VIVIAN

Habang masaya kaming nagdadaldalan nina Amara at Noel, napansin ko ang tila pag-iiba ng mood ni Courtney. Bigla na lang siyang tumahimik habang seryosong nakatingin sa cellphone niya. Once in a blue moon lang nag-iiba ang mood niya pero nakakatakot 'tong si Courtney. Mukha lang talagang anghel pero may pagka-demonyita talaga siya.

Kinalabit ko ang busy sa pagbabalat ng sunkist na si Amara at saka binulungan siya tungkol sa napansin ko.

"Ame, look at Courtney..." mahinang sabi ko.

"Why?" takang tanong niya,

"Just look at her,"

Tumingin naman si Amara sa direksyon ni Courtney at nagkibit balikat, "hayaan mo na lang siya, narerecharge lang yan para mamaya may maikwento sa atin. Para namang hindi mo kilala 'yang si Court-Court."

"Baka nga," nagkibit balikat na lang din ako sa kung ano man ang napansin ko. "Ame, paki-abot maman yung phone ko, salamat" pakisuyo ko kay Amara.

Iniabot niya sa akin kaagad ang cellphone ko na mula pa kahapon ay hindi ko pa nahahawakan.

I've decided to freshen up my mind, hindi maganda ang nangyari sa akin nitong nakalipas na araw.

I deserve to take a break, gusto ko rin makipagkamustahan sa mga fans ko. Matagal-tagal na rin kasi akong hindi nakakapag-upload ng vlogs ko. Share ko lang, nasa 500,000 na ang followers ko.

I wanna upload new photo sana but something caught my attention. It was Enrique's IG story....

This is the first time na mag-upload siya ng ganyan. He is usually offline, may mga social media account,
but he's inactive inshort, wala siyang pakielam. Ganoon namin siya nakilala at sa pagiging misteryoso niya na-in love si Amara.

Nacurious ako sa kung ano man ang nilalaman ng IG story niya. And to my surprise, my jaw almost drop, my eyes widen,  shock and amusement take over my entire emotion.

That photo is a bomb, it was uploaded 5 minutes ago.

A black and white photo of a woman.

... a nude photo rather...

A nude photo of a girl's back, nakatalikod ito at para bang mahimbing ang tulog. May birthmark na crown-shaped ang babae sa photo at may nunal sa bandang batok.

I can't imagine Enrique posting this kind of photo.

Usually, once in a blue moon siya magpost at mag-IG Story, karaniwan sa mga pinopost niya ay ang mga drawing niya na anime at portrait ng iba't ibang artista. Madalas nagpopost din siya ng photo about sa kumpanya ng Papa niya, liban doon wala na.

Kinda weird and I don't want Amara to see this, iiyak nanaman ang babaeng 'yon. Sobra niyang gusto si Enrique to the fact na lahat ng lalaki na sumubok manligaw sa kanya, nirereject niya.

Matagal ko ring tinitigan at binalik-balikan ang IG Story ni Enrique, I am still in shock. Mali yata ang pagkakakilala ko sa kanya.

Ewan ko ba...

Kasi kanina lang, we're talking about Enrique and Athena. Sabi ng boyfriend ko nawawala si Athena at si Enrique lang ang kasama niya.

So...

Sh*t....

This can't be....

Si Athena kaya 'yon?

TROY

I was really upset, wala pang balita tungkol sa paghahanap ng mga tauhan ko kay Athena. Muli kong sinubukan na tawagan siya pero walang sumasagot, ni isa sa mga messages ko hindi rin siya sumasagot. Ano na ba ang nangyayari? Where are you Athena?

"Kailangan may gawin na ako," usal ko matapos ko lagukin ang huling patak ng alak sa kopita ko.

Naririto ako sa kusina at nag-iisa habang nakasandal sa may island counter.

"Really drinking and getting drunk? Aba mahahanap mo nga si Athena sa ginagawa mo..."

Isang pang-babaeng boses ang narinig ko, liningon ko ang pinanggalingan nito at nakita ko ang naka-crossed arms na si Courtney at matalim ang mga tingin nito sa akin.

"Courtney ikaw pala," ani ko saka ko ibinaba ang kopita sa island counter. "Come, join me here."

"Alam ko na kung nasaan si Athena," hindi pa rin naalis ang talim ng tingin niya sa akin.

