Huminga ako ng malalim at agaran na pinalis ng mabilis ang mga luha.

I went straight to the nearest comfort room to wash my hands. Mabilis akong pumasok sa cubicle at doon nagpalabas ng nararamdaman.

Ano ang ibig sabihin noong kagabi? He acted sweet to get me on his bed? Ganoon ba yun?

Gusto kong matawa.

How could I be stupid. I felt so used. Pakiramdam ko, pinaikot niya lang ako.

All the threats are finally pointing out, including his lolo's warning. And it hurts, thinking, I got fooled again.

Naalala ko, he told me to meet him at that tower... pero iba ang naabutan ko.

And it dawned me... I think Ivory was the woman he was with that night. Kaya pala familiar. I just recently, remembered her,  when I saw her pictures on the internet.

I should have confronted him, huh.

But I guess this love got the best of me. Kasi hindi ko na inisip ang nakaraan. Muntik ko na ding nakalimutan, he was a playboy after all.

I covered my mouth to stop my sobs when I heard someone entered the comfort room.

Rinig ko silang naguusap-usap.

"Girl, you know Lopez of Finance?", rinig kong halakhak ng isa.

"Yep. How pathetic. She really assumed seseryosohin siya. Too naïve."

"I know right. When I heard the rumors of her dating the boss, I couldn't believe it."

I rolled my eyes. Don't worry. Pati ako hindi makapaniwala na naging tanga ako.

"Sis, hindi kasi rumor! It's true. Kawawa naman siya. People upstairs are talking about her."

"Nakakaawa naman kasi. May fiancée pala si Boss, pero pinatulan niya."

Kumunot ang noo ko. Kaagad kong pinalis ang mga tirang luha sa pisngi.

What they said made my tears stopped. These people be gossiping others. Like, ganun ba sila ka bored?

"Maybe pumayag kasi syempre, like duh? Position? Plus, who wouldn't date a bach - "

Agad kong binuksan ang pintuan ng cubicle at dumiretso sa sink, katabi nila.

I heard one of them muttered a curse.

I washed my hands and my face. Kumuha ako ng tissue sa gilid ng dingding at bahagyang dinampian ang mukha.

Halos namutla sila nang makita ako.
"M-miss!"

I sighed in exasperation. Seriously what they said stung, but it doesn't faze me.

"You're right, I must be pathetic, huh?", wala gana kong sambit sabay angat ng tingin sa salamin at linipat sa kanila.

Umiling ako at nag spray ng alcohol sa kamay.

These kids are newly hired employee under the creative designs. And here they are gossiping kahit working hours.

"What do you think?", hinarap ko sila.

"S-sorry po..."

Ang isa ay napayuko at ang isa naman ay hindi makatingin sa akin. Lumapit ako at bahagyang sinulyapan ang ID nila.

"Should I tell Mr. Torres and the HR that you're gossiping here?"

Nakita kong napatigil ang dalawa, halos mamutla na. "Miss! P-pasensya na po!"
