Days had passed, at sa susunod na linggo, aalis na ako patungong South Korea. Ang branch namin ay nasa Seoul, kaya sobrang excited na ako. I reached out to Callen for tips kapag andun na ako.
Siya rin ang nagturo sa akin ng mga dapat kong gawin kapag nakita ko si Jay. Hindi ko alam kung saan niya kinukuha ang mga ideas niya, pero talagang hindi niya ako tinatantanan.
"Ry, dapat pag nakita mo si Jay, pretend cool ka lang ha! Para hindi ka masyadong obvious," sabi ni Callen, and I couldn't help but laugh at her antics.
Today marks my last day of work sa company. Nag-ayos na ako ng mga gamit ko kahapon, leaving only the necessary papers for the other staff. They bid their good lucks to me earlier, and their heartfelt wishes made me tear up.
"Good luck, Ry! Sana wag mo kaming kalimutan pag sikat ka na sa Korea!" sabi ni Angel, ang aking kaibigan na sobrang kulit pero mahal ko naman.
After that, I headed to the President's office para magpa-alam. He congratulated me once again at pinadala niya ang best wishes niya para sa assignment ko sa South Korea. Nang matapos ang pag-uusap namin, lumabas ako ng company, carrying my belongings.
Pero when I stepped toward the exit, biglang sumulpot si Zel, parang may hinihintay. My heart skipped a beat, and I felt a mix of emotions – shock, curiosity, and even a hint of anger.
"Glory, pwede ba tayo mag-usap ng maayos?" he asked, his voice tinged with earnestness.
I hesitated for a moment, pero pinagbigyan ko siya. Tutal aalis na rin naman ako ng bansa, and I thought it might be a chance for a proper closure between us.
"Tara," sagot ko sa kanya, my voice steady despite the turmoil inside me.
He looked at me, his expression a mix of relief and gratitude. We found a quiet spot where we could talk privately.
"Hindi ko sinasadyang masaktan ka, Glory," he started, his voice soft.
I sighed, feeling a bit exhausted from all the emotions. "Zel, let's not dwell on the past anymore. Whatever happened, it's done."
He nodded, his gaze sincere. "I just want you to know that I regret hurting you. I hope you find happiness in Korea."
I managed a small smile, appreciating his words even though they couldn't erase the pain completely. "Salamat, Zel. Sana maging maayos na rin ang lahat para sa atin."
He reached out and held my hand briefly before letting go. "Take care, Glory."
I watched him walk away, a mixture of feelings swirling within me. It wasn't a perfect ending, but at least, it was a step towards moving on.
I gathered my thoughts and emotions, taking a deep breath to steady myself. I watched as Zel walked away, and then I turned and walked towards my car. As I settled into the driver's seat, I felt a sense of closure wash over me.
It wasn't a grand goodbye, but it was enough for me to finally start letting go of the pain and heartache.
