*** Hazel's ***
It's Love, I Guess
One thing that I knew I saw in her eyes... it's pain.
When she left us there, pinilit kong tanggalin ang kamay ni Gavin.
"Please don't do that again."
"Why? What did I do?" He asked me.
Umiling ako. "Nothing..." Sinubukan kong huwag mag-isip ng kung anu-ano.
"Sige na baka ma-late ka pa sa meeting niyo."
"Okay." He kissed me on my left cheek. "Sunduin nalang kita mamaya."
Pumasok agad ako sa office nung tuluyan na itong umalis. Napahilot ako ng sintido. I have been becoming harsh and vicious for the past couple of weeks.
This isn't exactly what I was trained for. I knew I was equipped to handle the stress and pressure at work. Mas malala pa dito ang naging trabaho ko sa New York.
I sighed deeply as I closed my eyes and let out all of my aggravation. Alam ko ang totoong problema.
Working here seems fine... but working with my ex isn't.
Even if I chose to ignore her presence, I always ended up approaching her at the end of the day.
Even if I knew that the past was already over, why does it feel like it still has power over me?
These are the things I never even imagined would happen. I thought I was fine, but seeing her again made me remember my decisions and how disappointed I was. The ugly side of it is that, despite all the pain and disappointment, I am still hopeful.
Carmela pricked my bubble of thoughts when she came in.
"Tumawag po si Mr. Rudolfo Collantes regarding sa meeting niyo."
Huminga ako ng malalim bago tumayo.
"Tell him that I'll be right there, I just need to use the restroom first."
"Yes ma'am." Carmela nodded her head. "Yon lang po ba?"
I suddenly remember what happened earlier. I cleared my throat and leaned on my table a little more.
"What is Sab doing on your desk?"
Nakita ko ang pagdaan ng takot sa mga mata niya.
"Uh... she just volunteered to help me, maam, while I take a lunch break. Huwag po kayong magalit sa kanya."
"Why would I be mad?" But that's not really the question I want to ask.
"Is something going on... between the two of you?"
I don't know why I'm trying to find an error in this. Why am I being a cynic? Or is that even the exact word for what I'm feeling right now? I have no idea.
"Ma'am wala ho!" Mariing pagtanggi niya. Napalunok pa ito ng ilang beses.
"Kaibigan ko po si Sab."