This Courtney's other personality really turn me on, I kinda like her sweet side pero I always choose this palaban side of Courtney.

"Aren't you aware na si Enrique ang kasama ni Athena?" dahan-dahan itong lumapit sa akin.

"Aware ako, kaya nga nagtalaga na ako ng mga tao para hanapin sila." I saw Courtney rolled her eyes.

"Madrigal's ancestral home, Valerian Village,Taguig City" anito.

"Huh?" takang sambit ko.

"Nandon sina Enrique at Athena, and I swear na hindi mo magugustuhan ang nangyari, even Amara kung siya mismo ang makakakita." tuloy tuloy na sabi ni Courtney na pinagtakahan ko.

"What are you talking about?" takang tanong ko.

"It is for you to find out Troy," aniya saka niya iniabot ang cellphone niya, "Look..."

Agad ko namang kinuha ang cellphone niya.

My jaw almost dropped when I saw the photo of a naked girl's back in Enrique's Ig. story.

That crown-shaped birthmark...

That mole...

Isang tao lang ang kakilala ko na meron non, ang kakaibang hugis ng birthmark pati na ang buhay niyang nunal sa batok.

"I'm not really sure if that's Athena, that's why I came here to check kung tama ako" naging malambot ang boses niya na kanina ay seryoso.

"Nag-aalala ako na baka siya nga 'yan, we really don't know Enrique that much. Even tho he's our friend and part of our squad for the long time. Mahirap siya na pagkatiwalaan, he always seems so silent and he also seems to hide a lot of secrets," she added.

Muli kong sinipat ang likod ng babae sa litrato, at nasigurado akong si Athena nga ang nasa ig story ng gagong Enrique. May namuong galit sa kaibutoran ko.

Pakiramdam ko ay pinagtaksilan ako ng sarili kong kaibigan. Malaki pa naman ang tiwala na ibinigay ko kasi akala ko iba siya, may tinatago pa lang libog sa katawan ang tarantadong 'yon.

"I won't let Amara see this, kaya naman kinausap ko na si Enrique to delete it. I just took a  screenshot of it para ipakita sa'yo, I know you,  you're very eager kasi nga pinagkatiwalaan ka ng mga magulang ni Athena. I dont really want to jump in to a conclusion Troy but maaring he forced Athena to do that. Ano bang malay natin 'diba?" litanya ni Courtney, she seems to worried as I am.

Pinilit ko na pakalmahin ang sarili pero hindi mawala sa akin ang magtaka at magtanong. How can he do that thing to Athena?

Alam ko na Athena won't allow any man to touch him, kaya niyang makipagsapakan at makipagpatayan h'wag lang siyang mahawakan. She used to worked sa El Timur, she even knew how to handle and eliminates every man and their sexual desire.

Imposible ang sinasabi ni Courtney pero...

Ano 'yung litrato na 'yon?

There's a part of me na nagsasabing that wasn't Athena pero mas malakas ang kutob ko dahil sa balat sa likod ng balikat niya, pati na ang nunal sa batok niya.

ATHENA

After staring how gorgeous I am on the mirror, I decided to sat on the golden canopy bed.

"Sayang ang magandang higaan na ito, kung wala rin namang magandang mangyayari," usal ko.

I will not going miss this once in a life time opportunity without something happening between Enrique and me.

I turned around when the door opened, my precious Enrique finaly arrived.

I ran towards him and kisses him immediately, I know he was a bit surprised because of what I did. He didn't move for a while but as soon as he get over from his shock, he immediately kiss me back.

I smile between kisses, I  was happy that I turned him on. Boys will always be boys,kahit na sabihan pa natin na tatahi-tahimik ang isang 'to. Kahit na mukha siyang go-good boy good boy, kapag umariba ang lust hidni niya kayang pigilin iyon.

When he finally regained his consciousness, and realize what I wanted to do. Enrique stares at me with full of passion, he grabbed my waist and kiss me passionately. He also accompanied the movement of my lips.

He leaned me against the wall, gamit ang isang kamay ay marahas niyang isinara ang pintuan . I like the way he holds me, I can feel his full desire as he caresses my waist, his hand goes down to my seat and he caresses it I slightly I jumped and without hesitation, I wrapped my leg around his waist.

