Larika F.S My eyes drifts and drops as soon as I realize where we’re going. “No way…” namilog ang mata ko ng tama nga ang hinala. We parked on the lobby of Meducy clothing line. “No not again with the tailors…” Halos nagmamakaawa ang boses ko, and I caught Primo grinning pero madali lang. Ngumuso ako at inis na umayos ng upo. Magiging impyerno na naman ang kaganapan sa loob ng lugar na ito. Demons are inside, there’s no way hell wouldn’t be there as well. Ngayon palang nanunuyo na ang lalamunan ko. Pero wala akong nagawa kundi ang sumunod kay Primo. Nasa likod ako nito na parang takot at tipong nagsumbong sa itay nito. “Stand straight. You’re D’arcy.” Kasabay ‘nun ay sunod-sunod na yumuko ang mga trabahante, and with Primo’s confidence and pose, parang nagkaroon ‘din ako ng lakas ng loob. “You’re D’arcy…” those words echoed on my mind. Dahan-dahang umayos ako ng tayo, at kahit suot ko ang uniform ng bar, may kumpansiya ako dahil kasama ko ang taong nasa harapan ko. Hindi ko ala
Larika F.SIt was already night, and the skies are already dark but the beauty of it's mysterious color give shine in the season of longing. Typical night at BGC, may kaingayan sa rami ng tao. Nandito kami ngayon sa Uptown mall, at kahit gabi na ay marami parin ang tao. Hindi ko alam kung ano ba talaga ang rason kung bakit kami nandito, but I stayed quiet the whole time. Ng tumigil kami sa isang exclusive restaurant ay napagtanto ko na ang destinasyon namin. Pero bago paman kami makapasok ay pana’y na ang tingin at tigil ng mga tao upang obserbahan kami. As if they’ve seen us somewhere and they are figuring it where. Maybe because recently, Primo just announced the new face of Kamari, his wife, at ngayon ay gulat at pagtataka parin ang nasa utak ng mga tao. I wonder how big this Kamari is in this Industry. Kaya bago paman kami pumasok ay dinumog na kami ng ilang fans. I was startled by the sudden attention I get from random people, at higit sa lahat, sa isang public place pa.
Larika F.S“Who really are you Kamari D’arcy?” kuryusong tanong sa sarili. Lahat ng dapat kong malaman ay nalaman ko kagabi. Their history and all. Primo and I talked about it until the time we were tired talking. Hinatid niya ako sa bahay at pinasalubungan ko naman ang mga kapatid ko. “Kamari Sevillano D’arcy. A wealthy female actress that married the CEO of the Line-Tech Company. They formally announce their marriage, and will consider having an off-springs.” Sa lahat ng balitang nakuha ko, iyon ang tumatak sa akin. Am I wicked to think na mas maganda ako sa kanya? I shrug off that idea. Basi kasi sa mga nakuhang litrato ko sa internet, marami muna ang nam-bash sa kanya dahil sa itsura nito? She has a fair skin but flat nose, but she got a good posture. Hindi ‘rin siya katangkaran gaya ng ibang artista. But one thing the media knows based on the internet, mahal na mahal siya ng mga tao dahil sa galing nito sa industriya ng pag-aartista. Sabi pa nga ay skilled actress na ito, a
Larika F.SAll I can think is chopping Primo as I grind his inside slowly and freezing to death, burying him six feet under, just to inhale the revenge I've been wanting to do.Pero paano ko magagawa iyon when he has the power and authority to make me flinch and tremble my knees? Tingin palang malulisaw kana, what more magasalita na.Kahit sino mapapa-amo. I was pouring the hot water habang tinitimplahan siya ng kape. I didn't know what kind of coffee he like cause I haven't prepared him this drink.Alak oo.I've gave my service with the best liquor and best stunt I got. Maraming paraan upang gumawa ng kape dito, may machine nga na kayang gumawa ng ilang segundo lang. But I don't know why I'm making an effort to tear the sachet and pour the hot coffee, carefully.I'm a bartender, not a barista. Not that he command me to make a coffee, or get one, pero bakit sinasayang ko pa ang oras ko dito?I didn't put any sugar, instead, I mixed it with milk whisked.May ibang tumitingin pa sa ak
