Spit it out

Chapter 1

"You always have your girls from left to right." Jennie uttered in her most womanly voice.

Siya ang dahilan kung bakit malaya kong nagagawa ang mga bagay na gusto kong gawin ngayon.

"Ladies, Miss Angelica wants everybody to be on the same frame now." May kalakasang sambit ng kung sino sa gitna ng setup.

"I don't ask them to date me, first of all. They ask for it." Sagot ko sa kaibigan habang sabay kaming umaahon mula sa pagkakaupo.

Bahagya siyang tumawa. "You never really changed." Sabat niya sakin.

Matagal na panahon kaming hindi nakapagtrabaho magkasama. Jennie is a cold hearted person whose heart was never hard when it comes to me.

As what people say, I am her kid. We are at the same age but she saved me. Looking how she pose at the camera now makes me so happy. She deserves the fame and wealth.

Iniligtas niya ako sa pagkakakulong sa nakaraan.

"Van!" Tawag sa akin ng mga kaibigan mula sa kabilang classroom.

It is unfortunate how my friends were moved to a lower section while I stayed on the highest section.

Sumenyas ako sa kanila na maghintay pa ng kaunti. We are all graduating from high school. Grade twelve students are supposed to gather for a meeting at the auditorium but our professor is still discussing something.

Inip na inip akong nakikinig habang iniisip ang mga kaibigan sa labas ng classroom na sa tingin ko'y naiinip na rin.

School is my escape from home. I am currently residing with my late mother's friend. Aunt Lucy is actually her best friend. I do not have any relative as I never really met my father, from what I know, he's an Australian tall guy, to whom I got my height from.

My mother used to be a sex worker. It's not as if I wasn't aware of that. I know how she slowly withdrew from that. She used to work in an agency where she works as an escort. We were okay living in a 50 square meter apartment with two rooms.

I am aware with how hard it was for her to recover when we found out that she had Lupus back then. We didn't have the money for medication. Noong may sakit siya, naririnig ko mula sa kabilang kuwarto kung paano siya umiyak at humingi ng tulong sa mga kaibigan.

"She screwed big time." Mahinang sambit ni Auntie Lucy. She has a sophisticated look with her really short hair, pearl necklace and earing together with shimmering bracelet that has diamond crystals. They are well-off and they have a big business.

Hindi ko na pinili pang sumagot sa sinabi niya at hinayaan na lang siya na magkwento sa kung ano man ang gusto niyang sabihin sakin.

"She fell in love with your father, hija." She continued. "From where we worked, that's the most important rule for yourself. You should not fall in love with a customer. I guess your father was worthy enough for her to commit that deep." Sumimsim siya sa tsaa habang ang pinakamaliit na daliri ay nakalutang lamang sa ere.

"I guess so... I never really met him." Sagot ko lang. "I don't even have any idea how he looks like."

"I don't have any idea too. I saw him one time and I was tipsy then so I don't clearly remember."

Pinagpatuloy niya ang pag kwento sa akin kung paanong tumigil si Mama sa pagtatrabaho. After it was confirmed that my Mom was pregnant with me, my father immediately went off. Umalis at nawala na parang bula.

"Your mother told me that she doesn't have any friend aside from me. Your Uncle, Elias, was a customer too. He was bound to be escorted by my coworker but he chose me shortly after seeing me. Hindi ko naman dapat papatulan kaso mapilit." She stated with her slightly high pitched giggle.
