Chapter 16

“ Urgh!” Napasinghal at Napahampas ako sa bedside table nang magising ako.

Ginulo ko ang buhok ko at tinignan ang katabi ko. Tulog na tulog.

Nakatingin ako ngayon sa vanity mirror sa harap ko. Tulad ng mga nakaraang gabi ay patuloy ko parin na ginagawa ang ganitong linya ng trabaho. Why did I stay? Simple lang naman ang sagot. I don’t want to go back to the world that hurt me a lot. The Red Light District is pretty much the same. But I saw real people here. Each person has a story. That’s probably why I stayed beside Heather who constantly helped me in tough times.

Siren is a Rank name. I earned that Rank for being the client’s favorite. I wasn’t Siren a few years ago. But every time I come up on stage, they are bidding for my service.. Sa pagkakataong iyon, nakakalimutan kong ako si Nemesis. Nemesis who is a plain woman, disrespected, downgraded, discriminated and was always falsely accused.

" Goodmorning Siren" bati sakin ni Mr. Windsor na pumupungas pungas pa.

Binalingan ko sya.
