Not Until Then

PITO

"S-Sandro?" namutla ako ng makita siyang nakatayo sa may bintana, holding a glass and wearing nothing but a white linen pajama.

"Walang iba." Mayabang nitong sabi. I tried pulling on my leather cuffs but it was no use.

"Let me go!! Ano ba!" Sandro's laugh echoed in the room. Umupo ito sa tabi ko and touched my cheeks, I jerked away.

"Pakawalan mo ako Sandro, ah!" I shouted when Sandro pulled the sheets and revealed my naked body.

"Goodness baby, your body didn't even changed eventhough we already had our own little Sandro." He said. Nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi niya. The fact that I was naked slipped on my mind with what he said.

"Anong sinabi mo?" I gawked at him. He smiled before kissing me on the lips. He untied my hands at ako na ang nagkalag sa mga cuffs na nasa paa ko. Sandro gave me his shirt and smiled.

"Y-you, you know about him?"

"Who? Stanley Philip?" ngumisi ito when my jaw dropped. Lumapit ito and closed my mouth.

"Why? What came into your beautiful mind that you dared to keep my son away from me?" his voice was harsh and an instant, he changed. Gone is the playful Sandro a while ago. He was now emanating anger.

"Nasaan siya?" hindi ko pinansin ang sinabi nito. He stood straight and his eyebrows shot up. Ngumisi ito.

"I am a businessman baby. And I always make sure that if I want something, I will get it. Whatever means I should do. I will have it, you know that right?" he said as his hands started wandering on my body. Pumiksi ako at lumayo. Sandro's face hardened.

"Nasaan si Stanley?!"

"If you want to see our son, then, you have to agree on my terms Phoebe." Mapanganib na nitong sabi. Napalunok ako. I know Sandro. At alam ko na kung ano ang kasunod nito.

"Sandro--"

"I want you, to let me prove myself again to you Phoebe." Natanga ako sa sinabi niya. That is not what I was expecting for him to say. And what does he mean by that?

"I don't get you.." bulong ko na. Sandro pulled me and hugged me tight.

"I want you be my wife again Phoebe. Please--"

"NO!" tinulak ko siya. Lumayo agad ako. I knew it! He would use me again! He would use me to get Natalia. Totoo nga ang sabi niya, he gets what he wants at kahit na ano gagawin niya makuha lamang ang gusto niya. Kahit manggamit pa siya at masaktan ako, gagawin niya makuha lang niya ang gusto niya. My tears started flowing with the realization.
