Fragments – 11 Promises Are Meant to be Broken (Part 1 of 2)
Roger’s POV
----------------
It was now two weeks after Lily’s confession. I learned that Ninong David fucked my wife several times for the two days she was gone.
She told me she couldn’t go home right away and didn’t bother to check her phone because she was so into the sex that she sort of “forgot” everything else.
The revelation definitely hurt me but there was nothing I could do. A big part of why things got so messed up was due to the choices I had made.
While I was thinking about that I had no idea that Lily was worrying about how I would treat her from now on.
“D-do you still… still… want me?”
With apprehension, she asked me after we exhausted ourselves fucking that night and the lust has subsided.
At the end of the day, Lily and I are still husband and wife. Even though we enjoyed the sex with other partners, we couldn’t escape the guilt that comes with cheating each other.
And Lily had been trying to be completely honest with me. On the other hand, I’m not sure that I could be. Totally shameless of me.
I couldn’t bring myself to tell her that I had a sexual encounter with an older MILF when I was on a business trip abroad. I couldn’t because I wanted to introduce that lady to Lily as my family.
After all, Caroline was my late mother’s bestfriend. She told me that I could treat her as my aunt.
“Ayaw mo na?” Her voice cut short my musing.
Because I was so deeply in trance when she asked me first, my wife must have thought I couldn’t accept her anymore.
“No Babe. I love you, and I still need you in my life.” I told her brightly as I caressed her pretty face.
That reassured her somehow, and she too began to smile at me.
“But we have to have new rules between us.” I added.
“Since we couldn’t go back to the way we were, then we just have to accept this new norm.”
“But there should be some limitations.” I looked at my wife to see if she was following me.
“Anong limitations, Babe?” tanong nya.
“We’ll go back to additional rules later on because I haven’t thought deeply about it, but for now, what I could think of is that we should restrict ourselves as much as possible. In other words, dapat huwag tayong magpapakantot nang kung sino-sino lang.”
“What I mean is that if, and I say IF, gusto nating makipag-sex sa iba, then dapat magpa-alam tayo sa isa’t isa.”
“I as your husband, should give consent. And you, as my wife should do the same for me.”
My wife understood right away. “So if Ninong David, approached me and wanted to…”
“Then you have to refuse.” I cut her short and finished the sentence for her. “Promise me that you have to tell me first and ask if I agree.”
She nodded her head and said, “Okay” in a soft voice, but her expression was telling me she was in deep contemplation.
Hindi ko sinabi sa kanya ang totoong pakay ko. If ever gusto nyang makipag sex sa iba, ay sa tingin ko, papayagan ko sya sa huli- that is basta kasama ako, basta andoon ako sa eksena.
There’s that uncomfortable itch inside me that’s telling me that I want to see her getting fucked! I’d be satisfied, despite the pain, as long I get to see her turning into a slut before my very eyes.
Just the thought is already turning me on. Napakagago ko talaga. But I couldn’t possibly tell her in a straightforward manner, so I could only do it this way.
I don’t want to sound like I was pimping her away. Ayoko ring isipin nya na napaka weird ng fetish ko.
“Second and most importantly,” I continued, “Iwasan mo ang Bob na iyun, o maging yung si Jake. They are dangerous people. Cut off any communication kung meron man, and if ever that old pervert is bothering you, tell me, and I will confront that guy.”
For Bob, I thought of taking care of him through Caroline. That night before we parted, Caroline told me I could ask her for any favor. As long as it’s within her power, she would help me without thinking twice.
Taking care of a trash like Bob should be a piece of cake for a powerful woman like her, right?
So, ayun nga. We had those two new rules set for our married life to continue being functional. Without it, I’m afraid both of us would become so wild and depraved that it may break our marriage apart.
The weeks went well, at least the way I saw it. Same sa dati, hinahatid ko si Lily sa work early in the morning and then, aalis agad ako to go to my workplace.
In the evening, sinusundo ko ang asawa ko at sabay kaming umuuwi.
To outsiders, nothing had changed. If ever, mas lalo pa nga kaming naging sweet sa isa’t-isa. But I knew this kind of lull wouldn’t last long.
Because Lily and I were already different people from the past us.
And there was this one person who knew he could have his way with my wife because he had already done it once.
Si Ninong David.
I wondered kung kelan sya mag-aattempt sa asawa ko.
Hindi ko alam if may nasabi si Lily kay Ninong regarding sa usapan naming mag-asawa, or the fact that nalibugan ako nang magtapat si Lily sa kantutan nilang dalawa.
Nevertheless, the few times Ninong and I saw each other, we both pretended na walang nagbago, na walang nangyari.
I still greeted him politely, and he still acknowledged me with the same level of enthusiasm as before. We shook hands, we shared some coffee, we complimented each other, and laughed as we used to.
