MARRYING MY BROTHER'S ENEMY

Your Woman

Charles's POV

Sa pagdaan ng mga araw, kapansin-pansin ang pagbabago ng aura ni Kimberly. She has pinkish cheeks, nagkaroon ng laman ang kaniyang katawan at ang umbok ng kaniyang tiyan ay hindi na maitatago. Lalo pa at kambal ang kaniyang dinadala.

Lahat ng pagkain na gusto niyang kainin ay binili ko na.

She also requested a painting brush and a canvas as well as painting colors.

" Do you like to paint? tanong ko sa kaniya ng inabot ko ang mga bagay na pinapabili Niya. She nodded and walked away.

I raised my brow, not even a thank you?

Sometimes I can't help but wonder if perhaps sinasadya na ni Kimberly ang ipinapakita Niya na pasunurin ako. Seems to me that she's just using her pregnancy to get her way to me.

"Huwag mo ng pansinin, iho...she's just a child remember?" Sabi sa akin ni Aling Martha.

"Ewan ko, Aling Martha. Mukhang ginagamit Niya ang mga anak ko upang pahirapan ako at maging sunod-sunuran sa gusto Niya." Sabi ko Kay Aling Martha na naiiling.

"Hindi iho, mahirap talaga intindihin minsan ang mga buntis...pagtiyagaan mo na lang." She further explained. " Hormonal pregnancy ang tawag diyan. Nagbabago talaga ang modo ng mga babae kapag buntis, kadalasan ay sa first trimester ng pregnancy nangyayari ito."

He eyed Aling Martha interistedly.

" Hmmn, naaalala ko tuloy si Daddy, Aling Martha. May sinabi siya sa akin when Mom was pregnant of me.Tumataas daw kasi ang level ng estrogen at progesterone ng mga babaeng buntis."

Tama, kaya hindi ganon kadali ang magbuntis iho, lalo na sa part ni Kimberly. Wala siguro sa isip Niya na siya ay magdadalang-tao, hindi lang iisa , kundi dalawa pa."

I nodded my head and excuse myself to Aling Martha as my phone rang.

"What's up?"

"I just called to remind you about the meeting with the Salazar brothers.." Alfonso was on the other line.

"S**t," I cursed myself. Muntik ko ng makalimutan.

"See..?" Alfonso teases him." Masyado mo namang ki-na-career ang pagiging asawa at ama mo." Charles could hear the smirk on his voice.

"Shut up Alfonso.." he said.

Alfonso laughed. "See you tonight.." he immediately hung up the phone knowing that Charles will be pissed off.

"Idiot.." Charles murmured as he turn off his phone.

"I'm going out.." I said facing Kimberly who is savoring her ube ice cream cone. The girl is sitting in the couch and watching TV in the bedroom. I watched her closely as she licked the ice cream.

What is she trying to do? Is she trying to seduce me? I swallowed the lump in my throat. The way she licks the ice cream is f****g sexy . Nag-iwas ako ng tingin ng mula sa television ay bumaling ang tingin Niya sa akin.

Kumunot ang kaniyang noo, mukha ba akong bata na naglalaway sa kinakain niyang ice cream? F**k!

"Do you need anything?" she asked.

"I'm going out..." she nodded and it was too late for me to realize that I look like a fool. Hindi ko kailangan na sabihin sa kaniya kung saan ako pupunta.

I turned my back, a little uneasy and frightened for myself. Bakit nararamdaman ko na kailangan kong ipaalam sa kaniya ang aking lakad? I was about to open the door when ..

"Ahhh..ouch, oh my God.!"

"What happened?" I instantly turned around to face Kimberly.

Nakayuko siya, hinimas ang kaniyang tiyan, "Tingnan mo."

Dali -dali aking lumapit sa kaniya. Nag -angat siya ng tingin and motion me to sit beside her.

"Tingnan mo, ang aking tiyan...gumagalaw." Nanlaki ang aking mata ng makita ko ang paggalaw ng kaniyang tiyan. It's like a rapid quickening movement. The baby is kicking!

"Oh my God Charles.." kinuha ni Kimberly ang aking kamay at inilapat sa ibabaw ng kaniyang tiyan." Naramdaman mo ba ?" masaya niyang sabi.

"Gumagalaw na ang ating anak." She excitedly exclaimed. And then she hugged me. Nabigla ako dahil kanina ay halos hindi Niya ako pinapansin. But now, I could feel her excitement rising up . I can't help but wonder if this is part of her hormonal pregnancy imbalance perhaps?

When she pulled out from me. I felt uneasy. Something stirring inside of me , hindi rin nakatulong ang mga titig Niya and when she bit her lower lip, I lost it.

"I'm sorry.." she said glancing away. I cup her chin and she turned back her gaze once again to me.

"Why you're sorry?"

"I..." she hesitated.

For a week, I have been trying to focus and avoid her. And when I say avoid her , that means to avoid touching her. Although, I'm dying to. My eyes darkened as I followed the movement of her lips.

"Here.." Inabot Niya sa akin ang Isa pang flavor ng ice cream. The corn cone ice cream.

Seriously? I was supposed to be upset, but seeing her smile while licking the cream made me smile. What is going on. Binitiwan ko ang kaniyang panga at inabot ang cone.

Luckily, we were alone in the room. Kung nagkataon na nandito ang mga tauhan ko at nakamasid sa amin at pagtatawanan nila ako...I swear I'm gonna kill each of them.

She licked the ube ice cream again while making soft moans and sighs.

