Her Debt

PAYMENT 17

The girl in front of me is wearing a maroon gown. Her gown glimmer as she walks, her heels makes a soft sound as she walks too.

Her porcelain back is exposed, her beautiful face is exposed as well. She have a very bright smile that can make your heart stop. She's way too gorgeous for a human.

I can see how beautiful the lady is in front of this huge mirror.

But behind her beauty is darkness... she's in the dark now.

"Come on."

A very handsome guy appeared in the mirror. That guy is wearing a three piece suit. He have a maroon tie to match the lady.

The handsome guy offered his arm to the beautiful lady and the lady accept it whole-heartedly. She loves this guy. She can't say no to him.

I love him and I want to unloved him but it's way too hard. How can I unloved him if his doing this now? If his being nice to me? I'm doomed.

We peacefully arrived at the party. The elegant looking party. Everything looks expensive.

"Stay here," the guy left me at a table.

Napabuntong-hininga ako habang sinusundan siya ng tingin. Will he comeback for me?

Bakit ba ko narito kung iiwan din naman pala niya ko? Sana di na lang niya ko sinama. Nanliit ang mata ko dito ng makipag-usap sa mga babaeng sa tingin ko ay kaedad ko lang.

What a scene.

Nangalumbaba na lang ako habang nililibot ang tingin sa event hall. Anniversary daw kasi 'to ng isang malaking kompanya. So this is the chance to talk to other businessmen, right? Boring.

Nanlaki ang mata ko ng may makitang napakapamilyar na mukha. Patay! Lagot! Bigti! Bakit siya nandito?

Napatungo ako agad at bahagyang sinilip ito kung nakita na ko nito pero mukhang hindi naman.

I'm dead if he see me.

Ang paalam ko sakanya ay pupuntahan ko si Nanay at hindi dahil nandito ako sa Cebu! Lagot na naman ako! Sana di niya ko makita. Cross finger.

Napataas ko ang hawak kong pouch ng bahagya itong tumingin sa kung nasaan ako.

Help me Father God! Double dead po ako dito kung sakali.

Pagnakita ako dito ni Kaine tapos syempre makikita din yun ni Gray. Lagot ka talaga, Mindy!

"You look constipated, gusto mo ba ng gamot?"

Napatalon ako at nanlalaki ang matang napatingin sa nagsalita. A guy with a brownish hair and a bright smile.

"H-Hindi... okay lang ako," saad ko.

Napatingin pa ulit ako kay Kaine na mukhang busy din naman. Bakit kasi hindi niya sinabi sakin na pupunta pala siya dito sa Cebu? At dito pa talaga sa event na 'to! Bakit ba hindi ko naisip na business minded din pala ang isang 'to.

"Looks like your hiding."

Napatingin agad ako sa lalaking kaharap ko at agad na umiling ng maraming beses.

"Hindi kaya! At sino ka ba? Bakit ka ba nandito?" Pagtataray ko.

Ngumiti ito sakin. "Don't you remember me? I'm Jake, yung sa club."
