Bitch

"Eithne! Dito! Potangshet! Bilis!" sigaw ni Milen sa 'di kalayuan.

My feet hurts. I was running barefooted, and I could feel the ground cutting the skin of my feet.

Tiniis ko. Inisip ko ang sarili ko. Ayaw kong manatili rito. Hinding-hindi na ako magpapa-uto ulit.

Madilim sa labas ng kastilyo pero sapat na ang liwanag ng buwan upang makakita ako sa gitna ng dilim.

Kakalabas ko lang ng gate ng kastilyo. Mabuti na lang at nakabukas iyon. I saw a car from a distance. Milen was waiting for me there.

"Get inside, bitches! The motherf*cker is coming!" utos ng babaeng nasa loob ng sasakyan at s'yang nakaupo sa driver's seat.

Wala pang isang segundo ay nakapasok na kaming dalawa ni Milen sa loob ng sasakyan. Sa backseat kami pumwesto. Hindi pa nga naisara ang pinto ay pinaharurot na nito ng takbo paalis. Kaya nataranta pa si Milen sa pagsara ng pinto.

"Did Aine Montalvo send you to rescue us?" I asked as I looked back at the castle's postern gate.

I saw his dark and tall shadow. He just calmly stood there. Watching us escape. Why does his calmness feel so creepy?

"Correct, baby girl," the woman who's driving fast replied.

"Thank you so much!" Maligayang sabi ni Milen.

"I'm just having a quiet vacation here in Germany. But then 'Comare' called me to help you, darling women, from the manipulative 'Capo dei capi' of La Cosa Nostra."

"What? I don't get it," naguguluhan kong salita.

"Aine Montalvo asked for help from Comare or Madrina, madame of all madams. . . godmother of La Stessa Cosa. Here I am, doing orders," she explained further.

The way she talks. She sounds like a girlboss who can't be messed with.

"Capo dei capi means godfather then? Boss of all bosses?" Milen asked.

I tried to take a closer look of the woman who rescued us by narrowing my eyes and stare at the rear view mirror. Mata n'ya lang ang nakikita ko. She has long and perfectly curled eyelashes with dark and gorgeously blended eyeshadow. Hindi n'ya man lang kami nilingon. Pokus ito sa mabilis pagmamaneho.

Bumaba ang tingin ko sa kaniyang kamay na nakahawak sa manibela. Her nails are pretty painted in wine red colour.

"You got that right, girlie!" Her voice was femininely powerful. "Men are stupid bastards that will never reach our standards!"

Sad reality. Women just have to accept that, and expect less from them. Not all men are like that though, but the majority are. It's hard to find one like those in the movies and books.

"Girlies, don't be sad. We can be happy without men. Men are miserable without women," she added after she glanced at us through the rear view mirror.

Bumaling ako kay Milen sa tabi ko. Malayo ang tingin nito sa labas mula sa bintana ng sasakyan. Tahimik lang ito.

"Men think that women are too much for them, when they're the ones who lack and see less of themselves."

Zixuan was right about La Stessa Cosa. May paniniwala ang isang 'to. No man can manipulate a woman with this mindset. I wonder how hard she's been through to turn into this woman?

She'd rather cry if she runs out of money, than losing a man.

"Uhm. . . what's your name?" Mahinahon kong tanong.
