Problema




I think I was inspired the whole time kahit pa kaunti pa lang ang tulog ko at putol-putol pa tapos work na naman. "Hello po, Kuya Jun!" Ngiting-ngiti pa ako sa security guard ng company building pagkapasok ko sa trabaho.

"Good evening, Ma'am." Ngumiti rin sa akin si Kuya Jun. "Mukhang good mood," komento pa nito.

Nagpatuloy lang ko sa pagngiti na parang tanga at pumasok na. "Girl!" Sinalubong ako ni Rapha since we work for the same company. Nagkakilala naman kami noong college at naging magkaibigan na rin. "Kumusta?!" He gave me a knowing look.

Ngumisi ako. Tapos hinila ko siya sa tabi para may privacy. "Shh," pagpapatahimik ko sa kaniya. Ngumisi naman siya. Ngumiti ako.

"Hala! Ganda mo ngayon, a!" he even teased me.

Tinampal ko siya. "Huwag ka ngang maingay," nangingisi ko rin saway sa kaniya.

"Nga pala, nagyaya sina Leanne, birthday ni Jerusha sa Sabado!" ani Rapha.

Tumango naman ako. Miss ko na rin ang iba pa naming mga kaibigan na nakilala rin sa college. Ang iba ay nanatili sa probinsya at ang iba naman ay narito rin sa Manila at nagtatrabaho parehas sa 'min ni Rapha, sa ibang company nga lang. "Sige," tango ko. "Saan daw?"

Sinabi sa 'kin ni Rapha kung saan at mukhang mag-iinom na naman kaming magbabarkada. Natigil din kami nang oras na para sa trabaho.

"Thank you for calling, T****. My name is Hestia, and how may I help you today?"

"Yes, Hestia. My name is Deborah. You see, I'm an old lady. I'm not a tech savvy person, and I am living alone. My children, they have their own lives, and they don't care about me. I mean, why would they care about a useless hag, you know? So, Hestia, I badly need your help. I only have only $10 left on my card right now and my phone is running out of minutes. I badly need minutes to call if ever something happens to me. You know, I'm old and sick, and I have no one with me. Please, Hestia, help me." Customers who vent their personal problems were very common in a call center job.

"I am sorry to hear about your current situation, Deborah. It must be very hard for you. But do not worry, I would definitely help you on adding minutes to your phone."

"Thank you, darling."

"You're welcome. Now, may I ask for your phone number so that I can pull up your account here and check the available plans that we have for you?"

"Sure, Hestia, just a minute, I have it written. It's 123456789."

"Thank you so much for that. Just allow me a moment, while I pull up your account, please."

"No worries, take your time, Hestia."

"Great, I have successfully pulled up your account here! And upon checking, the plans available for you, we actually have a $10 dollar plan, which will give you 100 calling minutes valid for three days. Now, do you want us to add it right away to your phone, right now, or do you want us to add it on reserve, and you will automatically get it after your current plan expire?"

"What is the difference with that?"

"If we will be going to add the minute right away, your existing plan will automatically end, and the 100 calling minutes with 3-day validation will run right away. While if you chose to add it on reserve, you can still use your available minutes before your purchased minutes will kick in. As I can here on your account, you still have remaining 50 calling minutes from your previous purchase, and these minutes will still be valid until tomorrow, 10 AM. If you would ask my opinion, the latter would be more practical since you still have enough minutes."

"Will that roll over right away if I lost my current minutes? You see, I can't have 0 minutes."

"I understand, Deborah. Yes, this $10 plan will roll over right away after your current minutes run out. So, you don't have to worry about getting your minutes 0, since you will be purchasing a new plan."

"Great, thank you so much for explaining it to me, Hestia. Yes, let's add this new plan to reserve. What do you need, do you want my card number?"

"Yes, I would ask for that in a moment. Let me just first prepare my tools here, okay?"

"Take your time, Hestia."

"Alright, I already have my tools ready. I will ask for your card information, and please say it to me twice, okay?"

"Got it. This is a visa card, are you ready for the numbers?"

"Yes, go ahead."

The customer provided all the necessary information, and I successfully added the plan to her device. "Okay, I have successfully added the $10 plan to your reserve, and it will roll over right away after your minutes run out."

