บท 80: Romance on the Sky (3)

"Ahem!" Seeing the two got flabbergasted with what just happened, si Manong pilot na ang nagclear throat para matauhan ang dalawa. Ang totoo kasi, nadidstract na siya sa pagpipiloto dahil sa loob loob niya, sobrang kilig na rin si Manong. He almost coughed blood nang maaninag niya na nagdikit ang mga labi ng dalawa. Muntik niya na ngang mabitawan ang kambyo.

At this moment, both Bea and Cody were pulled from their reveries. However both their eyes quickly averted each other as though nothing happened between them. But nah… they couldn't deny it. Their bodies couldn't!

"S-sorry. Hehe." Cody magnanimously scratched his head then threw a wavering smile. His fingers were actually quivering and at the same time sweating tremendously.

"Oh-oh." Hiyang hiya namang napatango si Bea. Ngunit kahit ilang ulit niyang itapon ang isipan sa ibang bagay, her eyes always end on to Cody's tender lips na slowly moistened by his tongue. Dugdug! She felt choke nang maaninag ang marahan at malagkit na pagbasa ng dila ng binata sa kanyang babang labi. Shoot! Her knees trembled at nanghina na tila ba hinugot ang kanyang matres. Did she ever have the strength to resist such lustful temptation? No! Hindi niya kaya. Paunti unti at pasimple niyang sinusulyapan ang inosenteng mga labi ni Cody as she wondered kung anong feeling na mailapat ng husto ang kanyang mga labi sa matamis na mga lips ng binata. Grabe ate girl! Parang nangmamaniac ka na ah. Tama na. Chill na. Baka saan ka mapunta eh.

However, her gazed was snatched by petals strangely falling from the clear sky. Her reddened face immediately leaned on the window and found herself astonished. Her mouth broke and fell with her eyes popped out! Tumindig bigla ang kanyang balahibo kasabay nang paglukso ng kanyang puso.

Thousands of pink rose petals endlessly falling from the sky!

"Woah." Napanganga nalang si Bea at napatingala sa taas hanggang sa makita ang dalawang malaking hot air balloons na pinagmumulan ng mga bulaklak. Her heart suddenly melted with such precious surprise. This was so sweet. Napakapit nalang siya sa kanyang dibdib hanggang sa kumalma ang pagtibok ng kanyang puso.

At this instant, napabaling ang mga mata ng dalaga sa katabi niyang binata, only to see Cody already smiling towards her. Sino pa ba naman ang may gawa nito kundi si Cody.

"You like it?" Such glistening smile hugged the whole heart of the young girl. Cody hovered his hand hanggang mailapat ito sa palad ng dalaga. Marahan niya itong itinaas at dahan-dahang inilapat sa kanyang mga labi.

"My princess." Dugton ni Cody mula sa kanyang malalim na boses hanggang sa isang nakapang-aakit na ngiti ang kanyang isinuot nang tumingin sa dalaga.

Dugdug! The young girl's heart thumped beyond her breath could catch up. The warm feeling circled her whole body na tila ba isang kanlungan niya na ang mga matatamis na salita ni Cody. Feeling the gushed of his breath on the back of her hand, hinigpitan niya na rin ang kanyang pagkapit sa kamay ng binata.

"Mmm. Yes, my prince." She tilted her head slightly then with her purest soul, she sweetly smiled Cody. With a very minimal movement, she gently leaned her head on the young man's broad shoulder as she threw her looked on the pink petals gracefully falling from the sky.

"Thank you. Hindi ko inaasahan na sa loob ng buhay ko makalilipad ako sa langit. And never in my life would expect that I would see such beautiful view." Bea's soft voice resounded on the young man's ear. Cody's hand softly caressed her ears as they watched such fairy tale. He couldn't really stop his lips from curving when his eyes smiled with such sweetness.

"My princess…" His deep voice lingered on her ears. Napatingin si Bea sa mukha ni Cody at hinintay ang sasabihin nito. Cody's look was so gentle when just staring at it would plunge you in extreme tranquillity.

Napalunok si Cody habang inisip kung paano sasabihin ang mga salitang galing sa kanyang puso. With a serene gaze, Cody cupped Bea's cheek and smoothly rubbed his thumb on it.

"…just for you, hindi ako magdadalawang isip na ilipad ka sa langit… o ilublob ka sa karagatan. I-I mean… kung gusto mong magdive at eexplore ang dagat… hindi yung lulunurin kita… Ah… este… ah… er…" Biglang nilamon ng sobrang nerbyos si Cody dahil sa kanyang maling nasabi. Tsk. Tsk. Wrong choice of words! Sayang ng moment!

"Ahahaha!" At that instant sumabog ng tawa si Bea.

"Ang cute mo!" Then she briskly pinched the young man's cheeks habang tuwang-tuwa sa kanyang narinig. Was he trying to compliment what she just said 'thank you'? Just thinking of it mas lalong natuwa si Bea at mas lalong nanggigil.

"Hayss. Badtrip naman oh. Humph!" Napasimangot nalang si Cody. He blew off the chance! Ang sweet na sana ng moment eh.

'Ilublob ka sa karagatan?' Ano yun?

Mas lalong lumakas ang tawa ni Bea hanggang sa sumakit ang kanyang tiyan. She helplessly fell on to the young man's chest nang mapakurba na siya. She really found Cody really cute on that moment. Yung pinipilit niyang maging romantiko pero sadyang hindi kaya ng kanyang choice of words. That was indeed cute!

Mas lalong napasimangot si Cody nang makita si Bea na hindi pa natitigil sa kanyang tawa. This time, he gently cupped Bea's shoulder and faced her face na punung-puno na nang sipon at luha. Hindi na napigilan ni Cody ang mapasmile sa nakapandiriring ityura ng dalaga. Without a feeling of disgust, his wrist gently rubbed on to her cheeks upang punasan ito. He was like that warm mother lovely caring on her snotty child.

"Now… could you please look out from the window?" Mas lalong napasmile si Cody.
