LOST: CHAPTER 14

Bumalik na rin sa dati ang lahat. Kahit papano'y hindi na naulit ang paglubog ng isla. At hinihiling na sana'y hindi na ito maulit. Hindi rin nila tiyak kung kailan ulit lulubog ang isla pero kung mangyari man ito ulit, alam nilang kasama nila ang isa't isa para harapin ulit ito.

Hindi na matukoy ni Cyan kung ilang araw na sila ni Red sa isla. Kagaya pa rin ng nakasanayan nila, prutas at buko ang panlaban sa gutom o di kaya'y isda na mahuhuli sa dagat o batis. Masaya silang dalawa. Konteto sila sa ganoong klase nang pamumuhay.

Walang internet, magandang damit, air conditioned na kwarto o masasarap na pagkain na dating nakasanayan ni Cyan. Pero alam niyang natutuwa siya sa payak na pamumuhay gayong si Red naman ang kasama niya.

Inayos at pinaganda nila ang kanilang kastilyo na nasira mula nang bumagsak ang isla. Ang dating tree house na gawa sa weaved na dahon ng niyog at mga sanga ay mas pinaganda pa nila. Inadornohan nila ng mga vines iyon at mga bulaklak. Pero ang mahalaga ay magkatabi sila sa pagtulog, magkayakap at kapwa nilalabanan ang malamig na gabi.

Nasa baybayin sila, maraming bituin nang gabing iyon. Magkatabi nila sila ni Red at kapwa busog sa inihaw na tilapiang nahuli niya mismo. Nakasandal ang ulo niya sa balikat nito at malambing na humihimig.

"Cy..."

"Yes?" Tugon niyang hindi ito tinitignan.

"I forgot everything, right? I just want to hear from you some tale of stars,"

Tinignan niya ito. "Since when you became interested with stars?" He said with a chuckle.

"Just now. I dunno, maybe I'm an astrologer only I forgot everything," komento pa nito.

"Sabagay, pero astrologer talaga ha," Cyan rummage information in his brain about the things he learned about stars. But it seems he forgotten like amnesiac. "Ah, eto nalang..." He said as he remembered something. "So ganito yan, nakalimutan ko na ang mga natutunan ko about stars. Gosh! Fine arts kasi kurso ko..." Natatawang panimula niya. "But I've known a family that has used names of stars."

"Wow! As in?" Amazement flooded Red.

"Yes. So the story goes like this..." He started sophisticatedly. "This guy named Orion Austria married a fine-looking woman named Stella. Kung babasehan ang mga bituin, ang Orion ay pangalan ng isang constellation. At ang pangalang Stella ay ang ibig sabihin 'stars'. Nang magkaanak sila, lalake yun. Pinangalanan ni Orion ang anak niyang Betelgeuse. Sumunod, lalake din, the name of his second child Rigel. The third, is a girl and it was named Bellatrix. Then a year or so, Stella gave a birth to a triplets." Natawa siya sa reaction ni Red sa triplets. "Oo, triplets, they named them Mintaka, Alnilam and Alnitak. Mintaka is a girl and the other were guys."

"Weird names," narinig niyang wika nito.

"Tapos nun, nanganak ulit si Stella ng isa pang lalake, they named it Saiph."

"Yun na 'yon?" Red said out of confusion. "Asan mo naman nalaman ang iistoryang iyan?"

"Simply because my mom is Bellatrix and Orion is my late grandfather,"

"Woah! Really?" Manghang wika nito. "Ito yung lolo mo na kasama mo sa Japan?"

"Yes. And I missed him so bad. Did you know, the funny thing here is that the Orion constellation has 7 stars. Its names were, Betelgeuse, Rigel, Bellatrix, the Tres Marias or the Orion's belt: Mintaka, Alnilam and Alnitak, and the last star is Saiph."

Amusement filled Red's eyes. "So ano 'yon, sinadya niyang buntisin si Stella ng pitong anak para maging katulad ng pangalan ng mga stars sa constellation?"

"No, because what happened is that Orion Austria doesn't know at first that he's name is a constellation's name. Besides he named his eldest Betelgeuse because it was his wife's favorite star. Then Rigel was named out of techinal error made by the nurse on duty. It should be Nigel, after Orion's favorite novel written by Arthur Conan Doyle. Tapos si Bellatrix naman, ay nakita nilang pangalan sa isang Baby Names book.

"Sa triplets naman, akala ng mga magulang ni Orion na babae ang tatlo kaya tinawag nila itong Tres Marias. Kaso hindi, kaya nagisip ng ibang pangalan si Orion. Tapos yung nurse on duty naman ay magaling sa stars. Sinuggest niya dito na since Orion naman daw ang pangalan niya, tapos triplets pa, why not ipangalan sa tatlo ang pangalan ng nasa Orion's belt. Then Orion discovered na ang tatlo niya pang anak ay napangalanan pala niya base sa order din ng stars ng constellation na Orion. Kaya nung huli nilang baby, which was a miracle one, pinangalanan na nila itong Saiph na last star sa Orion."

