Love, Rameng (Completed)

Bean Counter

Ilonggo Version

RJ turns over his salary account ATM to Menggay. He asks her to handle their finances.

Menggay stresses out. She sets aside funds for RJ's weekly allowance, her own expenses, plus their contribution to RJ's parents.

She writes down everything, including the candy she buys from the store near her college.

RJ comes home from work and finds her tearing up. She is missing a peso.

"Pangga, indi na maghibi," he wraps her in his arms. "Pisos lang guid na."

"Pero ginpangabudlayan mo na."

"Sus a. Nahulog lang to guro."

She cries again. "Gaka guilty kooooo."

"Amo ni, mabuligay ta anay mag budget? Gusto mo?"

She nods.

"Pero bayran mo ko anay sang nadula mo nga pisos."

"Pano?"

"Sakit likod ko, masahe na lang."

"Ay, abaw. Kabarato masyado sang pisos. Wala ka na gani mabakal sina subong. "

He puts a finger on her mouth.

"Shhh." He nips her ear and unbuttons her shirt.

"Ga paanga lang ko."

He gives her a full body massage. On the house.

"Pangga, huwag ka nang umiyak," he wraps her in his arms. "Piso lang naman."

"Pinaghirapan mo kasi yun."

"Sus. Nahulog lang siguro yun."

She cries again. "Nagui-guilty akooooo."

"Ganito.  Okay ba sa 'yo kung magtulungan muna tayo mag budget? Mas gusto mo ba yun?"

She nods.

"Pero bayaran mo muna ako sa nawawalang piso."

"Pa'no?"

"Sakit ng likod ko, masahe na lang."

"Ay, naku. Masyadong mura. Wala ka nang mabibili sa piso ngayon. "

He puts a finger on her mouth.

"Shhh." He nips her ear and unbuttons her shirt.

"Naglalambing lang po."

He gives her a full body massage. On the house.
