Stolen lives

SL : 94

Kanina pa ako nakaupo sa sala. It's been twenty minutes and Seph hasn't come back yet. I decided to follow her.

Does it take years to throw garbage?

"Kuya Carding, si Seph? "

"Nasa labas pa sir. May kausap"

May kausap? Nang ganitong oras?

Lumabas na ako ng gate para makita kung sino ang kausap nito.

And there---I saw her with an old man----hugging each other.

Wth...

Then this old man left after few more minutes.

"You don't spare even that old man huh! Does he offer you anything-----

I stop when she turned to me.

She's crying...

She just look at me for a second then walk away.

I was left speechless

What happened?

I followed her upto her room...

"Who's that guy Seph?" I asked.

But she's silent and kept crying.

"I'm asking who's that old man?" I asked again and she replied.

"Don't you hear me? Who's that man?Aren't you satisfied huh? There's this guy in a bar, the one I saw just recently who sent you home, there's Matthew and there's Aleck. How many guys do you want?" I'm  almost shouting out loud coz I'm furious.

"Pwede ba Zack. Iwan mo muna ko" umiiyak parin ito.

"Just answer me. How many guys do you want for you to get satisfied? " I'm still shouting.

Tumayo ito mula sa pagkaka upo sa kama at hinarap ako "Ano ba talaga tingin mo sakin Zack? Babaeng pakawala. Na hindi mabubuhay ng walang lalaki. Ganon ba kasama ang tingin mo sakin ha?"

"When I say yes? What are you gonna do?" Paghamon ko dito.

"Wala---alam mo kung bakit? Dahil kahit sabihin ko sayong mali ang iniisip mo---hindi ka naman maniniwala di ba. Dahil naka program na diyan sa utak at puso mo kung ano ako. Kriminal, mukang pera, mangaggamit at babaeng pakawala. So ano pa ba ang ipapaliwanag ko"

"Are you happy with them?" The only words slip through my mouth

"Oo----yun ba ang gusto mong marinig. Oo, masaya ako sa kanila. Masayang ma----

I didn't let her finished what she's going to say.

I pinned her into the wall and kiss her hard.

I never leave her lips even a second though she keeps on pushing me. I forcely open her mouth----and kiss her more harder.

Then a slapped...

She's crying so hard now.

"Out" madiing utos nito.

"Seph---

"Out----out, get out" sigaw nito saka ako itinulak palabas ng kwarto nito.

She closed and locked her door in front of me.

"Sir Zack" humahangos na pagtawag ni kuya Carding mula sa labas ng bahay.

Mabilis ko itong pinuntahan.

"Bakit kuya Carding?"

"May babae pong naghahanap sa inyo. Importante daw po"

"Sino daw?"
