Chapter 27

"Whatever Steven. Just-"

He immediately cut me off.

"Professor Steven."

Napa-irap ako sa sinabi niya.

"Whatever, professor."

Ngiting tagumpay agad ang bumalandra sa mukha niya nang tinawag ko siyang 'professor'.Sige Steven, alilain mo lang ako.

"Don't you think of saying this to Astrid. Kasi..." Inilapit niya ang mukha niya sa akin. Hindi naman ako nagpatinig. I just lazily raised my brow.

"Idadamay talaga kita."

"I'm so scared Steven. No!" I sarcastically said.

Hindi na ako pinansin nito at nakatuon na sa entablado ang mga mata.

Maya maya ay nagsigawan na ang mga tao. Mostly men. Magsisimula na pala ang bidding. And the first category was the bidding of the ladies'

Nagsilabasan agad ang mga babae. They all looked beautiful and sophisticated. But they look like sluts on their dresses; hugging dresses revealing too much cleavage.

"They're gonna date the ladies if they win them?" Tanong ko kay Steven.

"No. They're buying the ladies. Sa kanila na."

Natigilan ako sa sagot niya.

"What? That's illegal!"

He ridiculously looked at me. "We are currently on an underground event, Senyora."

"What I mean is, kung bibilhin sila anong mangyayari? Their families pumayag ba sila or..." I trailed off.

"Most of them were kidnapped and some just want to be sold. You know live the life they want." Kibit balikat nitong sabi.

Hindi na ako mapakali dito. What the fuck is this? These are clearly against human rights!

"Calm down Senyora. Wala na tayong magagawa diyan. This is how it works." Sabi nito nang mapansing tensyonado na ako.

Huminga ako ng malalim at ipinagpatuloy ang panonood. Nagsalita na agad ang host.

"Good day ladies and gentleman. Without further a do, let's get started!"

Umingay agad sa iba't ibang reaksiyon ang paligid.

Isa sa mga babae ay pumunta na sa gitna. Hinawi pa nito ang mahaba niya buhok; revealing more skin.

"To miss Regine? Anyone?" The host said

"Pay attention to every detail, Senyora." Steven whispered. Inirapan ko lang siya.

"The bidding will start with amount of 50,000 thousand !"

"100,000 thousand!"

"150,000 thousand!"

"600,000 thousand!"

"900,000 thousand!"

Natahimik na agad ang iba dito.

"Higher that 900,000 thousand pesos?" The host asked.

"Going in 5,4,3,2,1. Then Mr. Cruz gets our Regine!"

The dirty, old man immediately walk up the stage and snatched the girl. Para namang nabuhusan ng malamig na tubig ang babae nang nakita ang bumili sa kanya. You expect that a gorgeous criminal would buy you? My goodness.

"That's Winston Cruz. Number one cocaine distributor here." Bulong ni Steven.

"What will he do with the girl?"

"Bed her, I guess? Wala na tayo doon, Senyora. She was sold." Parang wala lang sabi ni Steven.

Sumunod naman ang isang babae. It was evident that she was on the verge of crying.

"Now to miss Kristel!"

" The bidding will start with the amount of 70,000

"100,000 thousand!"

Nagulat ako nang sumigaw din si Steven.

"120,000 thousand!" He said.

"Bibilhin mo siya?" I whispered.

"I find her cute. But I won't seriously buy her."

Tumalim ang tingin ko sa kanya.

"Wag ka ng makisali!"

"750,000 thousand!"

"10 million!"

Napatigil agad kami sa narinig. 10 fucking million? Even the host and the girl was startled.

"H-higher than 10 million? Anyone?"
Tahimik na ang paligid.

"Then Ms. Celeste gets Kristel!"

An equally smexy girl find her way to the stage and get that Kristel kinausap niya ito sandali. Nahimasmasan naman ang babae at kalmadong sumunod sa babae.

I, also sighed in relief. Bumaling naman si Steven sa akin.

"You think that girl would leave peacefully? No. That was Madeline Celeste. She's active on the porn industry. She will probably make that girl a porn fucking star."

"What the fuck?" Naibulalas ko nalang.

"See? Everybody on the bidding can't escape a bitter-sweet fate, Senyora."

Nanginginig na ako habang pinapanood ang isang babae na nasa harapan na din. I can't take this.

"Steven, where's the washroom?"

Bumaling ito sa akin. "Samahan na kita."

"I can handle m-" he immediately cut me off.

"We are not on an ordinry event, Senyora. Kaya sasamahan kita."

The washroom was on the second floor, at nang makapasok ako ay dali-dali kong hinugusan ang mga kamay ko.

I feel so guilty looking all those woman, helpless. I can't take this! Maybe I shouldn't enter this but...I fucking need too.

Nagulat nalang ako nang biglang pumasok si Steven. He handed me a towel. Agad ko iyong tinanggap.

"You see, Senyora? Things are more inhuman than you think."

"B-but h-how...p-paano mo natitiis na makita sila ng ganon? Hindi na natin alam ang mangyayari sa kanila, Steven." Nanginginig kong sabi.

He sighed and looked at me. "Maybe my conscience died a long time ago, Senyora. I just feel nothing when I see those."

"Bakit mo ba pinagpipilitan ang sarili mo dito, Senyora?"

"Because I need to, Steven." I said in a small voice.

"Para kay Astrid diba? Sorry if I betrayed you, Senyora....Because I need to. And that's for Steven, too."
