The Present
I was working inside my cabin when my co-worker called for me to tend her work as she's going outside for some personal business.
I was there inside her cabin working with my reports and her reports which needed to be submitted before our cut-off ends.
I was sitting idly as I remember it was our day of anniversary with my boyfriend Alex.
I'm trying to call him but the other side seems to be busy.
And in just a snap. There's an incoming call I've received.
I looked at my phone to know who was calling...
Micaela
Oh, I think he's busy.
I answered the phone call.
Micaela
Hello, are you busy right now.
Micaela
I called you a while ago, asking if you're not busy tonight.
Alex
Oh, what for? I don't remember there's a special occasion today. Wait, Imma look at my schedule today.
Micaela
If you're free just leave me a message. I think I disturb you, it seems like you're busy.
Alex
Yup, so busy right now, I need to get this deal done. So, just catch up later if I can make it done before night falls. Bye.
He just hang up the phone and didn't even wait for my response to him.
This is our usual conversation if me and him is busy.
The longest convoy we had was like.... 2 years ago. There was a reunion at our school. By the way, he's one of my classmates from an art block sect.
That's the time I've seen him first.
Well, there's nothing to tell a story between our relationship.
To make the story short, it's too dull that you can't imagine, too sour at some point, and sometimes too bland that you won't imagine yourself to be in this kind of relationship.
On our first date as a couple, you can say that we can't be apart from each other. It's like gum that's too sticky. But then, some months after, after what I've been trying to unfold. The thing about the shadow behind me triggers our relationship.
It just became the worst of all worst. The feeling like it became a hindrance between us. He sometimes asks me, why not let's go to the police? Ask them to have an investigation with regards to your situation.
At first I don't want to. I don't think it's a good idea. I was too worried, what if that shadow turned back not at me but at him? That's why I'm scared about.
I'm living on my own, since the time I got my job from a certain company. I leave my dad as he always wants to.
I reported it to the police but then, we don't have evidence about my claim. So they dropped it.
Time passed.
The sky seems to be gloaming. Dusk is approaching. I don't get any message from him. So I just ignored it. If he doesn't want to celebrate why would I? I left the company at exactly 1800 hours as I look at my watch.
I'm at the doorstep of the company hailing for a cab.
I returned to my home around 1 hour after. I just got straight to the couch as I feel terrible about this day. I'm too exhausted even though I didn't get to drain the energy in my body. I snatch some sleep as my eyes wanted to.
I slept without eating my dinner.
