Shizuka
It's already 9pm and nandito na ako sa Tokyo, Japan. I called Riko as soon as I arrived.
I thought bukas pa ang business meeting but it will be later at 10pm. I tried to talk with Riko na i-adjust but she wouldn't budge.
"K, enjoy your stay and everything you need ay nandiyan at na-ready ko na. Call me only if uuwi ka na, sayonara!"
She's a bullshit talaga na magaling.
It's been years bago ako makabalik dito. I couldn't remember the exact places or the city itself. For me, Tokyo is a lonely place.
Japan is nothing but a tragic and empty place and the only thing that keeps it alive is the city lights.
High-rise buildings with high-paying jobs where employees with sky-high dreams that work all their lives only end up digging their own graves because no matter how hard they earn, they couldn't afford those dreams because they are pathetic and willingful slaves for the elites.
Stupid shits.
"Shizuka-sama, the limousine is—
I got in the car and we sped off.
"Where are we going?"
"In the better place, Shizuka-sama," the chauffeur answered simply. I rolled at his stupidity.
"We're here, Shizuka-sama." Four bodyguards assisted me but I ignored them and lead the way.
I stopped on my track when I saw the sign.
Eri's
So dito ang business meeting? This is fucked up.
I shooked my head because everyone and everything is a mess and fucking with me.
I wanted to retract but I don't have a choice. I made my way inside easily with the four bodyguards tailing me.
Neon lights dancing with the beat of the electro music and the crowd raving. Nakakabingi masyado at puro usok ang buong place.
Someone pulled me with full force and in an instant, we were out of that noisy and disgusting place.
The mixed scents of cigarette, sweat, and alcohol made me want to vomit.
"Welcome back my dear ex, K," the flirty witch greeted me.
Long, blonde hair, red lips that is and will never be kissable, and red daring dress that she always wear.
Still a slut as ever.
"Stop fooling around," I said as I pointed my golden pistol on her forehead. All I need to do is pull the trigger.
She only smirked at me at pinaalis ang mga bodyguards. We were left alone.
"Ibababa mo 'yan o ibababa ko 'to?" sabay dakma sa kargada ko. Bahagya akong napaatras. "Hmm? Ito na lang ang iputok mo sa akin," at pinisil niya pa ito kaya medyo nanlambot ang paghawak ko sa pistol.
Marahas ko siyang itinulak.
"Why did you push me so hard? Tinitigasan ka na ba sa akin?" This witch is really a slut.
"Last warning." I'm still pointing my gun at her.
"Ayoko ng pinuputukan ako sa ulo. Gusto ko sa loob."
"Fuck you, Eri."
She smirked even more.
"Sure. Ngayon na ba? I wanna be fucked from behind, dog style," then she started to strip.
I pulled the trigger and shock was written all over her face that turned into rage. Lucky for her, sa wall lang tumama.
"Tangina mo talaga! Sinisiguro kong pati titi mo puputok mo mamaya!" gigil niyang sigaw at marahas akong hinila sa aking coat paalis ng place na 'yon.
"Let go! Uuwi na—
I stopped when we got into a dark room. It was silent.
Then a neon blue light was turned in the entire room.
"This is our meeting place. Welcome to Eri's, where heaven and sinners unite. And in this room, we will do the deed. I'll let you call this haven of mine, 'The Bar'."
I scanned the entire room.
A luxurious bar counter with bar stools with glass shelves containing luxurious concoctions.
Beside it is a rack of rifles and some grenades.
"Are you loving it, my love?" she whispered to my ear and she enveloped me with her filthy arms from behind.
"I see nothing but trash. Like you."
She only chuckled at my nightmare. To be here is more than a nightmare.
"The more aggressive you are, the wetter my pussy becomes. I want your big, thick cock now, K," and she licked my ear habang dakma na naman niya ang kargada ko at marahang pinipisil ito.
I was about to pull my gun but she grabbed my throat.
"Are you looking for this?" and she threw my gun somewhere and there was a sudden noise of shattered glass.
I tried to strike her with my elbow but the slut choked me more. I grasped for air while I kept on resisting and pulling her hand off my neck when my grip loosened.
"Gotcha K. Years have already passed but alam ko pa rin ang weakness mo. Stop resisting, K. I know you want this. Huwag mo ng pigilan. Just succumb to it. Do you want me to stop? Hmm?"
"S-Stop...Ahh hmm," I moaned.
"Fuck K. Your rock hard cock is turning me on. I wanna suck it so bad, baby. You're getting harder and harder. So hot. So big." Her hand was already in my pants, stroking my hard cock now. She's enjoying it while I'm struggling.
