Chapter 2 Enchanted

Zale

“Marcos, bakit mo ako dinala sa lugar na yun?” Tanong ko sa aking driving as he drives me home.

“Sabi mo kasi sir gusto niyong mag-enjoy, marelax kaya dun kita dinala;” I was curious sa response niya. Does he already gone there?

“Paano ka nakakasiguro na mag-eenjoy ako dun? Nakapunta ka ba roon?” Biglang nilukob ako ng matinding pagseselos. Nakita na ba niya ang katawan ng babaing yun?

“Nako, di pa po sir, di ko afford ang lugar na yun. Mga may kaya lang katulad mo ang pumapasok dun kasi sobrang mahal daw sa loob. Inumin pa lang mamumulubi ka na lalo na siguro sa babae? At hinihingian pa ng membership kapag bago. Wala naman po akong pambayad.”

That seems weird, i never had encountered that, they don’t asked me anything, just check me for security purposes.

“Paano mo nasasabi ang mga yan kung di ka pa nakapasok sa loob?” I am really intrigue coz he seems knowledgeable on that place and he is a married man as well. I value fidelity when it comes to marriage. Kaya nag-eenjoy muna ako ngayon that i am single but when i find my woman i will be faithful to her. That's my stand in life.

“Marami na kasi akong hinahatid dun, yun mga client mo na mga bigatin. Halos silang lahat gusto tumambay dun kapag nagpapahatid sa akin. Minsan tinatanong ko sila kung bakit nila gusto dun. Ang sinasabi nila na maraming magagandang performer pero may isa daw dun na bukod tangi sa lahat."

"Yun ang binabalikan ng lahat kaya lang di daw yun pumapayag i-table ng customer, hanggang kanta lang daw pero sulit naman kasi nakakabighani ang boses at sobrang ganda, parang angel. Sabi pa nga nila di nakakasawa tingnan.” Dagdag pang sabi ni Marcos.

So totoo pala na di talaga siya nagte-table ng customer. Medyo kumalma ang naramdaman ko dahil di lang pala ako ang tinatanggihan niya. It means it is her rule.

“Sir, nakita mo na ba yung babae na sinasabi nila? Kasi curious ako sa babaing yun, buruin mo si Mr Chang nag-offer ng ilang million para lang maka-usap siya pero tinanggihan parin.

"How could she decline a million just like that? Well i also offer her name your price thing, wala akong pinagkaiba ni Mr. Chang."

I know Mr Chang he is a millionaire too at hayok yun sa babae. Galante din basta gusto niya ang babae but he is married. He must really like the girl. Just the thought that someone may like her, cringe me within.

“Yeah Marcos, i see her already and she is really beautiful.” Honest kong sagot ko sa kanya.

“Di mo type sir? Kasi madali ka lang sa loob eh. Ang iba dun hanggang magdamagan.”

“I like her Marcos but like the other gentlemen, I tried to ask her to talk to me pero tinanggihan niya ako kaya minabuti ko na lang umalis.” Marcos is my loyal driver and bodyguard at matagal ko na siyang nakasama para ko na siyang kuya. No reason for me to lie. He knows me very well.

“Nainsulto ka siguro sir kasi biruin mo isang katulad mo na tinitingala sa lipunan ay tinanggihan lang niyan? Pero wag mo na lang dibdibin yun sir kasi di ka naman nag-iisa. Ganun siya sa lahat eh, di mo naman pwedeng pilitin, standard siguro niya yun."

“Baka ayaw lang talaga niyang maging pokpok sir, ganun lang ang trabaho pero ayaw mabahidan ng kasalanan kasi halos ang pumupunta diyan mga may asawa na.” He might be right; i don’t know her real story why she ended that place.

I got home pero di parin ako makatulog. Her face lingers in my mind. The way she moves her body, her dance nagbibigay init sa akin. I know i had lusted her the moment our eyes met.

