Closure (Completed)

Chapter Seven

Vielle sipped her coffee and looked at the contract in her hand. She read again but her mind is still stuck yesterday. She sipped her coffee again and read.

Maybe he has someone else. Better than me. Vielle talked to herself. No. He wouldn't propose to me if he has someone else.

She sipped her coffee but it was empty. She read the contract again like it has the answers to her problems.

O baka naman may nabuntis siyang iba tapos namatay yung babae at kailangan nung bata ng ina. Is that the reason? Ghad. That is so fucked up. Kawawa yung bata!

"Dear Lord. Naway ibalik niyo ang kaluluwa ni Vielle nang mapirmahan na niya ang kontrata. Nagmamahal na dyosa, Elise." Elise said out loud in front of her friend. Kanina pa niya ito napapansin na parang tulala. Nilapitan na niya ito nang mapansing sinisimsim parin nito ang walang lamang tasa.

Vielle looked up at her friend. She asked her what but Elise just rolled her eyes.

"The contract. Pirmahan mo na. Yan naman gusto mo di ba?" Then Elise acted like a fairy godmother with matching british accent. "Dear, you must sign the contract. Isn't that what you wanted? To be far far away from your prince charming."

"Sira." Vielle said. And closed the folder.

"Ako pa talaga itong sira. Baka ikaw. Kanina ka pa lutang diyan. Wala nang laman yung tasa, inom ka pa rin nang inom. Kung tao lang yang tasa, kinasuhan ka na ng sexual harrasment."

Vielle sighed. She really don't know what to do. Nakipag-usap naman na siya kay Warren na tigilan na siya nito pero bakit ganun. Parang may mali.

She looked at the contract. It's a renewed one and her boss assigned her to L.A. to be the head director of the branch of the company she's working there. It was the biggest oppurtunity ever given to her since she started working there. Big oppurtunity to move on. To get away from the man who she thinks will break her heart again. But something inside is stopping her. Hindi niya alam kung ano ito.

"I don't know what to do Elise. I didn't give him another chance because he didn't told me the truth. Alam mo naman na may mga issue ako sa mga taong naglilihim sa akin." Vielle said to her friend, hands on her head.

"I know but don't you think na kaya niya hindi sinabi sayo kasi natatakot siya?"

"Natatakot saan, Elise? Sa tagal nang pinagsamahan namin he was never scared of me."

"Vielle. Ikaw nga may kinatatakutan sa kanya na hindi mo masabi sa kanya, siya pa kaya?"

"I don't know Elise. I don't know what to do."

-

"Akin na lang si Pochy." Elise said while hugging the huge teddy bear that Warren gave to her years ago. "Sige na, Vielle."

"Hingin mo na lang sa kanya pag binigay ko na." Vielle answered and put the love letters to a brown box. Nililigpit niya ang lahat ng mga bagay na binigay sa kanya ni Warren. She wants to get rid of the memories, kahit na mahirap.

"Hindi niya ibibigay sa akin si Pochy." Elise pouted and carried the stuff toy like a baby even though its larger than her. "First baby niyo 'to di ba?"

Vielle smiled and remembered that Warren declared that she was pregnant and the baby was a huge teddy bear which he named Pochy. Ang cute daw kasi ng pangalan.

"Yeah."

"Surebells ka na ba talaga diyan?" Elise asked her friend. Gusto niyang pigilan ito. Alam niya kasing may valid reason si Warren kaya nagawa niya ang mga bagay na iyon. Hindi nga lang siya sigurado kung tama ang hinala niya.

"I need to move on Elise. Mukhang nauna na nga siyang magmove-on kesa sa kin eh. He didn't cared for me for a whole year, remember?"

"Hindi pa siya nakakamove-on, Vielle. Cause if he did, he wouldn't propose to you in a concert where there is a crowd watching the both of you." Elise convinced her again. Nilagay na niya si Pochy sa isang malaking box.

"Whatever. I don't know. Naguguluhan ako sa kanya." She admitted. Her mind is in chaos, so as her heart. "Ibabalik ko lang to lahat sa kanya. Pagbalik ko, mag-eempake na ako."

"Bahala ka." Elise answered but when she noticed the pendant Vielle was wearing, she smiled. "Basta pustahan tayo, magiging kayo ulit."

"Whatever Elise. Matatalo ka lang."

"Sus. Sa umpisa pa lang, ikaw na yung talo Vielle."
