Scarlett [18+]

Prologue

Her POV

"Scarlett..."

Napalingon ako sa tumawag sa pangalan ko, she was our manager. Tumango lamang ako sa kanya habang tinatapos kong ayusin ang make-up ko.

"Table 9"

Tumayo na ako at tinignan ang sarili ko sa salamin. I was wearing a red fitted dress, a 5-inch heels and I straightened my hair for today.

Huminga muna ako ng malalim. Silently prayed that the night will end soon.

"P*tang*na, sino bang niloko ko? Alas 8 pa lang ng gabi." mahina kong sambit.

"Scarlett, kanina ka pa hinahanap!"

"Oo na, eto na. Sino ba yan nagmamadali, may lakad ba" inis kong banggit

I walked out of the dressing room, lumapit ako kay Fil, he was our waiter.

"Sino daw ponsyo pilatong naghahanap sakin?"

"Table 9 raw, hindi ko kilala e"

Tumango lang ako sa kanya at tinapik ang balikat nya tyaka naglakad na. Maingay ang paligid, wala kang madidinig kung hindi nakakarinding club songs, madilim at nakakahilo ang mga ilaw.

"Magingat naman kayo oo!" sigaw ko

Hays! Muntik na kong matumba. May lasing na naman kasing lalaki at babae naghaharutan. Tumingin sakin yung babae ng may taas noo. Aba!

"Kung makasigaw ka ah! Sino ka ba!? Nagbebenta ka lang naman ng katawan para kumita!"

Tumaas ang kilay ko sa sinabi nya. Kung wala lang ako sa trabaho malamang nasampal ko na to. Pasalamat sya iniisip ko ang penalty na matatanggap ko. Iniwas ko na lang ang tingin ko.

"You have a problem if she earns money that way?"

Nanigas ako sa kinatatayuan ko. That voice. I knew that voice.

"Paki-escort sila palabas. I don't want to see them again."

Once he said that, the bouncers took away the couple. Lumingon ako sa kanya.

Wala pa din nagbago, he was wearing a red hoodie jacket and short pants and a cap.

"Anong ginagawa mo dito?"

He looked at me, yung mga tingin na parang hinuhusgahan ka. Napalunok ako. Ngumisi lang sya sakin.

"I missed you, that's all"

He walked towards me and I almost took a wrong step backwards. Ano bang problema neto! Why was he still hunting me.

"I want you back"

Those words shattered me. Why would he still want me back? After all I've done to him, after all I did that only made his life worse. Why would he still want someone like me go back to him.
