Aling Laskar Pelangi

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.

"Hector, totoo ang sinabi ko sayo. Gusto kong magka-in love-an tayo, at magkasama nang seryoso, tulad ng magkasintahan, mula sa pagiging estranghero hanggang sa magkaintindihan tayo. Gusto kong maranasan yung pakiramdam na pantay tayo. Ikaw si Hector, bilang si Hector na asawa ko at hindi tiyuhin ng ibang tao, at ako si Anne bilang si Anne na asawa mo at hindi kasintahan ng ibang tao. Mag-ipon tayo ng mga alaala, isang taon, dalawang taon, tatlong taon, sampung taon, kung okay lang sayo?" Inabot ako ni Hector at hinila para umupo sa kanyang kandungan, at sinabi nang mahinahon "Okay, pero, love, wala akong karanasan, kailangan mo akong turuan pa. Pero..." Hindi ko alam kung sinasadya ni Hector na biglang huminto at hinaplos ang kaniyang maiinit na labi sa gilid ng aking mukha "Pero... Pagdating sa pagkahulog, dapat ang lalaki ang mag-initiate. Maghintay ka lang, susuyuin kita."

Aku disiram segelas air oleh klien, tubuhku gemetar saat menghadapi makiannya, sementara Raisa Gunawan memeluk asistennya sambil menatapku dengan dingin.

For three years, I’d used my family’s connections to bring the company hundreds of millions in revenue. But at the quarterly meeting, the new intern stood before everyone, displaying my attendance and expense reports, and accused me of “unexcused absences” and “squandering company funds.” “These high-end clubs, these restaurants…” she declared, her voice ringing with self-righteousness. “She spends thousands of dollars every time! These are completely unnecessary expenses.” “I strongly advise the CEO to fire her immediately and save the company’s cash flow.” I glanced at Claude, the CEO. My old classmate. He knew exactly how much revenue each of those meetings generated. He also knew that when I wasn't in the office, I was at some bar, negotiating with investors, sometimes drinking until my stomach turned. But he just stared at me coldly. “Caroline, what’s your explanation for the absences and expenses Lia has presented?” I smiled. “I have nothing to explain.” They would all learn, very soon, the consequences of this little stunt.