We were both hypocrites.
I didn’t know how long we could keep this charade.
The change of pace didn’t take long to happen.
The third week into our “new normal” married life, Lily confided to me that she had been receiving lewd texts from that Bob.
When I was about to tell her that I already took steps to straighten him out, my wife told me not to worry anymore.
“Ninong had been keeping tabs on that old pervert. He already told me he would take care of him.” My wife said with gleam in her eyes.
“Just yesterday, I heard he suffered a stroke because of the massive financial loss he had sustained. He’s now in a wheelchair, possibly for the rest of his life.” Lily beamed happily at me.
Napakunot bigla ang noo ko. Yes, napanood ko nga sa news kahapon, but I thought Caroline was the one who did the hit on Bob and not Ninong.
A couple of days ago, I asked Caroline for a favor and she told me to wait for the news of Bob’s downfall.
And if I remember correctly, that time in Singapore, Caroline clearly told me Ninong David didn’t have enough influence to go against someone of Bob’s level. At most, he could just scare him away, just like what he did in the lingerie show.
So naisip ko na malamang wala ngang kinalaman si Ninong sa pagbagsak ni Bob. He must have taken advantage of the situation and claimed credit to my wife.
Hmmmm… He must be expecting a reward from Lily, right?
My wife was definitely very happy with the news. I couldn’t just spoil her mood by telling her that Ninong was lying to him.
But to be sure, I went out of the house saying I’d be gone for a while. When I was outside, I called Caroline right away. She picked the call on the third ring.
“Hello Roger my boy, I bet you heard the news already?” I heard Caroline’s sultry voice, and she seemed pleased to hear my voice. In fact, see seemed to be expecting my call.
“Yes, thank you.” Without any doubt, Bob’s current mishap was due to her.
“My pleasure.” She was clearly delighted with how grateful I sounded.
Still, I had to break the awful news that somebody’s claiming responsibility for her deed.
“But I heard from my wife that someone is taking the credit for the hit on Bob”
There was a short pause then Caroline’s voice changed. She sounded pissed.
“Who would dare---?” She stopped and smirked, “Was is that old man David?” Her sneer stung my ears.
“Yes.”
From the other line I could hear her scorn. “Bah! What a shameless guy. What would he get by doing that?”
I was silent because I couldn’t tell her. But who is Caroline? She was one hell of a smart woman. She was able to immediately connect the dots and draw conclusions.
“I see. I see.” She chuckled and cursed David, “Impressive. That motherfucker still got it. He’s old and his bag of tricks could still hoodwink naive girls. Tsk Tssk.”
After a good laugh she asked me, “But my Boy, are you sure you’re fine with what’s happening?”
“No I’m not, but I’m dealing with it.” I said.
“Your wife is young and easily swayed. Deception is the tool of the crafty.” Caroline sighed. “But I could also be partly blamed. I kept you here for too long to myself, and that gave David the chance to take advantage of your wife.”
In my head I was saying, “Yes you kept me there, and kept fucking me.” Not that I was complaining though.
“No Caroline, the blame’s on me. I am the husband. I should have done a better job.”
“Still, I don’t feel good about this development. I was getting ready to appear before your wife as your second mom. Then this happened.” She confided in frustration.
Then as if making a decision, she added. “Nevermind. Since that old bastard was so eager to claim credit, shouldn’t we make him suffer a bit? What do you think, Roger?”
“What do you mean?” I asked curiously.
“Just wait for another news. This time it should be a better one for you and your wife.” With that she said goodbye and disconnected, but not before teasing me first.
What could she mean? I was momentarily thinking of what she would do. Not having any ideas, I decided to go back inside the house.
Not knowing why I did it, but I actually went inside discreetly. It was like I was sneaking in to my own house.
I felt ridiculous and stupid but then I saw my wife talking to someone over the phone. By the conversation, I realized who the other person was at the end of the line.
“Wow, thank you talaga ninong ha?” My wife was happily chatting. She didn’t see me coming in as she was busy with her conversation.
I decided not to disturb them and instead found a spot where I could not be seen from her vantage point.
I perked my ears and tried to eavesdrop, careful not to miss any part of their conversation.
A minute or so afterwards, my wife’s face turned red, then her voice became soft as if she was whispering.
But I was still able to hear her say, “No, don’t say that. I’m not alone, Roger was just here.”
Luminga pa sya sa pintuan to see if sarado pa.
Nang masiguradong sarado pa nga ay, nagpatuloy sila sa usapan nilang dalawa.
“No, I couldn’t. I told you, ninong. Pinagbigyan na kita sa office kanina. I already promised my husband. It’s still a NO!”
