The place was packed with people from the elite society, those people who wear shiny dresses and expensive suits. The women walked with chins held up high, their beautiful dresses filled with different kinds of rare gems, jewelry that is made of high-quality stones. They took pride in showcasing how well-off they are. As for the gentlemen in the party, they talked about business and boost their achievements and how they built empires after empires.
From filthy rich businessmen to wealthy politicians and famous celebrities, all gathered to witness the engagement of the mighty and one of the hottest bachelors in town, Fabian Luigi Romano to the only heiress of a multi-billion company, Elvira McIntosh.
Lahat ng dumalo ay puro may sinasabi sa buhay, lahat ay suot ang pinakamamahaling damit at alahas para ipakitang sila ay nabibilang sa mataas na antas ng lipunan. The way they act and the way they dressed says so.
They greeted and smiled with each person they came to cross with but in the deepest part of their mind, they’re assessing each and everyone present in the party, comparing their dresses and pieces of jewelry to the others. Tinitingnan kung sino ang may pinakamahal na damit at pinakamalaking dyamante sa suot na mga alahas.
Tahimik na nakatayo sa isang sulok si Fabian, hindi siya nakikita ng kaniyang mga bisita at malaya niyang pinagmamasdan ang mga taong dumalo sa kaniyang engagement party.
Hawak ang isang kopita na may laman na wine habang ang isa naman ay may nakaipit na umuusok na tabako, tinunga niya ito nang hindi nilulubayan ng tingin ang mga bisita. He knew almost all of these people. Colleagues, business associates, and friends from the highest class of society, the society where he belonged, the society that talks nothing but money and power.
“Sir, the party’s about to start in 10 minutes,” his secretary informed him. Nakasunod pala ito sa kaniya.
“Okay,” walang ganang tugon ni Fabian. This engagement is purely for business only. Business with pleasure. He smirked thinking what Vira and he did a few hours ago in his condo. That woman is so wild and experienced in bed. Not bad to be his future wife, at least he gets to enjoy her body while sucking off the resources of their business. Well, he can suck Vira’s firm and rounded mounds, too.
Tinunga niya ang natirang wine sa kopita at walang-lingong binigay iyon sa sekretarya niya na nakatayo lang sa gilid niya. He’s like an obedient dog waiting for his master’s command.
“Dumating na po si Ms. McIntosh kasama ang daddy niya, Mr. Romano, and she was looking for you,” Markus informed him.
He nodded and puffed on the cigar twice.
“Let’s go,” he headed to where the crowd was enjoying, and he was greeted by each person he passed. Binabati siya sa kaniyang engagement, ang iba naman ay pinupuri ang kaniyang itsura.
Namataan niya ang ina na nakangiting nakikipag-usap sa mga bisita. Bakas sa mukha nito ang saya at galak na sa wakas ay naikakasal na din ang nag-iisa nitong anak. Of all the people at this party, it’s only his mother that has the most genuine smile that was plastered on her beautiful face. For Fabian, his mother was the only person whom he can trust with everything he had. Ito lang ang nag-iisang tao na naniwala sa kaniya noong mga panahong wala pa siyang napapatunayan.
His mother was all smiles as he approached her. She looked so regal and elegant with her peach floor-length dress adorned with beads and crystals. Her pixie-cut hair was not colored revealing streaks of gray hair which made her look elegant and regal. A magnificent 4.82 carat of a blue sapphire surrounded by accompanying diamonds is the only jewelry that adorned her neck.
He smirked at what he saw, he bet his mother was bombarded with questions about the elegant jewelry that made her look like a queen. He gave it to her on her 70th birthday as his birthday present.
“Hijo, Vira’s been looking for you, where have you been? The party’s about to start,” Susana Castro cast a stern look at his son. Hindi nito nagustohan ang ginawang pagbalewala ng anak na si Fabian sa fiancée nito. Fabian just shrugged his shoulders.
“I know, ma,” dumukwang si Fabian para bigyan ang halik ang inang si Susana. “You should be with her now. Tatawagin na kayo sa stage anytime now,” There's a hint of disapproval in his mother’s voice, nevertheless, her expression is soft and considerate. This is what he loves about his mother, she has this warm heart that one would always notice. Napakabait nito
He looked around and spotted the woman he was looking for, sporting a red bodycon dress with plunging neckline to reveal a generous amount of a very gorgeous pair of cleavage, Elvira McIntosh is one hot woman any man would die for to have her in his bed. She looked slutty but classy, his kind of woman. Sinipat niya ang itsura nito, napakaganda nito sa suot.
