Can't Marry You Yet (The Edited & Continuation)

Kabanata 5 (Trouble)

Nayeli

In a bar, rudeness is inevitable, especially when the customer is too drunk that's why they hired a bouncer to control the crowds and for safety purposes as well.

Sunday ngayon kaya open ang bar hanggang madaling araw. Nakita niyang nilapitan ni Barbie ang isang lalake, this is their last customer.

"Excuse me sir. I just want to inform you that we will be closing now and I think it is time for you to go home" Barbie said it gently but she was surprised when he shouted.

"Bitch! Who the hell are you to tell me to go home?"

Halatang nabigla si Barbie kaya lumapit na rin siya sa mga ito. He keeps on talking in italian. Wala naman siyang maintindihan sa mga sinasabi nito puro lang ito sigaw.

"That's enough sir. We approach you with respect and this is how you reacted? I'm sorry but I will call the bouncer."

They were on the second floor so she had to go down to call the bouncer. But as soon as she turned her back, Barbie screamed, it turned out that the man has already touched her on her chest.

Binalikan niya ulit si Barbie. She took a bottle of beer and pointed it to the man. May kalalagyan talaga ito sa hawak niyang bote kapag hindi ito titigil.

"You will stop or I'll hit you with this!" banta niya rito.

"Ayeng, anong gagawin natin?" Barbie said in fear.

"Bumaba ka at tawagin mo ang bouncer."

"Paano ka?"

"I'll take care of myself. Bilis na."

Mabilis itong umalis. She turned to the Italian.

"Bitch you're feisty!" sigaw pa nito sa kanya.

This bastard has been calling her a bitch for a while now. He was about to touch her when she turned the bottle around while pointing at him. Alam niyang wala siyang magiging laban sa laki nito kapag naging agrisibo ito kaya magandang panangga ang bote.

"Sige, subukan mong lumapit at ipupokpok ko sayo itong boteng hawak ko, damuho ka."

He had a confused look, obviously he didn't understand. But he still tried to approach her.

"Stop or I will really hit you. I'm not kidding!" she threatened again. Pero halatang hindi man lang ito natakot dahil ngumisi pa ito.

He got the bottle from her hand. Her nervousness doubled over what he would do next. Fortunately, the bouncer had arrived as well as the rest of her co-workers.

"Ayos ka lang?" Piper asked worriedly.

"Oo, mabuti na lang dumating kayo bago pa may gawin 'to sa akin" nakahinga rin siya ng maluwag. Ang takot niya kanina ay hindi masusukat.

Nilapitan siya ni Zayd. Seryoso ang mukha nito.

"If you're going to encounter a person like this again, I think it's better for you to leave than deal with them alone" he warned.

She nodded. Nai-report na nila ang lalakeng nagwala. Sumama na rin sila sa istasyon para hingan ng statement.

Zayd was going to sue him pero pinigilan niya ito since wala naman nangyari sa kanyang masama. At isa pa alam naman niyang marami pang proseso bago ito makulong, matatagalan pa siyang magpapabalik-balik doon, mapeperwisyo ang trabaho niya kung nagkataon kaya minabuti na lang niya na mauwi sa settlement ang lahat.

"So you're saying that we should be thankful that he didn't hurt you? Okay, I understand but we don't know where else he'll do it again and someone else might be harmed because of him."

"I know, pero siguro naman magtatanda na siya since it will be his first warning. He's just drunk so he doesn't know what he's doing."

"Did you come frome heaven?"

"Ha? Bakit?" she asked confused.

"Because I think you're an angel."

Iningusan niya ito. Dapat dito niya pinukpok ang bote kanina eh.

"Pero sigurado ka ba talaga sa desisyon mo ha Nayeli?"

"Yes. Ang mabuti pa bumalik na tayo sa bar. Gusto ko na rin umuwi at makapagpahinga."

"Fine. If you're okay with it, then let's go" saad nito.

Nang mahimasmasan ang lalake nangako naman ito na hindi na babalik sa bar. He is also ban in the other bars. May pinirmahan lang siyang settlement paper bago sila umalis.
