17-Another Letter

Magsimula sa umpisa
                                    

"Love, sandali--" bulong ni Janessa dahil sa hindi niya maipaliwanag na pakiramdam. She was writhing on top of the bed habang hindi tinitigilan ni John ang pagpaparamdam ng pagnanasa sa mga dibdib niya. She could feel her whole body trembling lalo na noong tuluyan nang alisin ang natitirang saplot sa katawan niya. His lips moved from her mounds down to her flat belly. Pababa nang pababa ang mga labi ng lalaki kasabay naman ng kusang pagbuka ng mga hita ni Janessa. When he reached his target, napaigtad si Janessa sa sensasyong dulot ng mga labi ng kaulayaw. She screamed his name in pleasure when he played with her core using his tongue and mouth.

"I love you. Let me make you mine, please, please? I'll stop if you don't agree--"

She felt all her love for him consume her with his pleading. He could have just taken her pero nagpaalam pa ito sa kanya. She gently pushed him. Nang akala nito na titigil na sila ay hinila ni Janessa ang suot na pants ni John at binuksan ang butones at zipper.

"I'm yours and you're mine. My once unattainable and rare love is now so special. From now on, blue roses signifies how much we love and desire each other--" bulong niya bago niya tuluyang ibaba ang pantalon ni John.

He was on top of her in a second. He kissed her lips and made her core wetter with his fingers. Tuwing uungol si Janessa ay napapaungol din si John. He feasted on her body again, making sure not to leave any part untouched. When she felt all of her insides were going to explode, he thrust his rod into her and quickly brought her to her first orgasm. With a few thrust, he spilled his seeds inside of her.

That night at the shower, napaungol si Janessa dahil sa naalalang nakaraan. She cursed herself dahil nasa dako paroon pala ang kamay niya. She was feeling herself while imagining the past that she shared with the bastard whom she hated the most.

She scolded herself.

"Minsan ka na lang maka-imagine, X-rated pa," bulong niya sa sarili.

Mas nilamigan pa ni Janessa ang tubig at saka nagbanlaw na. She could feel her core throbbing with need dahil sa kagagahan niya. Alam niyang hindi naman niya maiibsan ang sakit ng puson na iyon gamit ang kamay niya at daliri kaya't nilakasan na lang niya ang tubig at nang matapos nang magbanlaw ay nagtuyo na ng tuwalya at nagbihis. She dressed in her disguise. Ilan sa gamit na binili niya sa mall noong hapon ay ang pulang dress na ginamit niyang pang-akit at ang disguise niya na gagamitin niya paglabas ng hotel. Dahil matangkad si Janessa, kapag itinaas niya ang buhok at itinago sa wig, cap at ang mukha naman sa mask, kapag nagsuot ng makapal at padded na jacket at loose na pantalon at malaking boots, papasa itong lalaki. She even wore a fake mustache para siguradong hindi siya makikilala. Dressing, makeup and disguises ay mga specialty ni Janessa dahil na rin sa dating raket noong high school pa siya.

When she went out of the room, naroon na nga ang mga inutusan niya para mag-setup. Dahil she took her time showering, nang lumabas si Janessa ng kwarto ay nakitang nakahiga na ng kama sa kabilang kwarto ng suite na iyon ang lalaking walang malay. Nakablindfold na ito at nakatali ang mga kamay sa headbord ng kama, wala itong saplot sa katawan bukod sa kumot na nasa bandang beywang. She closed her eyes to prevent herself from looking at his well sculpted body. When she remembered why he was positioned like that, she couldn't help but smirk. Pumwesto si Janessa sa may tabi ng nakataling lalaki at narinig ang tunog ng camera shutter.

Nang magsalita si Daryl na okay na ay saka lang tumayo si Janessa.

"I'll leave first. Make sure you finish here and clean everything up. Send me the output tomorrow sa address na itetext ko. I'll change my number after tomorrow. As much as I would like to connect with you again, I don't think it's wise kaya don't try to contact me again after this." Janessa was serious. Para sa kanya, her past would only drag her down lalo na kung malalaman ni John kung sino ang mga kinasabwat niya para sa susunod na mga kaganapan.

Tumango ang dalawang kasabwat ni Janessa. Ni hindi ito ngumiti o sumagot. Tumango lang sila at saka inayos ang second part ng plano.

JANESSA leaned on the headrest of her car seat and sighed. She looked at the envelope and sighed again. She knew what to expect dahil siya ang nagsabi ng gusto niyang makitang resulta sa dalawang binayaran niya. She was about to open the envelope nang mag-beep ang cellphone niya dahil sa bagong mensahe.

I'm sorry for failing you, Nessa. Sa susunod babawi ako sa'yo pangako. Hindi lang ngayon. The checque is inside the envelope. -Daryl

Napakunot ang noo niya at bigla siyang kinabahan. Bakit iba ang message ni Daryl? Did my plan fail?

Her hands were shaking as she opened the envelope.

"Shit! I hate you!"

Imbis na makita ang mga litratong may kasamang lalaki sa hotel si John habang nakahubad, nakapiring at nakatali, iba ang laman ng envelope na iyon. Imbis na isang news article tungkol sa isang Bilyonaryong lalaki pala ang gusto at hindi babae ay iba ang laman ng brown envelope.

The envelope contained photos of her and John noong hindi pa sila nagkakahiwalay. Ang mga kopya niya ng mga litratong iyon ay nasunog nang lahat ni Janessa. Isa-isa niyang pinunit ang mga litrato at itinapon sa sahig ng kotse. She could feel her entire body shaking from rage when she took out a dark blue paper na nakapailalim sa mga litrato. Pagbukas niya ng papel ay nakasulat ng puting ink ang isang mensahe.

Nessa my Goddess,

You may try to ruin me but I will always stop you from ruining yourself. I can't let you do this dahil babawiin pa kita. I will never let you experience the same pain twice. I will protect you now as I have failed to protect you in the past. Please give me a chance. I love you. I did not say I still love you because my feelings never changed. I simply love you and my love for you will keep growing with longing as I wait for you to accept me again. I love you, Janessa. Only you.

Your blue and red rose,

John


PS. It wasn't me who sent that email. Just so you know, I would never agree to marry anyone else but you. Please give me a chance. Please.



Bago niya lukutin ang sulat ay may pumatak na luha sa papel na asul. Ang napatakan na papel ay nagkulay itim dahil sa luha niyang pumatak doon. She started crying not because she was touched by the letter but because she couldn't find peace within herself na paniwalaan lahat ng nakasulat sa papel na iyon. Her pain and anger was too deeply rooted na hindi niya makayang pakinggan kahit anong paliwanag pa na sabihin sa kanya.
