CLARA was still awake and staring at the ceiling, habang si Armand ay tila hindi pa tapos dahil panay pa ang halik nito sa kanyang leeg patungo sa kanyang mga balikat. They just done from two round sex and she was indeed tired. And she can't believe her self na nakaya niya ito, at hindi niya maikakailang nagustuhan niya ang nangyayari sa kanila ni Armand. He was gentle at all, at unti-unti na siyang nasasanay sa bagay na ito.
"A-Armand..."
"Hmmm?"
"Salamat nga pala dun sa ibinigay mo sa akin kahapon. Parang sobra ata yung ibinigay mong pera." Kwento niya.
Napatigil si Armand sa ginagawa niya kay Clara. He lay on the bed beside her properly, and look up to the ceiling. "Wala yun. That's just a piece of thousand."
"Sabagay, mayaman kana man." She chuckled.
Na-agaw ang pansin nilang dalawa sa tumunog a cellphone ni Armand na nasa lamp table. Inabot iyon ni Armand at tinignan ang screen ng cellphone, of course because Clara is just beside him she saw the screen, it was a registered name Bettina that was calling. Pero napakunot-noo siya ng makita ang picture nito.
Armand ignore the phonecall. And he tiredly put back his phone on the lamp table.
"Sino si Bettina? Girlfriend mo?" She curiously asked.
Armand glaced at her, he didn't bother to answer her question. He roll again inside their blanket at hinalik-halikan muli ang ibabang bahagi ni Clara.
She groan a bit. "Alam mo, parang nakita ko siya kanina." Kwento niya.
Arnand stops. "Talaga?"
"Oo... Kung hindi ako nag-kakamali, sa grocery ko siya nakita."
Napailing-iling si Armand. "That's impossible. She's in California."
Clara frowned. "Patingin ulit ng picture niya."
He shake his head again. Umahon siya at ngayo'y nasa ibabaw muli ni Clara. He positioned himself in between her legs. "That's impossible, dahil nasa U.S. si Bettina. At next week pa ang uwi niya."
Clara bit her bottom lip when she felt his erecting tip on her intrance. "B-Baka nga nagkakamali lang ako." She chuckled a bit and looked away from Armand's intense stare at her.
"Alam mo Clara..." He caress her cheek. "Maganda ka... Sayang ang ganda mo, kung sa ganitong trabaho ka lang babagsak." He murmured while staring at her eyes deeply.
She glance at him, pero tila nagsisi siyang timitig sa mga mata nitong tila nakakapaso, she immediately looked away. "Eh saan ba dapat?" She chuckled bitterly.
Nanatili namang tahimik si Armand na nakatitig sa kanya.
"Ang katulad ko'ng ni hindi nakapag-tapos ng high school ay walang puwang sa katulad ng mundong ginagalawan ninyo Armand."
He just sighed. "Pero bakit sa dami ng trabaho? Yung ganito pa?"
"Hindi mo maiintindihan Armand. Para sa mga katulad ko, kung gusto pang mabuhay ay kahit sa patalim kakapit talaga kami."
He suddenly claim her lips. Clara can't help to moan while responding to his kisses. "Let's meet again tomorrow, as usual?" He said between their kiss.
Napalunok si Tricia. "S-Sige... Ikaw bahala."
AFTER their very intense third round, kahit medyo pagod si Tricia ay pinilit niyang bumangon. That was already in midnight. Armand headed to his bathroom to pee, saka nagbihis si Clara.
Saktong paglabas ni Armand ay nakitang nag-aayos nalang ng buhok si Clara and she's ready to go, nakaupo ito sa kama.
"You are leaving?" He asked as he walk towards her and sit beside her on the bed.
She nodded.
"Why not, bukas nalang. Tutal eh malalim na ang gabi at delikado pa sa daan."
"May gagawin pa kasi ako bukas. Kaya kailangan ko'ng umuwi ngayon."
"Ihahatid na kita." He was about to put his clothes on when Tricia stops him.
"Huwag na, Armand mag-tataxi nalang ako."
"Pero gabi na..." He suddenly sniff her shoulder.
She stiffen and shake her head. "O-okay lang, sanay naman na akong umuuwi nang gabi eh."
He sighed deeply as he get his wallet, inabot niya iyon kay Clara habang ngayon ay hinahalik-halikan niya ang balikat nito patungo sa leeg.
Clara curiously glance at him. "A-no to?" She ask while staring at his wallet.
Now his kisses are on her cheek. "Get whatever you want..." He whispered on the side of her lip.
Napalunok si Clara. "Seryoso ka ba?" She chuckle a bit.
"Yeah... Kahit ilan." He muttered and place his wallet on her hand.
Hinawakan iyon ni Clara and she just look at it. She shake her head. "Sigurado ka ba Armand? Alam mo bang kahit ilan dito kung gugustuhin ko ay kukunin ko?"
"Sure." He whispered again while his hands now are busy caressing inside her shirt in her abdomen, and he is still kissing her cheek down to her jaw.
She laugh bitterly at ibinalik iyon kay Armand. "Armand, hindi naman porke't sobra-sobra ang pangangailangan ko ay ganito na kababa ang tingin mo sa akin." Mapait niyang sabi at kumalas kay Armand, she immediately stand and grab her bag, she was about to touch the door knob when she felt his hand on her wrist.
"Hey, Clara... It's not what you think it is."
She look up to him and sighed. "Naiintindihan din naman kita... Kaya nga tayo nandito dahil kailangan mo ang katawan ko, kailangan ko ang pera mo. Pero hindi sa paraang ganun, na parang tingin mo pati savings mo ay agrabyado ako." and she looked away.
"I'm sorry, hindi naman ganun ang intensyon ko. I just wanted to help you, na kahit anong kailangan mo ibibigay ko... Sorry if I offended you."
Inirapan siya nito. "Okay na iyon Armand." She calmly said.
"Stay there, ihahatid na kita."
"Pero-"
"No buts! Clara..." He said while now quickly taking his clothes on.
NAGING tahimik ang buong byahe. Ayaw sana ni Clara na ihatid pa siya ni Armand ngunit mapilit ito kaya wala siyang magawa.
Clara told him to stop when they reach the intrance way to a populated area where most of the illegal settlers are belong, somewhere here parañaque.
"Dito mo nalang ihinto Armand."
"Saan ang bahay mo?"
"Wala akong bahay, umuupa lang ako. Tsaka medyo malayo-layo pa dun."
He frowned. "Ihahatid a kita doon-"
"Huwag na Armand, masikip ang daan at hindi kakasya ang sasakyan mo."
He nodded while watched her.
"Salamat sa pag-hatid." She beam.
"Let's meet again tomorrow, okay?" He said while smiling at her.
She nodded and smile, she finally turn her back to him and walk away.
