"Here you go. The last one." He said nang maibaba ang maleta ni Asherina sa sala ng apartment nito.
He looks around the place and saw how simple it is. It only have one room and the whole apartment is as big as his living room in his house. But the place is clean and organized.
"Salamat." Asherina answered kaya napatingin siya dito.
She got this sleepy look but her eyes scream sadness. Kanina padin ito tahimik kahit nagising naman ito sa gitna ng byahe pabalik sa lungsod.
"I'm going now." He said before turning his back to her at nagsimula na siyang maglakad palabas ng apartment nito.
"Nicolo." Tawag nito kaya napahinto siya at napatingin dito. "A-about the deal."
Tumango siya. "Its done and over. Bayad kana." He said at napakagat labi ito at tila may gustong sabihin but she changed her mind and just nod.
"O-ok. Ahm salamat sa masayang two weeks." Sabi nito.
Huminga siya nang malalim bago tumango sa dalaga. "Yeah. It was nice meeting you Asherina." He said before walking away.
Hindi na niya hinintay ang sagot nito. He ride his car and drove it away from her place.
But after ten minutes of driving he found himself stopping on the side of the road. His mind and heart is giving him hell. Then he remembered what happened last night when he brings Asherina back to his room.
(Flashback)
"I wish this is real." Bulong ng dalaga bago ito nawalan ng malay o nakatulog dahil sa kalasingan.
Napatitig siya dito bago ipinagpatulog ang pagpasok sa kwarto niya.
He placed her on the bed and remove his sandal. He also grab some wet towel to wipe her face and remove her makeup.
"Hmm Nicolo." Ungol nito nang pinapahiran niya ang braso nito ng wet towel. "Isa kang t-tangina Nicolo." She mumbled na nagpatigil sa kanya.
"Are you awake Asherina?" He asks.
Dumilat ito bago nagpilit na umupo sa kama. "N-nahihilo ako." Sabi nito.
"Then lay down and close your eyes love."
Sumimangot ito bago umiling. "Yoko."
"Ang tigas ng ulo." Bulong niya bago ipinagpatuloy ang pagpupunas sa braso nito.
"Nicolo."
"Hmm?"
"Mahal?"
"Yes?"
"Nicolo."
"What is it asherina?"
Sumandal ito sa dibdib niya. "B-bakit ka pa fall?"
Napakunot noo siya. "Pafall? Who me?"
"Hmm." Tumango ito. "Ang hirap pigilan ng puso kong wag bigyang malisya ang mga ginagawa mong paglalambing sa akin. Kingina ka bakit ka kasi malambing na masungit ha." Inis na sigaw nito.
Hindi niya alam kung natatawa ba siya o maiinis din. Goodness a drunk woman surely is hard to handle.
"Because I am doing my part as your pretend boyfriend Asherina." He said bago ito inilayo sa sarili niya at tinitigan ito. "Where here because we're showing my family I'm in a serious relationship remember. That's why you're here with me. To pretend as my girlfriend."
Iniwaksi nito ang pagkakahawak niya bago siya hinampas sa dibdib. "Aw what was that for."
"Kingina ka, mabobroken hearted pa ata ako sayo."