Nagpanting ang tenga ko sa aking narinig. Tama ba yung narinig ko? May nangyari sa kanila ng asawa ko sa office kanina lang?
It was Wednesday, and I was held back by something at the office so I texted my wife that I’d be a bit late in picking her up.
Nang dumating ako sa opisina nya, wala naman akong napansing kakaiba. Dahil medyo tahimik na, nagtanong pa nga ako kung nasaan na si Ninong because I was planning to greet him on the way out.
But my wife told me that Ninong left the office early due to a client. I remember seeing the light inside Ninong’s office was still on, pero hindi na ako nagtaka baka nga nakalimutan lang i turn-off.
But apparently, nandoon nga siguro si Ninong sa loob ng opisina at may ginawa sila ng asawa ko bago ako dumating. “Pinagbigyan” yan ang narinig ko na pagkakasabi ni Lily.
Agad gumana ang malikot kong imahinasyon at inisip ang anumang posibleng mangyari sa loob ng kwarenta y singko minutos. Forty-five minutes akong na-late sa pagsundo sa asawa ko kanina.
Nagpaalam ako sa kanya, so alam ni Lily na matatagalan ako sa pagsundo sa kanya.
45 minutes. Sobrang enough time ito for a blowjob. Laplapan? Kain ng puke? Pwedeng-pwede rin.
Kantutan? Naisip ko na kasyang kasya ang oras, baka nga dalawang putukan pa. Bwiset!
Umigkas na naman ang burat ko sa naisip kong kalaswaan.
“Sorry, ninong pero I already decided na tama na ang mga nangyari. I hope you could respect my wish. I don’t want my husband to misunderstand. So please.”
I heard my wife say. She was very firm and for a while I felt ashamed of myself. Here I was, getting aroused while thinking of my wife getting fucked by ninong.
But my wife was actually trying to set things straight. What she said was her telling Ninong that she would not betray me.
Babe, do I still deserve your love? Para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig. I should also stop thinking about dirty things.
With guilt gnawing at me, I tiptoed and silently went outside once more.
Pretending to have just returned, I opened the door once again, but loudly this time, as if to announce my return.
My wife turned her head instantly the moment I came in.
I smiled at her and asked, “Babe, you're busy?”
“Nope.” Lily had a wide smile as she replied. “I just talked to ninong to thank him. Why?”
“Matagal na tayong hindi lumalabas. How about ipag-shopping kita? O magpunta tayo sa hair saloon?” Sabi ko.
“Talaga Babe?” Lumundag sa tuwa ang asawa ko sabay yakap sa akin. “Thank you, Babe. Ngayon na?”
“Sure. Let’s go today.” I said.
The rest of the night ay ginawa ko ang lahat para pasayahin ang misis ko. Kumbaga nag-date kami na parang noong magsyota pa lang kami. Dahil nga sa dami ng mga nangyari since the honeymoon, samahan pa nang busy naming work schedule, ay hindi namin masyado na-i-enjoy ang mag-relax na kami lang dalawa.
Mahigit tatlong na oras kami sa hair saloon, at naisipan din ni misis na magpatina ng buhok- for a change daw. She picked auburn-colored combination na bagay na bagay naman sa fair complexion nya.
Pagkatapos mag-saloon ay binilhan ko sya ng mga bagong damit, kasama na syempre ang mga sexy intimate wears. Then, kumain kami sa isang mamahaling restaurant, at sa huli ay nanood ng last full show sa sinehan.
All in all, it was worth it. We needed a break and personally, I wanted to treat my wife because I just felt that I had neglected her.
---------------------------
Two days later, Friday, after kong ihatid si Lily sa office ay nagsabi syang h’wag ko na siyang hintayin sa gabi dahil may meeting daw sila with a client, out of town.
They’ll be using the company car naman so safe ang pag-uwi nya. Hindi nga lang siya sigurado kung anong oras matatapos ang meeting so mabuti pa daw na sa bahay ko na siya hintayin.
“Ganoon ba?” I kissed my wife goodbye and smiled. “Okay, basta kung may problema, tawag ka agad sa akin ha?”
“Okay, Babe. I will.” She smiled and hugged me before she walked inside the elevator.
The rest of the day naging busy din ako sa trabaho. After nang business trip ko abroad, I was told by HR that I would be promoted.
Today, the official announcement finally came through. So that night, we had an impromptu mini-celebration with my team.
We went to a posh resto bar with Candice and the rest of the guys sa team ko. There are 5 people in my team, excluding me- dalawang babae at tatlong lalaki.
Yung isang babae si Dana, 28 years old ay isang maybahay na may isang anak. Morena, matalino, at palangiti. Maganda rin ito. Ang mister nito, I believe ay nagtatrabaho sa airport security. Hindi lang ako sigurado kung anong designation nya.
