His Sex Slave

LVII

"Miles?" Umikot ang tingin niya sa buong kwarto.

Where did she go?

He sat and pulled the blanket off of him. He stood and surveyed the whole room to see if his wife was there.

His forehead knotted.

Where's Miles?

Where could she possibly go?

His mind went into different conclusions.

Maybe she ate breakfast. His eyes searched for the digital clock on the bedside table to find out that it was eight forty-three in the morning. Yeah, maybe Miles did took her breakfast. He went out of their room and into the kitchen. He didn't smelt anything like something was being cooked or anything was cooked. He can't even hear any noise. His heart began to pound against his chest.

"Miles? Babe, are you there?" He called out while making his way to the kitchen. A condo isn't that big so he should be able to know where Miles is.

May ideya na nagsusumiksik sa isip niya pero ayaw niyang i-entertain. But as he search the whole condo and as his heart's beat become louder and louder, he can't help but think of that possibility over and over again. He can't just think about the situation like that, he just can't and he don't want to. He just can't...

He saw a crumpled paper near the door that leads to the porch of his condo. Kumunot ang noo niya but he bent down to pick it up. He opened it and he don't know why pero patindi ng patindi ang kaba niya.

It is so unmanly to do so pero hindi niya mapigilang hindi mamasa ang mga mata nang mabasa ang laman ng papel.

Damn that stupid possibility. You can never be so sure of anything.

"Fuck!" Tinabig niya ang vase na malapit sa kaniya and kicked the center table so hard that it flipped over kasabay ng pagsinghap niya dahil sa sakit na naramdaman, both physically, emotionally and mentally.

"Ma, Tita Alice, Tita Krista? What are you doing here?" gulat na gulat na tanong ni Mike nang mapagbuksan nang pinto ang tatlong matatandang babae.

Krista called Alice after she saw Keith in his condo unit, drunk and passed out. They both decided to call Mike's mom and went to Mike's house. They don't know what to do anymore.

"Mike, honey, do you know where Miles is?" ani ng Mommy nito.

Kumunot ang noo ni Mike, "No, why?"

Nagkatinginan ang tatlong babae and fear crossed their faces.

"M-Miles...Miles is missing!"

"What? Where did she go, Tita Alice?" tumitindi ang kunot sa noo ni Mike sa bawat pagdaan ng mga segundo. He was suddenly scared.

An awkward silence fell between the four.

"I don't know if this is right and I don't know if I should be the one to say it." panimula ni Tita Krista.

"What is it, Krista?" tanong ng Mommy ni Mike.

"I..." she took a deep breath. "I saw a crumpled paper in Keith's fist and I took it and grab it and saw something written on it. It says that..." she bit her lower lip. "Miles is going to States."

"WHAT?!"

********

"Calling for flight A12 number 3."

She took a deep and blink back her tears.

"Never look back, never look back..."

"Miles!" feelings rushed to her and she can't stop herself from looking back when she heard Keith's voice.

"Ma, I miss you!"

She was deeply disappointed. Akala niya si Keith na. Nag-ilusyon lang pala siya. She thought she heard him call her name.

Pinahid niya ang hindi namalayang luha na tumulo.

"He will never come and get me." she smiled wickedly. "This is the last time, Miles. Stop your stupidity."

She turned around, "I'll never cry for you again, Keith, never."
