My only

3rd Person's POV

Samuel Alarcon, is nothing but a young handsome man. With constant fling and affairs, he was satisfied with the looks he had. He doesn't need to chase girls, they will drop at his feet, naked. Your typical tall, dark, handsome, chauvinist man. Although he is still in an 8-year long relationship with Anaia Torres, a slender, alluring and loving girlfriend of Samuel. For 8 long years na mag ka-live-in sila, they both know the likes and hates ng isa't-isa. Anaia, thinks that it's time for them to move their relationship to the next level, maliban sa 8 years na sila, they're both 29 years old, marrying age na kumbaga. But she can't voice out the things she wanted openly, kilala nya si Samuel na mainitin ang ulo kapag ginagawa ang ayaw na ayaw nya, ang pinangununahan sa mga desisyon nya sa mga bagay-bagay. She learned her lessons, the hard way. But what can she do? Yes she loves him, too damn much, but, aside from that, nanghihinayang sya sa 8 years na pinagsamahan nila. All the time and emotion will be wasted for nothing, kung ipipilit nya ang gusto nya, lalo na kung ang paniniwala ni Samuel is marriage is nothing but a certificate, papel lang daw yun, nasa dalawang tao pa rin naman daw yan. Kaya, all Anaia could do ay manatili sa tabi nya.

SAMUEL's POV:

"Hey darling, kakatapos ko lang ng lunch, kumain ka na ba? Don't skip meals, okay? I won't be able to answer any future calls, I will be in a meeting. Love you." pagkatext ko ay agad kong nilagay sa "airplane mode" ang aking phone para sure na walang iistorbo saken. It's a good thing na di na kami magkasama sa company ni Anaia, so she doesn't know na nag take ako ng half day today. I'm glad I can taste the new secretary, she's so damn sexy and seductive. I really don't call this cheating dahil I never loved the girls I met, I only make them happy on bed, that's it, just on bed. And besides, sila ang lumalapit saken kahit na alam na nilang may girlfriend ako. Aba, palay na ang lumalapit, edi syempre tukain na naten. I am a man after all, that's nature.

"Hey, darling let's go" sabay kapit ko sa maliit na bewang ng bagong secretary ng PR Director namen. Bawal sa office dahil alam na nila na may gf ko, kaya nakipagkita lang ako kay Ms. Sexitary malapit sa office namen.

"So, my place? or somewhere else?" she said to my ears, seductively while touching my chest.

"Anywhere you want, darling. Anywhere it is, I'll make sure to make it a heaven for you" smiling and give her big buttocks a tight squeeze, that made her moan, making me feel excited even more. I opened the passenger door sa kotse at agad na isinakay si Tara, then go back to the driver's seat. I took the liberty para ilagay ang seatbelt kay Tara, then kissed her torridly

"Can't wait to hear you scream for me baby" I said then started driving, to our temporary heaven.

After beating two red lights and doing a "lawful U-turn" nakarating din kami sa bahay ni darling, I always make sure na yan ang endearment ko, same with gf para di ako mabubuko, kailanman. After parking the car on the parking lot below her apartment.

"Can't wait to eat you up, babe." She whispered softly then licked my ears.

"Don't worry darling, I'll make sure you will be full and satisfied." I said and wink. At naglakad na kami sa lobby papunta sa staircase papuntang second floor ng apartment.

The moment the door closed, we devoured each other, list and hunger apparent on how our hands grope and touch each other. Less than five minutes, we are on her bed, naked and extremely aroused. I pushed her to bed and sit on her to make her eat me and be satisfied. Moans of pleasure were heard in the room as I thrust deeper into her mouth. I love how she doesn't have any gag reflex so she can eat me up wholeheartedly. I pinned her arms as I continue to thrust deeper and harder. A few minutes after, I got off her face and kissed her mouth, every inch of her face to her neck, kissing and licking and sucking. She wiggled her body wanted to be touched and want to touch but I made sure I won't make any contact with her while I push her hands above her head.

"Please" she moans, begging, but I made sure that I won't have any contact on her body other than my lips. And continue trailing my lips and tongue to her collarbone, to her neck and stops.

"Stop teasing," she said between her ragged breaths. Excitement is apparent in her voice and eyes.

