"do you know how to dance?" he asked. Napailing akong napapayuko na mahigpit nakahawak sa laylayan ng damit ko. Napahinga ito ng malalim. Napaiktad ako nang tumayo ito mula sa pagkakaupo sa sofa at lumapit na napapisil sa baba kong itiningala ako dito. Hindi ako makatitig sa kanyang mga matang matiim akong tinitigan. Para akong matutunaw. Hindi ko siya kayang titigan sa mata. Pakiramdam ko'y malulusaw ako. Nakakalunod makipagtitigan sa kulay asul niyang mga mata. Mga matang napakasungit kung tumingin. "so tell me, how can you pay me hmm?" sensual niyang tanong na napapakagat ng ibabang labi. Napalunok akong napasunod ng tingin sa kanyang mga labi. Unti-unti siyang napangisi na mas inilapit ang mukha! Napakapit ako sa kanyang polo nang akmang sasayad na ang kanyang mga labi sa akin! Sobrang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko. Hindi makatingin sa kanya. Mahina itong natawang ikinaangat ko ng tingin dito. "tell me young lady, how can you pay your father's dept hmm?" he huskily asked. Napatitig ako sa kanya. Mariin akong napapikit akong malalim na napahinga. "I can be your slave sir" mahina itong natawang napalapat ng labi na mapatitig ako ditong salubong ang mga kilay. "Slave? Are you sure? 1million pesos. Do you think you can pay me using your body hmm?" anito na tila nang-uuyam ang tono. Napasuri ito ng tingin mula ulo hanggang paa ko na ikinalunok ko. "Hmm...how about, be my wife. And I'll make sure, I'll let go your father" "W-wife" utal kong ulit. Napataas ang kilay nitong may naglalarong pilyong ngiti sa mga labi. Napalunok ako. Napaawang ang labi pero walang salita ang lumalabas! "Uhmm!" napakapit ako sa kanyang balikat na siniil ako nito bigla ng isang mapang-angking halik sa labi!! "It's settled. Get ready yourself young lady, tomorrow morning, you're gonna be....my wife"
