Falling In Love With A One-night Stand By Melina Levine

“Let’s make a deal. Papayag ka sa kasal—just for show. Para kay grandpa. Name only, no real marriage. No interference in each other’s lives. Kapag gumaling si Lolo, magdi-divorce tayo. Bilang kapalit, bibigyan kita ng financial compensation.” Napamaang si Nathalie. Compensation? Hindi niya naituloy ang pagtanggi. Naalala niya ang kapatid niyang naghihintay ng pambayad para sa gamutan. Isa pa, kaya naman talaga siya pumunta sa Zamora ay para humiram ng pera. Nakita ni Cedric ang pag-aalinlangan niya. Dagdag pa nito, “As long as you agree, kahit magkano—ikaw ang bahala.” Tahimik na nagbilang si Nathalie ng hininga. Ilang sandali pa, tumango na siya. “Okay, I agree.” Bahagyang ibinaba ni Cedric ang paningin, tinatago ang malamig na ngiti sa kanyang mga mata. ‘Isang babaeng kayang ipagbili ang kasal para sa pera… how cheap,’ naisip niya.

"You left without saying a word, Ciana. Hinanap kita, naghintay ako. Umasa akong babalikan mo 'ko dahil baka sakali na maisip mo ako," napatitig ako sa mga mata niyang kulay kayumanggi ngunit lumuluha. "Tapos ngayon babalik ka na para bang walang nangyari?" nakagat ko ang ibabang labi kasabay ng pagyuko sa kaniyang pangunguwestyon. "Sinisisi mo 'ko kasi hindi kita magawang kausapin ng maayos? Pansinin tulad nang dati?" napapikit ako ng matapos niyang sabihin iyon ay hinampas niya ang pader sa aking tabi. "You think I'm okay? Nasasaktan ako Ciana, kahit sorry man lang galing sa mismong bibig mo wala akong natanggap." Tinitigan ko siya ngunit ako mismo ang nasaktan nang umaagos na ang luha sa mga mata niya. "I'm sorry," mahinang sabi ko. "This is not the right time to do that, because I can't f-forgive you for l-leaving me." Malamig niyang sabi ngunit bakas ang hirap sa pananalita. "Mahal kita at nakalimutan kong may gusto ka nga pa lang iba," hindi ko siya makapaniwalang tinitigan dahil sa sinabi sa akin. "I'm leaving." Paalam ni Mateo tapos tumango at lumabas na ng kwarto.

Ang pagkakamaling gabi ni Faye at Aljur. Habang hinihintay ni Aljur ang kaniyang fiancee sa loob ng isang hotel, upang surpesahin ito sa kanilang anniversary. Ay hindi inaasahan na ibang babae ang maliligaw sa kaniyang kwarto. Hindi napansin ni Aljur na ibang babae ang kaniyang nakasiping at ito si Faye. Kinaumagahan, dali-dali na umalis si Faye nang matuklasan niya ang kaniyang sarili na katabi ang hindi kilalang lalaki. Tumakas si Faye dahil sa kaniyang takot. Ngunit, nang magising si si Aljur ay agad niya itong pinahanap. Upang alokin ito ng malaking pera at pagtahimik ni Faye. Sa hindi inaasahan, ay muling nagkita si Aljur at ang kaniyang fiancee na si Shantell habang hinahanap pa ni Aljur si Faye. Mauudlot kaya ang paghahanap ni Aljur kay Faye? Paano kung hindi tanggapin ni Faye ang alok ng lalaki? Maitatago ba ang mga naganap? O ito ang magbabago ng lahat?

Habang inaayos ang sarili, inilabas niya ang kanyang pitaka at kumuha ng isang libo, balak niya itong iwan sa kama bilang isang uri ng "paliwanag." Ngunit bago pa niya mailapag ang pera, biglang nagsalita ang babae. “Ano'ng ibig sabihin niyan?” Napatingin siya sa babae—gising na ito at nakatingin sa kanya habang nakapatong ang baba sa kamay nito, may bahagyang iritasyon sa kanyang mga mata. Lalo siyang natulala nang makilala ang babae. Hindi niya inaasahang siya ang makakasama niya kagabi—si Lucille Largon, matalik na kaibigan ng kanyang asawang si Mariane.

"Iwasan mong lagi akong tingnan, bawal yan," sabi ni Kara habang kumakain. "Bakit bawal?" Kinakabahang tanong ko. Nag-iba ang pakiramdam ko, ewan ko ba sa babaeng ito, may lahi yata mangkukulam. "Baka ma-inlove ka."
