The Bargain Woman

Chapter 40: I miss you

Lumipas ang isang oras bago namin nakuha iyong mga pinamili ng ginang.

"Enjoy your honeymoon" Ani ng ginang bago umalis.

I sighed and close the door after she left.

"We gotta do something about this, Darius" sambit ko at saka itinaas ang kamay namin na nakaposas.

"I'm trying to figure it out" he said like as if he was actually thinking about it.

"Stop being pretentious" I rolled my eyes and sit besides him.

Tinanggal ko ang clip sa aking buhok at saka sinuklay ang aking buhok gamit ang aking daliri.

"Right. The clip" iniabot ko iyong clip sakanya.

He frowned when he accept it. He looked at me with blank stare.

I rolled my eyes "unlock it with this" sambit ko.

"Huh?" Anito.

"Hindi ka ba nanonood ng mga movies? Ginagamit nila 'yan para mabuksan yung cuffs" Sabi ko

"I don't know about it, you did it then" Aniya at saka inabot saakin pabalik iyong clip

Naiinis ko iyong kinuha at saka sinubukan na iunlock iyong handcuff

"Itaas mo, nangangawit ako" naiinis kong ani nang naramdaman ko iyong bigat ng kamay nya.

He sighed and raise his right hand

I sighed too. "This won't work as I thought" I said

Nabigla ako nang biglang tumayo si Darius dahilan para bahagyang mahatak iyong kamay ko.

"Dahan dahan naman"

"Maliligo ako" Aniya.

"What?! With this?" Turo ko sa kamay naming naka posas.

"We are lucky enough to be not sick after being wet by the rain last night" He uttered.

Right.

"I know I know. But you can't---"

"I can" he said and walk making me oblige to follow him.

"Darius, ano ba?!" Sigaw ko.

He looked at me. "I'll use my left arm okay? You just wait outside or else you wanna help me?" He asked.

"What? No way! Pervert" I hissed.

He chuckled and starts unbuttoning his polo.

I looked away. "can't you do it inside?" I ask

"Hold this" he said referring to the polo on his right arm.

Right, he can't remove it as we are being tied up.

Hindi ako sumagot. I just took it and follow him to the bathroom.

"There's a gap, you can peek if you want" he said and chuckled.

"What the fuck?!" I hissed.

I could feel the cold water in my left hand. It was being swayed by him to any directions.

"Darius!" I yelled when I feel my backhand touching his body.

"I can't help it, okay" he added.

I tried my best to remain cool. I looked myself in the mirror in front of me.

I look horrible. I just wash up too but I can't!

Nakaramdam din ako ng gutom. Tanghali na rin kasi at hindi pa ako kumakain. I only ate a few last night and I wasn't able to eat in the party!
