CHAPTER SIX - A FAVOR

Hiyang hiya si Sarah sa kanyang sarili matapos makita ang lalaking mabilis na lumabas ng silid.

      'Ano ka ba naman, pag kakataon mo na yon pinalampas mo pa.' nahihinayang na sermon nya sa sarili. 'Na turn off pa yata sa akin? Haisst!' napa iling sya sa sarili. Kung ano ba naman kasing pumasok sa isip nya at yung naroon na sya ay bigla pang gumana ang kanyang pagiging santa.

      'Para sex lang nag pakipot ka pa. E ano naman kung nakuha ka nya? E di ba ikaw naman ang kusang sumama sa kanya?' mabilis nyang dinampot ang mga damit na ito pa ang pumulot sa sahig at mabilis na muling isinuot. Naka ramdam sya ng malaking hiya dahil matapos nyang nag pahalik at kitang kita pa naman nito kung paano na nag enjoy rin sya kanina. Tapos sa ganito lang pala mau uwi. Solve sana ang problema nya kahit lang naman sana para sa pambili ng gamot ng mga magulang nya.

      Napa buntong- hininga na napa iling sya. She look at her self, matapos makita na okey na ang kanyang ayos, mabilis nyang tinungo ang pinto ng silid upang lumabas. 

RAIVER'S POV 

He quickly got out of the room after he gave the dress to her. He doesn't know what he feels that moment after she refuse in bed and asking to him to be gentle. Hindi tuloy nya sigurado kung may experience na ba ang babae pagdating sa sex.  Yes, he had so many girls in bed but they are not a virgin anymore. He's a little curious to this woman who catch his attention since the first time he set his eyes on her. He's aware that at her age mostly woman had pre- marital sex. As long as he imagine those responses he got from her, he couldn't help but to arrouse. She had those assets to catch man with her sweet innocence looks. 

       He went to the counter and got the bottle of wine and back to the couch and seat. He pour his glass with wine and sip. He's thinking about the woman who was inside his room when he heard the door opened. He turned his head to look at her and he saw her shyly while stroking her finger just like she feel nervous. Her face was blushing and maybe she's not aware about the lipsticks stain in her face because of their hot scene earlier. He can help but to form a smirk on his lips. He was amused to this woman. She couldn't look into his eyes and keep looking around inside his place. She keep silent as he could.  She's wearing the dress now, but still he could imagined her body without that dress that he already viewed earlier. And it's here again, he feel his boy was starting to be hard again as he imagined her naked body. And before he lost his control again, he clear his throat and break the silence between them.

SARAH'S POV 

      She saw him sitting in a couch, with a cup of wine in hands. He's looking down on the glass he was handed and suddenly he look at her when she was out of that room. She feel annoyed and she couldn't look into his eyes after what happened to them earlier. 

      "Take your seat. " he said in a very serious tone, while still looking at her. 

     She quickly sat after she feels her knees was shaking and took a deep breath. She placed her both palm in her lap. She look's nervous as she rolling her eye's around the room. They remain silent and no one dare to talk for a while, she heard him sigh and cleared his throat before he break the silence in between them..

       "So, you're not yet ready to- " he stop his own thoughts and look at her,matapos umiling. "Why you go out with me if you're not yet ready?" walang ka emo- emosyong sabi nya na tila tinatantya ang kausap na nanatiling walang kibo. Mabilis itong yumuko at pinag salikop ang mga palad habang tila nilalaro, at hindi pa rin maka tingin ng diretso sa kanya. Sumandal sya at itinaas sa sandalan ng sopa ang kaliwang braso habang hawak sa kabilang kamay ang baso na may lamang àlak.

      "Would you mind if I asked you're name?" he said.

      Bahagyang nag angat ito ng ulo and speak in a very low voice. 

      "Sarah Sanchez"

      "How long you are working in that club?"

       "It's been a week since I start there. It's just an urgent need's so I'll accept the offer to work there" she said in a low tone but still he clearly heard her.

       "Why you didn't try to look for another job instead of this one?" hindi nya mapigilang mabuhay ang kanyang kyuryusidad sa babaeng ito na nasa kanyang harapan. Gusto nyang alamin pa ang ano pa mang natatagong dahilan nito para tanggapin ang trabahong iyon.

      "No one would like to accept me, because I don't have any experience " at mapaklang gumuhit ang isang tipid na ngiti sa mga labi nito.