"Patience is a virtue, my dear." I stood up and took my necktie on the floor and made it a makeshift blindfold, took her panties and made it her gag, my belt as her cuffs. When I was happy with my work, I started to pleased her.

After 2 cum from me and 12 times from her, begging for me to stop, I stood up and saw it was already time for me to get home, I can't let my girlfriend find out about my rendezvous. I kissed the girl beside me and told her I need to leave and go back to my girlfriend.

"Ugh, magpaalam ka nalang kay Anaia na magoovertime ka, I still want you." She said and hugged me.

I laugh at her and said "kaka-tap out mo nga lang eh, you already came 12 times, still not satisfied?" tanong ko sa kanya while dressing.

"No, just give me a few minutes to recharge and I'll make you tap out instead."

"I doubt darling. Besides, baka magalit girlfriend ko ng sya lang ang mag didinner, demanding pa naman yun. And the last thing I want is to hear her keep nagging me like my mother used to."

"Fine." Then she wears her rob at hinatid ako sa pintuan. She opened the door and kissed one last time.

"See you next week, I will make sure na you will be the one trapping out next time." She said and kissed me. At tinawanan ko lang sya then ready to go out until I saw Anaia, crying, in front of me.

"Oh hi Anaia, I hope you don't mind me borrowing your boyfriend for the day, right?" sabi ng katabi ko but instead of stopping or reprimanding her I just stood her and wait for Anaia's reaction. But she just run and leave.

ANAIA's POV:

After finishing my work, maaga akong uuwi para ipagluto si Samuel ng paborito nyang ulam. It's been two months since I made his favorite. A month ago kasi I found a text ng isang babae sakanya, si Samantha, isa sa mga dati kong katrabaho, with "I love you and I miss you" na pinagmulan namen ng pagtatalo. I confronted the girl, sabi nya tinikman lang naman daw nya ang boyfriend ko. Sabi naman ni Samuel na nanggugulo lang yung babae kasi di nya pinatulan, I have my doubts, for the 8 years na magkasama kami, that's not the first time na may nabasa akong ganyan, or may tumawag sa kanyang babae na malalandi. Pero nagagalit sya saken, wala daw kasi akong tiwala sa kanya, saken pa din naman daw sya nauwi at saka isa pa, yung mga babae lang naman daw ang nababasa kong nagsasabi ng I love you, wala daw I love you too. Okay naman kami pero not the same, alam ko naman na dapat pagkatiwalaan ko sya but it's hard to do it when your man can't even give you an assurance na okay lang talaga, na ikaw lang talaga. But I don't know what to do anymore. So I hope this surpise will fix things, somehow.

After kong magluto, I get into the car at pupunta ng office nya, on the way I saw him inside his car, I wanted to call him and get his attention but before I could, may nakita akong girl na lumapit sa kotse. I prayed that it was nothing until he got down at hapitin nya sa bewang ang babae. I saw them get inside the car, talking and kissing. I followed them. I don't know what to think, I just followed them, should I confront him? Slap him when I saw him. No, I should slap her then kill him. For betraying me. For hurting me like this. I didn't deserve this. No. I followed them hanggang sa apartment, I followed them, I don't know if they really just can't detect my presence dahil busy sila sa isa't-isa or they just don't care sa kahit na sinong tao sa paligid nila while walking upstairs. Pagdating sa second floor I saw them enter the room together. I waited outside. Pacing back and forth, I don't know if I should confront them or wait here. And what will I do once I confronted them. Should I just go home and pretend none of this happen? Questions keep popping on my head but seconds turned minutes then hours. It's almost six in the afternoon and I'm still here waiting, natuyo na yung luha ko sa mga mata. Wala na ding pumapasok sa isip kong tanong. Just blank. When I stood up, I made up my mind that this is the last time that I will feel an option, a plaything. Then I saw the door opened and the girl kissed him.

"See you next week, I will make sure na you will be the one trapping out next time." She said and kissed him but he just laughs and ready to go out until he saw me.

"Oh hi Anaia, I hope you don't mind me borrowing your boyfriend for the day, right?" sabi ng katabi nya but instead of stopping her, he just stood there waiting for my answer, does he wants me to say yes? I run and leave. My eyes are blurry, di ko alam na umiiyak nanaman pala ako. Akala ko ubos na luha ko. Akala ko tapos na. I ride my car at dumiretso sa bahay, packed every belongings I need. While driving tinawagan ko na yung best friend ko at sinabi na makikitulog ako sa kanila. While packing my stuff, Samuel got home.

