Vice
I'm here sa Rebel, just having "fun" and drinking so I can forgot everything, everything that reminds me of Ana.
"Brad, lalim ata ng iniisip natin ngayon." said the bartender.
"Just work stuffs..." I looked at his name tag "Vhong."
"Pwede tayo mag-usap d'yan Sir. Mukhang hindi trabaho. Mukhang sa pag-ibig." I don't know but I feel like telling my problem to him. I actually get annoyed when somebody tries to mind my business.
"I'm not that kind of person that shares personal stuffs to strangers. But since you look like someone who can be trusted I'll tell you the story." I don't know why but I feel like I need to share this the stress and feelings to strangers.
Flashback
Today's my off, no work, no stress. I own a recording studio. I'm closed today dahil weekend. I need some rest even though it's not a big recording studio. I know everyone can record their own in their mobile phones, laptops, sa lahat ba naman ng technologies na mayroon ngayon. But I still choose this.
I'm here somewhere I can have some "fun" waste my time and money. I don't really know what fun is. I do have friends but I don't have the mood to join them. I want to have some alone time. Alone to stay away from all the stress. So I decided why I don't try singing?
Pumunta ako sa isang KTV Bar, it's the Rockstar Family KTV. I ordered a lot of foods and beverages even though I'm the only one who's going to eat and drink.
I got tired. I tried to look around it. The place is so beautiful. They have different types of rooms and they can really accommodate a lot of people here.
I saw one room, I think it's the Coldplay room? I don't really give attention. I saw a girl singing some Coldplay songs. She's really good, because of curiosity I tried to peek ng mas malapit. Then some staff saw me.
"Sir? Do you need anything?" she asked me holding a tray of used plates.
"Nothing. I was just looking for the bathroom." I tried to walk away and start looking for the "bathroom".
I was walking back to my room when I overheard some of the staffs talking about the girl in the Coldplay room.
"Bakla, ito talagang si Ma'am Ana iyak agad. Kasi naman yung asawa alam ng babae talaga hanap niyan. Nature niya na yun talaga." I saw them talking, I think they're talking about her.
"Mga ganyan talagang relationship 'di nag-lalast." the other girl said.
"Hoy wag niyo na nga silang pag-usapan. Trabaho na nga lang kayo d'yan." saway naman ng one of the staffs. She's kind of short and have a curly hair. Then I saw the other smiled and shyly walked away amd continue doing her work.
That lady from that room doesn't look like she have a problem. Going back to my room I looked again to that room. Medyo nakakawang pa rin ang door niya. But I have the urge again to peek.
Accidentally I opened the door wide open. I thought she wouldn't notice but she saw me. You can see her face have these tears still streaming down her face, her eyes are so puffy and her nose and cheeks are already red. I guess from all the crying. She looks so fragile.
"Hey, you!!" she called me using the microphone. "Come here! Join meee!"
I don't have a choice because she pulled me inside and closed the door and start singing and dancing like a drunk woman. I think she's really drunk. From all the beers on her table I can really tell she's drinking a lot already.
I was so lost of words. I want to go. I don't even know this woman. I think this is the "Ma'am Ana" they're calling a while ago. Ito yung niloko ng asawa. This is also the owner. But there is something about her. I don't know but for the first time in my life I got interested into somebody.
"Hoy, kanta ka dyan. Pick any songs you want. Ikaw sunod ha." she said still on her mic. "Anong pangalan mo?"
"Vice." I said in my normal tone and volume.
"Ano?! I can't understand you?" lumapit siya sa akin and pointed the microphone to me. "Say your name again, louder this time."
"Vice."
"Rice! Oh, I love Rice! I love Rice." she started swaying, singing and chanting that over and over again.
"It's Vice not Rice!"
"Whatever Rice! Let's sing and have fun!"
I sighed in defeat and watched her walwal. That's what I do. Watched her have "fun".
"Rice! Pagod na ako, can you take me home?" I sighed in how she said my name. And she really trusts me like that.
"You trust me? You can even pronounce my name properly Miss--" before I got the chance to finish my sentence she fainted. Luckily I caught her.
So what am I gonna do? Leave her here? She's the owner so there's no problem leaving her here. What should I do? I don't even know her or her address.
"You are giving me a lot of work Missy." I lift her up and put her in my back. I put her arms around my neck and wrapped her legs to my waist.
"Hmm..." I heard her murmur something but I can't clearly hear because of all the loud music.
"I'm going to ask your staffs kung 'san ka nakatira. Ihahatid na kita." I don't know what hit me, parang gusto ko siyang makasama ng mas matagal kahit alam kong wala na dapat akong pakialam.
I asked one of the staffs. They don't actually trusted me but when I gave them my calling card and the give her one of my ID. She told me somewhere in Makati.
I drove her all the way to Makati. I looked at her. She look so wasted. When we arrived I asked one of the security guards if this lady lives in this building and I asked what's the room number. The security guard trusted me easily and said the information I needed.
When we arrived the room I tried looking for her key card.
"Hey, san key card mo?" I asked her even she's so bangag and all.
"Wait," she put her hands inside her shirt and pulled something in her chest part. This girl is weird. "here."
"You are really giving me a hard time." I sighed and tried to put her on the sofa.
"Hmm... help me remove my shirt pwease!" okay that's too much.
She's really drunk and wasted. Kung ibang tao ang kasama nito malamang sa iba siya dadalhin. She have the looks and body pa naman.
"Hay nako. Bahala ka na dyan." I stood up and walked away but I stopped when she holds my hands and pulled me closer to her. Now I'm on top of her.
"You're so cute Rice hihihi." she said it caressing my as if she knows me from a long time. "I like you, I like your eyes, your nose, and that kissable lips of yours is damn fine. It makes me want to kiss you."
I was lost for words. How can she say does such things to me. For heaven sake she's married. So is this what she does? Cheat? This is all wrong. I need to get up and stop her from what she's going to do. This is just all from our desires, all for lust.
But I forgot everything when she started kissing. She pulled me closer to her more. I know I should stop, because this is so wrong. I don't want to have a one night stand to a woman who's married. But I did. I let myself in. Ang hina ko, I was so weak. Nagpadala ako sa temptation. I gave in.
Hi to my friend!
