Rhyzhen Veille:

You could say, I feel like running for my dear life as if the god of death were after my soul, wanting to drag it to the bottom of hell and torture it to no end with how much my heart racing so fast it never been before.

I never put mind to every person I bump into or being shoved off out of my way as there's only one thought circling in my mind­ – Sorana and the circling misunderstanding around us.

A million nerve-wrecking thoughts made my conscious goes haywire on every second passed. Parang akong nalalasing sa kaba at takot sa kung ano ang magiging resulta ng sitwasyon na 'to – samen ni Sorana.

I don't want her to think na pinagkaisahan ko siya – namen ng kaibigan niya. Its hard for me to think na ganito ang nararamdaman niya samen ngayon.

Tho, alam kong balewala lang naman ito sa kanya pero kase involve ang pinakamatalik na kaibigan niya sa isyung ito and I know she felt betrayed by this.

That recording says so.

Hingal na hingal akong nakarating sa harapan ng administration building, kung san ang office/private room ni Sorana. Napalunok pa ko habang iginaya ang tingin sa naglalakihang building sa harapan ko. Nanginginig na naman ang mga tuhod ko nang alalahanin na nasa loob nito si Sorana, siguro'y kinamumuhian na 'ko sa ngayon.

I didn't mind the staff and student's judgmental stares thrown towards me as I enter the elevator, pressing the button of the highest floor of the building. Their murmurs and disgusted demeanor churned my guts.

Aaminin ko, I'm greatly affected by it sa totoo lang kase wala naman akong masamang nagawa pero nakuha pa rin nilang tignan at tratohin ako ng ganito. Di naman ako naka tank build para di maapektohan sa mga paguugaling meron sila.

Kahit na sabihin pa nating sanay na ko sa mga ganito pero di naman ako manhid sa sakit.

If my social status were on the same level as them, would they look at me differently? Would their sinister smile turn to genuine whenever I'm around? I think so but unfortunately, I'm not one of them. I'm not on that prestige socialites they put so much praises.

I'm just an ordinary, nothing special at that.

Mula sa kinatatyuan ko, kaharap ang pinto ng gawa sa mahogany, kung saan nasa kabila nito ang babaeng masyado kong pinapahalagahan – ang babaeng gagawin ko ang lahat, mapasakin lang.

Blanchette Sorana Desmond, ang babaeng abot-kamay ko lang pero ang hirap abutin, ang hirap mahalin.

Nanginginig ang kamay kong kumatok sa pinto saka umayos ng tindig habang humihintay na bigyan ako ng permisyo o kung pagbubuksan ako. Napahigit agad ako ng hininga ng makaring ako ng yabag ng taong, papalapit sa pinto na siya namang unti-unting pagbukas nito.

Napapilig ako ng ulo dahil sa kabang dumadagundong sa dibdib ko. Di pa ako handa sa kung ano mang magaganap sa oras na makapasok na ko sa pintong yan.

I was greeted by a stern look of Sorana's PA – Andrea. I mentally cursed in my head as I know she doesn't like it whenever her boss's name got dragged by a nonsense rumors. She tells me that herself way back on that hotel suite na pinagdalhan saken ng amo niya.

Her employer doesn't want their name and reputation got tainted and treated as plaything.

"She's already here, Ms. Desmond." Andrea said while eyeing someone inside.
