Confession of an Escort

Confession II

I'm on my way sa isang shop na sinabi sakin ni honey. Gusto niyang makipagkita sakin para humingi ng impormasyon tungkol sa asawa niya.

Nang makarating ako ay agad kong pinark ang kotse ko. I was unbuckling my seatbelt when I saw her sitting inside the pastry shop near by the window.

I sighed.

Honey. Honey. Honey. Why did you marry a guy who's such a jerk. Clearly, he don't deserve a woman like you. I mean, look at you. Looking so pretty innocent. Its as if you're the most fragile thing in the world that should be handle with a lot of care. But how could someone like your husband do that when he's the one who's going to break you?

Lumabas na ako ng kotse ko saka agad na nagtungo sa loob ng pastry shop.

Umupo ako sa kabilang side ng table.

Nakatingin lang ako sa kanya ganun din siya sakin.

Siya ang unang umiwas sa titig ko "so, tell me what happened"

"Di mo man lang ba muna ako babatiin o kakamustahin?" Tanong ko sa kanya in a sarcastic way.

"How are you then?" I can see no emotion on her face. Just blank expression.

I smiled at her "I'm good. How about you?" Of course. She's not okay, sean. Duh!

"Better. Now, tell me"

Napabuntong ako ng aking hininga "Nahuli ako ng husband mo na nakatingin sa kanya..."

Kinwento ko sa kanya kung ano yung nangyari kanina sa coffee shop. Kung pano ako ngitian ng asawa niya hanggang sa bigyan niya ako ng kape at umupo sa table ko.

"Yun lang?" Di ko alam kung dapat ko bang sabihin sa kanya yung part na dineny siya ng asawa niya at nagpanggap itong single.

"He asked me if I'm single or not and I answered him I'm single. Then I asked him the same question..."

"What's his answer?"

"He's single, ready to mingle" napansin ko ang pag-iba ng mukha niya. Kung kanina blanko ang mukha niya ngayon nakikita ko ang sakit.

Hindi ko naman siya kilala but I can feel her. Yung pain na nararamdaman niya. I could only imagine.

I heard her scoff "do you want something to eat?" She suddenly changed the topic.

Nakatingin lang ako sa kanya "yeah, you should eat. Wait, order lang ako" she called for the waiter.

Di maalis ang paningin ko sa kanya habang umuorder siya.

Nang makaalis ang waiter ay napatingin siya sakin "what?"

"He denied you"

"How long have you been doing this job?" She completely ignored what I just said.

Sige, honey. Try to brush it off pero you can't fool me. I know you're hurt.

"I don't know. Three years?"

"I'm pretty sure you're the best when it comes to bed"
