"ARE you okay? Pagod ka na ba? We could rest for a while if you like?" ani Claus while pulling me to a stop. We've been roaming around the venue, greeting our guests.
Medyo nangangalay na nga ang mga binti ko dahil sa mataas na heels na suot pero nang mapansin kong maraming tables pa ang hindi namin napupuntahan ay umiling lang ako sa kanya habang nakangiti.
"Hindi na. I'm fine. Tara na, they're probably waiting for us," aya ko sa kanya bago hinawakan ang braso niya at hinatak siya papunta sa susunod pang mga table.
Hindi ko alam kung ilang oras na kaming naglilibot sa mga tables. Pero maya-maya lang ay hindi na lang mga binti at paa ko ang nangangalay kung 'di pati na rin ang panga ko. I've been smiling a lot. Ngawit na ngawit na ang panga ko pero ayaw ko namang magreklamo dahil alam kong kailangan ko rin ito.
I needed to make connections. Para naman hindi lahat ay inaasa ko kay Claus.
"Restroom break muna 'ko," bulong ko sa kanya habang naglalakad kami papunta sa iba na namang table.
"Okay. I'll acc—"
"No need. Sandali lang ako. You just keep on entertaining them," tanggi ko sa kanya sabay pasimpleng turo sa iilan pang tables na hindi pa namin napupuntahan bago mas lumapit sa kanya para bumulong.
"Para pagbalik ko konti na lang." He chuckled and adoringly pinched my cheeks with a smile.
"Fine. Sige na, take your time," he said as he let go of my hands and watch me walked away.
Naghuhugas ako ng kamay nang marinig ko ang pagsara ng pintuan ng comfort room. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko nang makita ko mula sa salamin kung sino ang pumasok.
"What do you think you're doing?!" I hissed at him but Tim was just staring at me intently.
"Why did you marry him, Elle?" Mahigpit akong napakapit sa kanto ng lababo habang humahakbang siya palapit sa 'kin.
"And don't give me shits about how you love him. Kitang-kita ko, Elle. Kitang kita ko kung paano ka nagdalawang-isip kanina sa simbahan habang tinatanong ka ng pari," he said as he stopped in front of me. He stared at me for a while before he held my chin with his fingers and made me looked up to him.
"You don't love him, Elle. Ako. Ako ang mahal mo. You can't fool me." Dahan-dahan ang paraan nang pagkakasabi niya, para bang pilit niyang ipinapaintindi iyon sa 'kin.
"Ako lang, Elle. Ako lang," he said as he moved his head down and claimed my lips.
Alam kong mali. Hindi 'to tama!
I tried pushing him away. He's kissing me while I'm still on my wedding gown, on the venue of my wedding reception, and with my husband who was patiently waiting for me outside. I am perfectly aware of all of that but when I felt his tears dampening my face while he kiss me, I lost the battle.
I gave in to temptation and kissed him back. I rounded my arms around his neck as I felt him carry me and made me sit by the lavatory. His arms immediately caressed my waist as I get lost in his kisses every second that passes.
His kisses were getting deeper and bolder. I unconsciously looked up as Tim's lips left my lips and traveled down my neck. I can feel beads of sweat forming on my forehead as the temperature in the room rises.
I moaned breathlessly as his hands slowly fondled my breast before his lips once again found my lips.
"See? You love me. You want me. Me, and not your husband, Elle . . ." he whispered as he sensually bit on my earlobes while my mind was still hazy since his hands didn't stop fondling my chest.
Napasinghap ako nang maramdaman ang isang kamay niyang dahan-dahang umaakyat sa may hita ko. I closed my eyes tightly as I let the sexual tension between us get to me.
I can almost feel his warm hands in my center when there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Samuelle? Are you still there?" Para akong binuhusan ng nag-yeyelong tubig nang marinig ang boses ng asawa ko. Mabilis at buong pwersa kong tinulak si Tim na matiim ding nakatingin sa 'kin.
"Yes, Claus. Just a few more minutes! Sobrang sakit pa talaga ng paa ko!" pagdadahilan ko. Tim scoffed and even had the audacity to pull me closer once again and started kissing my neck. I held out a moan when I felt him bit my shoulders. I pushed him away and glared at him.
"Are you sure? Do you need me to massage it?" Mabilis akong napalingon sa saradong pintuan at agad na nilamon ng guilt.
There's the good guy, behind that door.
My kind and loving husband was just behind that door.
"I'm sorry . . ." hingi ko ng paumanhin sa basag na boses. Tim immediately walked up to me and embraced me from the back.
"Hey? Are you alright? What's wrong with your voice? Open the door please? Mag-usap tayo," Claus called out softly na mas nagpa-guilty lang sa 'kin.
"I'm alright. Lalabas din ako maya-maya, Claus. Please entertain the guests for a while," pakiusap ko habang tuloy-tuloy pa rin ang pag-agos ng luha ko.
"Stop crying, Elle," bulong ni Tim habang yakap-yakap ako at paulit-ulit ring hinahalikan ang ulo ko.
Pakiramdam ko napakasama kong tao.
I wanted to keep both of them with me.
Ayokong mamili.
Mahal ko si Tim, but Claus' my husband now and I also care for him. I don't want to hurt him too.
Narinig ko siyang huminga ng malalim bago umalis sa pagkakasandal sa pintuan ng comfort room.
"Alright. Come out when you felt like doing so. I know this might be overwhelming for you, babe. But I'm here. I'm here and I would be with you every step of the way. You're not alone." I covered my mouth with my hands to stop my sobs from escaping my lips. Mas mag-aalala lang siya kapag narinig niya akong umiiyak at malamang na ipilit niyang buksan ang pintuan.
"I love you." I bit my lower lip hard as hot and fresh tears streamed down my cheeks and Tim's arms on my waist tightened with his sudden words of affection.
"I'll wait for you . . ." I heard him say before I heard his footsteps walking away.
