Taxon Ken Baider's POV
It was dark, I was staring at the star when the reflection of lights hit the face of the girl walking at the middle of road.
My eyes glued to her.
She's beautiful. I hold my chest due to palpitation.
Is it palpitation or I'm in love? Oh.. men.
I got her name, Vinea Clee Torrefiel.
When I walked away from her I do the face palm.
Am I crazy? I know she was scared.
I was looking at my phone while walking going inside Laurente.
"Ouch!" I touched the lower part of my eyes when something hit me. I looked around.
What the fuck was that?
I glared at the stone near my feet then I get up, I paused a second when I saw her adorable face.
"Sorry, hindi ko sinasadya. Ikaw naman kasi bakit nandyan ka? Patingin nga," she removed my hand and stared at me.
I froze, can't move even a single movement.
"Sorry talaga," hinawakan niya pa ang ibaba ng mata ko at hinipan.
Ohh men.. what is she doing?
"What the? What are you doing?" Inis kong sabi. I removed her hand from my face.
I glared at her, but I saw how she trembled. Natakot yata sa tingin ko.
"Sorry talaga, hindi ko naman sinasadya. Sorry, dalhin na kita sa hospital," she is blabby, but her voice is like a music. I love to hear that.
"No need," I glared at her again, but she looks scared.
Bakit ba lahat ng tao natatakot sa tingin ko? Wala naman akong ginagawa.
"Just don't go near me again," tinalikuran ko siya dahil napapatitig ako sa mukha niya.
I feel my heart for the first time. I know, I like her.
"Hoy, sorry na," ohh men.. hinabol niya pa ako at hinawakan sa braso.
"Sorry na kasi," malambing niyang sabi. Gusto kong ngumiti pero pinagkunutan ko na lang siya ng noo.
"Okay. Get lost," 'yon na lang ang nasabi ko.
Yeah.. I want her to get lost mamaya maging close pa kami at ma-in love ako 'pag nagtagal.
"Talaga? Paano 'yang pasa mo?" She's blabby and makulit.
"Sorry talaga," I stared at her face.
I studied every part of it. Rounded eyes, not that pinkish lips, pointed nose and small face.
In short, I like her feature.
Hindi sobrang ganda, hindi rin naman pangit pero kung ako ang tatanungin.
Maganda siya sa paningin ko.
"Bakit?" Ohh men.. she is now curious why I'm staring at her, but I did not answer her.
She looked at my chest. I think she saw the 'Atty. Taxon Ken Baider' that's why she trembled in shock.
"Wag mo akong ipapakulong! Please lang. Hindi ko naman sinasadya, eh. Sorry na!" Gusto kong matawa. Ang daldal niya talaga.
"Sorry na, hoy!" Pinigilan ko ang ngiti ko because I saw her tears at the edge of her eyes.
"Crazy," that's the line out from my mouth.
Crazy adorable girl. Corny, though.
Tinalikuran ko na lang siya dahil nagwawala na ang puso ko.
The weeks passed, but I can't take her out of my mind. I always saw her face inside my brain.
"Sana all may love life," Taxen Kil sighed.
Nasa hospital kami kasi nasaksak si Jave. Kakatapos lang ng matinding labanan dahil prinotektahan namin si Shine kala Rocky at sa grupo niya.
"Bro, go to the bar and find your babe there," I said to Taxen Kil.
"Wow! Nagsalita ang may love life," biglang natigilan si Taxen Kil. "Wala ka nga bang lovelife, Kuya?"
I smirked at him.
"Ugh! Mayroon? Poor me," Taxen Kil sighed again.
I don't know if I can say that this is lovelife. Ako lang naman ang may gusto sa kaniya dahil may boyfriend siya.
But I don't care kahit magkaibigan lang kami masaya na ako. Hindi na ako maghahangad pa ng iba.
I admit that I'm afraid of patunay, but I'm not afraid to love someone.
Talaga nga lang na makulit at madaldal si Vinea Clee dahil hindi niya ako tinitigilan kapag nakikita niya ako.
Best friend.
Ouch! I sarcastically laughed at myself.
Okay lang, men.
I'm hurt sometimes when I saw how tired she is and I was so worried because of her asshole boyfriend. If only I can steal her from him, I do that, but I can see how much she loves him that's why I did not try. I told her my feelings, but she laughed at me.
It's okay.
When I save her from suicidal attempts sobrang takot ako dahil paano na lang kung hindi ko siya nakita?
I left her for five years, pero hindi naman talaga ako nawala. I'm always following her until one night hindi ko na nakaya, nagpakita na ako sa kaniya. She's in danger, I can't watch her suffering.
Galit na galit ako noong gabing 'yon.