Nilapitan niya ito at gulat ang unang rumehistro sa maganda nitong mukha nang makita siya pero napalitan rin ng isang mapang-akit na tingin. A seductress, indeed.
“Fabian!” masaya nitong bati nang makita siya. She should be, he let her come so many times just this morning. Hindi niya tinigilan hanggang sa mangisay ito sa sarap.
“Fabian, glad you’re here now,” si Arnold McIntosh, the founder and CEO of McIntosh Realty, he’s soon-to-be father-in-law.
“Good evening, sir. I’m sorry, I got an urgent call from one of my engineers,” he lied. Inilahad niya ang kamay sa matandang negosyante para makipagkamay, at tinanggap naman nito.
The man was smiling from ear to ear, probably very happy that his daughter is going to marry the most eligible bachelor in the business world, not to mention that Fabian Romano is a very good-looking man with a thick pocket.
Arnold McIntosh owns one of the biggest real-estate companies that is based mainly in the west. Widowed at the age of fifty, he spends most of his time with younger women, rumors have it that he’s filthy when it comes to bed, a dirty old man with dirty and kinky habits.
“Call me dad already, you and my dearest Vira are engaged, we can skip formality now. Besides, you’ll be my son-in-law a few months from now,” humalakhak ito.
Tipid na ngumiti si Fabian bago bumaling kay Elvira na nasa tabi niya lang. He took her hand and lifted it to his lips to kiss the back of her palm while keeping eye contact.
“You look absolutely breathtaking, Elvira,” he said with sensual desire laced in his voice.
Vira’s face turned red. He smirked with her reaction; she looks like an inexperienced virgin, but he knew better than that. This woman is a beast in bed, a true sex goddess whose main purpose here on earth is to give pleasure to men who have a voracious appetite on that department, men like him.
“Thank you, Luigi. You look good yourself, too.” She shyly smiled at him. What a deceitful little imp. One look at her, and people would see an angel.
Elvira bit her lower lip when she felt the familiar tingling sensation whenever Fabian touched her, she loved that feeling. Naalala niya ang nangyari kaninang umaga at nagdulot iyon ng libo-libong sensayon sa kaniyang katawan. She was thoroughly f*cked this morning and she wants more. She must admit, Fabian was the best f*cked she ever had, he was so good in bed that she can’t get enough of him.
He pulled her closer to him and whispered seductively to her ear, his lips touching its tip that made her shiver in pure desire.
“We both know I look better when lying naked on the bed with legs spread wide, love.”
Elvira bit her lip. How lucky can she get now that she’s engaged to be married to one of the hottest billionaires in town? He’s a total package with his good looks, his undeniably strong physique, and the pleasure that he can give in bed, not to mention how loaded he is, she’s sure to be the most envied woman in the country today.
“Good evening lovely ladies and gentlemen…”
Everyone’s attention was directed to the emcee talking at the center stage, it was a make-shift stage adorned with glittery gold designs, an elegant representation that this engagement is a union of the two most powerful and successful companies not just in the country but also abroad.
Elvira hooked an arm around his and pushed her body to get closer to him, her soft breasts pressed against the hard muscles of his arm, the breast that he ravished just last night and this morning. Elvira McIntosh is an easy girl, but at least she’s classy and smart. She must consider herself one lucky slut to be able to get the attention of Fabian Romano.
“...and now, let us call the very gorgeous couple. Mr. Fabian Romano and Ms. Elvira McIntosh!”
The crowd erupted in applause to the couple who was smiling on their way to the stage.
“C’mon, we’re being called on stage.” Fabian held Vira’s elbow and guided her up to the stage. She was smiling with pure joy and pride as she settled herself beside Fabian, both holding a glass of Champagne.
That night, Fabian Luigi Romano was bound to marry Elvira McIntosh. A union made without love but with lust.
For him, she’s the ideal woman he would choose to marry. Wealthy, insanely beautiful, and really knows how to use her mouth. It’s a win-win situation for him, he got nothing to lose. He’ll be able to get the company and a good p*ssy to f*ck, too.