He walked to the bed without letting go of my lips, he slowly and carefully leans me on the bed. He grabbed my arm to stop Enrique from moving and stared at me as if he's wondering what is happening to me.

"What?" iritableng tanong ko.

"Are you okay?" he asked. He look worried.

Napairap nalang ako nang marinig ko ang tanong niya.

I stared at him, he was really worried.I only want his manh*d inside me, and his cm to fill me. I know he also wants this, ang dami niya pang arte. I already lost my short patience. I pushed him away and stood up I was about to take a step when he took my arms.

"Where are you going?" He asked in with a soft voice.

"Do you want me or not?" I said without looking at him

I was shocked when he pulled me and make me sit on his lap, I was about to stand up when he grabbed my waist to sit down again, I looked at him badly and suddenly he kissede with full of passion and lust, visible on his eyes.

"I want you so badly Athena" he said as our lips parted

"Then dont dare to ask fucking stupid questions, and just do what you've wanted" I answered and kissed him torridly.

Gradually I felt the touch of his hand on my chest I felt the sensation that enveloped my body, I could not help but look up and grunt.He took advantage of this opportunity to nibble on my neck and then he slowly unzip my clothes at the same time as he lowered his kiss on my chest with the thrill of sensation enveloping our body we quickly took off the rest of our body covering.

He immediately grabbed my waist and laid me on the bed he came out and stared at my whole being.

I love how Enrique stare at me, I can see on his eyes the desire and lust that he's stoping him right from the start.

I don't know why I felt ashamed so I slightly moved my legs closer, covering my face and chest. Teasing him secretly with a naughty smirk on my face

ENRIQUE

I was amazed at Athena's actions but the heat of my feeling prevailed even more. While staring at her body I could not help but be especially fascinated by her.

Her arms and hand covered his body even further intensified the session I was feeling. I touched his leg causing him to sigh and bite his lip.

"Shhh... its okay baby girl, that's normal," I said while I was on top of her. She bites her lip and I feel that she will seduce me even more.

I reclaimed her very soft lips at the same time as I held her body freely. He growled at every hold I made on his body.

In between kisses, I didn't hesitate to separate her legs apart from each other to welcome my hard shaft. Slowly I entered my manh**d with her's,suddenly Athena's grip tightened on me.

"E-Enrique..." she muttered

"Shhhh... don't worry I'll move gently baby girl " I said in a soft voice.

"Enrique, I want you..."

I kinda want to teased Athena, that's why I deccellerated the movement of my body on top of her, she was exhausted with every move I made.

"E-Enrique.... I can't help it, Don't tease me please" She pleaded."Fill me with your smn please..."

I quickly followed what she wanted to happen and soon we felt the peak of happiness. Her voice as she moan my name is like a music to my ears.

" Hmm... Enrique..."

"Iam going to release it baby... Do you want it inside?"

"G-Go on... mmm..."

I felt the taste of our solitude.

When I was able to get on top of her, I kissed her forehead. Athena quickly fell asleep tired, I could not help but stare at her beauty.

I know I did the wrong thing by taking advantage of Athena's weakness but I can't control how I feel for her.

COURTNEY

Literally, my jaw just drop after seeing Enrique's Ig Story.

Malakas ang kutob ko na that girl is Athena...

Hindi ko ngayon alam ang mararamdaman ko ngayon.

Halo-halo ang emosyon ko...

Sinulyapan ko ang mga kasama ko, at napako ang tingin ko kay Vivian na nasa hospital bed at seryosong nakatingin sa cellphone niya.

Hindi ko mawari kung ano ang reaksyon niya, pero malakas ang kutob ko na nakita niya na din Ig story ni Enrique...

I am scrolling thru my social media para tignan kung naka-online ba si Enrique. I badly wanna talk to him para malaman ko kung si Athena ba ang kasama niya, I wanna know also kung anong balak niya sa dalawang kaibigan ko na posibleng pag-agawam siya. Saka ko pupuntahan si Troy to seek help kapag may napatunayan na ako.

May kung anong galit na namumuo sa dibdib ko, galit at lungkot para sa dalawa kong kaibigan na involved sa iisang lalaki.

"Vi, Ame, Noel, uuwi na muna ako. I just receive a message from my mom. " pagsisinungaling ko...

I'm so sorry guys...

"Go, baka importante 'yan." ani Vivian.

"Baka bukas na ako makabalik, Vi. I'm sorry," ani ko.