"What are you doing, Anaia?" tanong nya habang minamasdan ang pag-iimpake ko not even stopping me. I didn't answer.

"Stop being childish Anaia, it was just a fling, I promise I won't see that girl again. Please stop. Mahihirapan ka lang magbalik nyan mamaya, di kita tutulungan sa pagliligpit." He said as he sit down. I faced him then before I knew it, my hand landed on his face, a resounding slap was heard.

"I'm leaving you." that's all I said as I continue packing my necessities.

"Babalikan ko nalang yung iba" then I went out and started driving my car to my bestfriend. I don't how but I don't feel anything siguro dahil naubos na lahat ng luha ko kanina. As I continue to drive, flashes of our history, our sweet moments replayed.

I don't know how did I get to my best friend's house ng di ako nababangga but the moment I saw my best friend, cries flows like a river from my eyes.

3RD PERSON'S POV:

Anaia live miserably for an entire month. She did nothing but work, eat and sleep. Living and breathing just for the purpose of it, she has no one, aside from her best friend, and the only man he loved and dedicates her life to, cheated and betrayed her. At first, Anaia did nothing but cry to sleep or get wasted while Samuel live with his life like nothing happened. Working, partying and flings everywhere.

As time goes by, Anaia started to heal while Samuel started to get bored and realized the mistake he made, he felt lonely and alone.

6 months passed, Anaia started to go out with friends and moved on. She started dating, going on dates. While Samuel started to feel bored on parties and alone on crowded places. He starts to feel nostalgic and lonely. He starts to reminisce and miss Anaia.

He started to stalk her again, try to contact her again. But she moved on, she no longer wanted him. She is starting to see someone else. And Samuel can't accept it. He won't accept that she is no longer his.

Samuel started going to her new apartment, staying outside until she leave for work then nagaantay sa labas ng office until she go home. At first, his ashamed of what he did kaya di sya lumalapit at nagpapakita. Nagbago ang lahat ng one day he saw her with someone, smiling, like the she used to smile at him. Samuel thinks na dapat sakanya lang nakalaan ang ngiting yun. Sakanya lang dapat ang attensyon at puso nya. So, nagisip sya ng paraan para bumalik si Anaia sakanya. By hook or by crook.

ANAIA's POV:

*Beep* agad kong tinignan ang phone ko ng marinig ko na may magtext saken, smiling, I opened the message.

"I'll see you later beautiful. Can't wait to have dinner with you. I'm glad you gave me this chance. Di ako magpropromise nang kahit ano, cause promises are made to be broken so I'll just let my actions speaks later." Lalong lumapad ang ngiti ko dahil sa text ni Anthony, I met him through some friends He was an architect and 5 years older than I am. But he was more mature than his actual age. His living alone here in Manila, yung parents nya wala na, car accident. He only have a sister na may sarili na ding pamilya sa Cebu. He already introduced me to his sister, to his friends and workmates. He always made me feel special, beautiful and hopefully he is not like him. I started working again when I heard another beep, indicating another text. Agad kong sinilip baka si Anthony kasi ulit but I was puzzled when I read the message.

"You're mine. And only mine." Agad ko itong dinelete at bumalik sa trabaho baka nantritrip lang yun. I can't wait to see Anthony later.

Hours passed, at last it's time to go home and of course, to see Anthony. Agad kong niligpit lahat ng gamit ko. At bumaba sa lobby ng office para antayin ang pagdating ni Anthony. Pag dating sa lobby agad akong naupo sa sofa ng waiting area at nilabas ang phone para itext si Anthony na andito na ko pero bago pa man ako makapagtext may kumalabit saken at

"Hey gorgeous" agad kong nilingon ang kumalabit saken at nakita ang isang bouquet of white roses na nakaharap saken at agad na lumapad ang ngiti ko. Lalo na ng makita ko si Anthony with those smiling eyes paired with his two deep dimples,smiling. Agad ko syang nilapitan at humalik sa pisngi.

