Hindi pa rin mawala sa isipan ko ang sinabi ni Therese sa akin nang magkita kami sa parking lot. Hindi ko mawari kung ano ba ang ibig niyang sabihin na nagbago si Cloud. That he was not the same Cloud I knew and he was just going to hurt me.

Kunot ang noo ko habang nakatitig sa laptop screen ngunit wala roon ang atensyon ko. I kept on thinking about what she said and what it meant...

Kagabi ko pa iniisip iyon hanggang sa makauwi ako. Hindi rin kami nagkausap ni Cloud dahil na rin may pinuntahan itong event kagabi at late na rin natapos kaya hindi na ito nagpunta sa bahay namin. Hindi rin ako nito nasundo kanina dahil maaga pa lang ay pumunta na ito sa office ng Daddy nito.

Wala namang kaso ang mga bagay na iyon dahil alam ko naman na may ibang ginagawa si Cloud and I can't demand him to be with me all the time. Hindi naman din tama ang bagay na iyon at hindi rin iyon makakabuti sa aming dalawa.

What bothers me is what Therese said.

I sighed heavily and leaned on my swivel chair. Pilit kong ikinakalma ang sarili habang iniisip kung dapat ko ba talagang pakinggan ang babae o wala namang basis ang sinasabi nito sa akin...

Though she's Cloud's friend... I bet she's the only person he talked to regarding what happened to both of us... ito lang ang napagsabihan nito ng ganoong bagay...

Possible kaya na may sinabi si Cloud sa babae na hindi nito sinabi sa akin? Kung mayroon, ano naman kaya 'yon? And what made her think that I should be careful?

"Ugh," I bowed my head and heaved a deep sigh. I am just making myself worry about the things that I am not sure of! Maybe, I should talk to Cloud instead of thinking what that woman told me.

Cloud won't lie to me...

Napalingon ako sa pinto nang may kumatok doon at sumungaw ang sekretarya ni Daddy.

"Good morning, Ms. Ashanti. May bisita po kayo. Kaibigan niyo raw po," sabi nito sa akin na ikinakunot ko ng noo. Dalawa lang naman ang kaibigan ko at imposibleng dumalaw sa akin ang mga iyon dahil nagkikita naman kami linggo-linggo.

"Kaibigan?" I asked her and she nodded her head. "He said he's friends with you and Sir Cloud," she added and that didn't help me have any clue who the visitor was.

"Sige, just let him in," sabi ko na lang sa babae. Mabuti na rin sigurong tumanggap muna ng bisita ngayon nang sa gayon ay mawala rin sa isipan ko ang sinabi ni Therese. Her words kept on repeating in my mind and it's starting to irritate me, big time!

Inaayos ko ang lamesa ko nang muling bumukas ang pinto ng opisina ko at nang mag-angat ako ng tingin, nakangiting mukha ni Benjamin ang bumungad sa akin.

"Hi!" He greeted me cheerfully as ever. Sa mga araw na inilagi namin ni Cloud sa probinsya noon, hindi ko yata nakitang sumimangot man lang ang lalaking ito. He's always smiling and he's always cheerful.

"Benjamin? What are you doing here?" napangiti ako at tumayo para lapitan ang lalaki. "I didn't know you'll be here," dagdag ko matapos makipagbeso rito. Pinaupo ko na rin muna ito at inalok kung gusto ng kape o hindi naman ay juice.

"I am good, Ash. Don't bother," he smiled and looked around. "Your office looks good," he commented and I smiled at him. "I was supposed to meet Cloud but they said he's not here, so I just went here to drop by."