“Fabian, my man. Congratulations on your engagement!” Alfredo Zamora greeted Fabian as soon as they took off the stage. The two bumped their fist. Alfie and Fabian are college friends, though they took different courses, they shared the same interest; women. Both of them was a member of a sex club called King’s Club. It is a club where the members are all from elite families. There are no restrictions in that club, all your deepest desires, and kinkiest fantasies can be a dream come true in that club. Once you’re a member of that club, you can have sex with anyone with their consent. Threesome, orgy, man to man, everything you ever desire is in that club. You can be what you wanted in that club. “Thanks, man. I thought you’re not gonna make it tonight,” “Of course, I wouldn’t miss this for the world and thanks to this very lovely lady for accompanying me here,” Alfie pointed to Gigi who stood beside him. “This is Sugar, my date for tonight. Sugar, this is my friend, Fabian Rom
The woman dancing in front of him wore nothing but a pair of sexy lingerie, her perky peaks are visible through the sheer fabric that barely covered her majestic body. Mahina ang musika na maririnig sa kuwarto kung nasaan silang dalawa lamang ng babae ang naroon.May kadiliman ang paligid at tanging ang isang wall lamp lang ang nagbibigay ng liwanag k’warto. The woman continued dancing sensually, running her hands all over her body, her eyes were closed and her lips were parted.Fabian cupped his bulge and rubbed it as if to appease the monster that was about to break loose from its confinement. Tigas na tigas na ang kaniyang pagkalalaki. Seeing the woman dance in front of him took his body to a different level of pleasure. Wala pa silang ginagawa pero parang lalabasan na siya sa ginawa nitong pagsayaw.The woman looked at him with mesmerizing eyes as she slowly made her way in his direction. Dahan-dahan itong lumapit sa kaniya sa isang nakakaakit na paraan. Her hips were swaying from
Fabian was ticking his fingers in the steering wheel as he drove his way to the address Markus had given him. He had contemplated whether to go or not, but the call of his body was way too loud to be ignored, and he hated himself more for being weak. Hindi niya ito gusto. His mind kept on telling him that it was the stupidest thing to do, but his groin rejoiced when he chose to ignore his mind and followed what his body has been calling. Idiot! It was almost midnight and he was already lying on his bed to sleep, but it made a good job in avoiding him. Wala siyang ibang nagawa kun’di tumayo at uminum ng alak para makatulog pero walang epekto ang alak kaya nagdesisyon siyang pumunta na lang sa club na iyon. He hated himself for being so weak when it comes to the call of his body. Kahit anong gawin niyang pag-iwas ay hindi talaga nawawala ang babae sa isip niya. Siguro kung makukuha niya ang gusto dito ay makakalimutan na niya ito. He just needs to f*ck her, then be done with it. Yes
After the show, Gigi immediately exited the stage. Wala siyang sinayang na oras ay mabilis na nilisan ang entablado dahil nagkakagulo ang mga parokyano, nag-uunahan sa kung sino ang makakuha ng booking parang ngayong gabi. The show that Sugar gave them was a total blast. Parang mga baliw na aso ang mga ito. Everyone who witnessed her show wanted to have a taste of her. Malaki naman ang ngiti ng may-ari ng club na si mommy July, masaya sa kinalabasan ng performance ng isa sa mga alaga niya na naging kaibigan na rin. Proud na proud ito sa babae, para kay mommy July, si Sugar ay isa sa mga kayamanan niya dito sa club, she had gain wealth because of the women. Mas dumami ang dumayo na mga mayayamang kliyente sa club niya simula noong pumasok ito bilang isang dancer tatlong taon na ang nakalipas. “Booked kana hanggang sa susunod na linggo, darling.” Masayang balita nito kay Gigi o mas kilalang Sugar sa entablado. Inilapag ni July ang isang sobre na halos lumuwa na ang laman. It was an
Fabian ran a hand on his face countless times already. He can’t stay calm. His nerves were throbbing in anticipation and his heart can’t seem to beat the way it does before. Masyadong mabilis ang takbo ng puso niya na sumasakit na ang dibdib niya. Tumayo si Fabian mula sa pagkakaupo sa sofa at hindi mapakali na naglakad sa sala ng condominium unit niya, the unit that only he knows. He already gave that gay named July the instructions. Dapat ay nandito na si Sugar ngayon, she’s already ten minutes late and it’s killing him. His fingers were fidgeting and he can’t seem to calm down, thousands of scenarios ran through his mind. What if she declined his offer? Baka masyadong maliit ang offer niya? Shit! Hinilamos niya ang palad sa mukha. Ito ang unang pagkakataon na naging interesado siya sa isang babae, at aaminin niyang naninibago siya. Especially that the woman was the kind that he hated the most. But with her, he can’t get himself to hate her despite her reputation and profession.