"Wow, just wow." Manghang manghang wika nito.

"That's what you call fate."

"So are we," napatingin siya dito. "We are fated for each other. Sa dami ba namang tao sa barkong lumubog, bakit tayong dalawa lang ang nandito? Kung marami ang nakaligtas, edi sana marami din tayo dito. Pero hindi eh, the island must've lead our hearts to this paradise." Ayan na naman ang puso ni Cyan. Hindi niya alam kung bakit ang mga sinasabi ni Red ay nagpapalakas nang husto ng tibok sa kaniyang puso.

"I believe we are." Madamdaming wika ni Cyan.

"Asan naman galing ang pangalan mo?" Biglang tanong nito.

"I really don't know where she got the inspiration for my name. All know is that Cyan is a color. Combination of some primary colors. Ewan." Kibit-balikat niyang tugon dito. Biglang lumawak ang ngiti ni Red na tila nagpang-abot hanggang tengga, ang mga mata nito ay naging hugis bahaghari.

"See? Our names seems fated." Excited na wika nito.

"Oo. Kung Red lang talaga ang pangalan mo." natatawang banat niya.

"Eh. Malay mo." Napangusong wika nito. Nabigla siya nang niyakap siya nito bigla.

"Ah, Red maiba tayo...I just remembered, one time kasi nanaginip ako. Nasa madilim na lugar daw ako, tapos nung makita ko na ang labasan, I saw total mess outside. Puro kaguluhan. Then someone approached me, but I don't know him. Tapos may bumaril sa kaniya."

"Wow! Ang tindi! Pwede nang action scene!" Pabirong turan nito.

"Baliw. Pero sa tingin mo, anong kahulugan 'non?"

Red let out a grudge. "`Wag mo nang pakialaman ang panaginip na yan. Alalahanin mo ako, dahil mas may kahulugan ako kesa 'don!" Natawa siya sa sinabi nito. Napatingin siya sa mga mata ni Red—nangungusap iyun at puno ng pagnanasa.

Red tilted his head and reached for his lips. As their lips met it moved passionately, burning with desire and love. Cyan just follow, as always, his knees weakened and heart floats.

Cyan laid his back at the sand while Red topped him. "I love you, Cy..." Then kissed him again. The kiss became wild making Cyan gone mad. This guy is a total must-have.

"I love you too, Red." He replied in between a kiss.

His heart beats fast as if some horses pay a running spree. Nagpaubaya na si Cyan. Red undressed him, he arched his body from so much drive it brought him. He let Red explore every inch of his body, all he can do is moan in ecstasy. Red's lips travelled his figure, and his hands moved exploring his youthful body as if there's no tomorrow. Asking for more. Craving for real.

They're both naked. The sand at their back, stars as their roof, the breeze as their cover, the bonfire as a blanket of warmth and the island as their only witness.

"Let me do this, Cy..." Red asked him with burning passion in his very eyes. Cyan just manage to moan in response for Red's wild request. "I'll be gentle. I'll be mild but if you ask me to get wild, just say so, Cy."

"What if it's..." Cyan said, worried. Seeing how gifted Red has made him gone mad and wild or something in between.

"No, just relax." Red replied. Assuring him.

"O-okay...just do it," Cyan replied in between his moans.

As Red started to enter him, the whole island heard the echoes of Cyan's pain of pleasure. He's crying for the physical pain but also for the emotional pleasure it brings. His fingernails nailed the back of his hero adding some kind of drive to make it faster yet controlled. Red moved softly and make him gone crazy.

Cyan under Red's embrace brought him to heaven. Under his arms is like locked up in a good place. Every move is a step to heaven. Every moan adds desire to thrust more. Every kiss gives urge not to stop. Every entrance adds flame in this burning fire.

He barely breathe yet the moment gave him life. All he did is to bite his lip, depriving himself to make noise as if someone would caught them. Grasping the sand to ease the pain of his first, but it always slip in his hands. Moaning softly as Red do him.

Red stopped for a while. Looking at Cyan's teary, shining eyes. "I don't know if it's because I'm huge or it's just your first...but I'm crazy with it, Cy. I'm lost with you," Red giggled.

Cyan gave him a warm smile and bit his lower lip. "It's because you're the first. And this is my first." Cyan said, smiling.

Red's eyes widened. "H-how about, Sk—"

"Skyrus? All we did was kissing and hugging or snogging and cuddling. He don't want to do it with me because I'm too young that time," Cyan revealed.

"W-wha-how?" Red can't believe it. "Akala ko..."

Cyan just managed to giggle. Red is wearing a cute reaction knowing his stance. "Tandaan mo, maraming namamatay sa maling akala."

"Oh men! I'll make love to you 'till dawn." He said greedily. They let out a soft laugh then Red continued to make him crave for more.

And the rest is history.