"Great, thank you so much for helping me, Hestia. You are very nice, and you explained it fairly well to me. I hope you have a very good day and a healthy life."

"Oh, it's my pleasure to help you, Deborah. So we're all set now. Thank you for calling T****, you also do have a good day!"

"Thank you." The customer ended the call.

I sighed a satisfied sigh. I smiled, thinking of really having a good time. I was such in a good mood. Sana ganito na lang palagi... But that's just impossible. Umiling ako at nagpatuloy sa trabaho.

Kahit madaling araw ay sinundo pa rin ako ni Louis pagkatapos ng work shift ko. "Hi!" I greeted him when I got in his car.

Louis kissed my cheek kaya napangiti ako. Kinumusta pa niya ang work ko kaya lalo akong napangiti. Kinumusta ko na rin siya. May-ari pala ang pamilya nila ng mga mall na silang dalawa rin ng older brother niya ang nagma-manage. Mayaman din talaga siya. I was really getting comfortable with Louis. Masaya rin siyang kasama at kakuwentuhan. Dumaan muna kami para mag-take out ng pagkain at mag-uumaga na rin. Para hindi na raw ako magluto pa sa condo niya at magpahinga na lang. Caring din, 'di ba? Hindi na rin talaga masama itong pinasok ko.

Pagkarating sa penthouse niya ay hindi na kami umabot sa kuwarto niya sa pagkakataong ito at naghalikan at naghubaran na lang sa sofa ng living room. Nasa ibabaw ko na si Louis at humahalik na rin sa leeg ko habang ang kamay niya ay nasa dibdib ko. Napadaing pa ako when he pinched my nipple. "Ah..." I moaned. Pero nasulyapan kong umilaw ang phone ko na nando'n at sa isiping importante ay inabot ko iyon habang abala si Louis sa akin. May text galing sa bunso kong kapatid. Agad nag-init ang ulo ko sa nabasang text at tinulak muna si Louis paalis sa 'kin. Nagtaka naman siya. "Sandali lang, ha. Kakausapin ko lang nanay ko," sabi ko sa kaniya at iniwan na muna siya roon.

Lumayo ako habang nilalagay ang phone sa tainga ko. Naghintay pa ako ng ilang ring bago sinagot sa kabilang linya. "Ma naman!" bungad ko.

"O, bakit, anak? May problema ba?" ani Mama.

Nasapo ko ang noo. "Nag-text sa 'kin si Jennie, nangutang na naman daw kayo sa kay Aling Mercie!"

"Ah, 'yon ba, anak. Ay, oo, sa tindahan naman ni Mercie, anak. Pang-meryenda namin ng mga kapatid mo noong isang araw. Soft drinks lang naman 'yon at ilang chichirya," sabi nito.

Napabuntonghininga ako. Si Aling Mercie pa naman, ang bilis din maningil. "Okay, padadalhan ko para mabayaran n'yo na ang utang ninyo sa tindahan. Siguraduhin mo lang, Ma, na sa tindahan lang ni Aling Mercie kayo nangutang at hindi mismo sa kaniya at pera." Nagka-trauma na yata ako sa tuwing nalalaman kong nagkakautang ang nanay ko. Nabaon din kami sa utang noon kaya rin sila naghiwalay ni Papa... Pero alam kong may iba ring dahilan si Papa, dahil sa babae niya. At ngayon, nagsasama na nga sila at siya pa ang bumubuhay roon sa mga anak ng babae sa dati rin nitong asawa.

Napabuntonghininga muli ako nang maalala. "Ito namang si Hestia, oo nga, anak. Promise," ani Mama sa kabilang linya.

"Huwag na kayong mangungutang, Ma," paalala ko sa kaniya. Pinapadalhan ko naman sila ng sustentong pangkain at bills pati pang-eskwela ng mga kapatid ko buwan-buwan. Madalas pa nga akong magkautang-utang kina Sonnie at Rapha at sa iba pa naming mga kaibigan para may pantustos sa kanila. Mahirap, oo, pero mahal ko ang pamilya ko.

"Oo nga, anak. At huwag kang mag-alala, matatapos din ang mga pagkakautang natin," sabi pa niya.

"Paano naman matatapos, Ma? Kung hindi pa nga tayo nakakatapos magbayad sa isa, meron na naman sa isa."

