"YOU know you can always back out Peach" I won't. I can see that Shiela's worried.
"And you also know that I won't Shiela" I spend the whole summer convincing my self to do this. I won't back down now.
"Peach magiging masaya ka ba talaga pag ginawa mo 'to? "
" I will be Shiela, I know you're just worried but you can't stop me now. I really want this" I said convincing her. Shiela is a good friend of mine. And I know that she really cares.
"Fine, but Peach you know I'm only one call away. Call me if something bad happens to you. If he did something bad to you, okay?" she said as she hugged me so tight.
"Chill Shiela, I will be okay" I smiled as I bid goodbye to her.
Mag isa na lang ako dito sa condo ko. I can't live with my parents , not until Dad give me permission to. He abandoned me 2 years ago. Well it was painful but I learned to just accept it right in his face.
Napatingin ako sa salamin sa tapat ng kama ko. I am ready for this.
I rushed to the my porsche. It's almost 10 in the evening. I'm sure andun na siya ngayon. I manuevered the car to Club X
I cheered myself, you can do this Peach. Have faith in yourself. I checked my self. I'm wearing my black halted crop top and a black jeans, red lipstick and big volume curled hair. I am ready
Maingay na music ang nadatnan ko pag pasok sa loob ng club. Everyone is dancing. Agad na hinanap ng mata ko si Dark. After of minutes of searching nakita ko din siya. There my Dark, wasted. He look so horrible. I can see tons of beers in front of him. Bigla akong nakaramdam ng awa. How can this man be so broken?. But I won't stop now.
"Dark" I said as I stepped close to him.
Tila hindi ako napansin ni Dark dahil mukhang sobrang lalim ng iniisip niya. He was about to the drink his alcohol ng hablutin ko ito sa kaniya. He looked up to me.
"What the hell are you doing here Peach?!" He said at ibinalik ang atensyon sa iniinom niya.
I sighed.
"Hello Yva? Yes, I'm with him. He's wasted now.... No it's fine I'll take him home. Yes Welcome" Sagot ko at ibinaba ang tawag kay Yva. It's Dark's sister.
"I don't need you here Peach. Just fuck off!" iritadong sambit niya sakin.
I just rolled my eyes. Itong lalaking 'to talaga kahit kailan.
"Come on, I'll take you home!" Hinatak ko siya sa kamay but he was just so heavy!
"Get up! Fuck you're a pig!" Hinila hila ko siya palabas ng Club at dinala sa sasakyan ko
" Leave me alone! Ano ba?! gusto kong mapag isa" Nagpupumiglas pa siya pero mukhang lasing na lasing na siya para labanan ako.
Isinakay ko siya sa sasakyan ko, dadalhin ko siya sa condo ko. He's sleeping, he looks peaceful kapag tulog. Sana lagi nalang siyang tulog.
"Hmmm... Ori.."
Napaapak ako sa break ng sasakyan dahil sa narinig. I looked at him. He is dreaming. Parang nanikip ang dibdib ko ng banggitin niya ang pangalang iyon. I could even hear my damn heart beating so loud. Damn it!
I started the engine again. I need to focus. You will not be the same vulnerable, Peach. Hold your conscience.
I was thanking God that we made it here in the condo safe and sound. Ang bigat bigat niya. Pakiramdam ko lalaki na ang muscles ko sa binti kinabukasan. I placed him into my bed.
"You look so innocent Dark. But I know more than that. You are far from being innocent" pabulong kong sabi sa kaniya. He won't hear me, he was just so asleep.
Nahiga ako sa tabi niya. There is space between us. I turned off the lamp shade. Tumalikod ako at pumikit na.
Nagising ako sa ungol na naririnig ko sa tabi ko. Napamulat ako ng mata at nakita si Dark na nakakunot ang noo pero nakapikit ang mga mata. He looks like he's having a nightmare.
"Ori.. please" Para akong tinanggalan ng puso ng sinabi niya na naman ang pangalang iyon.
"I'm sorry... " a tear escaped from his eyes. As he was saying sorry.
"Ori is gone Dark. She will never comeback" I said and left the room. Sa sala nalang ako matutulog. I can't stand sleeping with him.
MAAGA akong nagising ngayong umaga. Dark's still sleeping. I dialed Yva's number.
"Hi Yva" bati ko ng sagutin niya ang tawag ko
"Peach! Is kuya okay now? Asa condo mo ba siya ngayon?" I can hear that she's really worried.
"Relax Yva, he's okay. Okay lang ba kung sunduin mo siya dito? Tulog pa siya pero baka gumising na yun mamaya" I heard her sigh.
"Oo naman. Thank you nga pala Peach ha? ang bait bait mo talaga ewan ko ba diyan kay kuya kung bakit bad siya sayo"
"No worries Yva" binaba ko na ang tawag ng makita ko si Dark na pababa ng hagdan. Mukha siyang nagmamadali, gulo gulo pa ang buhok niya. But then he stopped when he saw me.
" P-Peach?" gulat na sabi niya pero bigla ding napalitan iyon ng galit.
"What did you do to me?!" hinawakan niya ako sa braso dahilan para mabitawan ko ang cellphone ko.
"Dark.. m-masakit" Hindi niya pinakinggan ang sinabi ko at lalo pang hinigpitan ang hawak sakin.
"Wala ka na bang natitirang hiya sa katawan mo ha?! Bakit ba hindi mo nalang ako layuan?!" because I'm not done with you yet. Gusto ko sanang sabihin.
"Desperada ka na ba talaga sa atensyon kaya pinipilit mo ang sarili mo sakin? Ano gusto mo ng pera?! Tangina sige ibibigay ko sayo basta layuan mo lang ako"
Hindi ko na napigilan ang sariling dumapo ang palad ko sa pisngi niya. How dare he say that to me? Hindi ako mukhang pera. Oo dati akong mahirap pero lahat ng nakuha ko ngayon dahil yun sa pag sisikap ko.
Magsasalita pa sana siya ng biglang bumukas ang pinto at iniluwa noon si Yva.
" Kuya!" She worriedly said at dali daling lumapit sa kuya niya. Nag iwas ako ng tingin ng balingan ako ni Dark.
"Let's go Yva" he said at hinatak si Yva.
"Thank you Peach" Yva said ngumiti lang ako.
Hindi pa sila nakakalabas ng magsalita ako.
"I am Peach Dark, but that doesn't mean I can't make your life more darker"
