. She pushed him, but not enough para magpatinag ito. Hindi niya rin alam kung bakit nawalan na siya ng lakas para itulak ito.

"Ahmm... Lumayo ka nga ng konti."

"Why I am making you uncomfortable?"

She rolled her eyes secretly. Damn. Tinatanong pa ba iyon. Isn't it damn obvious. Halos pinipigilan niya na nga pati paghinga niya dahil sa hindi maintindihan kabang nangingibabaw.

Hinuli ni Blare ang kaniyang mga mata. "But you were screaming last night." Nanlaki ang kaniyang mga mara pati na rin ang butas sa kaniyang ilong. "Remember when I lick your pussy, you were asking for more. You even wrap your legs around my neck—"

"Teka Teka!"

She accidentally raised her voice that made him stop in surprised. Ginamit naman itong pagkakataon ni Mikkadaise upang makawala Kay Blare.  Pero saglit lang ang gulat na reaksyon ng lalaki at agad napalitan ng mapaglarong ngiti.

"What?" He even raised his brow as if enjoy na enjoy ito sa naging reaksyon niya.

"Wag mo nga akong ma what what jan! Kanina ka pa a."

"Bakit? Ano bang ginawa ko?"

Sinubukan nitong lumapit muli sa kaniya. But this time, naging alerto na siya. She secured that there is enough space for them. Pansin niya kaseng hindi siya makakapag isip ng maayos pag masyadong malapit sila sa isa't-isa.

What happened to them was fun. But it was also wrong. Very wrong and its her fault for giving in. Pero nangyari na, the right thing to do is to not letting it happen again.

"Let's talk."

"If you want us to talk," she emphasize every word. "Let's maintain space."

He sigh. "Okay. Talk it is."

She calm herself first before visualizing everything she supposed to say. Dapat lahat ng gusto niya, masabi niya. This is her only chance, she guess.

"First things' first, walang namamagitan sa'tin, kaya't ang nangyari kagabi, let's just forget about it."

"Ah huh." Napailing si Mikkadaise dahil halatang hindi naman ito nakikinig sa kaniya.

"Secondly, yes, you look exactly like War and yes, I sometimes see him in you. But I already accepted the differences between you two. Ibang tao ka, ibang tao siya. Kung may hindi may nagawa man ako na hindi mo nagustuhan or whatever, sorry for that. Hindi ko sinasadya at tsaka ewan ko lang kung may pake ka o wala dahil wala naman akong mahalagang papel jan sa buhay mo. And lastly, I don't want to become a mistress kaya let's be casual. For sure alam mo namang naghahanap ka lang ng taong mapaglalabasan mo ng init ng katawan, 'd ba?, So just treat it like a one night..."

"W-wait, what mistress are you talking about?"

She breathe in pure frustration. Like what the heck, tanggap niya naman na pumatol siya sa isang taong hindi niya lubusang nakikilala at nagpadala siya sa bugso ng damdamin.

"Blare, ayokong makipaglaruan sayo, kaya pwede ba, stop playing games with me. You have already succeeded getting in my pants. What else do you want, huh? If you want to fuck again again, sinasabi ko sayo, I. CAN'T. MAKE. ANOTHER. MISTAKE."

And then the next thing happened was like in the movie. Tila naging blurred ang paligid. Wala siyang ibang nakikita 'kundi si Blare lang. No.

He just smashed his lips into hers and she cannot even move in protest. Nastatwa siya, napako sa kinatatayuan. And Blare used it as an opportunity to move his lips in forceful movement making her gasped in surprise. He insert his tongue inside her mouth.

Mikkadaise then wake up in reality, she finally has the guts to stop him, to push him really hard. And when she succeeded, sinampal niya ito. Maliit lang ang kaniyang kamay pero sinigurado niyang malakas ang tama ng kaniyang sampal. Saksi ang pamumula  sa kaliwang bahagi ng pisngi nito.

