View More午後六時四十分、この日、母に同僚で恋人でもある颯(はやて)を紹介するため、待ち合わせ場所の店の前で彼の到着をずっと待っていた。
約束の時間まであと二十分。時間に遅れたことがない颯のことだから、もうそろそろ着くはずだ―――――
しかし、颯はなかなか姿を見せず、電話をしても繋がらない。メッセージも既読にならないことに胸に嫌な予感が広がる。
「佐奈のこと、人生を掛けて幸せにする。だから結婚してください」、あの時くれた誓いの言葉が、心の中でざらついて消えた。そして、待ち合わせに十分過ぎてからようやく颯から電話がかかってきた。
「颯、今どこにいる?心配したんだよ。何かあった?」
「ごめん。行けなくなった。」
「どうしたの。具合でも悪い?」
「そうじゃないんだ。佐奈、俺たち今日で終わりにしよう。今までありがとう」
「え?颯?どういうこと?ちゃんと説明して………」
ツーツーツーツー
颯は、私の話を遮って電話を切った。すぐに掛けなおしたが電話には出ない。電話が切れて数秒後の着信に気がつかないわけがない。その後も颯から折り返しがくることはなかった。
(なんで?急に別れるなんてどういうこと?昨日の夜までいつも通りだったじゃない。どういうこと?)
母には、急な打ち合わせが入ったと説明して二人だけで食事をした。頭の中では、颯のプロポーズや先ほどの電話の言葉が交互に繰り返されていた。
翌日、一睡もできずに頭がボーとする中、会社に行くと辺りが騒々しい。
みんな周りを気にしながらひそひそと話をしている。同期に「おはよう」と声をかけると、彼女はすぐに私のところに来て腕を掴み、人がほとんど来ることの無い非常口前の部屋へと直行した。「佐奈、大変なことになったよ。聞いて。総務の七條さんいるでしょ。彼女、実は社長の実の孫娘だったんだって。それを隠して入社してたらしいんだけど、婚約者ともうすぐ結婚するからって、昨夜、残業中に総務部の取締役がうちの部門長に話をしにきたの。」
「七條さんが―――?」
七條璃子。直接話したことはなかったが、艶々の黒髪で凛とした佇まいが美しく、女優にもなれそうな容姿で有名な人だ。まさかそんな美人が社長の孫娘だったなんて驚いた。しかし、それ以上に驚いたのはこの後だった。
「それで婚約者と言うのがね……松田さんなの。二人、社内恋愛していたみたい」
(嘘でしょ。松田って颯のこと?だって颯は、私にプロポーズしてくれて昨日も母に紹介する約束をしていたのに……)
昨日、待ち合わせ場所に訪れず別れを告げた理由も分かったが、頭の理解が追いつかない。颯がそんなことするはずがない、何かの間違いだと思ったが、そんな思いはすぐに打ちのめされた。
遠くからエレベーターが到着した音が聞こえると、辺りが先ほどよりも、より一層ザワザワとしたどよめきに溢れていた。視線を移すと、そこには颯と七條璃子が仲睦まじく並んで歩いている。
璃子は、颯の腕に軽く手を絡ませて微笑んでいる。颯は、佐奈と付き合っていた頃には見せなかった、どこか緊張した笑顔を浮かべていた。
(噂は本当だと言うの?社内恋愛っていつから?だって私たちは四年も付き合っていたのに。その期間も颯は七條さんと付き合っていたの?)
昼休みに差し掛かる前、颯の周りに人がいないことを確認してからそっと近寄り話しかける。
「松田さん、話があるんですけれど今いいですか?」
「忙しいから無理だ。それと今後は璃子以外の女性とは仕事以外の話はしないことにしたから話しかけないでくれ。業務で用があっても話しかけずに社内メールにするように。」
(仕事以外の話はしないって、それなら昨日の話はいつならいいの?それとも社内恋愛で社内の出来事だから社内メールでも送っていいわけ?)
「それでしたら、社内メールにて昨夜の件と今までの経緯を時系列で記載してお送りしますね。なんなら、七條さんと総務部長や関係各所も宛先に入れて送付した方がいいですか?」
私が笑顔で言うと、颯は殺気に満ちた目で私を睨みつけてきた。
「そんなことしたらどうなっているか、分かっているだろうな。この会社にいられなくなるようにすることも出来るんだぞ」
「それは自分の実力ではなく、周りの力を借りて、でしょ?どういうことか分かるように説明してくれない?」
颯は手元の時計を確認すると時刻は十二時一分を指していた。
「これから璃子と約束しているんだ。変な誤解を与えるようなことはしないでもらえるか?」
颯は私との会話を切り上げてその場を去って行った。
I cried silently on the playground knowing that no one can see me at this state. Hindi ko malaman kung gaano na ako katagal sa ganoong posisyon pero nakaramdam ako na parang may nakatingin sa akin. Tinanggal ko ang aking mga palad sa aking mata at nagulat sa bumungad sa akin. I abruptly wiped the tears away.Sitting in front of me was Zyle. Nakaupo ito isang metro ang layo sa akin sa madamong lapag. Ang kaniyang tuhod ay nakadikit sa dibdib. Nakapatong naman ang mga braso sa tuhod nito. His chin was resting on his crossed arms while his eyes were watching me. I can't see any reaction from his face because of darkness. "What are you doing here?"Kanina pa ba siya nandito? Bakit hindi ko nalaman? Saka paano niya nalamang nandito ako?"Are you crying?"I don't even know why he was asking. He obviously knew that I was crying. I have a hunch that he's been here for a while, watching me cry but he never want me to recognize his existence, so he kept silent. Because if he does, Edi sana nala
"T-terrence.""Cass?" I imagined him frown just by his tone. Maybe because he heard me stuttered. "How's your date?"Hindi ko pinansin ang sinabi niya. "Terrence won't you really go home t-tonight?" My voice broke kaya agad kong tinakpan ang bibig, habang nararamdaman ang pagtulo ng luha sa aking mga mata."Cass, are you okay?""No." I cried silently. I was in a cubicle of a mall I passed by when I received the call...I...I don't even know what I should be thinking right now."Where are you? Is Zyle with you?""Just answer me if you can't really come home," I said stubbornly while wiping my tears away. "Please," I murmured."Cass," he called my name and I knew that he was really conflicted whether or not he'll come.I sniffed. "It's okay." Whatever it was he was doing, I knew it was important. "I'll wait you tomorrow then I'll tell you.""Are you sure? Cass if you want--""No. I'll be fine. Do your job t-there and come back ASAP.""Sure. Stay in the unit, okay?" He reminded me worrie
There are things that you'll do without second thoughts. But there are also things you'll do without thinking at all. And most of the time, you'll end up regretting doing it on the first place.I was hugging Terrence all the time as we made our way home. More like, hiding my face on his chest."We're heading in," Terrence said as we stood in front of our door. I was still hiding on him, somehow, trying to act drunk.
Napaawang ang mga labi ko ng marinig ang sinabi niya. Ibinaba ko ang aking cellphone saka tumingin sa kaniya na nakahiga sa gitna. "Nasaan 'yung mga kasama mo?" I asked with a frown. I looked at the seat but there's no evidence that someone was here. "I told you, umuwi ka na,” he said instead of answering me. "Sumabay ka na nga sa aki
