‎STANDING outside the president's office, Zein looked like a portrait of calm, She's elegant and composed in her sleek black heels. Pero sa totoo lang, she was drowning. The chill clung to her skin like frost, cold and biting, pero mas malamig pa rin ang nararamdaman niya sa dibdib. Her hands, hidden behind her back, trembled slightly, but her face—oh, her face was still. Flawless. ‎‎She raised her hand, and knocked twice on the door. A low, deep voice answered from within.‎‎"Come in."‎‎Pagbukas ng pinto, naamoy niya agad ang halong mamahaling cologne at leather-bound folders. The scent that used to bring her comfort, now made her stomach twist. She walked in, smile faint but perfectly placed, as if today was just another normal day sa buhay nila.‎‎"Are you busy? These documents need your signature," she said, her voice smooth and steady. Inilapag niya ang folder sa harapan niya and turned the pages to where the signatures were needed. As if everything was fine. As if she hadn

‎Elio got up and stood behind Zein, tahimik, malamig, at punong-puno ng tension ang paligid.‎‎All eyes were darted towards Zein. Paglingon niya, nakita niya si Elio. So he was here all along.‎‎Pero imbis na mapahiya o umatras, humarap siya sa babaeng naka-short hair na kanina’y confident na confident sa pagkakaupo sa tabi, her legs were crossed while playing her short straight hair. ‎‎Ngayon, ibang-iba na ang itsura ng mukha niya. As if any second, she’d snap and scratch someone’s eyes out. Whore.‎‎Mukhang may pa-party ang dalawa kasama ng mga kaibigan. And judging by the tone of those people behind the screen, hindi ito ang first time. Matagal na palang umaabot ang “pakikipagkaibigan” nila sa labas ng bahay.‎‎Lumapit si Elio.‎‎Agad-agad, na natauhan ang mga lalaki sa loob at nagsipag-salita. ‎‎“Sister-in-law, sorry! We were just joking around, wala kaming ibig sabihin!"‎“Sister-in-law, wala pong meaning ‘yon kay Miss Reed. Promise!”‎‎“Sister-in-law, please don’t take

‎Kinuha ni Zein ang natitirang dalawang puting pawn.‎‎Alam naman ng lahat, ang dama ay laro ng isang round lang kaya isang maling tira, talo ka na. Pero si Samantha? Ayaw paawat. Para hindi mapahiya, nag-cheat nang harapan. “Even if you beat me to it, I still have a five-in-a-row, so I still win.” sabay patong ng isa pang piraso kung saan may apat na siya. She pointed at the other piece na pamalit sa pawn.‎‎Tiningnan lang siya ni Zein na parang kinukwestyon ang katalinuhan niya. “Is that so? Pwede pa palang matuloy yung laban kapag hindi mo nagamit yung pamalit mo sa pawn, that's interesting”‎‎Saka siya naglagay ng isa pang pawn at panibagong five-in-a-row. Sa loob lang ng isang minuto, halos nakuha na niya lahat ng posibleng tira sa board. Wala nang puwang para kay Samantha.‎‎Namumula’t namumutla si Samantha. “Another round!”‎‎Second round, Third, Fourth. Walang sawa. Zein still dominate the game.‎‎Sometimes, Zein would take it slow just enough to make Samantha think she h

‎Zein remained silent. She didn’t say a word, but her whole body from the way the blanket was neatly arranged to the emptiness in his eyes staring at the ceiling, screamed nothing but coldness. At the edge of the bed, Elio was visibly restless. No matter how hard he tried to appear calm, the unease was written all over his gentle face. His phone kept ringing, not just calls now, but video chat requests and a flood of text messages, as if something was burning on the other end of the line. Walang konsiderasyon at walang kahihiyan. “Hindi mo ba sasagutin?” malamig na tanong ni Zein. Walang emosyon sa tinig niya, pero sapat na iyon para manigas si Elio. "Baka miss ka na ng Sammy mo" Tahimik na kinuha ng lalaki ang cellphone, hindi man lang tiningnan ang screen, saka pinatay at ibinalik sa ibabaw ng nightstand. “Mainit ka pa rin.” Inabot niya ang noo ng babae. “It's just nothing, you better sleep. Babantayan kita.” Sumunod si Zein. Pumikit siya at tahimik na huminga. Sa loob ng silid

‎Elio removed his coat and leaned down to cover Samantha's naked body. Umiiyak at sumisigaw ito na parang bata. "Zein, get out of here!" sigaw ni Elio, galit na galit, hindi man lang napansin kung gaano kaputla ang mukha ni Zein. Si Lee, na noon lang natauhan, agad na tumakbo palapit para alalayan si Zein. "Manager Zein, are you okay?" Kagat-labing tumango si Zein, pero pulang-pula na ang mga mata niya. "Elio, you really make me sick. Ngayong nakita ko na lahat, thanks for making me realize how disgusting you guys are!" Tinabig niya ang kamay ni Lee, pilit na tumatayo kahit nanginginig ang tuhod. Gusto niyang maglakad mag-isa, she want to show how strong she is. Elio froze in place. The way Zein looked at him felt like a door about to be closed, one that would never, ever open again. "Manager Zein seems to have hurt her waist," bulong ni Lee. "Mukhang masama ang tama." Biglang sumagi sa isip niya ang biglaan niyang pagkakahila rito kanina, at ang mukha nitong punong-puno ng saki