Sa mga lalaki naman, ako pa lang ang may asawa na. Si Luke, Jude, and Troy ay parehong mga binata at nasa early twenties pa lang.
Initially, gusto kung dalhin sila sa isang restaurant para kumain lang, pero ang gusto ng team ko ay uminom daw kami, kaya naman naghanap kami ng resto at hinayaan ko sila sa gusto nila.
Medyo naparami kami ng inom dahil nga sa nag celebrate kami sa promotion ko. At 10 pm, with my insistence ay umalis na kami sa bar. Before that, nauna nang umalis si Dana dahil sinundo ng mister nya bandang alas-nuebe ng gabi.
Paglabas namin ng bar ay napansin kong medyo malakas pala ang ulan, di kasi dinig sa loob dahil nandoon din kami sa may sulok.
Kaagad kong kinuha ang cellphone ko to text my wife. Ayun may dalawang messages na pala si misis sa akin. Yung una, mga alas-sais which is around the time we were already in the bar. Ang pangalawa ay forty minutes ago.
I read the first text and it was her congratulating me about the promotion.
“Babe, congrats!” sabi pa nya. “We’re having dinner with the client. After this, we’ll be wrapping up the details of our cooperation. Then I’ll try to be home early to celebrate with you. Love you.”
I smiled while reading her message. I then looked at the second one.
“Babe, ang lakas ng ulan dito. I don’t think makakauwi ako dahil umapaw daw yung creek at hindi madadaanan yung tulay going out of the city. Sorry, I’ll make it up to you tomorrow. The client was kind enough to offer us free accommodation, so don’t worry about me.”
Although she told me not to worry, I was still a bit worried. So I tried to call her, but her phone was out of reach.
It must be the weather, sabi ko sa sarili ko. Maging ako man ay nahihirapan ding kumuha ng signal.
I decided to leave her a text, saying that I’m fine and that she should take care of herself. I also told her that I had just gone out with my team, and that I was already heading home.
Since I was only the one with a car, I told everyone to come with me and I’d bring them all home.
Candice sat on the passenger seat while the men settled themselves at the back. The guys were complaining, in a good-natured way, that they hadn’t had enough fun yet. They wanted us to visit more bars and drink more.
I laughed at their antics, but helplessly ended up promising that I’d arranged a proper get-together where we could all have fun and not worry about time or work.
They guys already were pitching in suggestions. One mentioned an overnight stay at a beach. Another one said, at a certain resort frequented by some local celebrities.
I said we would talk about it at a later time and consider the best place.
So isa-isa ko silang hinatid. Inuna ko ang mga boys kasi mas malapit ang mga tinutuluyan nila.
After that, it was time to drive Candice to her apartment. As I understand, she was sharing a studio-type apartment with a female friend. To be exact, that female friend is a younger sister of Candice’s highschool buddy.
It was more like a favor, as that person was from the province and was taking college here in the city. In order to save for tuition, she was looking for a place to stay without spending too much.
Candice was kind enough to share her place, telling her highschool friend not to worry about her younger sister. She also didn’t ask to be paid.
In return for her kindness, that college student took it upon herself to keep the place clean. Sometimes, she also would take care of Candice’s laundry, and when Candice was too busy with work, she would do the groceries for them. Candice was pretty satisfied with the young lady.
When I stopped by the door to her apartment, Candice didn’t get out of the car right away.
“Boss, do you want to have a couple of drinks with me inside? Don’t worry, my roommate’s not around. We’ll be alone.”
“I don’t think that would be a good idea.” I refused her right away.
She flushed but hesitating a bit, she said.
“I have something serious I wanted to talk to you about.”
I furrowed my brows, wondering what it was that she wanted to tell me.
“Is it about work?”
“Yes, and no.” She said while shaking her head. “But it has something to do with your wife, Sir.”
I was taken aback. I looked straight at her but I still had no idea what it was about.
“Okay.”
I suddenly got curious. Anything about my wife was interesting to me.
We got inside the apartment. The moment I stepped in, I was impressed with how well-maintained the place was.
Candice told me to make myself comfortable in the living room while she got inside one of the rooms to change into more comfortable clothes.
After some time, she returned clad in simple off shoulder shirt and tight shorts.
I know that Candice was a tall lady, almost reaching the bridge of my nose. What I didn’t expect is that she has one hell of a sexy body too. With how little clothing she had below, I could clearly see the outline of her long legs as she walked towards the kitchen area.
She took out a bottle of wine from one of the cabinets, then she bent forward and rummaged the drawers below.
I cleared my throat as I watched her plump ass swaying on air while she was busy looking for something.
It was sure a pleasurable sight, but I was uncomfortable because it brought some weird thoughts to my head.
