Nang Dahil ito sa malakas na ulan sa labas. "I'm glad that you changed your mind." sambit ni Azriel habang pinapanood ang pagpirma ng babae.

Sumikat ang araw. Tumagos sa nakabukas na bintana ang sinag at dumiretso sa nakapikit na si Dahlia. Kaya ay nagising siya mula sa mahimbing niyang pagkakatulog. "Daniel.. 'diba sinabi ko sa'yong isarado mo ang binatana?" reklamo niya sabay dapa upang protektahan ang mukha niya mula sa init. Nakapikit pa rin siya at ninanamnam ang kakaibang lambot ng kaniyang unan at higaan. Ngunit ganun nalang ang pagdilat ni Dahlia sakaniyang mata nung may mapagtanto siyang kakaiba. Sa bahay nila ay sa matigas na sahig siya natutulog kaya nakakapagtaka kung bakit malambot ang hinihigaan niya ngayon. Napabalikwas siya ng upo at kaagad na sinuri ang paligid. "Nasaan ako?" Nasa loob siya ng eleganteng kwarto at kasalukuyang nakaupo sa isang queen size bed. Ang kwartong 'yon ay 'sing laki ng buong bahay nila kaya hindi niya maiwasang mamangha. Ngunit naputol 'yon nung maalala niya ang nangyari kagabi. Tinungo niya ang

"Dahlia! Ang order ng table number 23 nasaan na?!" "More ice to table 15 please!""Pakibilisan naman ng kilos natin Dahlia!""Hindi raw tama ang binigay mong order sa table 10, Dahlia?!" 'Yon ang ilan sa mga katagang pumuno sa tenga ni Dahlia buong araw. Mula umaga hanggang sa gabi ay walang pahinga at patuloy ang kaniyang pagtatrabaho. Nagsisimula sa cafè, papunta sa pagiging saleslady sa isang mall, kasunod ay ang pagiging substitute janitress hanggang sa pagiging waitress sa bar. Lahat na yata ng trabaho ay nagawa na niyang pasukin at walang tigil siyang kumakayod. Kahit pa siguro ilang trabaho ang pasukin niya, kahit magbanat pa siya ng buto buong araw, hindi pa rin 'yon magiging sapat. Lalong lalo na at wala siyang ibang mapagkukunan ng lakas at kaagapay kundi ang sarili. Limang taon ng nagtitiis si Dahlia. Nagsimula 'yon nung maaksidente ang kanyang mga magulang. Nagawang maka recover ng tatay niya n

The least people that I expected to come, appeared out of nowhere. One was in his usual business suit while the other one was wearing his black hoodie. My eyes were widening as they walked toward me. I couldn't believe what I am seeing right now. The one with the hoodie lends me a hand. "Are you okay?" I was hesitant for a moment. Realizing that I can't get up on my own because my knees had long given up, I eventually accepted his hand. The one in the suit removed his coat before wrapping it around me."What do you think you're doing?" It is Sam who steps up."Do you wanna have fun with her too?" says one of the loan sharks. "Don't be such killjoys, man. We can share." "Share?" According to my memory, the one who scoffed was Emmanuel, the man in the suit. "I'm sorry I'm not into group sèx so no thanks." "Let's get outta here." With his hand on my elbows, supporting me, Enric stepped away but we were immediately stopped when the group of quarterbacks stood in the way. "Where do

"What the fuck are you doing, Emmanuel?!" The guy at the door shouted, I was sure. He was the same guy I saw on the counter of the club earlier. He walked towards the man I'm sharing the bed with, that goes by the name Emmanuel. He pulled him by the collar before punching him in the jaw resulting in Emmanuel losing his balance and falling to the floor. I sat up, witnessing how the guy pulled Emmanuel up again. His trembling fist was in the air and he was about to hit the other one again when I shouted. "Stop!"The guy in the hoodie glanced at me and when he did, his stiff and anger-filled face turned soft for a few seconds. "Oh, Enric. My dear brother, good thing you're here," Even with bleeding lips, Emmanuel was still able to form a playful smirk. "We're just about to get to the best part." "Why the fùck are you here?!" Emmanuel snickered. "I was about to ask the same thing too. Why are you here?""This war is between us," Enric said with gritted teeth. You can fucking do you

"Your loan is due tomorrow. We came to remind you."In a dark corner outside the club where I am currently working, here I stood right before two loan sharks. They were wearing black and had tattoos all over their bodies. In their waist is a gun tightly inserted. Their whole existence made me tremble in fear. "Don't worry. I'll pay you before the sun sets tomorrow." I responded."Make sure that you will." The eyes of this man were very threatening . "Because if you fail to do so.." he looks at me up and down. The kind of stare that gives people goosebumps. "..we're going to slice you alive and take your organs away." I am afraid but I can only ball my hand into a fist and act tough. "That won't happen. Come see me tomorrow and I'll slap the money on your faces." Then I walked away. I was confident while spitting those words in front of them but the truth is, I'm worried. I don't know where to get forty thousand dollars overnight to pay for them. The money I loaned all went to my t
