I Want You

Chapter 6 Knowing you

Adric

I saw how she trembled upon hearing my statement, nakita ko ang takot nya sa mukha. Di ba nya ako gusto? It’s like insulting in my part, never had anyone show me that way. Biglang nag-iba ang mode ko.

Sir, pumayag na si Rabi na maging escort mo, pero may paki-usap lang daw sya sayo. Na di mo sya pilitin kong di nya gusto ang ipagawa mo sa kanya, she’s innocent girl. Wala pang experience.

I will not touch her. I just want her to be with me, coz I saw how those guys eyed on her. Tell her she is safe with me.

What does she think of me, a rapist? I can’t believe I wasted my time on this type of thing, let alone insulted me as a man.

Someone knock on my door so I shouted to come in.

Sir, pinatawag mo daw ako? It’s her who knocks on my door. I'm still piss because i feel pinahiya nya ako sa harapan ng ibang businessman. No one had done that to me before.

Yes, come in; I spoke the word with stern look and formal voice.

I feel insulted when you want to decline my offer of being with me. It feels like parang pinipilit kita. I don’t need to beg for a woman; I spoke the words with arrogance, putting her in place.

I’m sorry Mr. Emperial, di po yun intention ko. Dumating ako dito para sa trabaho na ini-offer sa akin na maging taga silbi, wala po akong alam na iba pa bukod dun. Wala ko akong karanasan sa pagiging escort

Okay, I understand. I get you here not because i want to bang you, well not unless you want it to too. I get you because i saw the lust of those men around you. I know you are not safe with them, most of them are married and yet they came here having girls in the side, by being with me no one will touch you. Get it?

Salamat po kung ganun, pasensya na sa inasal ko. Masaya po akong makasama kita.

Di ka rin maging safe sa akin, mark my word, you stain my reputation of being a ruthless; usal ko sa aking isipan.

In the whole duration I am here, you will stay with me, in this room but will not do anything nasty unless you permit me to. I’m not that jerk. You can get all your things and bring it here.

Beginning today, you will not serve anyone but only me, and wherever I go, you go with me in my side.

Sige babalik ako, kukunin ko lang ang gamit ko. Tumango lang ako sa kanya.

When she goes out, pinakawalan ko ang hininga ko. I’m used to meet different woman in my life, most of them are elite, socialite, beauty queens, models or even actresses, most of them wanted to associate with me, offering their body freely.

They know my name, my reputation but I don’t usually show myself to the public, only few people see me. I choose who I’m going to be with and very careful in every move I made.

But this lady is different, she looks so fragile, innocent and young. She doesn’t know anything about me, or baka naman her presence is made up, intentionally just to lure me, will see. Walang sino man ang pweding manluko sa isang Adric Emperial. I got my eyes on you Arthur, isang pagkakamali mo lang.

I was doing my work in my laptop when she comes back.

You can put your things in the side closet, the area is big. Tumango lang sya. When I saw she’s done unpacking her things. I decide to know her a bit.

Tell me about yourself? I asked her while I’m doing my work.

I should know you as we will be together in this place this whole duration; dagdag ko pang sabi.

Ako po si Rabi,18 years old, taga probinsya ng Zambales, nagtatrabaho bilang maricurista, at taga assist ng hairdresser sa isang parlor.

What the f**k, she's that young, no wonder she has no experience in this type of business. She shouldn’t be here, pwede siyang mapahamak at akalain na isa siyang babaing bayaran. Di ko rin siya pwedeng paki-alaman she's too young for my age.

Can I really control my desire given she's too young? Hmmm I'm not even sure.

Bakit ka nasama sa ganitong event? Alam mo ba na pwede kang mapahamak dito? If those men will try to force you, wala kang magagawa, ipinain mo na ang sarili; Trying to give her hint na delikado sya dito.

Di ko naman alam na ganun dito, ang alam ko lang magtatrabaho akong bilang taga-silbi. Sabi ng kasama ko mas malaki ang kita dito kahit ilang araw lang ang event, gusto ko lang makapag-ipon.