Larika F.S.Sa magulong mundo, makakahanap ka ba ng kapayapaan?Sa magulong kapayapaan, makakahanap ka ba ng kapahingahan?Sa magulong kapahingahan, makakahanap ka ba ng tahanan?Cause for me, thousands of words in the dictionary, but the definition of "peace" has given me only a vague understanding. It's a word that seems so elusive.Kaya eto ako, ginagawa ang mga utos ng aking ama para lang makuha ang inaasam na gantimpala. Pero sa tingin ko, ito ay kamalasan."It's work now, Mrs. D'arcy. Wear the fucking clothes I've sent you, or I'll strip you naked to make you wear it," Primo huskily whispered in my ear as he sucked on my earlobe, making me groan."Punishment is cruel, bimbo. Better do as I say." And with that, he left me backstage, leaving everyone in shock.If God would let me choose a life, I'd rather choose not to have one at all.Everything happens for a reason, and that fucking night aligned everything with torment and a revolution of wrath."Pa! Ano na naman 'to? Ang laki-l
Laraki F.S.It's daytime at kasalukuyan akong nag-aayos bago paman bumukas ang club."Ikaw ngayon?" Tanong sa akin ni Julius sa kabilang linya."Oo eh, ako na muna ngayon. Ikaw nalang bukas, ayos ba? Ipina-utang ko kasi kay Papa yung huling 15 days ko na sweldo." Naka-ipit ang cellphone ko sa aking taenga't balikat habang nilalagyan ng icecubes ang lagayan nito.Sigh of Julius can be heard on the another line, and I know what he meant by that response.Disappointed na naman kay Papa."Meron pa ako ditong pera, baka gusto mo na munang utangin." His voice were filled with sadness and concern."There's no need. Alam mo namang may trauma ako sa utang-utang na 'yan. Baka sa susunod, buhay ko na ang ibayad ko." I laughed fakely, and he seem not happy about it."'Wag kangang magbibiro ng ganyan." Pagsasaway nito sa akin. I laughed at his remark.Julius, the lifesaver of all time hath never failed to be right there by my side. Sa totoo nga niyan, he recommended me to his boss na dito mag-traba
Primo Z.D. "Julius? Ang init..." She murmured under her breath. Napalunok naman ako, I wasn't responding on her. My body is heated and melted with her pitchy voice, especially when she whispers. Nagulat ako ng umayos ito't umupo, nakapatong parin sa katawan ko. I moan as soon as she seat on my center. Why do you have to torture me like this? Seeing her revealed body makes my eyes flint in fire. Those skins... Their, perfect. "Julius, tanggalin mo damit ko... Ang init!" She whispered. I kept on hearing Julius, is that her boyfriend? If so, why would that fucking bastard leave a goddess in this shitty place? "Julius kaibigan naman kita ah! 'tanggalin mo na 'to." A smile formed in my lips. So Julius is not her boyfriend? Good. But how can she ask a friend to take off her clothes. She struggle to remove her clothes, and I laying on the couch, not wasting the opportunity to witness this occurence. She's damn beautiful. A blessed woman who got the essence of being pretty. She was
Larika F.S. Nagising ako sa ingay ng telepono. Inis kong hinanap kung saan nanggagaling kahit halos matumba ako sa sakit ng ulo at kahapdian ng mata. On top of that, the center of my thighs feels more painful than ever. I wasn't concern about it at all at nakatuon ang atensyon ko sa paghanap ng telepono. It might be my boss. Luckily, it was beside the table. I immediately grab it without even checking the caller, but I felt weird holding it. The width felt different as well as the thinness. I answered the phone while eyes closed, still asleep. "Hello, sino 'to?" Silence collapses on the other line, but later on speaks from someone I don't know. "Who's this? Why are you using my son's phone?! Are you a thief?!" Nanlaki ang mata ko sa boses ng babae sa kabilang linya. Kung kanina'y tulog ako, ngayon ay sabay-sabay na gumising ang dugo ko't kaisipan. I harshly look on the surrounding, and I was left speechless seeing myself inside a room I don't know. And there's more, the phone wa
