24Karat Virgin

Chapter 5. Be the Wife

The days went by so fast. This was my final day with Lolita. Today was the day she made sure that I have the body of a sex goddess and the prowess of a tenured pornstar when it comes to giving the opposite sex pleasure beyond measure. Hindi ko na gustong alalahanin kung ano ang mga pinagdaanan ko sa kamay ni Lolita para mamulat ang mata ko sa lahat ng kamunduhan. Tama siya sa isang bagay, hindi kailangang mawala ang virginity ko sa mga pinaggagagawa niya sa akin, pero sapat na sapat na iyon para mawala ang lahat ng bait ko sa sarili. I was used and abused in mind, body, and soul without her having to penetrate the hymen between my legs.

Finally, I looked at my brand new self in the mirror. Marietta would kill me if she saw me. Isang malaking krimen para sa kanya na maging maganda ako na kagaya nito. Siguro ay nakikita niya ang mukha ng ina ko sa akin, ang mukhang kinabaliwan ng asawa niya noon. Hindi matanggap ni Marietta na minsang naging mas maganda sa kanya si Mama, na may isang babaeng bumihag sa puso ni Don Roman at muntik nang sumira sa pagsasama nila. My father was prepared to cast away his childless wife back then. I heard that father planned to make my mother his wife and throw Marietta into the dungeons. Ayon sa batas at tradisyon ng pamilya kapag ang asawang babae ay hindi magkaroon ng supling na tagapagmana, maaring itong ipatapon at palitan ng iba. Walang magiging protesta sa angkan ng asawang babae. Muntik nang mapatapon si Marietta, kung di nga lang sa huling sandali ay inanunsyo nitong buntis ito.

Bumaliktad ang mundo, ang Mama ko ang napatapon, ang Mama ko ang tumanggap ng walang kasing saklap na parusa na kung tutuusin ay hindi nito deserve. My mother never liked my father. She was an innocent public school teacher, batang-bata kakagraduate lang mula sa kolehiyo at kakapasok lang sa pampublikong eskwelahan. Ang kasalanan ni Mama, naging napakaganda niya, gandang sumilaw sa pinuno ng angkan ng mga Ferrer de Sandoval. My father forced himself into my mother's life. She was left with no choice...

"Do you like what you see?" napukaw ang atensyon ko ng malamyos na boses ni Lolita. Hindi lang mukha ang dalawa sa babaeng ito. Kaya nitong magpanggap na mabuting tao sa pamamagitan ng boses kung kelan nito gusto. I knew better, I've heard her cursed and spit fire from her dirty mouth. Kunsabagay, kumpara kay Marietta, anghel pa itong si Lolita.

Binalik ko ang atensyon sa reflection ko sa full size mirror na nasa harapan ko. Of course, I liked what I saw. I had a spitting image of my mother. Innocent and virginal. Lolita chose the white dress so well; it's made of soft fabric that clung to my body so perfectly. I have this rare hourglass shape that every woman would die for in surgeries just to have. My skin was fair and smooth, like satin. The women in the class envied my flawless face too.

"Aren't you going to put any make up on me? I want the same color as your lips now." untag ko kay Lolita. Gusto kong makita kung ano ang magiging itsura ko kapag naka-make up ako. Marietta never allowed me to put any on my face. So I was always curious. Of course, I tried sneaking inside the bathroom when I was in high school to put on a lip tint. Ang problema makapit ang lip tint na iyon, hindi basta-basta nabubura. Pag-uwi ko sa bahay iyon ang unang-unang nakita ni Marietta, dumugo ang labi ko sa ilang beses na sampal na tinamo ko dahil lang sumubok akong pagandahin ang sarili ko.

Ngumiti sa akin si Lolita. "This lipstick is made for inadequate women whose lips are not pretty enough like yours. Hindi mo kailangan ng lipstick hija, mababawasan nito ang ganda mo."

Muli kong pinag-aralan ang mukha ko sa salamin. True enough, I found myself beautiful too. I had fine brown eyebrows that arched nicely, thick lashes around my almond-shaped eyes, an attractive nose, and strawberry-glazed lips. There was not a single detail on my face that was out of proportion.

"Your face, mydarling,g is one in a galaxy. It's a shame for Areezmir Vulkov that he will not have a glimpse of your Venus-like grandeur while he bangs your cunt endlessly. What a pitiful man, I'd say."