"No, It's okay baka makalabas na rin naman ako bukas." nakangiti niyang sabi,

Ngumiti lang ako saka bumeso sa kanilang dalawa, tinapik ko naman si Noel bago ako lumabas.

Nang makalabas ako ay agad kong tinawagan si Enrique...

I hope he pick it...

Naka-ilang rin pa before he finally pick his phone

"H-Hey Courtney," his husky voice, sa tantsya ko ay kagigising nya lang.

"Enrique, we need to talk..."

"About?"

"Your Ig story..."

"Oh...nakita mo na pala." Mahina siyang tumawa,

"Delete it now!" utos ko sa kanya, pinipigilan ko ang magalit.

Ineeexpect ko naman na kasi na maiipit at maiipit ako sa gulong ito whether I like it or not.

"Why would I delete that? And why do you sound so angry?" anito.

"You know how much Amara likes you diba? And then, mawawala ka na parang bula and then magpopost ka ng nude pics ng isang girl. Baliw ka ba? Sa tingin mo anong maiisip ni Amara kapag nakita niya 'yon."

"Amara again? How many times do I need to reject her? She's just my friend,"

"How insensitive you are, Enrique?"

"Tumawag ka ba Court, just to discuss this thing, at pagalitan ako?"

"Yes, and also about your Ig story... Umamin ka si Athena ba 'yon?"

Matagal bago siya nakasagot, isang buntong hininga ang narinig ko bago siya nagsalita...

"Yeah, that's Athena..."

Tila may mga dagang naghabulan sa dibdib ko...

"Anong ginawa mo kay Athena?Ba-Bakit..."

"I know, magagalit kayo... But... Nangyari na eh, don't worry iuuwi ko na si Athena , mamaya. Hihintayin ko lang siya na magising."

"Nasaan ka? Saan mo siya dinala?"

"I'll message you the address but Courtney, may I have a little favor please..."

"Anong pabor?"

"Don't tell anyone, especially Amara sa nalaman mo. It's hard to explain, hindi ko rin alam kung bakit kami umabot sa punto na may mamagitan sa amin."

"Hindi ko kayang mangako... Alam mo na pareho kong kaibigan sina Athena at Amara."

"I see..."

ENRIQUE

After that steamy moment that I've shared with Athena. I feel like this is a dream come true but there's a part of myself that is guilty for what happened.

Umupo ako at sumandal sa headboard ng kama, matapos kong i-end ang tawag ni Courtney, minasdan ko ang babaeng ngayon ay nahihimbing sa tabi ko.

I can't help but to deepen my attraction and eagerness just to get her. I take a photo of her in every angle. I combed Athena's hair, she was still sound asleep while lying on other side of the bed.

"I love you, I really do..." Hinagkan ko siya sa labi.

Unti-unti ay naramdaman ko ang paggalaw niya, at pagbukas ng mata niya.

"Good morning baby," I lively greeted Athena.

There was a look of shock on her face when she woke up, her eyes widen.

"E-Enrique?" She said in shock

Athena got up and when she realized she was naked she quickly pulled the blanket to cover up herself.

"M-Mali.... M-Mali ito... Hindi ito dapat mangyari,"

I can see see the trace of disgust on her face na para bang ako lang ang may gusto ng nangyari sa aming dalawa.

"Athena..." I said as I tried to touch Athena but she avoided it.

"Don't you dare to touch me!" She shouted at tinalikuran ako. "This is wrong Enrique, this is wrong..."

"What are you talking about?" I asked as I put on my boxers back. I walk towards her front, at pinilit na kausapin siya.

"Athena..."

"Ano na lang ang sasabihin ni Amara sa akin? Nila Vivian, ni Courtney at ng iba pa..."

"Hindi kita maintindihan..."

"Hindi dapat nangyari ito Enrique!" Athena raises the tone of her voice.

Honestly, I was hurt by what she said. Last night, Athena said that she needed me, pero ngayon she doesnt want me to touch here.

Ang gulo...

"Iuwi mo na ako... Baka nag-aaalala na si Troy." her expression turns dull. She release a deep sigh,

"Sige, I'll just take a quick shower... take a bath too," I said as I leave the room.

ATHENA

Malambot na labi na dumampi sa mga labi ko ang siyang nagpagising sa akin.

Nagtataka akong tinignan ang sarili ko...

