Naikuyom ko ang kamao ko. Nagtangis na rin ang bagang ko. Si Jac naman, ayaw akong pakawalan.
“Bitiwan mo ako, Jac! Makakatikim na sa akin ang hambog na ‘yan!" Nanggagalaiti kong sabi.
The nerve of him, para sabihin ‘yon kay Dorry! Sira yata talaga ang tuktok nito gaya ng mga magulang niya. Akala niya, lahat ng taong kaharap nila ay sakim sa pera.
“Sir, let’s wait. Tingnan muna natin paano e-handle ni Dorry ang hambog na ‘yan.”
To my surprise, Dorry seems to play along at first. She tilted her head, giving Hector a smile as she said, “You really think you can give me the life I want?”
Agad na lumapad ang ngiti ni Hector. “Absolutely. Leave Nelson, and I promise you, you’ll have everything—a life of luxury, power, anything you desire. You’ll never have to lift a finger again.”