Sugar felt herself getting aroused with just the way the man looked at her. Hindi pa man siya hubad ay parang tumatagos na ang tingin nito sa kaibuturan ng pagkatao niya. At aaminin man niya o hindi ay nagustuhan niya iyon. Nganong lamang ito nangyari sa buong buhay niya. Kahit kailan ay hindi siya nagkagusto sa mga kliyente niya. Oo, gusto niya ang lalaki. May kakaiba sa paraan ng pagtitig nito sa kaniya. The slow music filled the dimly lit room. The man seated in the plush couch was stroking his hard shaft, and to Sugar’s sight, it was massive. Hard, huge and long. Sinasabayan ng indayog ng katawan niya ang pagtaas-baba nito sa sariling pagkalalaki. Napakagat-labi si Sugar habang iniisip kung gaano ito kasarap kapag nasa loob niya na ang malaki nitong pagkalalaki. Kahit kailan ay hindi pa naramdaman ni Sugar ang ganitong pakiramdam para sa isang lalaki. She never felt this kind of desire towards the man who used her body for pleasure, whenever someone f*ck her, disgust and remo
“Happy birthday, bunso!” sabay-sabay na sigaw nina Gigi at ng mga kapatid niya. Malaki ang ngiti ni Gigi habang nakatingin sa pamilya niyang masayang nagbibiruan. Ngayong araw ang ika-tatlong taong kaarawan ng bunso nilang kapatid na si Sophia. Masayang tinitigan ni Gigi ang kaniyang kapatid na malawak ang naging ngiti nang makita nito isang malaking cake na binili niya. “Blow your cake na baby Sophia!” sigaw ng kaibigan ni Gigi na si Dyosa. Kinarga nito ang bata at inilapit sa lamesa na may pagkaing handa. Hindi masyadong marami ang handa nila para sa karawaan nito pero kuntento si Gigi dahil kompleto sila, at nandito din ang kaibigan niyang si Dyosa at Gracia. Itinaas nito ang kamay at pumalakpak habang nakataas ang mga kamay. Mabilis na inihipan nito ang cake na binili nila para dito ang tumili. Natawa silang lahat sa reaksyon nito. Walang ibang bisita kun’di sila lamang kasama si Dyosa. Inimbitahan din ni Gigi si July pero hindi raw ito makakapunta dahil may ibang lakad ito
Gigi bit her lip and tried to die down the nervousness that she's feeling. Kanina pa siya hindi mapakali habang nagre-ready para sa ikalawang pagkikita nila ng lalaki. Kinakabahan siya sa kanilang ikalawang pagtatagpo. She remembered giving her real name the yesterday, and she wanted to regret it. It was an impulsive act from her. Masyado siyang nadala sa malalim nitong pagtitig sa kaniya kaya hindi niya napigilan ang sarili na sabihin dito ang totoo niyang pangalan. Ngayon ay gustong batukan ni Gigi ang sarili sa katangahang nagawa. Sasayaw lng siya ngayong gabi dahil iyon lang naman ang gusto ng lalaki, pero sa hindi malamang dahilan ay parang iba ang nararamdaman ni Gigi. She’s so excited even though their last meeting didn’t end up well on her side. She had done this before, so many times already but she felt like it’s her first time to dance naked in front of a man. Nagpakawala ng isang malalim na hininga si Gigi at lakas loob na lumapit sa pinto at pinindot ang doorbell na
Pinaypayan ni Gigi ang sarili para pakalmahin ang mabilis na pagtibok ng kan’yang puso. Kanina pa siya hindi mapakali. She kept on pacing back and forth of the living JD’s house here in the metro. Alam niya na hindi maganda na kinakabahan siya lalo na’t ilang minuto mula ngayon ay gagawin na niya ang una niyang misyon. She needs to do good in this mission or else JD will be disappointed with her. Ang gagawin niya lang naman ay aakitin ang isang matandang lalaki, simple lang iyon para kay Gigi. She is still familiar with the art of seduction, but what made her nervous is that this man is evil. She wore a black scoop back, glittery dress for the Annual Party of Siberia Finance Inc. It is one of the leading investment companies in the country and in Europe. Their target for tonight is the CEO of the company, Mr. Alexandrie Ivanov. The party was held in his mansion and they need to get something valuable that would incriminate him. The Russian businessman was involved in sex traffic