Natahimik sa kabilang linya. Napabuntonghininga na lang ako.

Tinapos ko na rin ang tawag pagkatapos. Bumalik na rin ako kay Louis at tinabi na ang phone ko. "Pasensya ka na." Napangiwi ako.

"Your mom?"

Tumango ako kay Louis. "Oo, si Mama kasi tigas ng ulo. Hilig mangutang kung kanino." I sighed. Nasabi ko na rin tuloy sa kaniya ang isa sa mga problema ko.

Nakatingin siya sa 'kin. "Are you okay? Is there anything that I can do to help?" tanong niya.

Umiling ako at ngumiti na. "Ayos lang ako. Nasa'n na nga ba tayo?" Ngumisi ako.

He smirked, too, and resumed kissing me. Pumulupot ang mga braso ko sa leeg at batok niya. Pilit ko na lang munang kinalimutan ang mga problema ko. Nandiyan lang 'yan at alam ko namang hindi bastang mawawala. But just give me this time for now. I wanted to forget about my problems for a while. I became aggressive. "Easy." Louis smirked at parang hindi pa iyon inasahan sa akin.

Tinulak ko siya pahiga sa sofa. He smirked more. I knew he's liking it. Ngayon ko lang masusubukan sa sarili ko ang mga nababasa ko lang noon sa erotic-romance books na pinagbabasa ko noon. Magagamit ko rin pala talaga ang kaunting knowledge ko pagdating ngayon. Should I say it was also a nice thing that I've read those books? It was to satisfy my curiosity, too. And now, I already have Louis here to satisfy that curiosity.

I wanted to try to be on top. Louis was patient in guiding me, too. We were both already naked on the sofa. I got a hold of his cock and touched him there to make him even more hard. And I liked his reaction to what I was doing to him. Nabasa ko na rin ito. Bumaba ako sa sofa at lumuhod doon. Bumangon naman si Louis at humarap sa aking nakaluhod na sa paanan niya. Sumandal siya sa backrest ng sofa. Sandali ko pang ginalaw ang kamay ko sa kahabaan niya before I lowered down my head and started licking the head of his dick. He moaned. Nag-angat ako ng tingin sa mukha niya para makita ang reaksyon niya habang dinidilaan ko siya. He looked at me, too. His eyes were burning with lust.

I slowly put his shaft inside my mouth. "No teeth, please..." paalala pa ni Louis kaya inayos ko ang ginagawa at pinagbutihan. If I want this to last, I should do better. Better than the women he's been with. Because to be honest, ayaw ko pang matapos ito agad...

After giving him a blow kinuha na rin niya ako at pinatong sa kaniya. He guided me with his cock. Nakakapit ako sa balikat niya as he guided my hips to go down... We both moaned in pleasure when we became one through our most private parts. I was so wet that it just slid smoothly. But because he's really big too I felt as if he was stretching my vagina that it still hurt a bit. Pero kaya naman na, mas kaya ngayon kaysa noong una. Masasanay rin ako sa laki niya.

I started moving my body up and down his blessed length. Napapaarko ang likod ko at napapaliyad ako sa nangyayari sa katawan ko. Inabot pa ni Louis ang dibdib ko para mahalikan at bahagyang makagat ang nipples ko. I think he already loves my breasts. Hindi niya pinapabayaan, e. And then we found each other's lips again, we kissed deeper.

"Ah, Louis..." I moaned.

He groaned and held my hips at sinalubong na rin niya ako. Hanggang sa hindi ko na nakayanan and I came while he still continued moving our bodies until he came, too, in his condom. Pareho kaming bagsak pagkatapos.

We ate the food we bought after. Umaga na rin. Nagkuwentuhan pa kami ni Louis ng kung ano-ano lang. We also watched whatever show was on his big flat screen TV para matunawan din sa kinain. Tapos nakatulog na rin kami sa pagod at antok. When we woke up at around noon, kumain muli kami ng lunch na ako na ang nagluto. And Louis liked my cooking. Tapos nag-sex pa ulit kami bago ako naghanda na para sa pagpasok na naman sa trabaho. Si Louis naman, siya naman ang boss kaya ewan ko rin kung paano niya mina-manage ang time niya sa trabaho. He told me too that I have nothing to worry about him or his work because he can handle. I just kissed him goodbye before we parted for my shift.