      Umayos ng upo si Raiver at pinag daop ang mga palad sa harapan habang payukong humarap sa kanya na naka tukod sa magkabilang hita ang mga siko.

       "So, would you like to tell to me the real reason why?" tila nananantya nyang tanong rito. Hindi naman sya tsismosong tao at lalong hindi nya ugaling mang himasok sa buhay ng iba pero pakiramdam nya, gusto pa nyang higit na makilala at malaman ang mga bagay na may kinalaman rito. 

      She straightly look in his eyes, and she bit her lower lips first before she speak. He noticed what she did, at nadako ang mga mata nya sa mga labi nitong mapupula naroon na naman ang pag nanais na mahalikan ito, pero pinigil nya ang sarili. Hindi ito ang tamang panahon para samantalahin nya ang babae. Gusto nyang maging maayos ang pagkaka- kilala nito sa kanya, ewan ba pero parang pakiramdam nya parang gusto ng mag pa impress sa babae.

       'Ano bang espesyal sa kanya?' naibulong tuloy nya sa hangin habang mataman itong tinitingnan.

       "Both of my parents is in the hospital, because of an accident. My mother was still in recovery and I need money for their medicine.  And also my father was in comma and it almost a week now." hindi na nya napigilan pa ang pag patak ng kanyang mga luha na kanina pa nya pinipigilang hwag bumagsak. Hindi nya gustong makita nito ang kanyang kahinaan ngunit gusto nyang ilabas ang hirap ng nasa kanyang dibdib. 

      Sandali namang natigilan si Raiver sa gagawin pa sanang pag tatanong ng makita nyang pumatak ang mga luha nito. He let her out all her pain inside. He grab the tissue on the corner of the table and handed it to her.

       "Here!" 

       Mabilis na kinuha nito ang kanyang inaabot at saka pinang punas sa kanyang luha, sipon at pawis na nag halo na. Malamig naman sa silid kaya dala na yata ng kaba. Saka sya suminga ng pagkalakas na para bang wala syang kaharap. 

       "Are you feel better now?" concerned nyang tanong. She slightly nod to him and a smile formed in her lips. 

      "Slightly" she said at umayos ito ng upo at bahagyang humarap sa kanya.

       Napa isip tuloy si Raiver kung tama ba ang naisip nya. Maari nyang kunin ang babae para mag kaanak sya, since mukha naman itong healthy. At siguradong she can carry well his baby.

       'Why not? She's not bad at all.'  he said to himself. And he made a plan.

       "If I would give the money that you need, will you do me a favor?" he said seriously. 

       Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Sarah sa narinig. O tama nga ba ang narinig nya? Bibigyan sya nito ng kailangan nyang pera, pero ano naman ang kapalit? Bigla syang natigilan sa pag iisip ng kung ano ang pabor na gusto nito. Siguro, kahit ano iyon, tatanggapin na nya basta matapos lang ang problema nya sa pag papa- opera sa ama. Alam naman nyang mayaman ang lalaki base sa hitsura ng lugar nito na nakikita nya sa ngayon. 

      'Malamang naman na maliit lang sa kanya ang halagang kailangan ko, at hindi naman sya siguro mahirap kausap.' bulong nya sa sarili. 

       Kung katawan ko lang ang hihingin nyang kapalit, bakit hindi? Iisipin ko nalang na bonus na nya iyon kung sakali sa gwapo ba naman nito. Muling nabuhay ang kiliti sa kanyang katawan na kanina lang ay nag dulot sa kanya ng sobrang pag iinit na halos maka limot na sya. At kung mauulit man ang mga tagpong iyon, tiyak na hinding hindi  na nya palalampasin pa basta hilingin lang nito muli. At sigurado ring solve ang problema nya sa pera para sa mga magulang nya.

      He took so long before he speak again. He's just looking to the woman sitting in his front and thinking if it is would be fine to her if he tell what he wants from her. He doesn't want to use as an alibi her situation but, he's desperate too, to fulfill his father's wish. Anyway, it is not only for his own good, but to her's also, as she needs money for her parents. He's not sure but he want's  to try his luck.

       Sarah still waiting to him to tell about his favor that he want her to do. She's a little bit curious about it, and she can't help but to feel excited. And what she heard next was like a bomb that explode in her system.

       "Give me a son."