Wala akong saplot....

Ganon rin ang lalaki na nasa tabi ko...

Tila binuhusan ako ng malamig na tubig nang marealize ko at maalala ko na kani-kanina lang ay may namagitan sa aming dalawa ni Enrique.Hindi ko alam kung paanong sisi ang gagawin ko sa sarili ko.

Sinulyapan ko ang kaninang malinis na kwarto, na ngayon ay magulo na. Nagkalat ang mga damit ko, maging ang panloob ko.

Nang maka-alis si Enrique ay muli kong tinignan ang sarili ko sa salamin.

"Ava lumabas ka... Ava!"

Unti-unting nag-unahan sa pagbagsak ang mga luha ko. Alam kong kahit na anong gawin ko, hindi ko maitatago ang minsang pagkakamali na ito.

Walang Ava, h'wag ka nang mansisi ng iba. Si Ava, patay na siya, wala na siya Ikaw Athena, ikaw ang may kasalanan nito.

Pilit kong pinapakalma ang sarili ko, ngunit sa bawat pagpigil ko ay lalong sumisidhi ang pagkaguilty ko.

Tinungo ko ang banyo na nasa loob nitong kwarto, para maligo. Gusto kong burahin ang bawat alaala ng pagdampi ng labi at pag-iisa ng katawan namin ni Enrique kagabi.

"Ano bang pumasok sa isipan mo Athena..."

Hindi ko mapigilan ang mga luha ko sa pagpatak, naiinis ako sa sarili ko...

Sa bawat haplos ko sa balat ko, ang kagabing eksena ang naaalala ko. Hindi ko maiwasan na saktan at sampal-sampalin na rin ang sarili ko .

Gaga ka kasi Athena.

Matapos kong maligo at magpatuyo ng sarili ay muli akong humarap sa salamin.

"Anong inaarte mo?"

"Tumigil ka! Tigilan mo ang panggulo sa buhay ko"

"No! why would I? Like what I've said Athena, iisa tayong dalawa."

"Tigilan mo ako! Masaya na ang buhay ko Ava..."

"Final answer Athena? Bahala ka ikaw rin, baka kailanganin mo ako. Diba gagantihan mo pa si Papa Sky?"

Natigilan ako sa sinabi ni Ava

"Now what? Napapa-isip ka,"

Sasagot sana ako ngunit narinig kong may biglang nagsalita...

"Señorita Athena, narito po ang damit ninyo. Iiwanan ko na po ito sa ibabaw ng kama.

Lumapit ako sa may pintuan at iniawang ito, "Sige po ate, Salamat" ani ko.

Nang maka-alis si Ate na kasambahay nila Enrique ay lumabas na ako mula sa banyo pata magbihis. Nakita ko ang isang paper bag na may naka imprintang "Chanel" sa ibabaw ng kama ko

"Enrique had a great taste, mamahalin ang damit na binigay niya sa'yo. H'wag na kaya tayong umuwi, para naman nadidiligan ako lagi."

"Manahimik ka!"

"Fine, sige na. Magdress up ka muna, init agad ng ulo eh."

Isang casual off-shoulder dress na above the knee ang haba at kulay itim na flat doll shoes ang laman ng paper bag. Mayroon na ring undergarment sa isa pang paper bag. Agad ko itong isinuot at matapos ay pinulot ko ang mga nagkalat na maruming damit ko sa sahig. Iniayos ko na rin ang kamang pinaghigaan ko.

"Alright Athena, iwanan mo na ang alaala na dapat iwanan, mamaya kapag naka-uwi ka na. Balik tayo sa dating gawi." sabi ko habang nakatingin sa salamin.

"No I wont let you Athena, the memory of how you moan Enrique's name will always hunt you!"

"Tumahimik ka Ava!"

"Athena, tara na uuwi na tayo."

Isang pamilyar na boses ang pumukaw sa atenyon ko, nilingon ko ang direksyon kung saan nanggaling ang boses...

Isang babaeng matangkad at mahaba ang kulay kayumanggi ang buhok ang tumambad sa akin. Medyo singkit siya at maganda ang hubog ng katawan, nakasuot ito ng isang croptop na off shoulder na kulay blue at isang denim skirt na above the knee ang haba.

Magiliw itong ngumiti nang lingonin ko siya.

"Courtney..."
