A Coffin For Dimitrius

"ฟ้า..." "ตบฉันที" "ห๊ะ?" "ฉันฝันหรือเปล่านะยุ นายมาอยู่ตรงนี้กับฉันจริงๆเหรอ..." "ให้ตบใช่มั้ย" ฉันพยักหน้า วายุเลื่อนมืออีกข้างที่โอบฉันขึ้นมารั้งต้นคอฉันไว้ส่วนอีกข้างที่จับข้อมือฉันอยู่เขาก็ปล่อยให้มันเป็นอิสระ ก่อนจะเลื่อนมันขึ้นมาประคอบใบหน้าฉันให้เงยหน้าขึ้น "อะ อื้อ" เขากดจูบลงมาบนปากฉัน บดขยี้ค่อนข้างแรงจนฉันส่งเสียงออกมาเพราะรู้สึกว่าปากแตก "ตบด้วยปาก" พอถอนจูบออกวายุก็พูดขึ้น ฉันยังคงมองหน้าเขา ฉันเจ็บที่ปากแตก ฉันเจ็บและรับรู้ถึงรสสัมผัสริมฝีปากของเขา เรื่องจริง ฉันไม่ได้ฝันไปจริงๆ... ฉันโผเข้ากอดวายุ ใบหน้าฉันแนบกับแผ่นอกเปลือยเปล่าของเขา หูของฉันได้ยินเสียงหัวใจของเขา "ฟ้า..."

**Madilim na Romansa** Mahirap ang pagiging bagong estudyante. Si Mary ay mahiyain, introvert, at mas gusto ang mapag-isa sa kanyang mga libro kaysa sa mga tao. Ngunit sa kanyang bagong paaralan, nag-iba ang lahat nang mapansin siya ng mga maling tao. Nakuha niya ang atensyon ng bad boy ng paaralan na nagsimulang mang-uyam at mangutya sa kanya. ***** Nilaro ko ang aking mga daliri habang nakatitig siya, hindi siya tumigil sa pagtitig at nahihirapan akong makipag-eye contact sa kanya. Ang kanyang titig ay nagpaparamdam sa akin ng hindi komportable. Hindi ko maiwasang magtaka kung ano ang ginagawa niya rito nang mag-isa. "Mary Davies," bulong niya sa pangalan ko. "Virgin ka pa rin ba?" Nakangisi niyang tanong. "Hmmmn... Hindi nagalaw. Inosente. Tulad ng matagal ko nang pinapangarap." Bulong niya, habang dinadaan ang isang daliri sa aking collarbone. "Mag-eenjoy ako nang husto kasama ka," bulong niya ulit, habang hinahalikan ang aking earlobes. "Ang saya-saya." Dagdag niya, habang lumalayo sa akin. Nagsimula siyang maglakad patungo sa pinto. "Magkikita tayo mamayang gabi."

Celia Johnson, my boss's sister-in-law, joined the company as the finance director and announced that all reimbursements must strictly follow the standards. I spent an entire week running around for the company and finally closed a five-hundred-thousand-dollar deal. Because the client had used two extra packs of paper towels, the per-person amount for their meal ended up eight dollars over the limit. Celia folded her arms, glanced at the reimbursement form on my desk, and sneered. "Five hundred and eight dollars?" "Yes. Last night at The Peak Restaurant, where we closed Richard's deal. Zack was there too," I explained patiently. "Eight dollars over the per-person limit. Not reimbursable," Celia said coldly. I tried to reason with her. "This was a special case. The client is high-level, and the deal amount is large, and Zack personally said it would be fully reimbursed last night." She returned the reimbursement form to me. "I don't care who said that. Don't think closing a five-hundred-thousand-dollar contract lets you ignore company rules. Reimbursements must all follow policies. Everyone will follow them to the letter." I took a deep breath. I knew arguing with her head-on would get me nowhere, so I called Zack directly. Zack said, "I did say it would be reimbursed, but I never said company rules could be ignored. It's just five hundred. And you still get commission from closing the deal. You young people need to have perspective." I stopped arguing. I turned around and refused the delivery containing the hard copy of the five-hundred-thousand-dollar cooperation contract, smiling as I explained, "Company rules say all cash on delivery packages must be refused. "Also, today is my last day here. Starting tomorrow, I work for Richard's company. As the client, I will be setting the rules this time."
