Sam's POV
Fifteen minutes before seven in the evening pa lang pero nandito na ako sa VIP room ng Rina's at hinihintay si Mr. Fernan Galo. Alam kong may plano sila Sherwin at Rina but I don't exactly know what it is.
Kung ako ang papipiliin mas gugustuhin ko pang nasa bahay ako nagbabasa kasama si Aljosh, and of course kasama din ang dalawang puppy na sina Hikaru at Lantis.
"Hi! Sorry, I'm late." sabi ng isang lalaki na umupo sa harapan ko.
Tama lang naman ang pangangatawan niya, hindi siya payat pero hindi rin siya mataba. He is handsome, pero mas gwapo pa rin si Aljosh.
"I'm Fernan Galo." pakilala niya na inilahad ang kamay na tinanggap ko.
"I'm Sa-"
"Samantha. I know you. Madalas kitang makita sa mga party and business gatherings. Kasama ka lagi ni Sherwin Velasquez." putol niya sa sinasabi ko na ningitian ko bilang tugon.
"Shall we start?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"Relax. The business can wait. We can have dinner first. Talk about ourselves, get to know each other."
"I'm sorry, Mr. Galo. But I came here to talk about business only."
Bumuntong-hininga siya bago magsalita. "Okay. But can we have our dinner first?" he asked and I nodded.
Pagkatapos ay sinenyasan niya ang waitress na nasa may pinto na agad namang lumapit sa amin.
"Serve our food." utos niya na agad namang sinunod nito.
Tahimik lang kami habang hinihintay makabalik yung waitress. Madali lang naman kasi 'yon dahil sila Sherwin na ang nag-dacide kung ano ise-serve sa amin at sure ako na luto na 'yon ngayon.
Hindi nagtagal ay dumating na yung waitress na may tulak na food cart. Inilagay niya agad ang mga pagkain sa mesa namin.
"Sinabi nila Rina na Filipino foods ang paborito mo." sabi ni Fernan nang mailagay na lahat ang pagkain at lumabas na yung waitress. "Hindi ako mahilig sa Filipino food, pero dahil paborito mo 'yan na ang ni-request ko kina Sherwin. And for you, kakain ako ng mga 'yan."
Ang daming pagkain sa harapan namin. Buti na lang at medyo malaki ang mesa namin kaya nagkasya lahat. Parang may handaan sa dami. Merong bulalo, caldereta, embotido, hardinera, pastel, lumpiang ubod, at kung anu-ano pa.
"Let's eat." aya ni Fernan na tinanguan ko.
Nagsimula na kaming kumain ng tahimik. But I feel uncomfortable and strange kasi nakatingin sa akin si Fernan. Kumakain din siya pero nakabantay siya sa bawat galaw ko.
'Creepy!'
Parang may binabalak siyang masama. At nagsisimula na akong kabahan. To ease my nervousness, I take a sip of my red wine. Na sana eh hindi ko pala ginawa. Because I swear, nang mangalahati ko na ang wine ko at inilagay ko na ulit sa mesa ang wine glass, I saw Fernan smirked.
Imbes na mabawasan kaba ko eh lalo akong kinabahan. Lalo na nang tumigil na si Fernan sa pagkain at sumandal sa upuan niya at tinitigan ako nang harap-harapan.
"Alam mo ba kung bakit ka nandito?" he asks me.
"To talk about business." sagot ko naman.
"Do you really believe with that excuse?" sabi niya na ikinakunot ng noo ko. "You are not here to talk about business. You are here para tupadin ang napagkasunduan namin para matuloy ang business."
"What do you mean?" naguguluhang tanong ko.
"Matalino ka naman at alam kong malalaman mo rin mamaya or bukas ang sasabihin ko. Pero mas gusto kong i-detalye sa 'yo ang lahat." sabi niya na may mapaglarong ngiti sa mga labi. "Gustong lagyan nila Rina at Sherwin ng pampatulog ang pagkain at inumin mo. So that I can do whatever I want to do with you. At ang kapalit no'n ay ang pagpayag ko na Rina's ang mag-ke-cater tuwing magpapa-party ako."
