"SALAMAT sa paghatid," ani Summer nang pinarada ni Genesis ang kaniyang sasakyan sa harap ng apartment ni Summer. Lumalalim na ang gabi at hindi lang sa trabaho pagod si Summer kundi sa extra curricular activities na piangkakaabalahan nila sa opisina.
May ilang trabaho siyang hindi natapos kaya plano niyang matulog nang maaga upang makapasok nang maaga.
"It's okay," tipid na usal ni Genesis.
"Next time, you don't have to wait for me. Mapagkamalan pa tayo nito," natatawang usal ni Summer at saka binuksan ang pinto ng sasakyan. "I'll see you in the morning."
Hindi na hinintay pa ni Summer na magsalita si Genesis at agad lumabas ng sasakyan. She thought she heard Genesis called her, but she didn't look back. Malamig at madilim na sa labas. At isa pa, masakit din ang katawan niya.
May kakaibang nararamdaman din siya sa sikmura niya. Parang may maling mangyayari.
Nagulat si Summer nang magbukas ang pinto ng apartment niya at lumabas ang assistant ng kaniyang landlord. Isang matandang Amerikana na laging nakasimangot at may galit sa mundo.
"Summer, you're back!" gulat nitong pagbati.
"Hello, ma'am. Is anything wrong?" pagtukoy nito sa walang babala na pagtuloy sa kaniyang apartment.
"Look, Summer, I told you the payments must be on time when you took the lease. I've been trying to contact you, but you're not picking up!" usal ng matandang babae.
"I-I'm sorry. I've just been busy with work. I just returned from Canada and—"
"I'm sorry, but we don't care about your excuses. We were very clear from the beginning. No pay, no rent, no lease. We got new people moving in later."
"T-that's too fast! That's illegal! It hasn't even been three days!"
"That's business, Summer. Beaides, it looks like you've scored an expensive beau. I don't think you'll be homeless tonight," aniya sabay turo sa direksiyon ng sasakyan ni Genesis na nakaparada pa rin sa labas.
Binalik ni Summer ang tingin sa kausap at umiling. "He's not my beau . . . "
"As I said, I don't care what he is to you. But we've got new renters paying twice the amount you're paying. In this cold winter day, they're offering us more," dagdag pa ng matanda at pinagkiskis pa ang mga kamay bilang pera. "Unless you're willing to pay us three times your current rent, I'm afraid we can't keep you here."
"That's illegal!" muling usal ni Summer. "We have a contract!"
"Well are you going to pay us three times your current rate or what?" mataray nitong usal. Hindi na iyong napawi sa mukha niya. And Summer was being pushed to the corner.