"For the prettiest girl i've ever seen." sabi nya at inabot saken ang bouquet of roses. Agad kong tinanggap na may mahinang 'thank you'. I know it's not fair to compare him but I can't help it. Although I don't cry whenever I remember him or those times with him. But it still hurts. Naalala ko yung panahon na binilhan nya ako ng bouquet of flowers - my favorites, yellow daisies. Bumili sya sa first salary nya from his first work. Pinagalitan ko pa sya dahil imbes na ibili nya ng gamit sa bahay or pagkain na stock namen, mas inuna nyang bumili ng bagay na paborito ko. We've been through a lot, together we had good times and bad but we stuck together. But I don't know why he started to change. Why..

"Hey, still with me?" Anthony asked, worries laced on his tone and etched on his face. I smiled and nod and remove all the thoughts and questions on my mind.

"Yeah, naisip ko lang yung naiwan kong work. And.."

"Stop worrying about work. I will make sure that this time is dedicated for relaxation." Then he guide me out, one hand on my back and his right hand on my elbow. I know he is being a gentleman and sweet, so I just let him be hanggang sa nakarating kami sa parking lot. This is maybe the right time for me to totally let go of the past. When Anthony opened the door for me at inalalayan nya ako, one thing crossed my mind. Chance, I should give myself another chance and give Anthony his as well. Kaya bago sya makalabas agad kong hinatak ang kanyang kamay at hinalikan sa pisngi. ''Thank you''

He was dumbstruck and foolishly griining. He touch his cheek at nakatitig saken. Not knowing what to say and what to do since spur of the moment lang naman yung ginawa ko, tinamaan ulit ako ng hiya. ''Tara na!'' sabi ko nalang at nakangiti syang tumanago at pumunta sa driver's seat. Nang makaupo na sya at bago pa inilagay ang kanyang seatbelt, tumingin sya saken at hinawakan ang mga hibla ng buhok ko at iniipit sa aking tenga.

''I promise you will never regret giving me this chance. Thank you.'' tumango lang ako at naramdamang nagstart na ang kotse then naramdaman ko din ang mga kamay nya na hawak ang mga kamay ko.

1 month passed

Everything is smooth sailing, I'm glad na I've given me and Anthony a chance. For now, I don't have any regrets, although isang buwan pa lang kami, he won't stop talking about getting married to me, that Samuel never did. Maaga pa pero Anthony is planning to marry. Sabi nya someday when I'm really ready, he will be down on his knee, asking for my consent to be his lawfully wedded wife. Tinawan ko sya nung sinabi ko yun pero deep inside, I feel warm all over my heart. In what ever he do, lagi akong kasama sa plano nya. Lagi akong included sa pangarap nya, sa future nya. Whether it's a family gathering or office celebration, kailangan kasama ako, at pag kasama nya ako he will make sure his attention is on me or lagi akong nasa tabi nya. Kahit nga hang out nila ng tropa nya at magiinuman, kasama din ako, para lang daw sure na walang lalapit sakanya at para alam ng iba na we only belong to each other. If one year ago someone told me that I will be happier with someone else, siguro sasapakin ko sila sa mukha at sasabihang 'tanga kahit kailan di ko hihiwalayan si Samuel' but now, I can say ako pala ang tanga, hindi dahil I have given everything to him or dahil minahal ko sya ng sobra at wala na kong tinara para sa sarili ko. Lalong di ako tanga dahil pinatawad ko sya ng paulit ulit, ginawa ko yun kasi mahal ko sya. And that's how love is. Masasabi kong tanga ako kasi umasa ako, umasa ako na babalik sya at naghintay ako. Nakalimutan ko kaya nya nga pala nagagawang ipagpalit ako kung kanikanino hindi dahil hindi nya ako mahal kundi dahil para sakanya isa akong tanga na pwede nyang balikan kahit kailan nya gusto.

''Babe are you okay? A penny for your thought?'' nagulat akong makita si Anthony

''Akala ko ba may overtime kayo?'' tanong ko at agad na humalik sa pisngi nya

''Hmm, meron nga pero minadali kong tapusin dahil alam kong di ka nanaman magdidinner ng walang kasabay. Kaya dinala ko nalang dito yung dinner naten at trabaho ko.'' sabay yakap nya ng mahigpit saken

''Napagod ka pa sa pagbyahe, tapos uuwi ka anong oras na, nakamotor ka pa naman delikado. Pagkadinner tutulungan kita sa work mo kung ano yung kaya ko tapos dito ka na matulog''

''Hmm, baka di ako makatulog pag katabi kita, mademonyo pa ko. Sa sofa nalang ako, pag kasal na tayo kahit pilitin mo kong matulog sa sofa, di kita iiwan sa kwarto'' tinawan ko nalang sya at agad na hinain ang dala nyang ulam at kanin.

