"Senyorito?" I pressed the doorbell for the nth time. Matagal din bago ako nakarinig ng mga yapak na nagmumula sa loob
"What?!"
"House cleaning service po"
I followed him to the living room. He was sitting on the couch, drinking a can of beer while watching tv. Inilibot ko ang paningin sa kabuuan ng kanyang living room: may mga damit na nakakalat sa sahig, may mga bote at can din ng beer sa ibabaw ng coffee table
"Seriously? How can one person make so much mess?!" bulong ko sa sarili
I picked up a black thong on the floor na naapakan ko and looked at him disgustingly
"I had a wild night last night" he said in a bored tone, his eyes still on the tv
I rolled my eyes at him before throwing it in the laundry bin. I looked around and every corner of this unit is a mess. A prince living in a garbage-ish abode.. gwapo nga salaula naman.
I opened the door to his room and was greeted by a natural musky and manly scent. His room was huge and messy! Nagkalat ang mga gamit niya at magulo ang kama. Anong klaseng tao ba ang nakatira rito?
Niligpit ko ang kalat sa kwarto niya and vacuumed his room. Habang pinapalitan ko ang bedsheet ay biglang pumasok ang may-ari nito
"I pay my house cleaner 8500 a month" bungad niya. My breath hitched as my ovaries exploded nang bigla itong maghubad sa harap ko leaving only his boxers on
"P-po?" napayakap ako sa sarili. What is he trying to imply? Isa ba akong bayarang babae sa paningin niya?
"Maliit ang sahod ng on-call cleaners, you could be my regular cleaner instead"
"Ah" napanhinga ako ng maluwag at pasimpleng tinanggal ang pagkakayakap sa sarili
"Kung payag ka, I left the spare keys on the coffee table.. you can have it" he said as he headed to the bathroom
Nang marinig ko na ang pagbagsak ng tubig ay mariin akong napapikit bago dali-daling dinampot ang lumang bedsheet bago lumabas
I wash the dishes, threw the empty cans of beer he left in the living room and vacuumed the floor. Nang matapos na ako ay sandali akong napaupo sa couch, I stretched my legs and arms. I was about to close my eyes for a while nang mahagip nito ang susi
"Maliit ang sahod ng on-call cleaners, you could be my regular cleaner instead"
Days passed and Vice called me to clean up his condo unit. Again. Its the 3rd time this week and as expected, ala-smokey mountain na naman ang condo niya. I thought the 8500 salary a month is too much for a house cleaner, pero sa salaula ng amo ko it is right and just.
Katulad ng mga nagdaang araw, kapag dumadating ako sa hapon ay tulog siya, probably exhausted from partying all night. Magkikita lang kami kung gabi na at papaalis na ako. Daily routine.
Huminga ako ng malalim. Its gonna be a long day! I put on my earphones.. music makes everything better
I probably shouldn't say this
But at times I get so scared
When I think about the previous
Relationship we've shared
Sinasabayan ko pa ng kanta habang pinupulot ang mga nagkalat na damit na pagmamay-ari niya and some random girls he picked up from the club. As usual.
It was awesome but we lost it
It's not possible for me not to care
And now we're standing in the rain
But nothing's ever gonna change until you hear, my dear...