When I heard that I felt chills run all over me. Hindi ako makapaniwala na magagawa nila sa akin 'yon. I mean I'm aware na gagawa sila ng paraan para magkahiwalay kami ni Sherwin, but not in this way na parang ibinebenta nila ako.
"But I disagree with them. Hindi ako mag-e-enjoy buong gabi kung tulog ka naman." dagdag pa niya.
I was about to say something nang bigla akong mainitan. Uminom ako ng malamig na tubig, baka mawala o mabawasan man lang ang nararamdaman ko pero hindi nangyari. Kaya inilibot ko ang mga mata ko. Tinitingnan kung may iba kaming kasama o kaya ay baka makita ko ang remote ng aircon.
"Why? Do you feel uneasy? Uncomfortable? Hot?" tanong ni Fernan pagkatapos ay tumawa na parang isang demonyo. "Don't try to look for someone kasi tayong dalawa lang dito at sinisigurado ko sa iyo na walang ibang papasok dito. At kung remote naman ng aircon ang hinahanap mo eh 'wag ka na magpakapagod kasi naka-full na ang aircon. Kaya kung ako sa 'yo huwag mong pipigilan ang nararamdaman mo ngayon. Nandito naman ako para tulungan ka." at tumawa uli siya na tulad ng sa demonyo.
Gusto ko nang makaalis dito kaya kinuha ko ang bag ko at sinubukang tumayo pero nanginginig ang tuhod ko kaya napaupo ulit ako.
"Don't try to run. Mag-eenjoy ka rin naman sa gagawin natin. Let's go. We have a reservation in a hotel near here, of course si Rina ang nagpa-reserved no'n." tapos ay tumayo siya at lumapit sa akin.
Humawak ako ng mahigpit sa upuan ko. Dahil kahit ano'ng mangyari hindi ako papayag ns sumama sa kanya. I reached for my phone, I will ask for help. Hindi pwedeng matuloy ang mga plano nila.
"Don't try to resist." sabi niya ng iiwas ko ang braso ko nang hahawakan niya sana ako. "Wala mang pampatulog ang pagkain at inumin mo, but I asked someone to put something on it. And because of it, I'm sure you will enjoy our night together." he tried to touch me but I avoided it again.
"You have two choices, Sam. It's either sasama ka sa akin nang maayos at pupunta tayo sa hotel, or we can wait for the drugs to kick in and we will do it here."
I don't know what to do. I want to call Aljosh or Travis but I didn't have their number. The heat inside me is slowly rising and I know in just few moments hindi ko na kayang tiisin ang nararamdaman ko. I can feel my eyes watering, I don't know what else to do.
Seeing how helpless I am, Fernan tried to touch me again. But before he can succeed, the door suddenly swung open and a figure came in.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Albert's POV
I am in the middle of a meeting when Travis's phone ringed. He looked at me before excusing himself.
With the way how he looks at me, I have a feeling that that call has something to do with Sab. I just hope that she's alright. Because if Fernan did something to her, he will definitely regret it.
When Travis came back he leaned on me and whisper.
"They changed Shane as the waitress. And Shane just found out that Madam's food and drinks were drugged."
After hearing that I immediately stand up and went out of the conference room as fast as I could.
"There's an emergency. Let's just continue this meeting another day." Travis said before following me.
When I reached the parking lot agad akong dumiretso sa driver's seat at si Travis naman ay sumakay sa passenger seat.
I drive as fast as I could to Rina's. When we reached Rina's agad kaming bumaba ni Travis. Then he guide me papunta sa backdoor ng restaurant kung saan nakita ko ang isang babaeng tila may hinihintay.
"Lead the way." sabi ni Travis nang makalapit kami sa babae.
Agad naman binuksan nito ang pinto at pumasok kaya sinundan namin siya.
"What happened, Shane?" Travis asked habang naglalakad kami.
"Nung dumating po ako kanina, sinabi po agad sa akin ng Manager namin na tauhan na daw po ni Sir Fernan ang magse-serve ng pagkain. Hindi ko po agad sinabi sa inyo kasi gusto ko po munang masiguro ang lagay ni Ms. Sam. Kaya po nung narinig ko sa tauhan ni Sir Fernan na may pinalagay na gamot si Sir Fernan eh agad ko po kayong tinawagan. Hindi ko nga lang po nalaman kung ano ang gamot na inilagay nila." sa ni Shane.