Where are your parents, bakit ka nila pinayagan na masama dito?

Ulila po ako sa ina at di ko kilala ang ama, sagot ko ang sarili. Ang trabaho ko sa parlor ang bumuhay sa akin. Oh my goodness, biglang sumakit ulo ko sa narinig, she's striving alone.

Nag-aaral ka pa ba? I'm trying to get information by way of interrogating her, to know kung nagsisinungaling ba sya.

Oo po, graduating po ako ngayon ng high school.

Why high school when you are already 18?

Bago lang po ako nakapag-aral uli, three years ago pa, buti nga nakapag high school na ako sa kaunting panahon, nakapasa ako sa mga exam kaya na-accelerate ako from grade 5 to high school.

I don’t get you; nagtataka sa structure ng pag-aaral niya.

Grade 4 lang natapos ko, huling aral ko noong namatay nanay ko at pinagpatuloy ko noong nakapagtrabaho ako sa parlor.

How come you step up that high from grade 5 nakarating ka ng highchool at graduating na? How did it happened?

May programa kasi ang government na kung mag-aaral ka sa ALS , makapasa sa mga exam, pwedeng ma- accelerate depende sa naabot mo, palagi akong nagti-take ng exam, naipasa ko naman .

How do you manage to go study at working same time?

Sa ALS kasi ilang oras lang klase ko, di naman regular na klase, kaya di naman balakid sa aking trabaho, nag-self study din ako.

Malaki po tulong sa akin ang pagtatrabaho sa parlor, nag-aaral ako sa gabi at work sa umaga, ito ang bumubuhay sa akin.

Kaya ako pumayag dito kasi ayaw ko na magalit sa akin ang may-ari ng pinagtatrabahuan ko at masira ang pangalan nya. Di ko naman kasi alam ang intention mo, akala ko gawin mo sa akin iyong ginawa ng ibang babae sa ibaba, kaya natatakot ako. Paliwanag nya sa akin. I get it anyway. If she's telling na truth, napahanga nya ako.

No worries, it’s all done now. She may look young and innocent by her face but her posture she's a temptress.

Tell me more about your work? She got my attention, how come she was able to sustain that way of living. There's part of me still doubting her but will give her a benefit of doubt.

And please, call me Adric, no more po or sir. Just be your self, I will not harm you; saad ko sa kanya para ma at ease sya sa akin pero once settled na, I will lure her to be my bed warmer. Haven't had a woman before as young as her, our age gap is huge, she's half my age.

Iyon nga, nagtatrabaho ako bilang marikurista sa parlor. Minsan taga assist sa mga kasama ko na hairdresser or make-up artist, may tip ako sa kanila pagkatapos. Minsan ginawa nila akong modelo sa mga creation nila ma damit man or make up, minsan tinitrain nila ako para sumali sa pageant, magkakapera din ako kapag nanalo.

Mga mababait ang mga ate at kuya ko sa parlor.

Ah that's why she knows how to bring herself together, how to act and move like a mature woman because she undergoes training but her face can't deny that still looks really young.

What’s your plan in the future?

Gusto ko lang makatapos ng senior high. Di ko alam kung kayanin ko ang college. Baka kukuha ako uli ng training course para dagdag kaalaman. She seems pretty consistent of her statement.

What training you have done?

Alam ko paano magmassage, beauty care services at housekeeping; biglang umilaw sa utak ko. My carnal thought is going crazy, hmmm, I like to have a massage, seems a good idea.

Can you do some massage on me?

Oo ba, ngayon nah? Hmmm, matapang ah, well see how good you are.

Yeah I feel stiff in my neck and shoulder, been so stress lately. A nice massage will help. I tried to be convincing.

Sige, ihanda ko lang mga gamit ko, sabihan kita pag ready na: bigla akong napa-smile.

I think i will enjoy myself here, have fun while it last. She will become my woman here, she's a good lay for sure. This two week getaway will be memorable and exciting for me and lots to look forward to the days coming.