“You need help?” I asked, trying to distract my eyes from staring too much into her butt.
“Okay lang Sir. Nahanap ko na saan nakatago ang mga wine glasses.”
She smiled and walked back to the living room and sat on the couch beside me. I could instantly smell her sweet perfume with how close we were.
She opened the bottle of wine and poured me a glass. We enjoyed the wine in silence for some time before Candice started to talk.
“Sana pala Sir, sinama na lang natin yung tropa dito at nag-inuman pa tayo.”
“Akala ko ba, may gusto kang sabihin sa akin tungkol sa work… at sa asawa ko?” Agad ko siyang pinutol dahil hindi ako interesado sa ibang bagay.
Candice cleared her throat, seemingly trying hard to organize her thoughts.
“Kasi Sir… h’wag kang mabibigla sa sasabihin ko.” Panimula nyang sabi.
“Last Wednesday kasi, pumunta ako sa Tech Hub para kumunsulta sa design na naisip ng team.”
Tech Hub ang tawag namin sa matayog na building kung saan nag-oopisina si misis kasi andoon rin ang opisina nang tech department ng kumpanya namin. Kumbaga yung mga geek at nerd na magaling sa technology ay andoon.
“I saw your wife and Sir David. Sir David did something…” She looked at me and hesitated for a while.
“...something inappropriate to your wife.”
Nagpanting ang tenga ko sa aking narinig. Naisip ko agad yung narinig ko na sinabi ni Lily na “Pinagbigyan” daw nya si Ninong.
“Inappropriate?” I clarified.
Tumango si Candice.
“Niyakap ni Sir David ang misis mo at tinangkang halikan. Umiwas naman po yung misis nyo kaya sa pisngi lang nya dumampi ang labi ni Sir David. Pero ang nakapagtataka ay hindi naman sya pumalag nang niyakap sya ni Sir David”
“Medyo nasa tagong bahagi sila, pero tanaw ko pa rin ang nangyayari. Hindi ko nga lang marinig kung ano pinag-usapan nila pero mukhang seryoso. Pagkatapos noon ay hinila ni Sir David ang asawa nyo sa isang room. Naghintay ako sandali, mga 10 to 15 minutes, pero hindi na muling bumukas ang pinto.”
“Hindi ko na alam kong gaano sila katagal sa loob dahil umalis na ako after waiting that long. I received a text kasi from Lance, yung design guy na ka-appointment ko, nagtatanong kung ba’t wala pa ako.”
Matagal akong natahimik. I was in deep thought.
“You sure?” I asked.
Tumango si Candice at halatang nagulat sa reaksyon ko. “Hindi po kayo galit, Sir Roger?”
“I am, but my wife’s not around and I can’t ask her” Pagdadahilan ko pa.
“Para kasing in-expect nyo na ang pangyayaring ganito. Nagulat lang ako Sir. Sa totoo lang simula noong lingerie show ay gulong-gulo yung utak ko sa mga nangyari sa inyo sir, ni Lily at yung matandang manyakis na guest sa show, at ngayon kay Sir David na rin dahil sa nasaksihan ko.”
“It’s hard to explain.” I just shook my head, I feel a bit dizzy perhaps because of the combination of the wine and that of Candice’s revelation.
“Hindi ko gustong manghimasok Sir, pero I just thought na dapat malaman mo considering kanina I saw you texting your wife. She was with Sir David pa naman tonight.”
“Thank you for your concern, but my wife and I, may usapan na kami. And I trust her.”

Roger’s POV
----------------
It was now two weeks after Lily’s confession. I learned that Ninong David fucked my wife several times for the two days she was gone.

“I see. I see.” She chuckled and cursed David, “Impressive. That motherfucker still got it. He’s old and his bag of tricks could still hoodwink naive girls. Tsk Tssk.”
After a good laugh she asked me, “But my Boy, are you sure you’re fine with what’s happening?”
“No I’m not, but I’m dealing with it.” I said.
“Your wife is young and easily swayed. Deception is the tool of the crafty.” Caroline sighed. “But I could also be partly blamed. I kept you here for too long to myself, and that gave David the chance to take advantage of your wife.”
In my head I was saying, “Yes you kept me there, and kept fucking me.” Not that I was complaining though.
“No Caroline, the blame’s on me. I am the husband. I should have done a better job.”
“Still, I don’t feel good about this development. I was getting ready to appear before your wife as your second mom. Then this happened.” She confided in frustration.
Then as if making a decision, she added. “Nevermind. Since that old bastard was so eager to claim credit, shouldn’t we make him suffer a bit? What do you think, Roger?”
“What do you mean?” I asked curiously.
