Sad Sally

Sad Sally

You know in every establishments, either old or newly built, there’s always this certain entity that roams and resides with it. One who is seen often that it was given a name by the people who share the place with it. Ours goes by the name Sally, but… she’s not the kind who’s jolly, she’s sad.

This is a personal story of mine just way back 2015. It was my first real job, nahire ako as a call center agent and ang aming training facility ay nasa Ortigas, that building is certainly for training. I wouldn’t dare to disclose the name of the building para naman di matakot yung mga kasalukuyang trainees na andun. At para naman di malagasan ng mga future agents yung company haha pero kung nanonood kayo ng Hunter X Hunter, yung bida dun, walong yun, yun yung clue. Lol

Going back, it was my first time sa ganoong environment, even though trainees pa lang kmi eh we also have to train for the graveyard shift since most probably un ang magiging sched namin in the future. The building isn’t that quite old to start with but it has stories of its own to share. My 6th sense is very active, aware ako dito, and sanay akong solohin to, yung ako lang ang nakakaranas, not the people around me. But going in that place meeting “Sally” was very different, it’s not just me na pinaparamdaman nya, sa buong wave namin sya nagpaparamdam. Our mentors are aware of her too, sila nga nagsabi samin sa name ni Sally eh. One time we were having a class past midnight, kami nalang ang klase that time. Habang nagtuturo ang mentor namin, patay ang ilaw at projector nalang ang nakabukas, kita mo ung desktop sa board. The mentor’s station ay nasa corner ng room and ang mentor ay nasa gitna nag eexplain. All of a sudden gumalaw yung mouse sa screen. Our gay mentor was so scared (He/she is a scaredy cat to begin with) ended the class too early and declared an early break. Naghanap kami ng mga possibleng nangyari like baka nagslide ung mouse kaya nagalaw but no, hindi lang kasi isang beses nangyari but multiple times.

I tried to keep it to myself but I can clearly see a child playing on the mouse, as much as possible I don’t want them to know that I can see them to avoid being disturbed. Ung batang naglalaro sa mouse ay akala nilang si Sally, pero tingin ko hndi un ung Sally na sinasabi nla, stray lng un.

One evening napaaga ako ng dating sa building, so nakalock pa yung room, i stayed on the floor instead and decided to tidy up in the bathroom, usually nasa end of the hall ang mga comfort rooms, after ko magayos ayos pag labas ko eh sa sulok may nakatayong dalaga, mga 16-20 sya, mahaba ang buhok, nakaharap sya sa corner, nakaputi na dress, gulo-gulo ang buhok. She was crying. As I’m used to this I simply ignored her and acted like nothing happened, what I did not expect is what happened next. As I was walking away from her, her weeping bacame louder, as i stepped farther it seem to become closer and closer, then I noticed na nsa kisame na pla sya. Standing upsidedown on top of me.

I knew this because her hair was dangling on my head, i stayed still and just looked up with only my eyes, she was staring at me too. This never happened before… deep inside takot na takot na ko but I knew what to do. I closed my eyes and asked her politely to stay away.

I stayed still for a few seconds and started walking still with my eyes closed. Then may nabangga ako... gladly it was one of my wavemates, my heart was rushing, i didn’t even dare to look back.

Hindi lang ito ung mga naencounter ko sa building na yun, yung matandang babae sa elevator, ung lolong naninigarilyo sa basement and ung batang naglalaro. Of course, Sally. I wonder why she is sad though, but then again, who am I to judge?