"Malaking tulong na ang nagawa mo." sabi ni Travis at tapos ay humarap siya sa akin. "Boss, knowing Fernan, I think it's-"
"I know." putol ko sa sinasabi niya.
"Nandiyan po sila sa loob." sabi ni Shane nang tumigil kami sa harap ng isang pinto.
"Thank you, Shane." sabi ni Travis.
Agad ko namang binuksan ang pinto.
"Sorry, I'm late." sabi ko habang naglalakad palapit kay Sab.
She's sweating and I can see that she's uncomfortable. The drug is starting to kick in. If we came a few minutes later, maybe I will be too late.
"Albert, what are you doing here?" gulat na tanong ni Fernan.
"To help my wife with her meeting."
"Wife? You're married? Kailan pa? Alam na ba iyan nila Tito't Tita? Nila Lolo?"
"No." I answered. I am now near them.
"It's an honor that I will be the first one to meet her. Where is she? I think you entered the wrong room."
"She's here."
"She's here?" and his face paled. I think he already realize who my wife is. " Y-you mean your w-wife is-"
"Samantha." and his face became paler. "And I can see that you did your trick again."
"I-I'm sorry. I-I didn't know that she's your w-wife. If I know I w-wouldn't dare to touch even a single strand of her hair." he explained.
"Are you okay?"
"Mainit. Sobrang init." sagot niya habang umiiling nang marahan at pinapaypayan ang sarili.
Binuhat ko siya, princess style. Ipinalibot naman niya ang kanyang dalawang braso sa aking leeg at ang kanyang mukha ay inihilig sa akin.
Naglakad na ako palabas ng VIP room na iyon. Pero bago ako tuluyang makalabas ay tumigil ako at nagsalita nang hindi tinitingnan si Fernan.
"I hope you will not tell anyone about Sab being my wife. Kapag nalaman kong may pinagsabihan ka na kahit isa, kahit magulang ko, kapatid, kila Lolo, kamag-anak natin o kahit sino pa 'yan. I'll make sure that you will regret it." at tapos ay naglakad na ako.
Habang naglalakad ako patungo sa back door ay ramdam ko ang titig nang staff ng Rina's pero hindi ko na lang pinansin.
Sa back door kami dadaan dahil ayaw kong may makakita kay Sab in her current state. Because right now, she's in my neck and I can feel her smelling and kissing me. And she holds me so tight na parang ayaw na niya ako pakawalan.
When I reached my car, I found Travis waiting for us. He quickly open the passenger seat and I put Sab there. I was about to buckle her seatbelt when she pulls me and kiss me. Ginawa ko ang lahat para malagyan siya ng seatbelt, at nang magawa ko ay pinilit kong tumayo at agad isinara ang pinto. It's a good thing that Travis already turned the car's aircon to the fullest. It may help Sab a little.
Humarap ako kay Travis.
"Go get, Shane. I'm sure that Fernan will vent his anger on her. Bilisan mo lang, Sab really needs to go home."
I know it will be awkward for Travis and Shane to be inside the car with Sab and I. But I can't leave them here.
"You should go, Boss. Shane and I will take a cab." sabi niya at bumalik na sa loob.
Bakit nga ba hindi ko naisip na pwede silang mag-taxi? I was so worried with Sab that I can't think straight anymore.
Nang makaupo na ako sa driver's seat nakita ko si Sab trying to undress heself.
"What are you doing?" I said habang pinipigilan siyang hubarin ang damit.
"Sobrang init." sabi niya.
"Tiisin mo lang muna, please." and then I reached for my phone dialled my friend's number and drive as fast as I can.
"Hello."
"Neil, you have to help me. Fernan, drugged my wife. What should I do?"
"Well, she's your wife. The solution is you. You just need to do 'it' with her."
"I can't and I won't! You have to give me another solution!" I demanded.
"Okay, okay. Relax. Just give her an ice bath. It will help her a little. But she has to do it everytime she feels hot. It will be a long process and she might get sick."
