One shot story
“So it’s a deal."
It was the phrase that started it all. I was a former entertainer when I met him once night at a club. He came to and asked me if I could be his slave but I declined. Someone already offered me then but persistency was written all over his face when he said he’ll double or even triple his payment for me. Because of this better offer, I finally gave in and accepted it for 35 million pesos.
Within our three month contract,we only stayed at his condo unit. We did whatever he wanted. At first, it never came into my mind that I will fall for him but because of those sweet gestures and loving words,I felt those with full of love. The time came when the three month deal ended. I woke up in our bed finding myself alone. I regret the the times when I didn't ask him anything about his personal life. I’ve even searched for him but what can I do if the only thing I knew about was the name.
Then one day, I got a phone call, an unregistered number . I immediately picked it hoping that it’s him but I got more shocked and composed when the one who spoke to the other line was his mother, my knees almost melt down from the news there I heard.
“ Please come here! My son wants to see you Kyla! We are at St.Joseph’s Medical Hospital.”
When I got there, they explained to me everything. He was now suffering from leukemia,stage 3. They also said theta the deal was not an accident. It was really planned by him. He wanted to be with me rather than to use the money for his medication. I felt the guilt when I remembered the times that I neglected every bruises that I always saw on him. I burst into tears because of the many wrong things I’ve done. I realized, maybe this is now my karma. He didn't survive on it and he leave me together with our baby. I have miscarriage because of the depression and the longing I feel for him. But I didn't regret anything that happen into my life because he was the reason why I am with him now.
“Sister Kyla, Father Christopher is looking for you!”
“Okay,Sister Loriene! I’m coming now.”
The end.
