Spark 53

Chapter 53

The Sparks

Hindi ko kayang paniwalaan. Masyado akong nawindang na hindi ako nakapagsalita agad. Nanatili ang titig sa akin ni Irah, pinagmamasdan ang reaksyon ko.

"W-What..."

"I guess you didn't know," Tumalikod siya para ayusin ang damit sa isang mannequin. "Klein didn't really private their relationship because they were seen a lot of times already but they're lowkey."

Nagbara ang lalamunan ko.

"Nakapag-usap na ba kayo?" tanong niya. Hindi ko magawang makatango. "I'm glad you're settling things together. Iyon ang inaasam-asam niya ng sobra noong umalis ka. Natagalan ka man, I know he'd always want to hear from you. It will never be too late for him."

Hindi ko na kayang magsalita.

"I know it's okay with you. Klein deserves the woman. She's kind and no issue." Irah turned to me and smiled. "And you're in a relationship too, anyway. You both are in your own comfortable zone now."

Tumalikod siya upang asikasuhin ang bagong dating na customer samantalang nanatili akong nakapako roon, hindi malaman ang gagawin. I don't want to believe it but as soon as it start sinking into me, unti-unti kong naramdaman ang pagkabasag ng kung ano sa akin.

Napahawak ako sa isang standee ng damit. Nanginginig ang mga binti ko. My mind's pushing a lot of ideas about that woman these past days but I'm trying to believe it was just me being overthinker again. I didn't know... it's actually true. My mind's actually trying to tell me the truth.

Hindi ko alam kung paano tanggapin. Ramdam na ramdam ko ang pagbigat pa lalo ng aking dibdib. I am slowly breaking and I want to tear up, but I can't. I felt so numb. I don't know.

Hindi ko alam kung paano ako nakauwi nang maayos sa bahay. Tulala ako at hindi makatulog. Maraming pumasok sa isip ko, at habang patagal ng patagal, naninikip ang lahat sa akin.

Gayunpaman, pinili kong umasa muli. Pinili kong huwag munang paniwalaan 'yon. Pinili kong isipin ang hindi makakasakit sa akin. But everything crumpled down when I searched about them in the internet.

There are only few articles about them. My eyes watered when I saw how those articles were clearly confirming that they're in the lowkey relationship. That Chona Dee—the heiress of the Dee's Fashion Company, is Klein's girlfriend.

Nanginginig ang mga kamay ko habang binabasa ang lahat ng articles tungkol sa kanila. I also searched the woman. Chona Agustin Dee, a previous model, fashion icon, achiever, influencer, smart and kind. There's a lot of good comments about her. She's such a standard.

Nanghina ang kamay ko nang naibaba ang cellphone. My eyes heated. Natulala ako at hindi na nainom pa ulit ang hawak na milktea.

I don't know how to react. My chest is clenching hard and my eyes are gathering more tears. Suminghap ako at muli, natulala. Nabalik lang sa huwisyo nang marinig ang pamilyar na pangalang tinawag ng counter sa milktea shop na kinaroroonan ko ngayon.

"Ms. Chona and Mr. Klein!"

My attention went to the woman who sophicatedly stood up and walk with grace towards the counter. She was serious while getting her cups. Nang matapos ay bumalik siya sa kinauupuan at doon naghintay.

Hindi ko inalis sa kanya ang tingin ko hanggang sa tumayo siya at pumunta sa restroom. Instinctively, I stood up too and followed her. Hindi ko alam kung bakit ko siya sinundan pero hanggang sa makapasok siya sa isang cubicle, nanatili ako sa restroom.

I know I won't talk to her. I don't have the courage to do that. Gusto ko lang siyang titigan at tingnan nang matagal. Gusto ko lang pagmasdan ang babaeng...
