BEA.
Nakasunod ako ngayon sa convoy ng sasakyan nila Gob. Anton. They allowed me to use my motorbike going to this birthday party.
Naka red alert na ang buong tropa dahil magkasama ngayon ang mag asawa.
Kumbaga, double package ang binabantayan namin. We cannot allow any untoward incidents to happen with the governor and his wife.
Hindi naman masyadong halata na kasama ako sa grupo nila Gob. I am following with the right distance lang. Lahat ay vigilant, lalo na ako, sa mga sasakyan na nasa paligid. We are all wearing two-way radio headsets and microphones para madali ang communication between us.
Time flies, I've been working for the Villarama's for a week now. Hindi ko akalain na mag eenjoy ako ng husto dito. Kahit sila Ponggay and friends ay nagtataka na sa akin dahil hindi na sila nakarinig ng reklamo from me.
Kaya pati yung incident sa birthday party ko, natabunan na. They didn't bring my ex up again, which is good. Sobrang busy at focus ako sa trabaho ko ngayon.
Hindi ko alam kung matutuwa o malulungkot ako sa mga nangyayari sa Villarama household. I learned a lot about them especially Gob. Anton.
Akalain mo yun, he's playing with fire. Kahit naman hindi ko mismo nakikita ang ginagawa nila ni Ma'am Ali inside his room, I already have an idea.
Of course, I want to do my main job and that is to protect the governor. So it is better for me to just shut my mouth to avoid problems at work.
His personal life does not matter to me. Gawin niya ang gusto niyang gawin. Wala akong karapatan manghusga sa kanya. Kung may tao mang dapat, ito ay ang asawa niya.
Kaso, naaawa talaga ako kay boss Jema. Does she know about it? Siguro naman may idea siya kahit papano. Kasi imposibleng wala siyang alam.
Di ba malakas ang radar ng mga babae sa ganyan?
Anyway, nandito na kami sa bahay ni Governor Escudero. I was also allowed to enter the party venue as part of Gob. Anton's entourage. My task is to watch him and the missus, secretly.
Para hindi masyadong halata na part of security nila ako, nagbihis ako ng pang party. Yup, naka fitted black pants ako with matching white blouse. Formal black jacket and black shoes.
When we were inside, nagpahuli lang ako ng konti sa mag asawa. I can see them smiling at panay ang kaway ni Gob sa mga taong nandoon.
Heads and eyes spontaneously turned to them. You can feel their admiration to the couple.
Sino ba naman ang hindi?
Sobrang guapo at tikas ni Gob sa suot niyang gray suit with matching earring. His presence will definitely make you look in awe. Some women are totally gaga about him.
Hindi nagpatalo si boss Jema with her red dress na bumagay sa malasutla niyang balat.
Halos lumuwa nga ang mata ko kanina nung nakita ko siya. I wanted to tell her that she looks lovely but of course hindi ako nakalapit sa kanya.
Naalala ko yung nangyari sa loob ng dressing room kahapon.
That was super unexpected. I don't know if she did that on purpose. Sabagay, wala na kasi si Jia, sino nga naman ang magbababa sa zipper ng kanyang damit kundi ako.
Nanginginig pa ang kamay ko dahil sa sobrang tense ng sitwasyon kahapon. I touched her skin and it felt surreal.
Sobrang strange talaga and difficult to explain yung naramdaman ko sa pagdantay ng aking palad sa balat niya. Buti na lang at hindi niya nahalata ang malalim na hininga ko.
I looked at boss Jema, she's holding Gob. Anton's arm now. Then I have a glimpsed of Ma'am Ali near the bar. She's here too.
May kausap siyang lalake pero halatang bagot na ito sa pakikinig dito. Nakasimangot na siya while sipping her drink. When she saw the governor, she smiled instantly. Nawala naman agad ito pagkakita niya kay boss Jema.
That was fascinating and entertaining to watch, huh.
After a while, Ma'am Ali grabbed the man's hand and approached Gob. Anton and boss Jema.

JESSICA
We arrived just in time. I saw the mansion of the Escudero's, it is huge lalo na sa loob. Women are all dressed up. Same with men, lahat halos ay naka suit and tie.
Hindi naman masyadong out of place ang suot ko. Anton complimented it but not as much. Tinignan niya lang ito tapos wala na. He is more concerned sa isusuot at hitsura niya.
Masyado kasi siyang aligaga sa okasyon, hindi naman siya ang may birthday.
The main event is not starting yet so guests are just going around and chatting. I am consciously aware that people are looking at us. Then I saw Ali, Anton's publicist and a man approaching us.
"Hi, there!" bati ni Ali na nakakunyapit sa braso ng kasama niya.
Ali is wearing a short tight black dress revealing her cleavage. She shows too much skin for my liking.
"Hi Ali, good to see you here." sabi ni Anton na nakahawak sa kamay ko na nasa braso niya.
Ohhhh, chance meeting lang pala ng dalawa.
"Good evening Gob. Hello Madam Gob." she replied while smiling and at the same time, looking at me.
May dumi ba ako sa mukha? I smiled at her.
"This is governor Albert Garcia, my friend." pagpapakilala niya sa kasama.
"I know. Good evening Albert, kumusta ka na? Long time no see ah." sabi ni Anton na naglahad ng kamay pero kay Ali naman ito nakatingin.
"Good evening likewise Gob. Villarama at sa iyong napakagandang kabiyak na puso. I'm fine, as you can see." he replied as they shook hands.
"Napaka bolero mo pa rin panyero, walang kupas." Anton said.
At yun na nga, nag usap na ang dalawa. Tinatanong niya si Anton about sa assassination attempt. Siempre nagbida na agad ang asawa ko.
