Chapter Fifty-six

"Don't worry, we did our best. At least, we still got another account. Let's just focus on this one, okay?" Miss Alecia's encouraging words comforted us after we all failed to get the account we were working hard for.

We all nodded to her in response, all silent for we were all very sad. Above anyone else, it was her who needed a comfort. Siya ang nag-present ng presentation namin at nasa kaniya ang lahat ng pressure plus, she was our team leader. We got a smaller account. Mas maganda sana kung nakuha namin iyong malaking account pero hindi na rin masama dahil mayroon kaming tatrabahuin.

Halos lahat kami ay nahinto sa mga ginagawa namin nang padabog na nagmartsa si Chelsea mula sa restroom pabalik sa area niya. She harshly picked her bag, not noticing the gloomy atmosphere and her face was wet because of tears. Tahimik siyang naglakad palabas ng office at nang tuluyan na siyang mawala ay agad na natuon sa akin ang atensyon ng lahat.

They all stared confusedly at me.

"What happened to her?" Miss Belinda's confused voice boomed around, and I knew her question was directed to me since ako ang pinakamalapit dito kay Chelsea.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit biglang naging ganoon si Chelsea. Nag-away kaya sila ni Kuya Haynes? Pero okay pa naman siya kaninang nagla-lunch kami ah?

Dinampot ko ang bag ko at agad siyang sinundan matapos bigyan si Miss Alecia ng makahulugang tingin na agad naman niyang tinanguan. I seriously didn't know what to do at times like this. I didn't know how Kuya Haynes treated his girl but I would really beat him up if he hurt Chelsea.

Mabuti na lang at naabutan ko si Chelsea na pumapara pa lang ng taxi. Mabilis akong tumakbo palabas ng building para maabutan ko siya dahil may humintong nang taxi sa harap niya. Luckily, just as she was just about to get in, I managed to reach her.

"Chelsea!" habol-hiningang tawag ko sabay hawak ng braso niya para pigilan siyang sumakay.

She turned to me with her watering eyes. "H-Hanselle…" she uttered in a cracked voice.

"What happened?" nag-aalalang tanong ko.

Suminghot siya bilang sagot kasabay nang paglandas ng mga luha mula sa mga mata niya. She got in the car and pulled me in too. Sinabi niya sa driver ang lugar na pupuntahan namin. I just let her cry all the way. Hinahaplos ko lang ang likod niya para pagaanin ang loob niya because I really didn't know what to do. Hindi pa ako nagkakaroon ng kaibigan na may parehong sitwasyon, I had never had a friend to comfort too.

Hindi talaga ako marunong mag-comfort.

The car stopped in front of a not so big and not so modern looking building. Chelsea's house was located in that building. Nalaman kong kagaya ko ay mag-isa lang din siyang namumuhay.

Her house was just a studio-type. May puting single-sized bed sa isang gilid, a white leather couch was located adjacent to the bed's headboard, in front was a round glass table. May refrigerator, may mesa at mga upuan sa isang gilid din kung nasaan naman ang isang konkretong counter na pinapatungan ng isang glass stove. Wala akong nakikitang pinto para sa banyo kaya't naisip kong baka ay may public comfort room ang building para sa lahat.

She wasn't living in an exclusive condominium unit but in just a simple but cozy apartment.

"Yes Hanselle, this is where I live. Nasa Cebu ang pamilya ko. We're not rich like your family but we eat three meals a day and that's enough to call us lucky," ani Chelsea matapos niyang isara ang pintong pinasukan namin. Napansin niya yatang pinagmamasdan ko ang kabuuan ng bahay niya. She was just like Holly, she had those K-Pop posters all over her walls, mostly BGB and LUX.