Matapos namen kumain at ayusin ang natitira nya trabaho agad na syang pumasok ng kwarto para kumuha ng damit na naiwan nya dito at naligo. And it was that moment na may narinig akong nakatok sa pinto, sinilip ko sa bintana kung sino yun, nagulat ako ng makitang si Samuel yung nasa labas. Lumapit sya sa bintana at tinitigan ako. Aalis na dapat ako ng marinig ko sya ''Aken ka lang Anaia. Aken lang.'' pagtapos ay umalis din sya. Natakot ako dahil parang wala sa sarili si Samuel pero minaige ko na ding wag sabihin kay Anthony ang nangyari. Masaya na ako at ayoko na ng gulo. Gusto ko na ang kung anong meron ako ngayon, at yun ay si Anthony.

Kinabukasan sabay kaming umalis ni Anthony, umangkas lang ako sa motor nya at hinatid nya ko sa trabaho. We kissed each other goodbye and he promised to pick me up later and we will have dinner outside. It's our 100th days daw kasi, ewan ko ba bakit may ganun celebration, sabi nya that is to celebrate each day with me. His blessing in life is having me. Hays, wala naman akong maisip na iregalo sakanya, bahala na nga.

Later that day....

Nang matapos ang work at pababa na ako nakita kong nakaabang na saken si Anthony at di na motor ang dala nya kundi yung kotse nya. Agad nya akong sinakay at bumyahe kami papunta sa Batangas, we will have an overnight there saka isang simple dinner.

Nang nasa byahe na kami, sabi nya matulog lang daw ako kasi mahaba ang byahe baka mapagod lang ako, gigisingin nalang daw nya ako kapag nandun na kami. I fell asleep and then I don't know how long are we travelling pero nagising ako ng may bumangga samen.

''Hoy! siraulo ka ah! Kung lasing ka tumabi ka sa kalsada para di ka nakakabangga!'' galit na sigaw ni Anthony at agad syang lumingon saken

''okay ka lang babe? may masakit ba sayo.'' umiling ako na nalilito hanggang sa makit ko nalang na may ilaw sa gilid ng sasakyan. Kung saan nakapwesto si Anthony and then a big crashing sound.

--------

beep beep beep beep beep

I woke up with that sound, pain all over my body.

''babe are you awake?'' tiningnan ko ang lalaking nasa harap ko at nagulat ako sa tinawag nya saken, tumingin ako sa paligid ko

''Nasaan ako?'tanong ko

''Doc, gising na po yung fiancee ko, pakitingin naman po sya please.'' at agad na may lumapit samen na matandang lalaki.

''Iha, I'm Dr. Melendez, do you remember what happen to you?'' umiling ako sa tanong nya

''Ano bang nangyari saken? Wala akong maalaala, nasaan ba ako?'' tiningnan ako ng doctor at ang mga nurse

''Can you tell me your name iha?'' my name? nalilito ako, sino nga ba ako? nasaan ako? wala akong matandaan kahit na ano, sumasakit na ulo ko pero wala akong maalaala na kahit na anong bagay, kahit na pangalan ko.

''I think she might have a temporary amnesia. You need to take care of her, aside from the broken ribs, wala nanamn syang iba pang injury so you may take her home after 3-5 days' sabi nung doctor sa lalaking kumausap saken kanina then nagiwan sya ng mga reseta sa lalaki at umalis din. Tinitigan kong maige yung lalaki na umupo sa kama ko.

'You are Anaia Torres, my future wife, my lovely fiancee. We've been together for a long time already.'' sabi nung lalaki sabay abot saken ng wallet nya na may mga pictures namen.

''You were on your way to Batangas to unwind, nagtalo kasi tayo nun, I ran after you pero it was too late ng makita ka sa kotse, you hit a tree.'' I ignored his story and asked

''sino ka?''

''You're future husband, Samuel Alarcon. I was so scared, akala ko mawawala ka ng tuluyan saken. I'm so happy at binigyan pa ko ng pagkakataon para makasama ka. We will get married pagkatapos ng recovery mo.''
