Attain The Sky (Engineer Series #2)

▪ forty-nine

My heart skips a beat as I stared at those lovely smiles of Severus Kayel. We're back to each other's arms now. No hindrance, no doubts, just pure love. I could say that the love that we have for each other is nothing but a true and great love. I tilted my head and smiled sweetly.

I couldn't ask for more.

"What are you doing there, ate? Hindi ka po mag-swimming?" Lucas, Sky's younger brother, innocently asked. "Ate, maganda mag-swimming ngayon! Hindi pa po mas'yadong mainit 'yong araw!"

I shook my head and smiled. I don't have a plans as of now. I don't want to swim. I just want to lay all day. When Tita Reanne knew about my relastionship with Sky, she immediately book a flight into Cebu para makapag-outing. Hindi lang 'yon, kasama 'yong tatlong tanga at ang magulang ko.

"O, God, Sydney! Wear a two piece! Ayaw mong may makasapakan si Sky? Magaling makipagsuntukan 'yang anak ko!" Tita Reanne's voice filled my ears. Mabilis kong natakpan ang aking tainga sa tinis ng kan'yang boses.

"Tita, hindi na... Red day," I smiled sheepishly.

"O!" She gasped. "I've read somewhere na maganda raw mag-sex kapag may menstruation ang babae. Do you want me to call my son? I'll rent the presedential suit for the both of you," she giggled.

My lips parted in shock. What the hell?

"Tita naman, what are you saying?" Napahilamos ako sa hiya.

"Just kidding," she chuckled.

Umiling ako at tinanaw muli si Sky na kausap ang kan'yang kapatid habang may itinuturo ang kan'yang daliri. Dumapo ang aking tingin sa kan'yang itinuturo at napasinghap ako nang makitang babae iyon na kaedad ni Lucas. Mabilis na napailing si Lucas at napasimangot. Malakas na natawa si Sky sa pinakitang reaksyon ng kapatid.

"Tita, hindi ka ba naii-stress sa dalawang 'yan?" Kunot-noo kong tanong. "Parang mas mahirap kapag lalaki 'yong anak, 'no?"

"Laging masakit ang ulo ko sa dalawang 'yan, lalo na kay Sky," marahan na saad ni Tita Reanne. "But Sky is sweet. Namana niya kay Sean kaya nawawala agad 'yong galit ko sa batang 'yan," umiiling niyang dagdag.

Mahina akong natawa. Tita Reanna was telling me about Sky's childhood stories hanggang sa mamataan ko ang papalapit na pigura ni Sky. Tita Reanna quickly zipped her mouth and she act like nothing happened. Bumungisngis ako at 'di kalaunan, napagdesisyon niyang umalis na muna nang marating ni Sky ang aking kinaroroonan.

"Why are you leaving so soon, Ma?" Sky gently asked.

"Why? I'm going to take a sexy pictures of me. I'm going to send it to Sean. Magsisi siya na hindi siya sumama!" She crossed her arms and left.

We both laughed. Everyone was busy having their life out there while me, hindi makatayo dahil tinatamad ako. My eyes roamed around to look for the three idiots. I don't know where they are, baka nangbababae. They were really excited when they knew about the outing. They have camera, they have a lot of foods, at talagang pinaghandaan nila ito.

"You saw my brother?" I plainly asked. "Kanina, nakikita ko pa sila. Ngayon, sabay-sabay silang nawala..." I said nonchalantly.

"Hindi," he answered. "Let them. Mas'yado silang na-stress sa pag-alaga sa 'yo," he chuckled.

"Nakakasawa rin naman pagmumukha nila."

Naramdaman ko ang pag-upo niya sa aking tabi. I couldn't look straightly into his eyes. He's topless and according to Tita Reanne, mas madaling ma-horny ang babaeng may menstruation. I don't want to believe her but to be honest, for the years that have passed, mas lumago ang pagkauhaw ko kay Sky. It was like I want to submit my whole self to him... but what a wrong timing.