“What the f*ck are you doing here?” Fabian got out of the bathroom when he saw Vira lying sexily on his bed. Her body was lying sideways while her head was supported with her left arm. Vira wore a sheer nightgown in purple making the outlines of her body visible through the light. Sinadya ni Vira na hindi na magsuot ng kahit ano sa ilalim ng nightgown para makikita ni Fabian ang katawan niya. She missed him so much. Aagawin niya ito sa Gigi na iyon. She's determined to have his heart, attention and his body.Mapang-akit ng ngumiti ang babae kay Fabian. Her lips were painted in blood red lipstick. “Why am I not allowed inside my husband’s room?” Her voice was low and sexy. Nakalantad ang makinis at mala-krema nitong mga binti. Vira wanted Fabian to see that she’s more beautiful that Gigi. Malaking sampal iyon sa pride niya na simula noong ikasal sila ni Fabian ay ni minsan ay hindi siya nito ginalaw. Each passing day that Fabian just ignored her even though they live in the sa
Ramdam ni Fabian ang panginginig kan’yang kalamnan. His heart can’t calm down and his lungs felt like it’s going to explode anytime soon. Samo’t-saring emosyon ang umaatake sa kan’ya. Thousands of questions assaulted his mind but it all remained unanswered. Hindi siya mapakali hanggang walang lumalabas sa imbestigasyon. He can’t wait anymore, he had to know what happened to Gigi. He wanted to find answers as soon as possible. Bakit nando’n sa lugar na ‘yun ang kwintas na ibinigay niya kay Gigi? What happened to Gigi? Who are those burned bodies found in the burned building? Hindi maganda ang kutob niya. Is someone tried to hurt his Gigi? Was she one of those charred bodies? “Oh, god. Please, no...” mahinang bulong ni Fabian. Napahilamus si Fabian sa mukha niya gamit ang palad. Hindi niya iyon matatanggap. His Gigi was not one of those. She’s just hiding because she’s mad at him. Oo, gano’n nga, they were not in good terms when they separated, maybe she doesn’t want to him
It's funny how people strive for money thinking that it would fill up all the void in one’s life. They kill for money. They fought just to have money, and they have the tendency to disregard the things that are way more important than money. Fabian looked at his reflection in the mirror as he fixed his tie. Nakakunot ang noo niya habang inaayos ang kurbada. He's been doing this for ages but for some reason, he’s having a hard time doing it. Irritation started to bubble inside him as he can’t seem to make it look the usual. “Buwisit!” mahinang mura niya nang hindi niya talaga iyon maayos. He's running late on the event and here he is in his room, trying to fix a dam tie. “Here, let me.” ani Vira na bigla na lamang pumasok sa silid ni Fabian. Yes, they were married but didn’t share the same room. He made that clear to her before he signed their marriage contract. For Fabian, there’s no reason for them to share the same room when they didn’t share the same feelings. She's just a
Naalimpungatan si Gigi nang makarinig ng mahinang katok. She was wasted last night. Marami rin ang nainum nila ni JD. “Sino ba ito? Ang aga-aga nang-iistorbo na.” It's only four in the morning. Napakamot si Gigi sa ulo niya habang bumabangon. Nang buksan niya ang pinto ay bumungad sa kan’ya ang tila inip na inip na si JD. Nakatiklop ang mga braso nito sa dibdib at masama ang tingin sa kan’ya. “Bakit ba? Ang aga-aga pa e. ano bang kailangan mo?” naiinis na tanong ni Gigi. Kulang pa siya sa tulog dahil halos madaling-araw na sila nakauwi ni JD. Ang gago ang lakas palang uminun pero hindi naman nalalasing. Siya lang iyong tinamaan kagabi. “Anong bakit? It's your firdt day of training. Huwag mong sabihin ako pa palagi ang gigising sayo?” “Anong training pinagsasabi mo d’yan?” “What the f*ck, Gi? Are you that drunk last night? Hindi mo maalala ang mga pinag-usapan natin?” “Anong pinag-usapan?” “God, woman!” He groaned frustratedly. Pilit na inuhukay ni Gigi ang mga nangya
