Yes, it's sad to belong to someone else, When the right one comes along...

Maddys soul was out of her body as she stare at her face from the mirror on the ceiling.

She's like a log while Marco is on top of her. He continuously thrust on her roughly, he's always like that. Rough sex makes him feel alive, dominant, rough moves make him feel he's a real man. And she was just a slave, He gets satisfy until he saw her tearing apart, literally.

She saw her bruises all over her body and face. Her tears dried out. Wala na syang luha. Sobrang manhid na niya.

Marco continue to sodomized her. Or should she say, rape her.

Then she felt Marco pull himself out of her. The man held her hair forcing her face on him. 

"Isubo mo." He said.

She never make a move, she doesn't even looking at him. She's like a corpse.

Then she felt Marcos palm on her cheek. She knew he slapped her, but she couldn't feel the pain anymore. Naramdaman niya ang pag agos ng dugo sa kanyang ilong as she pass out. Bago siya nawalan ng ulirat she heard Marco, moaning and cumming out on her face.

As she woke up it was 7pm. She knew Marco was gone. She saw a bouquet of flowers on her center table as she walk,  she felt so weak as she haven't ate anything for days. 

Ni hindi man lang niya tinignan ang card na naka lagay da bulaklak. She held the flowers and trash them.

It was from Marco. He was a psycho, after treating her like a dog for days he'll send him flowers to say bullshit.

She treat herself with a warm bath. She knew she can't go outside with the bruises she had. Her evil man will be back after a few months, and she'll taste a few moments of freedom. After a long warm bath she started treating her bruises. She kept asking herself bakit hindi na lang siya magpakamatay, but for some reason hindi niya iyon magawa.

"Maybe life has something good to offer. Who knows..."

Nalaglag ang panga ni Zed nang makita ang papalapit sa counter  ng bar. 

Maddy was wearing a black dress, she has a fresh look with the wavy hair she got. And she endure her sweet scent as it travel in the whole bar going to her lungs.

She's in slow motion as she do the cat walk and lock her eyes on her.

Maddy took a sit at the counter bar and reach for her chin. "Sara mo yan baka pasukan ng langaw."

Napangiti si Zed, "Wow you're here. Ahm..." pinasadahan niya ito ng tingin. "You got skinnier and a bit.. pale."

"Can you feed me?"

"Yeah, sure." Tinawag niya ang isang crew at nagpa sub bilang bar tender. She then gets out of the bar counter and grab her hand. "I'll serve you good food." She said.

Pumasok sila sa kitchen at lumabas sa back door, from there she saw a table under a mango tree that has many light bulbs on it.

"Your majesty." Zed as she pull out a chair for her.

"Thank you."

"One moment."

Saglit na nawala si Zed sa harap niya. She took out her phone and capture the mango tree. "It was cute." bulong niya.

Then Zed came out again from the back door pushing a cart of food.

"I didn't order that much." Reklamo niya.

"I don't need your opinion. This meal is for two, hindi pa ako kumakain." Zed replied as she put on the plate in fort of her.

Zed never seated in front of her, she sat beside her and same old thing she did fixing her meal for her. Isusubo nalang niya. 

"Tell me Zed, ganyan ka ba ka sweet sa lahat ng babae mo."

"Hoy, wala akong babae."

"Talaga ba?"

"Itanong mo pa sakanila." turo niya sa screen door.

From there nakita niya ang tatlong crew na naka silip sakanila na bigla nalang nagsi alisan.

"Mga chismosa." bulyaw ni Zed. She can hear the three crew giggling. "Papakilala kita sakanila mamaya mababait mga yon, kumain ka na."

Then she started to eat. Zed never ask her a question or interrupted her and let her finished her plate.

"You've been busy I guess?" Zed started. After the sumptuous dinner there were bottles of beer on their table.

"Yeah." Tipid na sabi niya.

"I see, so after this you'll be gone again for a couple of months I guess."

"Parang ganon, but I'm not busy this couple of months so you'll see me here. What are you up to for the last 4 months?"

"Nothing new, I was just here. Cooking and mixing cocktails."

"Di ka dumila ng ibang pepe?" naka tikwas ang kilay na tanong ni Maddy.

Nabuga ni Zed and beer na iniinom. "How can you be so vulgar Maddy?" natatawang sabi nito habang tumingin kung may ibang tao ba sa paligid.

"Nagtatanong lang ako Jollibee." she rolled her eyes. "By the way can I sleep in your house tonight?

Zed gave her a playful look.

"We're not having sex Zed." kumpirma niya.

"Sure." Zed gave he a wink.

That night she borrow Zeds jammies its a bit large but Zed find her cute. "Why don't you wear those jammies all day?"

"Why don't you fuck yourself Zed?"

She laugh. "Cute naman ah." Zed turn off the light at humiga sa couch. "I'll sleep here, D'yan ka sa kama."

But Maddy lie down beside her. "No, want to sleep here." she said, she kissed her neck and bury her face on her.

"Why are you that clingy." tanong ni Zed.

"I just need this, and I missed you." Maddy said.

That night Maddy hugged her so tight until she fell asleep. From there she knew she found cure and peace in her. And indeed Maddy had a great sleep.