“Just wait for another news. This time it should be a better one for you and your wife.” With that she said goodbye and disconnected, but not before teasing me first.
What could she mean? I was momentarily thinking of what she would do. Not having any ideas, I decided to go back inside the house.
Not knowing why I did it, but I actually went inside discreetly. It was like I was sneaking in to my own house.
I felt ridiculous and stupid but then I saw my wife talking to someone over the phone. By the conversation, I realized who the other person was at the end of the line.
“Wow, thank you talaga ninong ha?” My wife was happily chatting. She didn’t see me coming in as she was busy with her conversation.
I decided not to disturb them and instead found a spot where I could not be seen from her vantage point.
I perked my ears and tried to eavesdrop, careful not to miss any part of their conversation.
A minute or so afterwards, my wife’s face turned red, then her voice became soft as if she was whispering.
But I was still able to hear her say, “No, don’t say that. I’m not alone, Roger was just here.”
Luminga pa sya sa pintuan to see if sarado pa.
Nang masiguradong sarado pa nga ay, nagpatuloy sila sa usapan nilang dalawa.
“No, I couldn’t. I told you, ninong. Pinagbigyan na kita sa office kanina. I already promised my husband. It’s still a NO!”
Nagpanting ang tenga ko sa aking narinig. Tama ba yung narinig ko? May nangyari sa kanila ng asawa ko sa office kanina lang?
It was Wednesday, and I was held back by something at the office so I texted my wife that I’d be a bit late in picking her up.
Nang dumating ako sa opisina nya, wala naman akong napansing kakaiba. Dahil medyo tahimik na, nagtanong pa nga ako kung nasaan na si Ninong because I was planning to greet him on the way out.
But my wife told me that Ninong left the office early due to a client. I remember seeing the light inside Ninong’s office was still on, pero hindi na ako nagtaka baka nga nakalimutan lang i turn-off.
But apparently, nandoon nga siguro si Ninong sa loob ng opisina at may ginawa sila ng asawa ko bago ako dumating. “Pinagbigyan” yan ang narinig ko na pagkakasabi ni Lily.
Agad gumana ang malikot kong imahinasyon at inisip ang anumang posibleng mangyari sa loob ng kwarenta y singko minutos. Forty-five minutes akong na-late sa pagsundo sa asawa ko kanina.
Nagpaalam ako sa kanya, so alam ni Lily na matatagalan ako sa pagsundo sa kanya.
45 minutes. Sobrang enough time ito for a blowjob. Laplapan? Kain ng puke? Pwedeng-pwede rin.
Kantutan? Naisip ko na kasyang kasya ang oras, baka nga dalawang putukan pa. Bwiset!
Umigkas na naman ang burat ko sa naisip kong kalaswaan.
“Sorry, ninong pero I already decided na tama na ang mga nangyari. I hope you could respect my wish. I don’t want my husband to misunderstand. So please.”
I heard my wife say. She was very firm and for a while I felt ashamed of myself. Here I was, getting aroused while thinking of my wife getting fucked by ninong.
But my wife was actually trying to set things straight. What she said was her telling Ninong that she would not betray me.
Babe, do I still deserve your love? Para akong binuhusan ng malamig na tubig. I should also stop thinking about dirty things.
With guilt gnawing at me, I tiptoed and silently went outside once more.
Pretending to have just returned, I opened the door once again, but loudly this time, as if to announce my return.
My wife turned her head instantly the moment I came in.
I smiled at her and asked, “Babe, you're busy?”
“Nope.” Lily had a wide smile as she replied. “I just talked to ninong to thank him. Why?”
“Matagal na tayong hindi lumalabas. How about ipag-shopping kita? O magpunta tayo sa hair saloon?” Sabi ko.
“Talaga Babe?” Lumundag sa tuwa ang asawa ko sabay yakap sa akin. “Thank you, Babe. Ngayon na?”
“Sure. Let’s go today.” I said.
The rest of the night ay ginawa ko ang lahat para pasayahin ang misis ko. Kumbaga nag-date kami na parang noong magsyota pa lang kami. Dahil nga sa dami ng mga nangyari since the honeymoon, samahan pa nang busy naming work schedule, ay hindi namin masyado na-i-enjoy ang mag-relax na kami lang dalawa.
Mahigit tatlong na oras kami sa hair saloon, at naisipan din ni misis na magpatina ng buhok- for a change daw. She picked auburn-colored combination na bagay na bagay naman sa fair complexion nya.
Pagkatapos mag-saloon ay binilhan ko sya ng mga bagong damit, kasama na syempre ang mga sexy intimate wears. Then, kumain kami sa isang mamahaling restaurant, at sa huli ay nanood ng last full show sa sinehan.
All in all, it was worth it. We needed a break and personally, I wanted to treat my wife because I just felt that I had neglected her.