The day Brekley was about to rape Vinea Clee. I wanted him die, pero isang sabi lang ni Vinea Clee sinunod ko na.
Siya ang batas.
Whatever she wants, I will do with matching wide smile.
Maawtoridad akong tao pero pagdating sa kaniya. Gagawin ko lahat ng gusto niya.
When she said, she loves me too. I want to jump so high. Wala lang masaya lang kahit medyo natakot sa patunay.
Noong pinuntahan namin si Brekley sa hospital. I giggled at him, nag-iinarte gustong pakasalan ang girlfriend ko. I let him do what he wants from my girl.
Kiss her. Fine!
Masakit, oo! Pero akin din naman siya babalik after. That's why I can't be jealous. Hindi 'yon ang ugali ko. Kahit nga tingnan ko pa sila harap-harapan na naghahalikan. Sanay na ako, kahit noon pa naman, tiniis ko ang masakit na pakiramdam.
That's what true love is.
Noong magsimula na ang patunay. Hindi na ako mapakali pa. I can't sleep or eat. I'm overthinking. But I trusted her. Kaya niya 'yon.
When I saw her, gumagapang na pero pinipilit pa rin.
Todo iyak ako. Sobrang mahal niya ako para gawin 'yon.
Nang ikasal kami, hindi na nawala pa ang saya sa puso ko.
I chuckled when I heard her singing.
"Are you ready, kids? Aye-aye, Captain! I can't hear you! Aye-aye, Captain!"
Nakakatawa talaga siya. Para siyang bata kung umasta dahil sa paborito niyang si spongebob.
Nang makapasok kami sa kwarto ay kinuha ko si spongebob. Napasimangot siya.
"Petchay akin na! Kiss na lang kita." I smiled at her playfully.
"Kiss lang?"
Nanlaki ang mga mata niya. Ngumisi ako at ibinalik sa kaniya si spongebob.
"Kidding," tinalikuran ko siya at umupo sa kama.
"Kidding? Hindi ka naman nagbibiro. Miss mo na agad ang sexy body ko?"
Tawa ako nang tawa nang ikembot niya pa ang balakang.
Nawiwili talaga ako sa kaniya. Sa kadaldalan niya ewan ko na lang.
My wife.
Natigilan ako nang umupo siya sa hita ko. Nakagat ko ang labi.
She's tempting me.
"Are you ready, kids? Aye-aye, Captain! I can't hear you! Aye-aye, Captain!"
"Ohh men," napahagalpak ako ng tawa. Kumakanta nanaman!
"You really love spongebob, huh? Sinong mas mahal mo sa aming dalawa?"
"Syempre ikaw!" Humalik siya sa pisngi ko at ipinulupot ang kamay sa leeg ko.
Ang kulit nanaman niya. Kapag ako hindi nagpigil nako!
Tumalon siya sa kama at binuksan ang TV.
Pupusta ako hahanapin niya nanaman si spongebob.
"Petchay! Walang spongebob ngayon?" Sabi ko na!
"Yeah." Malapad akong ngumiti.
She really looks cute. My wife.
Sarap sa feeling. My wife.. Isa pa nga. My wife.. Yeah, I'm crazy.
Taxon Ken Baider is crazy in love with this blabby girl who really loves beng-beng, spongebob and petchay.
"Taxon Ken?"
"Yes, Blabby?"
"Tanggalin mo nga," inginuso niya ang shirt niya na itinaas pa ang dalawang kamay.
I gulped. What is she thinking?
"'Wag kang makulit, Vinea Clee."
Tinalikuran ko siya at akmang lalabas. Parang nauhaw ako bigla. Bago pa ako makarating sa pinto ay humarang na siya.
"Boy or girl?"
"Huh?"
"Twin o single?"
"Huh?" Kunot-noo kong tanong kahit alam ko na ang tinutukoy niya. Nag-iwas ako ng tingin.
She don't want intimate ritual pala, huh?
"Top or bottom?"
"Huh?" Pinigilan ko ang matawa. Ang kulit, ang daldal, ayan nanaman siya.
"Lights off or lights on?"
"Huh?"
"Hakdog!" Inirapan niya ako at akmang bubuksan ang pinto. Mabilis akong yumakap sa likuran niya.
"Sabi ko, 'di ba? Girl? Single, ayaw ko ng twin, lights on para kita ko ang," napatigil ako at lumunok. "Ang--"
"Petchay?"
Napatawa ako nang malakas. "Shh," dinampian ko ng halik ang labi niya. "Ang ingay mo."
Ngumiti siya nang malapad at mabilis na humiga sa kama.
"Bilis, Taxon Ken, let's do the evolution and reproduction."
Tumatawa akong lumapit sa kaniya.