"Ahhh, fuck." As much as I wanted not to moan, I couldn't. This is wrong. This can't be happening!
"Moan my name baby—
"Hoy kayong dalawa diyan! Mamaya na kayo magkantutan diyan! Puro ungol na lang, nandito pa kami oh! Mamaya niyo na ituloy 'yan! Ang lilibog niyo!"
S-Sei?
"Tsk. Uupuan ko 'yan mamaya. Finally, tinigasan ka rin," she let me go then she kissed me on my cheek.
"Tangina niyo, akala ko nagtitirahan na kayong dalawa. Mamaya na kayo magparaos 'pag tapos na tayo," pangaral ni Sei samin.
"K, ang tigas mo pa rin oh. Pahawak nga, tingnan ko lang kung mahaba at mataba talaga," asar naman ni Kazuko.
Nakaupo silang dalawa sa bar stools with a vacant seat sa gitna. Doon nila ako pinaupo habang si slut nasa bar counter, nagpeprep ng drinks.
"Ang sarap talagang makadakma ng titi lalo na ng titi mo K my loves. Sa susunod isusubo ko na," pagpapantansya niya while giving us our drinks.
They chugged it one shot while me, glaring at her.
"Inumin mo na. Don't worry, walang pampalibog 'yan. Kamay ko lang sapat na para tigasan ka."
"Will you shut your fucking mouth?!"
"Will you shut it with your thick cock?" and she licked her lips like a maniac she is.
"Guys, enough with that kahit isang oras lang. Can we discuss it now? You can have all the pussies and cocks after this." Sei is serious now.
"Okay! Basta titi ni K mamaya."
"Ano ba! Pwede bang 'wag niyo ng tingnan?!" I yelled at Sei and Kazuko. They still looking at my cock na nakatayo pa sa pants ko.
"So, anong pag-uusapan natin?" iritado kong tanong dahil gusto ko na 'tong matapos.
"How's your life lately, my baby K?"
I remained silent habang nakasubsob sa bar counter.
"Let me rephrase it. How's your wife? Did she know na nandito ka at tinitigasan ka sa iba?"
I ignored her question again. I felt extreme sadness when she said wife.
"K, humihinga ka pa ba?"
"Yes but..I'm dead inside."
"Her wife is fine. They met already," Kazuko answered for me.
"Oh, I felt a pang of jealousy in my pussy. So, how was it?"
"She still doesn't remember and she left already after we met."
"How tragic naman. Ano ba kasing ginawa mo? She's 19 right? Ang bata naman. Ayaw mo sa kasing edad mo?"
"I can't tell you."
"Pa'no ka pala namin matutulungan kung di mo sasabihin samin? That's why you're here! We'll help you with your wife. Ang sakit lang 'no? Ako ang nagpapatigas pero sa iba ka papasok. Freezer lang pala ako sa buhay mo, K."
"Bobo. And you know nothing slut. Hinding-hindi mo ko matutulungan."
"Of course I know everything! Ikaw ang walang alam dito. Do you want to know the truth huh?"
"What truth?"
"Everything you want to know, K," simpleng sagot ni Sei habang humihithit ng sigarilyo. Gano'n din si slut at Kazuko and they offered me one. Tinapat ko lang sa sindi ng yosi ni Kazuko ang yosi ko and I smoked.
"So where shall we start?" Kazuko asked while sipping her scotch.
Tiningnan naman nila ako and I stared back at them.
"Alright, let's start with your lover. What's her name?"
"Dos Uy but I call her Uji."
"Tinatanong ko lang ang pangalan. Hindi ko tinanong kung anong tawag mo sa kanya. Baka."
"Shine."
Naubos na agad ni slut ang yosi and she lighted another one then poured her glass a whiskey.
I sipped the one she gave me.
A fucking iced tea.
"Baka malasing ka kasi agad. Ang tanda-tanda mo pa naman na. So, humupa na ba 'yang titi mo ha?"
"Tuloy na natin, mamaya na 'yang landian niyong dalawa. Ba't nga ba Dos ang pangalan ni Dos? Tapos Uy pa ang gamit niya?" awat samin ni Sei.
"For protection. There was a threat to her life hanggang ngayon."
"Ara ara. I believe it's more than that. I bet alam mo 'yon, K."
"Ano 'yon? Meaning, dapat Dos Yu ang gamit niya 'di ba? San naman nakuha 'yong Dos? Ang layo sa pangalan ni Riko tapos sa tatay niya," curious na tanong Kazuko.