---------------------------
Two days later, Friday, after kong ihatid si Lily sa office ay nagsabi syang h’wag ko na siyang hintayin sa gabi dahil may meeting daw sila with a client, out of town.
They’ll be using the company car naman so safe ang pag-uwi nya. Hindi nga lang siya sigurado kung anong oras matatapos ang meeting so mabuti pa daw na sa bahay ko na siya hintayin.
“Ganoon ba?” I kissed my wife goodbye and smiled. “Okay, basta kung may problema, tawag ka agad sa akin ha?”
“Okay, Babe. I will.” She smiled and hugged me before she walked inside the elevator.
The rest of the day naging busy din ako sa trabaho. After nang business trip ko abroad, I was told by HR that I would be promoted.
Today, the official announcement finally came through. So that night, we had an impromptu mini-celebration with my team.
We went to a posh resto bar with Candice and the rest of the guys sa team ko. There are 5 people in my team, excluding me- dalawang babae at tatlong lalaki.
Yung isang babae si Dana, 28 years old ay isang maybahay na may isang anak. Morena, matalino, at palangiti. Maganda rin ito. Ang mister nito, I believe ay nagtatrabaho sa airport security. Hindi lang ako sigurado kung anong designation nya.
Sa mga lalaki naman, ako pa lang ang may asawa na. Si Luke, Jude, and Troy ay parehong mga binata at nasa early twenties pa lang.
Initially, gusto kung dalhin sila sa isang restaurant para kumain lang, pero ang gusto ng team ko ay uminom daw kami, kaya naman naghanap kami ng resto at hinayaan ko sila sa gusto nila.
Medyo naparami kami ng inom dahil nga sa nag celebrate kami sa promotion ko. At 10 pm, with my insistence ay umalis na kami sa bar. Before that, nauna nang umalis si Dana dahil sinundo ng mister nya bandang alas-nuebe ng gabi.
Paglabas namin ng bar ay napansin kong medyo malakas pala ang ulan, di kasi dinig sa loob dahil nandoon din kami sa may sulok.
Kaagad kong kinuha ang cellphone ko to text my wife. Ayun may dalawang messages na pala si misis sa akin. Yung una, mga alas-sais which is around the time we were already in the bar. Ang pangalawa ay forty minutes ago.
I read the first text and it was her congratulating me about the promotion.
“Babe, congrats!” sabi pa nya. “We’re having dinner with the client. After this, we’ll be wrapping up the details of our cooperation. Then I’ll try to be home early to celebrate with you. Love you.”
I smiled while reading her message. I then looked at the second one.
“Babe, ang lakas ng ulan dito. I don’t think makakauwi ako dahil umapaw daw yung creek at hindi madadaanan yung tulay going out of the city. Sorry, I’ll make it up to you tomorrow. The client was kind enough to offer us free accommodation, so don’t worry about me.”
Although she told me not to worry, I was still a bit worried. So I tried to call her, but her phone was out of reach.
It must be the weather, sabi ko sa sarili ko. Maging ako man ay nahihirapan ding kumuha ng signal.
I decided to leave her a text, saying that I’m fine and that she should take care of herself. I also told her that I had just gone out with my team, and that I was already heading home.
Since I was only the one with a car, I told everyone to come with me and I’d bring them all home.
Candice sat on the passenger seat while the men settled themselves at the back. The guys were complaining, in a good-natured way, that they hadn’t had enough fun yet. They wanted us to visit more bars and drink more.
I laughed at their antics, but helplessly ended up promising that I’d arranged a proper get-together where we could all have fun and not worry about time or work.
They guys already were pitching in suggestions. One mentioned an overnight stay at a beach. Another one said, at a certain resort frequented by some local celebrities.
I said we would talk about it at a later time and consider the best place.
So isa-isa ko silang hinatid. Inuna ko ang mga boys kasi mas malapit ang mga tinutuluyan nila.
After that, it was time to drive Candice to her apartment. As I understand, she was sharing a studio-type apartment with a female friend. To be exact, that female friend is a younger sister of Candice’s highschool buddy.
It was more like a favor, as that person was from the province and was taking college here in the city. In order to save for tuition, she was looking for a place to stay without spending too much.
Candice was kind enough to share her place, telling her highschool friend not to worry about her younger sister. She also didn’t ask to be paid.
In return for her kindness, that college student took it upon herself to keep the place clean. Sometimes, she also would take care of Candice’s laundry, and when Candice was too busy with work, she would do the groceries for them. Candice was pretty satisfied with the young lady.
When I stopped by the door to her apartment, Candice didn’t get out of the car right away.
“Boss, do you want to have a couple of drinks with me inside? Don’t worry, my roommate’s not around. We’ll be alone.”
