Night Life in Tokyo

Chapter 13

"Girl, you're missing out a lot," bungad ni Sasa sa akin nang magkita kami sa ground floor ng building at hanggang ngayon ay pinaulit-ulit niyang binabanggit kahit nakaalis na kami. "But I understand what you're going through kaya no need to rush everything and I think na-enjoy mo naman ang locked-in stay mo sa unit mo."

She grinned at me like there's something between her smiles she means to say to me.

My face scrunched looking at her. "Anong klaseng ngiti 'yan, Sasa? Parang may binabalak kang masama sa akin, ah."

"Hoy, gaga!" Pagpalo pa nito sa braso ko. "Wala akong masamang balak. I just meant na na-enjoy mo kasi magkasama kayo ng boss mo all day and night! May nangyari na ba? Tell me something about it, bilis!"

Umiling ako sa pananabik niya. "No! Nothing happened at walang mangyayari sooner or later. Even if I wanted it, hindi ko papatusin si Trent. He's still my boss. He's paying me for my service and I can't go beyond that border. I'm just working for him at hindi isang kalaguyo."

"But you're a wifey material," panunudyo pa ni Sasa. "'Di ba, sabi mo, bet na bet ni Trent ang mga niluluto mo sa kanya? Maybe he's just testing you. Maybe naghahanap na siya ng mapapangasawa niya ngayon that's why he dropped that bitchy Albertyne away kasi nandiyan ka na. And you're on a six month contract for he could determine na swak ka nga bilang maging asawa niya. If that's really the case, ang ganda no'n 'no? You're already in the process of becoming his wife! Seilaverne Hu!"

"Yup! Seilaverne who?!" I squinted my eyes.

"Hu. Not who."

"Gaga, hindi mo gets 'no?" I sighed, rolling my eyes. "What I meant was who am I to be his wife, right? I can't imagine myself being a wife of him. For pete's sake, hindi naman 'yon ang ipinunta ko rito sa Japan. I came here to escape my problems from everything at ayoko nang pag-usapan 'yon. I'm just here to live a new life na malayo sa gulo."

"But Albertyne came," pagdugtong niya sa akin.

"Yes, she was pero hindi na ngayon. Trent already filed restraining order so she'll finally can't come to us at harassing us at some point. Kulungan ang makakaharap niya if she did that. And you have a crazy mind, Sasa. Kung saan mo man nakuha ang ideyang 'yon, pwede ka nang gumawa ng isang movie to set it all out. But it's not that case after all."

"Meh," she scrunched her face. "Hindi pa rin ako kumbinsido. But I'm so happy na kasama na ulit kita tonight. Mabuti na lang pumayag si Trent."

"It was actually a long discussion," I said. "Hindi pa niya sana ako papayagan lumabas pero napakiusapan ko naman siya. I just assured him na kasama kita at walang mangyayaring masama. He just don't want me to go to the clubs yet pero dahil nandiyan ka naman, makakahindi ba ako?"

"Hm..." Bahagya naman siyang napaisip sa sinabi ko. "If Trent said na bawal ka pang mag-club e 'di girl we're supposed not going to the clubs right now! Baka ako pa ang pagalitan ng boss mo at the end of the day."

"Hindi naman niya malalaman," sagot ko. "He has a busy life to know what's happening on my life. Ang inaalam niya lang naman sa akin ay kung anong mga ginawa ko at anong pakiramdam ko. Other than that, wala naman. Kaya don't assume na mag-e-end up na asawa ko 'yon. I think he's far from looking one. Gaya nga ng sabi ko no'ng nakaraan, his relationship isn't that serious that he's just playing around."

"And maybe that's the reason kung bakit hindi na rin siya nilubayan ni Albertyne."

"Maybe. Pero parang naging linta si Albertyne kay Trent but I can't say more dahil hindi ko naman talaga alam kung anong kwento kung paano sila nagkakilala."
