Armel's POV

Hindi ko pansin ang pagbati sa akin ng mga staff ng hotel ng dumating ako doon.  Basta ko na lang ipinarada sa harap ng valet ang kotse ko at inihagis ko sa kung sinumang valet driver doon ang susi.  Ilang gabi na akong sa penthouse suite nag-i-stay sa pagbabakasakali na makita si Rosey.  Nakita ko nga siya kanina pero sa malas, para naman siyang nakakita ng multo ng makita ako.  Hindi ko maintindihan kung bakit biglang nagkaganoon?  Hindi ko maintindihan kung ano ang palabas niya.  Was she playing hard to get?  Shit.  Ayoko sa babaeng maarte pero if that was her play, I am willing to play along just to get her.

            Naglakad ako papasok sa loob ng hotel at agad na may lumapit sa akin galing sa reception.  It's Suzanne.  Personal secretary ni daddy.

            "Good evening, Armel.  Your dad said you have a meeting with Estelle.  She is staying at room 604," sabi niya sa akin habang sinasabayan akong maglakad.

"I just had a meeting with her in Pan Pacific.  Meeting na naman?  Ano ba 'to?  Wala na ba akong ibang imi-meet ngayong araw kundi si Estelle?" Iritableng sagot ko.

Natawa si Suzanne sa sagot ko.  Sa tagal na niyang secretary ni daddy, kabisado na niya ang moods naming mag-ama.  She has been my dad's assistant for almost twenty years.  Dito na nga siya nagka-edad and I am thankful for her kasi hindi niya pinapabayaan si daddy kahit na nga minsan, masyado ng personal ang ibang trabaho niya.  I heard last time that, kahit sa bahay ay nag-i-stay na rin siya just to attend to my dad's personal needs.  Hindi ko alam kung ano pang klaseng personal needs iyon but, hey.  If it makes my dad happy, who am I to complain?  My daddy was old enough to knew what he wanted in his life.

"Armel, you know your dad.  Hindi iyon titigil hangga't hindi nangyayari ang gusto niya.  And right now, you know what he wants.  He wants you to get married and have a family," sabi niya sa akin.

"I am going to get married and I am going to have my family but not with Estelle.  Geez." Naiiling na sagot ko.

Lalong natawa si Suzanne sa sagot ko.

"Have fun with the meeting.  Remember, room 604." Kumaway pa siya sa akin bago ako tuluyang talikuran.

Fuck.   Instead of going to the 6th floor, I decided to go straight to the penthouse.  Hindi ko ibibigay ang gusto ni dad.  I don't want Estelle.  Shit.  Kilala naman niya ang babaeng iyon.  And, was he that desperate to see me married kaya kahit sinong babae na lang?  I'd rather stay alone than to be with any other woman besides Rosey.

            Pakiramdam ko ay pagod na pagod ako kaya pabagsak kong inihiga ang katawan ko sa malambot na kama.  Nilingon ko ang bedside table at nakakita ako ng dalawang miniature bottles ng Johnny Walker at kinuha ko iyon at ininom.  Magkasunod kahit nakakasuka ang lasa.  Nakakaginhawa ang pagguhit sa lalamunan ng init ng alcohol.  Nakaka-relax ang init na bumabalot sa katawan ko.  Ipinikit ko ang mga mata ko para lang muling makita ang mukha niya doon.

            I can see her even in my dreams.  Rosey was wearing the same dress when I met her.  The beautiful dress, soft cloth that wrapping her delicate skin.  How I wished I can take it off while touching her soft skin.  I can see her long black hair which was blown by the wind.  She walked towards me and gently caressed my face.  I was trying to tell her something, but she put her thumb on top of my lips sealing it, telling me not to say a word.  She slowly traced my lips using her tongue and I can't understand the heat that was invading my body.  I tried to taste her thumb and gently sucked it and she was just looking at my face while her mouth was partially open.  I wrapped my arms on her waist and pulled her closer to me.  I will never get tired looking at her beautiful face.  I kissed her and I can taste her soft lips.  I can feel the soft touch of her skin and I can smell the sweet scent of her femininity.
