I rushed downstairs after giving it some thought. Hinanap ko ang bathroom ni Uncle Chrollo at nagpasya na puntahan siya doon.
"Uncle?" I said. "Let me in. I'm going to tell you something."
I'm sure he would not refuse. I'm very sure of it!
"I'm taking a bath right now. Mamaya na lang pagkatapos ko," he said.
"No!" sigaw ko. "This can't wait! You have to hear it now!"
Pinihit ko ang doorknob at bumukas ito. Did he forget to lock the door? But never mind, mas umaayon sa akin ang pagkakataon dahil bukas ang pinto.
Tumingin siya sa direksyon ko pagkapasok ko sa pinto, "What the hell, Medellin?"
Nagmamadali niyang tinakpan ang mga dapat niyang takpan, at isinara ang kurtina ng shower cubicle. "Get the fuck out of here."
"No, you need to listen to me, Uncle," I said. "Give me money. I'll work for it."
"Okay, good for you, get out of here now!" he said, kinda panicky.
Hindi ako nagpatinag. Lumapit ako sa kanya hanggang sa wala nang espasyo sa pagitan naming dalawa. Tanging kurtina na lang ang humaharang sa amin.
Hinawi ko ang kurtina. He looked at me as I slowly knelt down in front of him. "Hey? What are you doing?"
I gulped when I saw his veiny, proud length. It's unbelievably huge, parang hihimatayin ako. Am I ready for this? Bakit ba kasi sobrang tanga ko at ito pa ang naisip ko?
Gumapang ang kamay ko pataas at napapitlag siya nang hinawakan ko iyon. Nakatingin lang siya sa akin, and he's breathing heavily. "What are you doing? Why?"
"Working for it," I said as I tried to suck his length. It tasted weird. I can still smell and taste his aromatic shower gel.
He kept on resisting. I can feel it. He kept on pushing my shoulder para alisin ko ang bibig ko doon pero hindi ako nagpapatinag. I kept on sucking on his dick.
"Hey, stop it," he said. "Medellin."
He managed to stop me. Itinayo nya ako at hindi na inimikan. Kinuha niya ang tuwalya niya at itinapis iyon sa bewang niya. Nagmamadali rin siyang lumabas ng banyo nang walang kahit anong sinasabi sa akin.
Napahilamos ako sa mukha ko. What the hell am I doing?
Kaagad rin akong lumabas. Dumiretso ako sa kusina at uminom ng tubig. Ano bang naisipan ko? Why the hell am I doing a very dirty job?
Nagulat ako nang may gumalaw sa likuran ko at hinawakan ang pitsel na kalalapag ko pa lamang sa mesa. Uminom siya mula doon nang hindi gumagamit ng baso. Ni hindi ako makatingin sa kanya sa sobrang kahihiyan. Not only did I get rejected, worst, my own uncle declined my offer.
"Are you drunk?" he asked. "You reek of alcohol."
Dahan-dahan akong tumango. I drank a few shots, but I'm not drunk. Nasa tamang pag-iisip pa ako but I'm thinking about things that not even drunk people will do.
"Magpahinga ka na," he told me. "Maaga pa tayo bukas."
"Can you reconsider?" I asked.
"No," he said. Hindi pa rin siya tumitingin sa akin. Dahan-dahan siyang tumalikod at akmang aakyat sa hagdan papunta sa kwarto niya, pero napigilan ko siya.
"Medel," he said, looking at my hands. "Are you out of your mind?"
"I don't know," I told him.
"Ask your parents for money," he told me as he pulled his arms away from my hands. "Or talk to your boyfriend, I'm sure he'll let it pass. I managed to get you out of this incident using my money, too."
"As if naman mauubos agad ang pera mo," I told him while rolling my eyes. "You're filthy rich! And Geron's not my boyfriend!"
"My parents are. I am not," he said. "I thought he's your boyfriend."
"Whatever," I said. Kahit i-deny niya pa, he's still rich! Even richer than my grandfather!
Nakasunod lang ako sa kanya pabalik sa kwarto niya noong hindi na siya umimik. Nagulat ako nang humarap siya bigla. Mukhang nagulat rin siya sa lapit naming dalawa kaya naman humakbang siya paatras. "You can use any other rooms except mine."
"Okay," I said, at naglakad papasok sa kwarto niya. "I'm just going to get my bag."
Hindi siya sumagot at mukhang bumaba siya ulit. Baka may nakalimutang isara or dino-double check ang mga doorknobs.
I'm not really comfortable with what I am wearing kaya naman nagpasya akong kumuha ng damit sa closet ni Uncle Chrollo. Hihiramin ko na lang muna at ibabalik ko na lang kapag pumunta siya sa bahay.
I opened his closet and looked for a shirt. I'm sure na I can't borrow his shorts because it won't fit. He's a lot taller and bigger than me. I took my clothes off except for my underwear and my short shorts.
Noong nakakita ako ng damit ay isinabit ko lang ito sa balikat ko. Medyo nacurious kasi ako sa laman ng drawer nya kaya naman binuksan ko kaagad ito. I was shocked to see condoms. and even lubricants. Well, I guess I'm not supposed to be shocked, my uncle is a real man, hello! And I saw a weird looking thing, para saan kaya iyon? I'm sure I saw it somewhere, siguro sa GC ng mga kaibigan ko. The boys are always sharing nasty things on our GC, even scandals and other lewd pictures. I took a picture of it and I sent it to Calli para tanungin kung ano iyon.
I tried to open another drawer and saw women's underwear and even clothes. I was about to touch it nang biglang nagsalita si Uncle Chrollo, "What are you doing?"
Napalingon ako and saw his eyes shifted from my face to my body. Crap, nakalimutan kong magbihis! Kung ano-ano kasing pinakikialaman ko.
"Sorry, humiram lang ako ng damit," I said at nagmamadaling isinuot ang shirt na kinuha ko sa closet nya. but it wasn't enough to cover my lower body as the hem hangs loose below my belly. Akala ko pa naman ay malaking damit ang nakuha ko, I was wrong.
"Are you trying to tease me?" he asked.
