Father Aiden: A Sinful Love Story

8 PM, AT A CHEAP BAR SOMEWHERE,

Ivy's bloody red lips were almost torn from how wide she smiles. Her curvy waist was grinding continuously--to the left and to the right. Slithering up and slithering down. Nonstop and there weren't any signs of fatigue that could be seen on her sinfully gorgeous face while she bounced her body to the beat of the deafening music in the bar.

Dancing on her own yet she doesn't feel alone because she is there with other wild and crazy people here-Just like her.

Out of nowhere, she suddenly felt a hot breath on the back of her heck. At sa isang iglap, isang pares ng matitipunong mga braso ang pumalibot sa kaniyang bewang na siyang nagkulong sa kaniya sa yakap nito.

Napangisi si Ivy ngunit ni hindi niya nilingon o inalam man lang kung sino ang taong yumayakap sa kaniya mula sa kaniyang likuran.

She just continued to grind--pressing her delectable ass against the stranger's crotch. She reached back for the man's neck and clung to it tightly, in the process, she exposed her vulnerable smooth neck for the man to feast on.

Mas lalong napangisi siya nang maramdaman ang hayok na pag halik ng lalaki sa kaniyang leeg. A dirty wet kiss! Just like how she wanted it to be.

Ivy moaned in pure pleasure at hinayaan ang lalaki sa ginagawa nito sa kaniya. Bakit niya patitigilin ito? She also likes what's going on and she likes it very much!

"Wanna go somewhere fun, baby?" The man rasped at her breathlessly. The man's voice was baritone and she instantly became wet just from his voice.

Hindi na napigilan ni Ivy ang sarili. Humarap siya sa lalaki para sana siilin ito ng halik ngunit bago pa niya tuluyang maharap ang lalaki ay isang nagkaroon ng isang di inaasahang pangyayari.

"MOTHERFUCKER!" A furious shout made everyone stop what they're doing. Even the DJ stopped playing the music. Everyone's eyes turned to them.

Ivy blinked in disbelief. Yung lalaking kanina lang ay kahalikan niya ay nakahandusay na ngayon sa sahig. Agad na nagkaroon ng pasa ang kanang pisnge nito. His eyes were unfocused at halata na hilong hilo ito dahil sa suntok na iyon.

They seemed astonished by what happened. Even she was surprised too. Ivy cannot help but creased her brows.

Masyadong panira!

Inis na binalingan ni Ivy ang taong sumuntok sa kahalikan niya. Handang handa na sana siyang bulyawan ito ngunit nanlaki ang mga mata niya nang mapagtantong ang taong ito pala ay ang kaniyang best friend na si Sandra.

"I WILL FUCKING KILL YOU!" Sandra looked like she was about to kill someone.

At mukhang hindi pa ito nakuntento sa isang suntok lang. She proceeds to release series of kicks and punches everywhere she wants to the pitiful man.

The man cried out in pain and could do nothing but to curl himself and just accept those attacks. Halata rin kasing lasing na lasing din ang lalaki. Panigurado, double ang hang over nito bukas.

It's a good thing though that someone was smart enough to call the security so the man was saved. They grabbed Sandra at the both of her arms so that she could no longer attack the already unconscious man.

But Sandra was so persistent that she still successfully landed two kicks on the limp man bago ito tuluyang nailayo ng mga security.

Papatayin niya yata talaga yung lalaki. Ivy watched the farce indifferently. It was as if she was not the source of this incident.

"Are you out of your mind, Ivy?!" Sigaw sa kaniya ni Sandra.

Naka uwi na sila mula sa cheap na bar na yon and they're currently in her apartment na sobrang dumi at alikabok na dahil matagal na rin nung huli niya itong gamitin at ipalinis.

Ivy just looked at Sandra without any emotion as the latter hysterically went to and fro in front of her.

Left to right. Right to left. She couldn't help but be annoyed as she narrowed her eyes at Sandra.

"I'm not crazy, I'm just having fun, and please, can you stop walking around?! I'm getting dizzy just looking at you!" Inis din na sigaw niya.

Suddenly, Sandra stopped walking abruptly and turned at her violently.

"Fun? Bar hopping, drinking, and fucking random strangers is what you call fun?! Ivy, you're crazy! You're crazy!" Napupuyos na sigaw nito sa kaniya.

Pero nabigla si Ivy nang makitang unti-unti ay tila namula ang mga mata ni Sandra at namasa ito ng bahagya. She immediately felt guilty. Is she going to cry on her now?

"Sandra..." Tila napiping tawag niya sa matalik na kaibigan. But Sandra just hissed at her and looked up to stop her tears from flowing.

"How long are you going to do this, Ivy?" Pagod na tanong nito.

Ivy instantly turned her back at her to avoid looking at her, "H-Hindi ko alam ang sinasabi mo..."

Nagulat siya nang bigla siyang haklitin sa magkabilang braso ni Sandra dahilan upang maging magkatapat ang mukha nilang dalawa.

She saw Sandra's tearful gaze at unti-unti ay namuo na rin ang mga luha sa kaniyang mga mata. "Aren't you tired, Ivy? Aren't you tired of fucking ruining your life?!"

Marahas na niyugyog ni Sandra ang magkabilang braso niya. "I-I'm not ruining my life. You told me to have fun so, I-I just did." Utal-tal na depensa ni Ivy sa kaniyang sarili ngunit hindi niya magawang tumingin sa mga mata nito.

Masak din sa kaniyang makitang nahihirapan at nasasaktan ang best friend niya. And so she averted her gaze away.

Ivy was sitting on the dusty couch and she was shocked when she saw Sandra knelt in front of her. "All I want is for you to fix your fucking life. Get along with 'good' people, go back doing your hobbies, talk to us again. I want you to be happy, Ivy. Not this kind of 'fun'. What I want is for you to set yourself free from the past and from the walls that you made to protect yourself."

Sandra gripped both of her hands tightly at halos magmaka-awa na ito sa kaniya. Ivy looked at her best friend's pained face and one by one, her treacherous tears fell unhesitatingly.

Kumuha ng isang malalim na buntong hininga si Sandra bago muling nag salita, "I know it hurts you so much when your fiance for 20 years left you and cheated on you with someone. And I know how it hurts you, even more, when we learned that someone turns out to be Sunny. Ang best friend natin. Ang pinsan mo...ang kapatid ko."

Unti-unti ay nanginig ang boses ni Sandra, "Tapos... tapos ang nangyari sayo sa madilim na eskinitang iyon...at si...si Uncle..."

Ivy shut her eyes tightly. No. She didn't want to relive those painful memories anymore.

"Ivy, set yourself free. Please... for your mother, for your younger sister Abby and also for your own peace of mind."

"I-I don't know how..." Ivy's voice breaks and she started to weep uncontrollably.

Tinakpan niya ang mukha, pilit na tinatago ang kahinaan niya. She suddenly felt Sandra, combing her hair gently using her fingers--just like when they were just kids.

Narinig niyang napabuntong hininga si Sandra, "Wag kang mag alala, Ivy. Andito kaming mga nagmamahal sayo. Andiyan si Auntie, si Abby and there's me as well. We will help you to get your life back to normal. Tutulungan ka naming maging masaya ulit..."

Maging masaya ulit? Ivy looked up at her expectantly and then nodded her head slowly kahit na alam niyang walang kasiguraduhan sa ano nga bang plano ng panginoon para sa kaniya.