"What about her daddy? May balita ka na ba don, K? Nagkita na ba kayo ulit after 15 years? Nasaan siya? Anong ginagawa?"
"Give me more iced tea." I felt nervous when talking about him.
"Are you scared of him, K? Balita ko, sobrang bait daw ng daddy niya," pangiti-ngiti niyang sabi habang nakatingin sa akin.
I hate to admit but takot ako sa tatay ni Uji. Sobra.
"You're wrong. Don't understimate him. He can do everything with a snap of his fingers. But you're right, I'm a coward when it comes to him," I confessed.
"Why is that? Pa'no mo pala pakakasalan si Dos kung natatakot ka sa daddy niya? Hanggang titi ka na lang ba? At bakit hindi pa kayo nagkikita after 15 years? How about Dos? Nagkita na ba sila?"
I'm getting pissed. Ang daming tanong ni slut na puro nonsense.
"Why do you ask so many questions? Para san ba 'to? It makes no sense. I'm out." I was about to leave when she hit the table.
"Just answer my fucking questions, K."
"For what?"
"For something that I couldn't tell you. For now. Di tayo matatapos dito hangga't di mo sinasagot lahat ng tanong. Simple lang naman ang hinihingi ko. Tanong ko, sagot mo then we move forward."
"Bakit? Sino ka ba? We're only childhood friends that grew up together. Not an ex nor close friends."
She shooked her head like she was disappointed in me.
"Since we were kids, K, I liked you na. You were the quiet ones na sobrang thoughtful and expressive lalo na don sa bata. I liked you more when I found out na may titi ka pala, haha! Now that I'm a lawyer na, gusto pa rin kita lalo na 'yong titi mo."
"You're a slut lawyer? You must be joking." Di ako naniniwala.
"Eri, seriously, mukha ka ng titi. Gusto mo pagawan na kita?" asar ni Sei dito.
"Ay wag niyong iniiba ang usapan. So, nagmeet na ba si Dos at daddy niya? At kayong dalawa K?"
"Both no. Di kami pwedeng magkita pa because we had a deal 15 years ago and that was also the reason na hindi pa ako pwedeng bumalik ng Japan. I need to complete the deal first, safely and secretly."
She nodded at my response but by the look on her face, she wasn't convinced to what I said.
"Based on my intel, it's the other way around. What's the deal between you and him? Can you share it with us? Curious talaga ako sa deal niyo."
"It's something that I can't disclose. It's only between us... and Riko, his wife."
"Okay, let's assume na alam ko. What will happen if someone failed to comply on the deal? Ba't ba kasi may deal-deal pang nalalaman? Hindi ba pwedeng wala na lang para di nahihirapan ang lahat? Lalo ka na."
"If Riko and me failed, death will be waiting for us. Failing means failing my Uji. She's my soon-to-be wife and it's hard that she couldn't remember me."
"You know what's harder? Your arranged marriage with her is 50/50. There's no guarantee na mapupunta siya sa'yo. Someone can steal her away from you. I know everything K."
I don't know what to feel but she was right. It's one of my fears, ang mawala na naman sakin si Uji.
"How did you know? Are you connected to him? Tell me."
"I'm not, K. But I was connected with your parents. I wished them eternal peace."
"H-How? W-What do you m-mean my p-parents? T-They were already g-gone for a very l-long time."
My voice cracked and I couldn't breathe properly.
"For you," and she handed me a small brown envelope. She reached for my hand and gave it a little squeeze.
I opened it and pain struck into my chest. I felt nothing but pain and sadness with point of no return.
Tears started to fall on my face as I stared at the photo I was holding.
It was my younger self with my parents. We were smiling together.
Mama.
Papa.
I weep in silence as my memories with them flashed back.
Congrats my Kira! You made your Papa proud again! Kira, the archer queen!
Kira, Mama is proud too! Mama will buy you your favorite ice cream. Mama and Papa will always support their baby Kira and they will go to the U.S. together.
Arigato, Mama, Papa! I love you!
I hugged the photo as if my life depended on it. It was the only photo I have with them.
There was another photo.
A photo of my four-year-old Uji.
And the last one.
Our photo together, sitting on a bench at the park while eating an ice cream. Both of us were smiling. I was wearing my high school uniform.
"K, have you ever wished or prayed that you and Uji will meet in another life? And when you meet again, you will still love her like before?"
"Yes and I promised to myself that I'll wait for her no matter what even if it will take years, basta darating siya."
"I'm happy for you. K, you gave her another chance to live. You saved her from death 15 years ago and now that you met again, I know that she's waiting for you. It's all in the past and it's never too late to start all over again."
And they gave me a power hug.
