Ortiz de Rozaz palace
Nakatulalang nakatingin lang si Natali sa kisame. It was already morning and she was naked behind the sheets. Phaedron Lukas was in the shower. Again, he was using her like a whore. A whore is very less fortunate and who doesn't have a choice.
Minsan, napapaisip siya, paano kaya kung magpakamatay siya? Tutal, wala na siyang pamilya. She was only alone, she doesn't have siblings. Her adoptive parents are in the province. She doesn't even have friends... the man she loves is already married.
Ilang segundo ay lumabas na rin si Pancho mula sa shower. He was half-naked and was only wearing a white towel around his waist. There were still water droplers all around him. He was currently drying his hair with another white towel.
"I'm tired, Pancho."
Tumigil ito at kinunutan siya ng noo.
She kept staring at the golden ceiling. It was during that hour she realized that she better end her life or she better be away from the city and never come back.
"I rather die... than live any longer here. Wala na akong dahilan para mabuhay pa." She told him defeatedly. Siguro, matagal na rin niyang naiisip iyon. Now, it was finally the right time to say it's over. For her.
"I'm just a whore... a poor whore. Mahirap na pokpok, prostitute, a maid, whatever you call. I only devalue myself every day..."
She heard him sighing. Kaagad itong nagbihis. Nagulat siya nang bigla nitong binato sa kanya ang isang malinis na tuwalya.
"Go shower yourself," Phaedron Lukas who was already wearing some comfy white Lacoste polo shirt and some beige slacks, replied, "Get dressed instead of moping around about how miserable your life is."
She looked at him and squinted her eyes in disbelief. Phaedron rolled his eyes.
"I know you didn't have much vacation because you're working here and at the same time, studying at the university. Get dressed, we'll go Batanes. The place is good for sightseeing and some fresh air."
Siya naman ang kumunot ng noo rito, "What?"
"We're going to stay at Batanes for some days, well, we're going back for the coronation because all the royal family members need to be there."
"Someone will see us and I don't have enough money--"
"Who cares about money, Natalie? And who cares about someone seeing us? It's not like we're sneaking or hiding something. Makikita naman talaga tayo ng iba kasi hindi naman tayo nagtatago. But who fucking cares about their opinion? We're all humans. We are all entitled to roam around freely."