Ali just shrugged her shoulders when I looked at her. Siya naman kasi ang may ideya ng lahat, na palabasing natamaan ng bala si Anton.
"You look great Ali. How are you? Is he your someone special?" I asked just to break the silence.
"Oh no, gaya ng sinabi ko kanina, he is my friend. Ang ganda ganda din po ninyo Madam Gob. kaso mas maganda sana kung gray din ang suot ninyo para terno kay Gob. Anton." Ali said habang nakahawak pa sa braso ko.
The fuck. Stylist na rin ba siya?
"Ooh this? Anton loves it. Di ba babe?" I asked my husband just to get his attention.
"Yes babe. Ahhmm, Ali, I have something to ask you about the upcoming debate. Can I have a minute?" Anton asked her.
Nasa party kami pero work pa rin ang nasa isip ni Anton.
Talaga naman.
"Of course governor. You can always ask anything basta about work." malambing na sagot ni Ali sa request ni Anton.
"Excuse us babe, saglit lang ito." Anton whispered to me before going to the side with her publicist.
He didn't even wait for my reply. Minsan, ang sarap ding batukan nitong asawa ko.
Hinanap agad ng mga mata ko kung nasaan si Bea. Yes, I am wholly aware of her presence.
I found her looking at me. Nagkatitigan kami sandali. She signaled that she will follow Anton. Tumango ako sa kanya.
Naiwan kaming dalawa nitong kasama ni Ali. Haist. I'm starting to regret attending this party.
What's his name na nga? Al. Albert.
"How are you? Enjoying the night so far Madam Jessica?" tanong niya.
"Not bad considering my husband left me with his publicist hahaha. Please call me Jema. Sorry but I didn't catch what province you are from." I replied.
Ngumiti ito.
"From Bataan." sagot niya.
"I see." sabi ko.
As if that's a cue, hindi na siya tumigil sa kaki-kwento about his province. Napilitan na lang akong makinig, just nodding my head. Akala yata niya botante ako na hinihikayat niyang iboto siya.
Napansin yata niya ang matitipid na sagot ko. When he saw someone he knew, nag excuse na siya sa akin. Mabuti naman at nakawala ako sa kanya. Wala pa rin si Bea so I decided to go to the restroom para mag retouch.
When I went back to where I was, ibang tao na ang nandoon. Lumingon lingon ako hoping to see Anton or Bea man lang but I cannot find them. Madami na rin ang tao kaya halos puno na ang venue. Mahihirapan akong hanapin sila.
Nasaan na kaya ang mga iyon?
Umiwas ako sa crowd kaya lumabas muna ako. Malawak ang garden nila. May mga ilaw din sa bawat lamesa na nasa labas. Naglakad lakad ako sa may bandang likod ng bahay.
Sa sobrang laki nga ng bahay parang nasa hotel ka na. Pumasok ako sa may gilid. There are many rooms on this side of the house.
Siguro offices yung iba then bedrooms na. Medyo madilim dito at tahimik, hindi masyadong dinig ang music galing sa party.
Patalikod na sana ako when I noticed someone. May taong nakatayo sa may bandang hulihan ng hallway. My curiosity got me. I investigate.
Is that Bea? What is she doing outside the door? Ahhh nasa loob siguro si Anton. Mabuti pala at nagawi ako dito. I walked towards her. At first, hindi niya yata ako nakilala pero nung malapit na ako ay para siyang nakakita ng multo.
"Boss Jema!!!?" she nervously said.
"Yes, it's just me. Why so jumpy?" I asked.
"Ahmmm ano po ang ginagawa nyo dito?" tanong din niya.
"I'm looking for you and Anton. Andito lang pala kayo. Is he inside?" I asked.
"Y-yes boss Jema. H-he is busy right now po." parang hindi mapakaling sagot niya.
"Busy? Doing what?" inis na tanong ko.
"W-work." utal na sagot ni Bea.
"Hindi kami nagpunta dito para magtrabaho siya. Sana pala hindi niya na ako isinama. Papasukin mo ako." I said.
"Sssshhh. Di po pwede boss." she replied.
Ano kayang problema nito at ayaw akong papasukin? Parang kinutuban ako ng masama ng maalala na kasama ni Anton si Ali kanina.
May nangyari kayang masama kay Anton?
I pushed Bea to the side pero hindi man lang ito natinag. I used both of my hands but she just hold it with her right hand.
Ang lakas naman niya.
"Let me in." sabi ko habang nakatitig sa kanya.
"No, boss." sagot niya na parang nalilito.
Bigla naman kaming nakarinig ng parang halinghing sa loob ng kuarto. Nanlaki ang mata ni Bea. OMG, something bad is happening with Anton, malakas ang kutob ko.
Dahil distracted din si Bea sa ingay na narinig namin, her hold on my hands loosened. I managed to get away from her. Tinabig ko siya sabay tulak ng pinto.
Bumulaga sa akin si Anton. Nakabukaka sa pagkakaupo. His pants is on his knees. Nakaluhod naman sa harap niya ang isang babae na nakasuot ng itim na damit. Ang ulo at mukha nito ay nasa pagitan ng mga hita ng asawa ko. Anton is holding her hair as his head is tilted on the side.
I am not a child not to know what the woman, who is obviously Ali, is doing to him.
Sarap na sarap si Anton sa ginagawa ng babae sa kanya kaya hindi niya namalayan ang pagbukas ng pinto.
Doon na tumulo ang mga luha sa mata ko.
"Why, Anton?" I asked, enough for them to hear me.
======================================================================
What's wrong with Gob Anton? He loves Jema but why does he cheat? Ang sarap anuhin noh. Hahaha.
