it was saturday in the afternoon, i just left house to supposedly go to work but then i received an important call from someone so i rushed to her house.

"you called me?" i asked as soon as i walked through the door.

"i need you.." bungad sa akin ni sue.

"what happened?" i asked before sitting in the sofa.

"hirap na hirap na ako..." she cried before pulling me into a hug.

ako rin ang nahihirapan sa situation nya.

"did you go to the doctors yet?" i asked.

tinitigan nya lang ako bago umiling, i've been trying to convince her to go to a doctor but she was too scared.

"you need to do it, you can't keep locking yourself here sue." i sighed.

"i can, kung tutulungan mo ako." she said.

i looked at her with pity.

"no one's going to hurt you here...nandito ako." ani ko.

"i just can't okay? i'm fine having you as my company only.." pag ma-matigas nya.

"i'm sorry..." agad nyang binawi ang sinabi nya.

"i know you have so many problems, ayoko ng dumagdag pa sa isipin mo." she said.

i stood up before going near her and patting her head.

"i promised i would keep you, nag promise ako na i'll always be here.." i said.

she could just smile and cried at my shoulder.

hindi ko alam kung tama ba 'tong ginagawa ko o dapat bang sabihin ko na rin kay vice 'to.

"when do you plan on telling her?" she asked that caught me off guard.

"everything is not on place right now, i'll just wait for the right time." i sighed.

"you know that darating ang oras na kailangan mong sabihin right?" she said.

"i know.."

i stayed at sue's for a few more hours para alagaan at kamustahin ang lagay nya, pumayag na rin syang mag pakita sa doctor kaya nakaalis rin agad ako at bumalik na sa opisina.

as usual, it's a very stressing day at work.

i held a meeting between the employees and stock holders.

jhong is one of my stock holders of the company but i didn't say anything to him, ayokong malaman nya kung anong lagay ng kompanya ko, dahil alam kong hindi titigil yon hanggat sa malaman ng asawa ko.

i was face palming at my office re-thinking all of the decisions i've made.

i fucked up big time.

hindi ko alam bakit umabot sa ganito ang buhay ko.

nobody knows that i'm suffering.
