My Sexual Partner (Completed)

Chapter 25

Galit akong dinuro ni Sach. "See what you've done? Inilayo mo 'ko sa mag-ina ko! Off with someone else! Who was that? Alam nya ba na buntis si Kealy with my kid?!"

Kealy had left? Saan? Could I still reach her to borrow kahit two hundred thousand lang? Does she even have that kind of money ngayon eh buntis sya?

"This is your fault eh. I knew she loved me! Are you happy now? You broke us apart, kami ng magiging family ko. Why didn't you tell me where they were? Ngayon wala na sila. Umalis na sila ng bansa Gayle. Who are you to keep that information from me? Ako ang ama ng anak ko." He cried. He had to sit down. I could tell he was devastated, he was heartbroken.

Mas naiyak ako. Ako na. Ako na ang may sala ng lahat. Ako na.

The next thing I knew, I woke up on my bed. I must have lost consciousness.

Sach's still here.

I saw him beside the open door. He was looking outside. Napalingon sya sa'kin and then he weakly smiled when he saw me already awake.

Anong oras na? Do I have to work today? Ayoko. Ayoko na. Ayoko nang mabuhay.

He turned to me and sat sa chair. "I saw a text message from your Mom. I'm sorry about Tito. Kailangan mo ba ng pera? I can give you money."

"Yes Sach. I need money," kaagad kong sinabi at umupo. Mataman ko syang tiningnan. "Kailangan ko ng pera." Hope was seeping through. Kahit ano gagawin ko maoperahan lang si Dad.

"Okay. 'Wag ka nang mamroblema. I'll transfer money to your account." Kinuha nya ang phone nya and did stuff on there. "What's your bank and account number? Sasabihin ko sa Accountant ko."

Mabilis na nagsulat ako sa papel and I gave it to him. "Thanks Sach," I said. My outlook in life changed just like that. Help came my way! I didn't seek it, it came to me. And with that changed outlook in life, came a different outlook towards Sach as well. How could he just give money like this?

Kinakabahan ako sa kapalit pero wala naman syang sinasabi. Kahit ano pa yan, kahit ako pa, okay lang, I'll do it. I then realized I have been bad to him. "I'm sorry about Kealy," I also offered.

Natigilan sya. "It's her decision. Sorry nagalit ako sa'yo. I was just- I don't know," iling nya. He was still sad about what he learned.

"I'll pay you as soon as I can," I said.

"'Wag mo munang isipin yun. Alam kong wala kang pambayad. Mamaya nyan mahimatay ka na naman sa stress... And I'm really sorry to hear about Tito. Hope na makatulong talaga sa kanya yung operation," he said.

Napabuntung-hininga ako. "Thank you talaga Sach."

"Pwede bang 'wag ka munang mag-trabaho ngayon? Pinautang naman kita eh. Inom tayo."

"Sige," payag ko.

"Pero kumain muna tayo. Gutom na 'ko. And I'm sure you have not eaten."

"Oo, hindi pa."

"Bihis na. We're not going stay here. Ang liit ng kwarto mo, it's suffocating," he said.

"Okay."

Bigla syang nag-iba, natawa almost. "Trite called. He's mad. He's asking about the shirt. Bakit ko daw suot ang tee nya na bigay nya sa'yo? Nasabi na ba nya sa'yo?"

Tumango ako. "I hadn't explained. I was shocked that he was immediately mad. And I just heard about Dad's operation when he called. Mangungutang nga sana 'ko sa kanya pero galit na galit naman sya. He thought may nangyari sa'tin. Binaba nya rin yung phone agad kasi his lola had died."
