Mr. Tatto Wants Me 11. Shower.
The car stopped at the curb opposite Racher Art. Denis opened the door for Marra and retook her hand. The girl's courage was gone. She let herself be treated like a mindless body by Denis. They drove to Racher Art, and a key opened the main door; it was dark inside because the lights had been turned off when Denis left his house.He didn't press the light switch and preferred to rely on the light from the flashlight on his cell phone. Marra looked down, following wherever Denis moved, climbing the stairs until they entered a room-then. Denis pressed the light switch.The room's atmosphere greeted Marra's vision, and Denis let go of the girl's hand, ruffling her waist or occasionally adjusting her bangs."Why did you do that to me," Denis said after a long silence. He stood right in front of Marra."What? What did I do? I was following your orders-""Why do you have to cry like that!" Denis cut in, and he pointed at Marra. "I've never made anyone cry, so don't use it as a shield to pro
Mr. Tatto Wants Me 12. Stop and gone.
"Denis! Denis!" Jose dashed after opening the main door of Racher Art. Instead of pushing aside the curtains that blocked the light in the main room, Jose was more interested in confirming something else. He walked up the stairs. The door to Denis' room was already wide open even though its owner was still lying on the bed, and as usual, the man's body was shirtless. The blanket had been on the floor for some time. "Get up! Now you have to get up and explain it to me!"Jose was impatient, and he pulled Denis' legs until his best friend fell on the rug. "Argh! You're out of your mind!""Get up and tell me, what happened last night?" Jose ruffled his waist, waiting for Denis to get up and lean against the side of the bed, his messy bangs almost covering Denis' eyes. "You know, last night I was away on business, so I didn't have time to visit 24Night. Then, Jamie sent me a video of Marra trying to be a stripper. Jamie said it was all because of you. Is that true?"Curiosity and pent-up e
Mr. Tatto Wants Me 13. Different.
"Welcome to our new home, ma'am." Marra smiled broadly after opening the main door of a house that she managed to get the right to rent in just a day, yesterday while delivering pizza orders, Marra searched for information and made the most of the time to find a new place to live, she realized her wish quickly after seeing a poster attached to a lamppost by the highway-containing advertisements for new homes with quite friendly rental prices, especially Marra had just received a money transfer from Denis.She immediately contacted the real estate agent and saw the condition of the house when her work at the pizza shop was finished.However, not only did she get a new house, Marra was now unemployed after ending her job at 24Night and Luke's pizza shop.Quitting 24Night was easy, but getting permission to resign from Luke could be tricky because she had to beg in various ways. The man did not let Marra out of there, but Marra still hardened her heart and managed to get her wish.Marra
Mr. Tatto Wants Me 14. Unreachable.
Jose moved Sinigang–a sour soup, a hearty soup made from tamarind, tomatoes, shallots, garlic, and some vegetable condiments. Small fish or meat are usually added as crunchy toppings to enhance the flavor. With two empty bowls now filled, Jose puts the dirty pot into the sink and brings two bowls of sinigang to the table.The man looked up. Just above the kitchen was Denis' room, but his boss had yet to come downstairs to start their breakfast. Should the aroma of sinigang awaken Denis' subconscious, or was his pig's sleep growing on him?"That boy, can he not make me go up and down the stairs for a day?" Although grumbling, Jose still took off his apron and intended to pick Denis up in the room; unfortunately, before that could happen–the sound of clattering steps from the direction of the stairs could already be heard. Jose felt calmer, seeing that Denis had just come down. "You had a good dream, buddy."Denis shook his head, and his face was so wrinkled with bags under his eyes tha
Mr. Tatto Wants Me 15. A helper.
The four-wheeled vehicle stopped at the edge of the road right near the lamppost–a place where someone often lurks. He paid attention to the surrounding situation, more precisely to the straightforward house across the street, so quiet with the door tightly closed, no clothes drying, not even the curtains covering the windows were pushed aside. The light on the veranda was still on even though it was morning. Was this a sign that someone no longer inhabited the house?Denis began to guess in his mind. When he saw Aunt Romel coming out of the house, Denis immediately went out to the woman."Excuse me," Denis greeted her.Aunt Romel set the laundry bucket she was carrying on the grass, then looked Denis up and down while remembering something. "I feel familiar with you, and you're like ....""I'm Marra's friend.""Ah, right. You're Marra's friend who helped me take Lauren to the hospital that day, right? So, what are you doing here, kiddo?""I was wondering, is Marra at her house? It lo
Mr. Tatto Wants Me 16. Abnormal.
The man in the brown apron stood by the door, and he glanced at his watch to ascertain how long his body had been there. At the same time, his eyeballs were still busy watching a human of the same type–sitting facing the screen of a laptop and printer for more than half an hour, his hands busy hovering in various directions without being certain–about what he wanted from the computer, seemingly daydreaming until Jose finally chuckled."What's bothering you? What are you doing there?" Jose's question got no response, he thought his voice was loud enough, but Denis didn't even turn his head. The man's body was still in the chair, but perhaps his mind was wandering far and wide. No, it wasn't like Denis. These days the man rarely daydreamed, and Jose was a little afraid to think about the dark life his best friend had once enjoyed.Jose moved closer, and he tapped Denis on the shoulder. "What are you thinking, buddy? What are you looking at on your laptop?"Denis turned his head, a diffe
Mr. Tatto Wants Me 17. The girl with the umbrella.
"Are you going to buy this octopus, Auntie?" asked Marra of the woman across the table from her at the fish market. Still, it was almost empty by the time late afternoon reigned supreme, and it was raining so hard outside that every drop that hit the roof of the traditional fish market in that corner of Manila was like a drum beating in unison."Of course, even though I'm craving pinangat right now, I miss my hometown, it's been so long since I've been back there, and I can only feel it through pinangat." The woman with short hair was dreamy.Marra smiled faintly as she put some medium-sized octopus tentacles into a black plastic bag. "Pinangat, are you from Bicol?"The sad-faced woman looked at Marra and nodded. "You know. Then I'll cook adobong pugita instead.""That was very good, Auntie. Next time I'll leave out the catfish, tuna, and sardines so you can make pinangat. I promise." Marra gave the woman the black plastic."Alright, I'll come next time to collect." After paying for t
Mr. Tatto Wants Me 18. Two o'clock in the morning.
The Vespa and its rider pulled over in front of the low fence of someone's house. Tonight the weather was a little better without a touch of rain, but the temperature was still cold, considering the seasonal changes that seemed to slow down every second.North clutching a white pouch, the man's pair of steps led him to the tightly closed door of Marra's house. Just as his hand was about to knock on the door's surface, the house owner had already opened it, showing a flat, slightly intimidating look as his eyes watched North up and down.This was more like a scene where a wife was waiting for the return of her long–late husband. Marra's expression was not friendly, and the girl's arms folded across her chest.North swallowed, the man realizing more or less the error of his ways today, especially after he returned to the fish market and saw Marra's booth neatly closed without him finding the owner's whereabouts-plus the girl hadn't picked up a single call from North despite being connec
