His Pleasurer

Chapter 8

Weeks had passed already after the talk I had with Drix and his sudden confession. I've been paid again from being a pleasurer even though I hadn't met Drix for the past weeks, I can't face him though because of the embarrassment. He is also busy for their comeback. 

Luna is already discharged from the hospital and the surgery went well, my sister is healthy now. I bought a house good for me and Luna only, the house is not that big like Aria's but good enough for the both of us. She asked me where did I get the money so I just reasoned out that it was from my salary as Drix's make-up artist. I've been lying all this time to my sister about my job because of the thought that she may get angry or disgrace me as her ate. I've been planning to leave my job once the contract is over and I don't have any plan on going back, I'll just find a decent job after and I have enough savings.

''Ate, he's a 10. You can't lie to me that you don't like him too when it's obvious, you've been blushing all the time when someone mention his name.'' Luna uttered.

We're here in our living room watching The Gold 7 performance live, I've been smiling looking at Drix when he is being shown in the screen. Right, I told Luna about the confession that Drix had said to me and as what I expected she's more thrilled that I am. She's been telling me that Drix is the standard and I'm so lucky because there are many people who likes Drix but he chose me.

''Hindi ko alam kung paano ko sasabihin sakaniya ang nararamdaman ko.'' I said without looking at Luna.

''Hindi mo naman kailangan sabihin sakaniya agad eh. May tamang oras naman para dyan pero let him prove himself to you and once na feel mo na sigurado siya sayo sabihin mo na ang totoo mong nararamdaman, don't pressure your self because love can wait naman ate. Kung kayo talaga para sa isa't isa ay tadhana na ang gagawa ng paraan sainyo, as long as you're happy, I'm good. You deserve to be happy, too.'' 

Napatingin naman ako sakaniya dahil sa sinabi niya, dami niya atang alam pagdating sa ganito ah. " Dami mong alam tungkol sa ganito ah, may boyfriend kana no?'' pag-uusisa ko pa at agad naman siyang umirap dahil sa sinabi ko.

''Wala nga akong nagugustuhan ngayon tapos boyfriend agad? Nabasa ko yan sa libro nong nasa hospital pa ako, pero once magkaka boyfriend na ako ipakilala ko naman agad sayo ate.'' Kumindat pa siya at sabay kaming natawa.

Gabi na at nagluluto na ako ng panghapunan namin, adobo at pancit ang niluluto ko dahil paborito ito ni Luna. Nang matapos akong magluto ay tinawag ko na siya para pumunta dito sa kusina at sabay kaming kakain. Gaya nga ng inaasahan ko ay napangiti siya sa ulam na nasa mesa. 

''Namiss ko to, thank you ate!'' Masayang sabi niya at umupo na sa harap ko. 

Hinayaan ko na siya ang maunang kumuha ng pagkain bago ako, nakangiti ako habang tinitignan siya na tikman ang mga ulam na niluto ko para sakaniya. ''Grabe ang sarap talaga ng luto mo ate, swerte naman ni kuya Drix at ikaw ang mapapangasawa niya.'' biro niya kaya napatawa naman ako at kumuha narin ng pagkain ko.

Matapos kumain ay si Luna na ang naghugas ng mga pinagkainan namin kaya pumasok na ako sa aking kwarto para maligo, matapos ay sinuot ko na ang pajamas ko at humiga sa kama. Kinuha ko ang phone ko nang makitang umiilaw iyon, pahiwatig na may tumatawag. 

My world stops when I saw his name on my screen calling, agad akong napatayo at tinignan ang sarili sa salamin bago ko sinagot ang video call niya. 

''Hi, bakit ka napatawag?'' Panimula ko nang masagot ko ang tawag.

Nakahiga siya sa kama at nakatutok ang camera sa maamo niyang mukha, hindi rin nakalagpas sa paningin ko na wala siyang suot na damit at tanging kumot niya lamang ang nakatakip doon. He looks so tired pero hindi naman nabawasan ang kapogian niya.
