Erykah Sunshine.
Not in a millionWhat the heck? Oh, my goodness!
I can't believe I agreed to this type of agreement. I never in my wildest dream would someone, a stranger, for instance, come to me and offer me this type of setting out of the blue.
Nanginig ang tuhod ko nang makalabas sa gusali na kung nasaan ang penthouse niya. Napahawak ako sa dibdib at humugot nang malalim na hininga.
Wala na si Glenn. Nauna na siyang umalis dahil may tumawag na kliyente sa kanya. Babalikan niya raw ako mamaya at dito kami magkikita sa penthouse niya.
I don't need to go back to the office anymore as he will not be around there. He doesn't want me to accompany him to meet this new client because he wants me to pack all my things and move them to his place.
This is insane. It's too fast, but I have no choice. I know this is crazy, but it is temporarily the solution to my problem.
It's been months since I left home without knowing what was happening there. I don't want to know about them because I know my stepmother will only trace me. She will kill me like how she did before. Luckily, I escaped.
Pumasok muna ako sa isang convenience store at bumili ng malamig na tubig. Tanghali na, at gutom na ako. Naupo ako sa bakanteng silya na nakaharap sa mismong gusali at napatingin ako sa pinakatuktok nito.
Okay. Nandito na ako at wala ng atrasan ito.
Glenn is not bad. He almost ticked the box on my list. He's perfect. There's no doubt about that. Now, the only thing for me to do is to act like how he wants me.
Hindi ko alam, kung anong meron sa isang Glenn Mondragon dahil napapayag niya ako sa mga bagay na gusto niya. Hindi ko maipaliwanag ito sa sarili, pero sadyang umu-oo ako sa lahat ng gusto niya.
It's weird, but I do trust him and I feel safe towards him. Pakiramdam ko ay walang makakalapit at manakit sa akin sa tuwing nasa tabi ko siya.
I'm not attracted to him, that's for sure. Although he has a convincing charm that could make any woman want him, I don't want that to happen to me. I have to put a boundary between us. It will do no good for me.
Matatalo lang ako, at magiging luhaan sa huli. Alam ko na ito. Hindi na ito bago. Wala siyang maalala sa akin, at hindi niya naalala na nagkita na kami noon sa SOLO FF sa Amerika. Nagpapatunay lang ito na wala siyang interest sa akin kahit konti.
He only sees me as an object. A solution to his problem and his employee.
ISA-ISA KONG NILABAS ANG GAMIT KO SA APARTELLE. May isang linggo pa ako rito, pero dahil gusto na ni Glenn na lumapit ako ngayon, ay hindi ko na magagamit ito.
"Salamat, Eres. Huwag kang mahiyang tumawag kung gusto mo ulit ng reservation, okay? I will prioritize you," si Windy sa akin. Siya ang attendant booking sa apartelle na ito.
"Salamat din, Windy. Sa susunod na pagkikita natin ulit."
Pagkatapos kong maibigay ang susi sa kanya ay kumaway na ako bago pumasok sa taxi. May tatlong oras pa ako para maihanda ang sarili mamaya.
AFTER THREE HOURS, I settled into simple casual wear: a long, plain, light blue summer dress with flat sandals. I looked so girly, but I think I should be casual anyway. After all, I will meet Glenn's parents for the second time.
Kanina pa ako hindi mapakali at pabalik-balik ang tingin ko sa salamin dito. Hindi ko muna ginalaw ang mga gamit ko sa maleta, dahil baka magbago ang isip ni Glenn at ipapalayas niya ako rito. Malay ba natin. Eh may lahing cold-blooded ang lalaking iyon. Mahirap na baka ako lang ang umaasa at wala lang pala ito sa kanya.