“I don’t think that would be a good idea.” I refused her right away.
She flushed but hesitating a bit, she said.
“I have something serious I wanted to talk to you about.”
I furrowed my brows, wondering what it was that she wanted to tell me.
“Is it about work?”
“Yes, and no.” She said while shaking her head. “But it has something to do with your wife, Sir.”
I was taken aback. I looked straight at her but I still had no idea what it was about.
“Okay.”
I suddenly got curious. Anything about my wife was interesting to me.
We got inside the apartment. The moment I stepped in, I was impressed with how well-maintained the place was.
Candice told me to make myself comfortable in the living room while she got inside one of the rooms to change into more comfortable clothes.
After some time, she returned clad in simple off shoulder shirt and tight shorts.
I know that Candice was a tall lady, almost reaching the bridge of my nose. What I didn’t expect is that she has one hell of a sexy body too. With how little clothing she had below, I could clearly see the outline of her long legs as she walked towards the kitchen area.
She took out a bottle of wine from one of the cabinets, then she bent forward and rummaged the drawers below.
I cleared my throat as I watched her plump ass swaying on air while she was busy looking for something.
It was sure a pleasurable sight, but I was uncomfortable because it brought some weird thoughts to my head.
“You need help?” I asked, trying to distract my eyes from staring too much into her butt.
“Okay lang Sir. Nahanap ko na saan nakatago ang mga wine glasses.”
She smiled and walked back to the living room and sat on the couch beside me. I could instantly smell her sweet perfume with how close we were.
She opened the bottle of wine and poured me a glass. We enjoyed the wine in silence for some time before Candice started to talk.
“Sana pala Sir, sinama na lang natin yung tropa dito at nag-inuman pa tayo.”
“Akala ko ba, may gusto kang sabihin sa akin tungkol sa work… at sa asawa ko?” Agad ko siyang pinutol dahil hindi ako interesado sa ibang bagay.
Candice cleared her throat, seemingly trying hard to organize her thoughts.
“Kasi Sir… h’wag kang mabibigla sa sasabihin ko.” Panimula nyang sabi.
“Last Wednesday kasi, pumunta ako sa Tech Hub para kumunsulta sa design na naisip ng team.”
Tech Hub ang tawag namin sa matayog na building kung saan nag-oopisina si misis kasi andoon rin ang opisina nang tech department ng kumpanya namin. Kumbaga yung mga geek at nerd na magaling sa technology ay andoon.
“I saw your wife and Sir David. Sir David did something…” She looked at me and hesitated for a while.
“...something inappropriate to your wife.”
Nagpanting ang tenga ko sa aking narinig. Naisip ko agad yung narinig ko na sinabi ni Lily na “Pinagbigyan” daw nya si Ninong.
“Inappropriate?” I clarified.
Tumango si Candice.
“Niyakap ni Sir David ang misis mo at tinangkang halikan. Umiwas naman po yung misis nyo kaya sa pisngi lang nya dumampi ang labi ni Sir David. Pero ang nakapagtataka ay hindi naman sya pumalag nang niyakap sya ni Sir David”
“Medyo nasa tagong bahagi sila, pero tanaw ko pa rin ang nangyayari. Hindi ko nga lang marinig kung ano pinag-usapan nila pero mukhang seryoso. Pagkatapos noon ay hinila ni Sir David ang asawa nyo sa isang room. Naghintay ako sandali, mga 10 to 15 minutes, pero hindi na muling bumukas ang pinto.”
“Hindi ko na alam kong gaano sila katagal sa loob dahil umalis na ako after waiting that long. I received a text kasi from Lance, yung design guy na ka-appointment ko, nagtatanong kung ba’t wala pa ako.”
Matagal akong natahimik. I was in deep thought.
“You sure?” I asked.
Tumango si Candice at halatang nagulat sa reaksyon ko. “Hindi po kayo galit, Sir Roger?”
“I am, but my wife’s not around and I can’t ask her” Pagdadahilan ko pa.
“Para kasing in-expect nyo na ang pangyayaring ganito. Nagulat lang ako Sir. Sa totoo lang simula noong lingerie show ay gulong-gulo yung utak ko sa mga nangyari sa inyo sir, ni Lily at yung matandang manyakis na guest sa show, at ngayon kay Sir David na rin dahil sa nasaksihan ko.”
“It’s hard to explain.” I just shook my head, I feel a bit dizzy perhaps because of the combination of the wine and that of Candice’s revelation.
“Hindi ko gustong manghimasok Sir, pero I just thought na dapat malaman mo considering kanina I saw you texting your wife. She was with Sir David pa naman tonight.”
“Thank you for your concern, but my wife and I, may usapan na kami. And I trust her.”
