The Escort

Chapter 4

It's been a week since the last time I saw him, the first and last. But I feel sick, even in my dreams wala siya. Am I missing him? Ewan, hindi ko alam. Maybe yes or maybe no.

"Excuse me madam, eto na po yung mga files na pinapahanap niyo." Nora said.

I glance at her and nodded.

I think I need a drink to forgey him. He's been in my mind this past few days.

Thank god! Maaga ko natapos ang trabaho, so I am driving myself to the club. Wala namang masama magpakasaya diba.

Pagdating ko sa club, I park my car and walk inside.

I sat down on the bar area tutal mag isa naman ako.

"One tequila please." I ordered.

The bartender gave it to me and "Please make it coming." I added.

*

After 10 shots of Tequila I decided to go home. I paid my drinks and walk through my car.

Habang nag lalakad ako, napansin kong napaka dilim ng paligid.

Huminto ako saglit at sumandal sa may poste nahilo ako, medyo malayo pa naman kung saan ako nag park.

When I started to walk, someone grab my hand.

"Hey! What the hell! Bitawan mo ako!" sigaw ko sakanya, pero mukhang di niya ako naririnig. Hinigpitan pa niya ang hawak saakin.

"Wag ka ng umangal, we'll just gonna enjoy this!" at hinila niya ako papubta sa pinaka madilim na bahagi ng parking lot.

Please help me god! Someone's trying to rape me. Pero ayokong ipakita na natatakot ako.

"Pwede ba bitatawan mo na ako!" sigaw ko pero hindi parin tumigil.

Hinalikan niya ako sa labi, hinuhubaran na niya ako. Hindi ko na kayang pumiglas napaka lakas niya.

"What the fuck are you doing to her?" a man came out from the dark, lumapit siya saamin.

He grab the rapist and punch it so hard, until blood runs out from the man's face, tsaka lang siya tumigil.

"Are you okay?" his voice is familiar.

"I-I'm okay." tears roll down my face. He hug me. Yung pabango niya. I know this kind of cologne.

It's him.

"Lucy?! What the heck are you doing here by your self? " he recognized me too.

"I-I just think I need a drink so I came here. " I replied.

He took off his jacket and gave it to me, the bastard ruined my cloth.

"Come on, I'm gonna drive you home." he said and guide me inside my car.

The silence is defeaning all the way from my house.

"Were here." he announced.

Bumaba ako at binuksan ang pinto ng bahay.

"Want a coffee?" I ask him. Para thank you narin sakanya.
"Yeah, sure. Why not." he said.

We walk inside the house. "Make yourself comfortable." I said.

Umupo siya sa sofa, ako naman dumeretso sa kitchen para magtimpla ng kape niya.

"Here. Please stay here for a while, I'll just take a short shower." he nodded.

*
After showering I ran downstairs.

I saw him checking my childhood pictures. I just smiled.

"Hey."

"Hey, you're so cute." sabi niya saakin ako naman kinilig.

"Thank you." I replied.

"It's getting late, I should go." sabi niya.

"Wait, I just want to say how much thankful I am nung dumating ka kanina. Thank you. I owe you." I said and peck a kiss on his cheeck.

"Okay. Bye. See you soon."

Then he left.