"Why i felt this weird feelings towards her? I just saw her in few minutes; we don’t even have interaction, only our eyes meet but in that seconds i know there’s something in us that i can't just sway away." She occupied my entire mind, i even forgot my problem today na siyang dahilan why i was there.

I walk into my bar and drink another whisky, to feel relax. To take my mind off her.

That place is kind of glamorous. It’s a high end strip club. Here i am again thinking of her.

I wonder why she is singing. I never encounter a strip club having an acoustic singing session. Her voice is really enchanting me so as her face. Di ko masisi ang ibang lalaki na mahumaling sa kanya. But there’s something in her that i can’t point out. Her eyes are cold, no emotion but her movement speaks a lot of things. I am enchanted by her beauty and charisma.

I can’t do this, everything about her face gets on my mind and i feel hot. I need a release so i called one of the girls who are willing to share a night with me. I called Sofia first.

Just one ring she answers.

“Hello darling, do you need me?” Malandi niyang tanong. She is one of the top model here in the Philippines na palaging nangungulit sa akin. I don’t usually go twice for a lady but i need it now.

“Come here at my place i need you right now.” Sabi ko na parang pautos na. I don’t care how she would feel, not of her kind that deserves my respect either. For all i know she wants to be with me for my name. She wants to cling to me for her benefit, para pag- usapan ng madla about her career. But if i am a lady, I won’t tolerate men treating them like trash.

“All right, I’ll be there in few minutes, bye lover boy.” See she doesn’t even decline me even though I treated her like nothing. So who will respect her when she doesn’t even respect her self?

She is one of the ladies that willing to fill my night na di ko pinangakuan. I made sure sa kanila it's just for fun, casual hooks up, no string attached.

Few minutes she came wearing a tiny thin dress, only portion that is covered. Her dress looks like what that lady is wearing in the club but why is it that what she is wearing is alluring to look at? This woman in front of me now, wearing the same style but no appeal to me. I was not even excited like i feel in that woman when i am in the club.

“Make me forget my problems tonight.” Utos ko sa kanya. I am not a gentle type nor did i practice one. In my line of work, i need to be tough, coz a lot of my competitors will eat me alive, mock me at my back, so i don’t show emotion when i am with other people.

As she is doing her things, that woman’s face register again in my mind. f**k why she won’t leave my mind? It’s her that i am imagining when Sofia does her thing to me. I bang Sofia with that woman in my mind.

"More darling please, faster and deeper. That’s it, I love it that way;" sigaw niya na parang nawawala na sa sarili pero ako di parin nilalabasan. I even lose interest when that woman's face leave my mind.

I imagine her again that she is screaming as i do it to her. f**k that is good. At last nakapag release na din ako.

"Darling i love it so much, one more round? Malanding saad ni Sofia. Nawalan na ako ng gana.

"No i had enough for tonight. I am not in the mood. You may go now." Dispatsa ko sa kanya.

"Can i just stay here tonight, darling?" Try pa niyang negotiate sa akin.

"Nope i don’t allow anyone to stay a night with me. You know the rules Sofia." Paalala ko sa kanya. To be honest i can't sleep with someone in my bed, i use to being alone.

"Okay okay. Aalis na ako. Just call me if you need me soon." I doubt it if tatawagan ko pa siya. She becomes clingy these days, feeling niya seseryosohin ko siya.

I remember her again.

"Why you have that strong effect on me? Is it because i was curious about you or my ego was bruise dahil tinanggihan mo ako?"

Well nothing that i can’t do. Wala pa akong di nakukuha kapag ginusto ko. Kung ang iba sumuko na lang ako hindi. I will find a way for her to give in to me.

"Hanggat di kita nakuha i may feel like this. I have to give in to my cravings and it's you that i am craving in the moment." I will ask for some details about her. I admit i am quite intrigued dahil sa sinabi ni Marcos. He seems mysterious to me.

One day i will unveil your secret lady and soon you will become my woman. That's a pledge.