I shifted a bit uncomfortably and crossed my legs .She was really testing my control. I was getting hard every lick she made. Hindi ako ang uri ng lalaki na madaling ma aroused. I have my f*****g control, Pero simula ng makasama ko na rito sa mansion si Kimberly ay nagsimulang mag-iba ang aking s****l orientation.

I was losing my compusure . She awakened something in me I had never experienced. Kahit pa sabihin na pwersahan ko siyang inaangkin. I closed my eyes as I brush the memories of me raping her. Somehow I felt a bit ... guilty? s**t!

I wanted to rough her up f**k her up and at the same time I wanted to hold her gently. This is a catastrophe, I don't know what is happening to me.

Is this girl playing tricks in me? I ask silently.

"Huh!" she gasped.

"What's wrong?" I asked alarm by her expression.

"Your twins are kicking, again, oh my God!" Sabi Niya na parang hinahapo.

May be it was just me. Kalibugan ang pumasok sa isipin ko, samantalang ang munti Kong asawa ay ice cream at ang movement ng anak namin ang binabantayan .

This time, hindi ko na hinintay pa na abutin Niya ang aking kamay at ilagay sa kaniyang tiyan. I touched her stomach. Mag-pa five months na ang tiyan ni Kimberly. At this time of pregnancy maipaliwanag na mi Dr Ledesma ang quickly movement na maramdaman ni Kimberly.

The twins are quite active. " Hello twins..." I said while my hand is on her tummy. Talking to the babies while they were in the utero proves a lot of benefits.

The unborn baby learns to recognize and

and remember your voice during pregnancy. Pero, ito ay mainamn gawin kapag nasa third trimester na ng pregnancy. I don't care about it.

My twins are active. " Hello twins, I repeated. This is your daddy

speaking." I could feel that the movements stop. " Don't give your mom a hard time okay. I love you both." I said .

I let my hand stay for a while. We were both surprised when we saw one final moments. It was quite fast and strong . it was like the babies are conforming with me.

I felt a satisfying feeling of a father.

Ayaw kong palampasin ang ganitong pagkakataon. May obligasyon ako sa aking asawa, at aaminin ko na nagustugan ko ito.

The sense of responsibility.

I went to the bathroom to call Alfonso. " Hey man, where are you?"

"Ikaw ba ang dapat magtanong sa akin o ako?" bungad kaagad ni Alfonso. " I've been waiting for you here. Me and the gang." he added. "Nasaan ka na?"

"May nangyari eh.." I explained.

" Is everything okay?" he asked .

"Yes, yes...I'm fine. I mean..." I stop. The son of a gun will tease me if I spill the details. So I let it hang.

"Oh, I see." was his reply. Alfonso and I are quite close. Nababasa Niya ang katahimikan ko. "Your woman needs you."

"Ikaw na ang bahala sa transactions natin with the Salazar brothers. You've been doing this kind of stuff, Alfonso. May tiwala ako sa iyo . You can do it." I said , ignoring his teasing.

"Hmmn.." Alfonso hummed. "This guy's in love pare.."

Narinig ko sa background ang tawanan ngunit agad naman silang tumahimik. I know sinaway sila ni Alfonso.

"Okay boss, I'll ring an update later." he hung up.

Natigilan ako habang nakatingin sa cellphone. 'This guys in love pare'. Paano nasabi ni Alfonso na in love ako kay Kimberly?

Ginagawa ko lang ang dapat Kong gawin bilang ama ng kaniyang dinadala. I'm taking care of her to ensure the safety of my children. Nasa sinapupunan pa Niya ang kambal. Naturalmente na ang ina ang aalagaan ko dahil sa kaniya sumisipsip ng pagkain ang aking mga anak. How dare those bastards laugh at me.

Paglabas ko ng banyo ay nasa kuwarto si Aling Martha.

"Tamang -tama nandito ka pala iho, halika na sabay na kayong kumain ni Kimberly. Nakahanda na ang mesa." Bumaling siya Kay Kimberly.

" Niluto ko ang request mo na honey garlic shrimp Iha but no garlic. Niluto ko rin ang buttered garlic shrimp mo without garlic."

I knitted my brow, what the hell was that? I remember na sensitive ang mga buntis sa garlic. So my little wife is not an exemption.

Agad na kumislap ang mga mata ni Kimberly at tumayo na ito. Ngumiti siya na bumaling sa akin. Napasinghap ako ng salirinan ng matunghayan ang kaniyang ngiti.

Kimberly is a very attractive young woman. She has an innocent smile yet provocative. She was capable of stirring a man's desire without her knowing. May punto nga ba ang mga tauhan ko sa kanilang panunukso sa akin?

I reached out for her and led her to the dining room.

Napansin ko na masaya si Aling Martha sa nangyayari sa aking buhay. Sinabi Niya sa akin na hindi na ako bumabata. Kailangan ko ng anak, mga anak na magiging tagapagmana ng lahat ng kayamanan ko.

Maluwang ang kaniyang ngiti habang nakahawak si Kimberly sa aking braso.

Nag-e-enjoy si Kimberly sa kanyang dinner. This is good. Gusto ko healthy ang aking kambal paglabas nila sa sinapupunan ni Kimberly. I would definetely welcome my children with so much love. I will be the happiest dad.

Then my mind wander around and saw the lifeless body of Leah. I closed my eyes and block the memory of my dear sister. Ayaw Kong isipin na ang dahilan ng kaniyang pagiging gulay ngayon ay dahil sa kapatid ng babae na nasa harapan ko ngayon.

And just like that..nasra na ang modo ko.
