Isang Gabing Pagkahumaling
Room 1167.
I was just about to knock, nakataas na yung kamay ko, my fingers hanging just inches away from the door matapos walang sumagot sa doorbell.
For a second, napahinto ako. And I was about to step back, ready to leave and just report it, when suddenly—
Biglang bumukas ang pinto at hindi pa man ako nakaka react nang tuliyan ay may kamay na biglang humablot sa pulso ko papasok sa loob ng kwarto.
“Ah—!” Sa hindi inaasahang pangyayari, I was pulled inside.
“Argh.” Mahinang halinghin ng lalaki, his arms wrapped around my body like he had no strength left to keep himself up. His head suddenly dropped onto my shoulder, the weight of it catching me completely off guard.
May kakaibang amoy ang kaniyang kwarto, mabango ngunit sa katagalan ay nakakahilo, hanggang sa bigla nalang akong nakaramdam ng pagkainit sa aking katawan.
“W-what are you doing…” I managed to say kahit medyo nanginginig ako ng kaunti at kinakabahan.
I could feel his breathing against my skin, uneven and warm, slightly shaky.
“A-ang init.” Mahina niyang bulong habang dahan dahang inaalis ang kaniyang suot na coat.
“What the fuck is happening?” Bulong ko sa aking sarili at mas lalong nakaramdam ng kaba.
“Put me down!” Sigaw ko matapos niya akong buhatin at biglang ibaba sa kama.
For a second, everything happened too fast.
Nasa ibabaw ko na siya at mukhang hindi na kayang pigilan pa ang kaniyang sarili.
“Ohhh…” Mahinang ungol ko nang unti unti na niya akong halik-halikan sa aking leeg habang ang kaniyang kanang kamay ay marahang binubuksan ang butones ng uniporme ko.
My hands were tightly wrapped around his neck habang pilit siyang idinidiin sa aking leeg.
“Shit!” Ungol ko nang biglan niyang sipsipin ang aking dibdib habang bumababa ang kanang kamay niya sa aking pagkababae.

Chapter: CHAPTER 5“Oh ano, kilala mo na ba si bossing?” Bungad ni manager sa akin habang nag aayos sa counter ng mga gagamitin mo mamaya.Kakarating ko lang at kakasimula ko pa lang mag-prepare, pero ramdam ko na agad yung bigat ng shift na paparating. Mamaya-maya pa magbubukas ang bar, pero parang handa na agad yung gabi na maging chaotic. Patayan sa pagod, sunod-sunod na orders, at mga demanding na customer na parang laging nauubusan ng pasensya.Napatingin ako sa kanya habang inaayos ko yung mga gamit sa counter.“Bossing?” ulit ko, kunot noo, medyo naguguluhan.Tumawa siya ng mahina, parang tuwang-tuwa pa sa sarili niya.“Wala wala.” Napapailing niyang sambit, wala nanamang balak ipaliwanag sa akin ang kaniyang tinutukoy.Sino ba kasi yang tinutukoy niyang Boss namin. “Diba day off mo kahapon, andaming naghahanap sayo.” Tumatango tangong sambit ni Giselle, isa sa mga katrabaho ko na kaclose namin ni manager.“Ha? Hindi pa nga,” sagot ko agad, medyo defensive pero halatang may konting awkwardness.

Chapter: CHAPTER 4“Girl? What the fuck did you just did? Talagang sa exit ng bar niyo pa naisipan?” Gulat na sambit ni Ali her eyes wide in pure shock matapos marinig ang kwento ko.She literally stopped in her tracks, turning to face me fully like she was trying to process every single word I just said. Her expression was a mix of disbelief, confusion, and concern all at once, parang hindi niya alam kung maiinis ba siya o mag-aalala, o matatawa.Napabuntong hininga nalang ako, leaning slightly against the counter habang iniiwas ko yung tingin ko sa kanya for a second.“It’s not what you think,” I said quickly, raising my hand a little like that could somehow soften whatever picture she already built in her head. “It happened so fast. I was just trying to breathe and rest, and then—”“And then what? He just blocked you in the exit? Asking you if you want to try it?” She cut in, her voice getting louder, halatang hindi pa rin convinced at invested lalo.Nag alangan tuloy ako magsalita dahil sa reaction

Chapter: CHAPTER 3“Naks, promoted as bartender na ah.” Biro ng isa kong katrabaho na ikinatawa ko.“Nakikipag away sa customer kapag waiter e, ikulong na lang natin dito sa may counter,” biro ng manager habang tumatawa, sabay akbay sa akin na parang proud pa siya sa sinabi niya.Napailing na lang ako, trying to play it cool kahit nahihiya ako.“Grabe ka naman,” I said softly, may maliit na ngiti sa dulo ng boses ko, pero halata pa rin yung pagka-conscious ko.The bar was still busy around us, tunog ng mga babasaging baso, mga orders na tuloy tuloy, music slightly louder than earlier. Everyone was moving fast, like the night was only just starting to get more chaotic.Inalis ko yung tingin ko saglit sa manager, then went back to organizing what I was doing sa counter, trying to focus again.“Hindi naman ako nakikipag away,” dagdag ko, mas mahina na yung boses ko this time. “I was just… correcting what was wrong and defending myself.”My manager chuckled, still amused. “Correcting daw oh. Ang humble mo p

Chapter: CHAPTER 2When Ali found out about the incident that happened at the bar, she immediately went to me, nonstop as always, half worried and half teasing, clearly trying to confirm if I was really okay.“Girl, seriously? Bakit ngayon mo lang sinabi?” she kept asking, her voice full of disbelief habang sunod siya nang sunod sa akin na parang hindi ako pwedeng makaiwas sa mga tanong niya.I could only sigh, shaking my head a little as I continued what I was doing. “I’m fine, Ali. It already happened.”A week had already passed since that night. And thankfully, nothing like it happened again.Thank God, the man who harassed me never came back to the bar. “Sabi ng mga coworkers ko ay ipina-banned na raw yon sa bar.” I said. The management didn’t take it lighty, mabuti naman. And somehow, hearing that gave me a small sense of relief.“Good. Dapat lang sa kanya,” Ali said firmly, crossing her arms like she personally made the decision herself.“But still, sana sinabi mo agad ng mas maaga sa akin. I woul

Chapter: CHAPTER 1“Where the hell are you going, Scylla?” Inis na sigaw ng aking manager, halatang naiirita at hindi makapaniwala sa ginawa ko matapos kong bigla na lang mag-walk out. Hindi ako lumilingon. My footsteps were fast, mabigat ang bawat pag hakbang, and almost stomping. Ramdam ko rin ang init ng aking pisngi, hindi dahil sa sampal na ibinigay ko sa lalaking nambastos sa akin, kundi dahil sa eksenang nagawa ko kanina. The humiliation and the disrespect. Hindi porke waitress lang ako dito ay may karapatan na siyang mag mataas at basta nalang mambatos ng babae sa harap ng maraming tao. My jaw clenched so hard. “Breathe, Scylla. Breathe.” I kept telling to myself, trying to calm down pero mas lalo lang lumala ang panginginig ko sa sobrang galit. “Fuck him and his behavior.” Mahina kong bulong sa sarili ko. I just needed to get out as fast as I could. Out of place, out of his fucking presence. I hated it. I hated how I was forced into that situation. I hated how I had to defend myse