"Ano bang ayoko ang hindi mo magets?! How many times do I need to tell you that I cannot make another mistake! If you think I'm this easy dahil lang pumayag ako sa set-up na to, then I'll tell I have no other choice. And for goodness' sake, you're a married man, may anak ka na!"

"Damn! When will you allow me to talk? Hanggang kailan mo papaniwalain ang sarili mo sa maling akalang yan. Yes, I have a son, but have you even thought that I'm not a married man, p*tang'na,"

He sounds so frustrated, brushing his fingers in his hair. His face is now turning red.

"Hindi lahat ng may anak, may asawa." He tighten his grip, binigyang diin ang bawat salitang lumabas sa bibig nito.

"And Kendrick is not my own son."

Hindi maipinta ang mukha ni Mikkadaise. Is this another make up stories? But why would he do that.

"A-ano?'' She fight hard not to stuttered kahit nanginginig siya sa kaalamang iyon.

"He's not your son?"

She just wanted to make sure. Why? Aba malay n'ya din. She really sometimes cannot understand her own judgement.

Blare sigh. He has this characteristic of being secretive- well, bakit niya naman ikukwento sa ibang tao ang nangyari sa buhay niya. That is totally absurd.

Pero iba pakiramdam niya ngayon. Totally opposite sa Kung ano man siya. He has this feeling of not wanting to lie. Like what the heck, lie is different from not telling, di ba.

"I already told you."

He focused his eyes into hers, inaabangan ang bawat naging reaksyon nito. Mikkadaise then look at him with the same ferocity. Sinalubong ang bawat misteryosong titig nito.

Why is she acting this way, anyway. Why is she so affected for this fact that Kendrick is not Blares' flesh. Makikita naman talaga ang pag-aalaga  at pag-aalala nito sa bata.

Or maybe that's not that way. Maybe it's the other way around. Masaya siya sa kaalamang hindi siya pumatol sa isang taong may asawa na. Blare is free, right.

Napalunok siya sa sariling laway dahil don, ignoring the second thought of hers.

"P-p'anong..."

"What?"

"P'anong may pagkahawig kayong dalawa?"

"Siguro dahil 'yon sa palagi kaming nagkakasama?" He looks confuse. And she seems also not bite it.

"K fine. Let's put in this way." He breathe at tumingin sa kaniya gamit ang pag-alinlangang titig. "It's a long story." He then faked a smile. Umiling lang si Mikkadaise. Ano pa nga ba ang aasahan niya dito. And besides, bakit nga ba niya ipipilit ang isang kwentong walang kinalaman sa kaniya.

"Damn. Fine."

Blare then raised his hands in air as a sign of defeat and course a lot of times. He doesn't know why he can't bear to keep a secret from her. Tsk. The heck is really wrong with him.

"Someone is obsessed with my friend, Xander. Lahat ng bagay ginawa nito para mapunta sa kaniya si Xander that includes evil deeds."

"Mitchell kidnapped Kendrick when he was still an infant at pinakilalang anak ni Xander. Sa ganitong paraan, masisira niya ang relasyon ni Xander and Shamara. Then she succeeded. Don pumasok sa ekesena ang kapatid ko, si Blaze. Well, you know him, right."

Mikkadaise just nodded.

"Blaze happened and he's badly inlove with Shamara. And we thought titigil na si Mitchell because finally, Xander is all hers. But turns out that Mitchell  is not really into Xander but with my brother, Blaze. Ginamit lang niya si Xander to hurt Shamara because in that way, mas lalo niyang masasaktan ang kapatid ko. Mitchell wantes revenge dahil hindi siya kayang mahalin ng kapatid ko. Well matagal na kaseng gusto ni Blaze si Sham but he's coward, you know."

"But in the end, Mitchell sacrificed her life for my brother, and as return we promised to take care of Kendrick."

Blare drink a glass of water, medyo mahaba nga kaniyang kwento, well, you can also check it out the story of Blaze and Shamara, 'Until Forever'.

Mikkadaise, then sum up everything in her head. But one thing that she did understand.

"Sino ang mga magulang ni Kendrick?"
