As I walked back to my condo, I replayed everything she had done over the past three weeks-her avoidance, her rejections.

It was nothing but pain, pain that I need to stop because it's becoming too much for me to bear.

I even began questioning myself, wondering what I did wrong, why I had to be dragged into this too.

Do I deserve this? Is it because they're my family?

Tears streamed down my face as I remembered everything. It's too late now, and after this, I'll forget you, along with all the memories we shared.

Mikhyle.

Naka ngiti akong nag lalakad ngayon papunta sa office ni Mikhyle, bitbit yung niluto kong carbonara. It's not perfect because I'm not really great at cooking, but I poured so much effort and love into it.

'I just hope you can feel that, even if it's not the best.

At alam kong kakainin nya to, kahit na ano pang lasa. Because I know her kahit na hindi masarap basta luto ko.

"Goodmorning, Ms. Ayiah bawal po kayo dito sa office. Request po ni Ma'am Lim.", Kunot noo ko namang tinitigan lang si kuya guard.

"Huh anong bawal?", Tanong ko pero umiling lang sya tsaka iniharang yung kamay nya sa harapan ko para hindi ako makapasok. Th?!

"Pasensya na Ma'am, hindi po talaga kayo pwede sa loob." Sabi nya pa nung nag pipilit akong pumasok.

"Ibibigay ko lang tong pagkain nya kuya.", pag mamakaawa ko. Malapit na kong umiyak pero napigilan ko pa naman nung ilingan ako ni kuya.

"Hindi po talaga pwede -"

"What are you doing here?", Hindi natapos ni kuya ang sasabihin nya nung biglang sumulpot si Mikhyle kung saan. Direkta at malamig na tingin nya sakin.

"Uhmm...", Nangangapang sabi ko. Nag baba naman ako ng tingin nung bigla nya kong taasan ng kilay. "Ibibigay ko sana tong pag-"

"You're not being paid here to neglect your work. You're here to do your job, so act like it!", gulat akong nag angat ng tingin nung sumigaw sya. Pinapagalitan nya yung guard. "Hindi ba sinabi ko sainyo na kung kinakailangan na saraduhan nyo sya ng pinto gawin nyo!-"

"Hey, babe, what's going on here? Is everything okay?", Hindi natapos ni Mikhyle ang panenermon nya sa Guard, nung biglang may humaplos sa braso nya na kung sino.

'B-babe?'

Isang Mestisang babae, na naka suot ng formal dress at b-blazer ni Khyle. .

"Nothing, it's just misunderstanding," Mikhyle said to the woman, her voice calm and deep, trying to ease the tension.

Woaaahhhhh..

Halos madurog ang puso ko nung makita ko kung paano bumababa ang mga kamay ni Mikhyle sa waist ng babae, at marahan na hinimas himas yon.

"Ohh, alright," she said with a smile, then turned her gaze toward me. "And hi, who is she, babe?" she asked Mikhyle in a sweet voice.

"Ayiah," Mikhyle replied coldly, causing the woman to flinch.

"And what do you need?!" Her voice was so loud it almost deafened me. She stared directly into my eyes, making me feel instantly uncomfortable. "Anyway, I'm Aven. Mikhyle's girlfriend."

The weight of her last words hit me hard, and tears began to fall from my eyes before I could stop them.

Para akong na estatwa, hindi makagalaw, ni hindi makapag salita.