"Thanks."
"Can you tell me why you don't want to do 'it' with her?"
"Now is not the right time. Maybe next time." I said as I ended the call.
After few minutes we reached home and Sab is now only wearing her bra on her top, thankfully she still has her pants.
Bumaba na ako at pumunta sa passenger seat. I just opened the door when she pulled me again and kissed me. Her kisses felt so good na hindi ko napigilan ang sarili ko na tugunin iyon.
But I'm still able to unbuckle her seatbelt. Then I put my coat on her and carry her like a princess. Sa mabibilis at malalaking hakbang ay agad pumasok at dumiretso sa kwarto namin.
I put her on our bed, turn the aircon on and put it on the maximum, and then I locked our bedroom door. Then I went to our shower room and prepare her iced cold bath at the bath tub. When everything was ready I went out to get Sab.
And I was shocked with what I saw. She is fully naked. And I was taken aback because this is the first time I saw her perfect body.
'Albert, control yourself. You promised Sab. You know she won't like it if you take advantage with the situation.'
I heaved a sigh and went to Sab.
"Sab, you have to take a bath." I said to her.
She looked at me in an alluring way and then she hugged and kissed me again.
"Aljosh, I need you. I want you." she said between our kisses.
"No, Sab. You don't like it. If we did it you will regret it afterwards. So listen to me, go to the shower room and take a bath." sabi ko na pinipigilan ang sarili ko na halikan uli siya.
"I won't regret it." she said and hold my face then kiss me.
I can't stand it anymore. So I let her kissed me, and I deepened our kiss. I hugged her as she removed my shirt.
Third Person's POV
"What happened, Fernan?" tanong ni Rina na kadarating lang sa Rina's.
Tinawagan siya ng kanyang mga tauhan at sinabing nagwawala si Fernan sa VIP room. Kaya naman agad siyang pumunta kasama si Sherwin. And when they reached the VIP room, the whole room was in a total mess. Nagkalat ang mga basag na pinggan at baso, ang mesa at bangko ay nakatumba.
"Where is Sam?" tanong naman ni Sherwin.
"Tumakas ba siya? Sabi ko na nga ba dapat nilagyan nating pampatulog ang pagkain n'ya. In that way she can't run away. But don't worry, we will make sure that Sam-"
"No! Don't do anything with her. Huwag n'yo nang palalain ang sitwasyon!" galit na sigaw ni Fernan.
"Ano ba talaga ang nangyari?" naguguluhang tanong ni Rina.
"Kasalanan n'yo lahat ito. Dahil sa inyo siguradong ako ang babalikan n'ya." singhal ni Fernan.
"Ano ba ang sinasabi mo? Did her brother's found out our plan? Pero walang dahilan para matakot ka sa kanila. I mean, yes their family is rich and powerful, but compare to yours they are nothing." sabi ni Rina na tinawanan lang ni Fernan.
"You don't have any idea who's backing her up. So I'm sorry, I won't agree to your proposal. Sorry, but I have to go."
"Who is it?" tanong ni Sherwin.
"I can't say it, or else my life would be a living a hell." Fernan said while shaking his head. "But if you want to know, tanungin n'yo yung waitress na dapat mag-se-serve sa amin. That is if you can still find her." makahulugang sabi ni Fernan.
"Si Shane?" tanong ni Rina. "Why her?"
"Sinabi sa akin ng mga tauhan mo na siya ang nagdala sa mga sumundo kay Sam. We looked for her pero hindi na namin siya makita. Sorry for the mess, but I have to go."
"Fernan, maybe we can still talk about my proposal."
"No. Ayaw kong galitin siyang lalo. Isa pa, malakas ang kutob ko na magiging busy ako sa mga susunod na buwan at siguradong hindi ako makakapag-organize ng party." sabi ni Fernan na dahilan para maguluhan sila Sherwin at Rina. "Just a piece of advice. I don't know why but I know that you want to hurt Sam. Kung ako sa inyo, itigil n'yo na ang mga pinaplano n'yo laban sa kanya kung ayaw n'yong makaharap ang dragon." at pagkatapos ay umalis na siya at iniwangn naguguluhan sila Sherwin at Rina.
