Exactly 14:00, "Come in. Take a seat."
The phone rang.
There were exchanged of words.
There was writing along with it.
A sudden halt impeded his hearing but
He can saw through it.
An unusual expression appeared on the lady's face.
Exactly 14:30, "Are you okay?"
Fake reassuring.
How can someone be alright right away after being slaughtered to skin, blood and bones?!
He cannot even swore at them.
He was speechless.
He felt the aftermath after he had reached a safe place.
His tears suddenly fell, "Why am I crying? I thought I am already stronger."
"Chate, you do not have to do anything to prove us your worth. We trust you."
"How can I make out of this? I am in a mess..."
"They have turned to you at such condition but this storm shall pass. Wait for it. It will come soon and much beautiful. Perhaps this city has enough of you... It is painful but sometimes life works that way."
His body shook, "Am I able to start again?"
"You have the opportunities. Take a look around you. Search it and you will find it. Remember we trust you."
Their words offered genuine comfort to him.
"I wish I have somebody to physically hug me right now even how broken I am."