Madilim at mausok. Iyon ang bumungad kay Gigi nang makapasok sila sa nag-iisang beerhouse sa bayan na iyon. Beer at Inihaw, ang pangalan ng beerhouse. Ito ang nag-iisang beerhouse ng bayan na ito kaya araw-araw ay punong-puno ito lalo na kapag may mga dumadaong na mga malalaking barkong pangisda. Hindi na bago para kay Gigi ang ganitong klaseng tagpo, lumaki siya sa mundo ng alak at prostitusyon. Ang kaibahan lang ay ang mga parokyano. Soon sa Hype ay pawang mga mayayaman ang customer doon, habang dito ay iyong mga pangingisda at mga ordinaryong residente ng bayan. JD ordered beer for the both of them. Nag-order din ito ng isang plato ng sari-saring inihaw. Halos puno ang mga lamesa at maingay na nagtatawanan ang mga parokyanong nag-iinuman. Pinili ni JD na maupo sila sa isang bahagi na wala masyadong tao, tago iyon at malayo sa mga tao. They sat facing each other. “Palagi ka ba dito?” tanong ni Gigi sa binata. Habang baghihintay sa inumin nila ay humugot ng isang stick ng
Nasundan pa ng maraming beses ang pagsundo nina Anton at JD sa kan’ya. Malaking pasasalamat ni Gigi na may mga tao na nagmamalasakit sa kan’ya. Hindi niya lubos akalaing may mga tao na tutulong sa kan’ya kahit na hindi siya lubos na kilala ng mga ito. Sa tuwing ngingiti si aling Ida ay hindi niya maiwasan na maalala ang namayapang ina. They had the same kind smile, and Gigi misses her so much. Napakasakit pa rin para sa kan’ya ang nangyari sa kanila pero alam ni Gigi ni kailangan niyang maging matatag. She needs to be strong if she wanted to avenge them. Medyo nasanay na rin si Gigi sa pagsundo nina Anton at JD sa kan’ya, at palagi niya nang inaasahan na nasa labas na ang mga ito at nahihintay. Kung noon ay nahihiya siya sa mga ito, ngayon ay iba na ang nararamdaman niya. She’s actually looking forward in seeing them outside the wet market. Pero ng gabing iyon ay wala si Anton. Nang lumabas si Gigi ay si JD lamang ang naabutan niyang naghihintay sa kan’ya. Napatigil si Gigi nan
Napatulala si Gigi nang makita si Anton na nakatayo sa labas ng palengke. Talagang tinotoo ni ni aling Ida na ipapasundo siya nito mamaya. Nasa mukha nito ang pagkasabik. Gigi felt her heart melt at the simple gesture of kindness from the kid. Sa tabi ng bata ay nakatayo si JD, parang inip na inip ito habang humuhithit ng sigarilyo. He was leaning against the wall with his other feet folded flat on the wall. Ang isang kamay nito ay hawak ang sigarilyo habang ang isa naman ay nakasuksok sa bulsa ng pantalon. He was looking at the other direction while puffing smoke, he never noticed her as she approached them. Hindi mapigilang ni Gigi na lumakas an pagtibok ng puso niya. JD has been nothing but good to her. Kahit pa na sabihin na palagi itong nakasimangot, lalong-lalo na kapag naiisturbo sa ginagawa ay alam ni Gigi na mabuti itong tao. He just doesn’t like it when he’s too obvious. “Ate ganda!” Maaliwalas ang mukha ni Anton. Kumaway ito sa kan’ya. “Nadito kami ni kuya JD para sundu
“Alam mo saktong-sakto at kailangan ni Marta ng tauhan sa palengke, pwuedeng puwede ka doon kung hindi ka maselan sa amoy ng isda. Huwag kang mag-alala at nando’n naman ako at si Alma kaya hindi ka mahihirapan.” Nakangiting pahayag ni aling Ida kay Gigi.“Salamat po,” nahihiyang tugon ni Gigi.Mabait na ngumiti si aling Ida at iginiya siya nito patungong sala. Nakasunod din sa kanila ang apo nitong si Anton.“Masaya sa palengke, ate Gi. Hindi ka malulungkot doon!” Si Anton, simula nang malaman nito ang tunay niyang pangalan ay hindi na ito tumigil kakatawag sa pangalan niya.“Ikaw talagang bata ka, kung ano-ano na lang iyang lumalabas sa bibig mo!” sita ng lola nito. Pinanlakihan pa nito ng mga mata ang bata, hindi nagustohan ng matanda ang pagbanggit nito tungkol sa kalungkutan.Napakamot na lamang ng ulo si Anton dahil sa sinabi ng lola niya. Hindi naman kasi nito alam kung bakit parang ingat na ingat ang matanda kay Gigi.“Sige po, maghahanda lang po ako.” Paalam ni Gigi sa mga ito
