No, I'm not taking about my family in this article ad God forbid.

Hello, dear read.cash friends, how are you all?

I got lazy these days and remembered I did not get the exercise that I needed and the water that I should drink. Good thing I had 3 glasses of water already and am looking forward to drinking more.

Do hydrate wherever you are now.

Today when I got to my workplace, I read articles in read.cash through my office computer then the plant manager came and asked everybody if a certain co-worker came back. I arrive late since my time in is at 9 am but the others who came early and the supervisor said he did not. I really had o idea of what was going on until I heard them talking behind me,(the manager's table was on my back). I was busy with my work but my left marites ear was trying hard to listen to them. Then it got me thinking that it will be good to listen to people and know the happenings around but never to add or diminish the story and tell it to anyone. But I am gonna share it with you for my peace of mind and awareness also.

Out of the 51 admin staff, there were only four of us who are females but there are third-party employees too, and there are a lot of females there. Only a few are singles, some have live-in-partners and the majority are married.

A few females are lead women, but the majority of the females are sweepers. A salute to them for keeping the feed mill pant clean. Some of the women sweepers are wives of the guards who also worked in the feed mill plant. The husband guards asked the favor of the manager so that they will be employed and help fight poverty.

The majority of the employees are assigned to production. It cannot be denied that the employees will interact with each other and fall in love.

The confrontation

This morning, as the employees came to the plant to punch in the biometrics, one of the guards confronted Ryan, the Silo operator ( the story is what the witnesses said), and asked him

uyab mo sa akong asawa? nagnong mag text man ka niy anga mingawon ka niya? (are you my wifes's boyfriend? why did you texteshe that you will miss her?

SG. Rico's wife halted work about a month ago. When her co-sweeper was asked yesterday what the reason is, Inday said that she has to stop working because both of her sons are already going to school and she had to take care of them.

The two men almost had a fight; Ryan went inside the plant and told his supervisor that he will resign from work. His supervisor said no, not yet and they have to talk about the issue but Ryan fed using the gate for the trucks and not for the employees.

The investigation

The investigation was still going on. In the other room, The manager, supervisor and SG Rico is talking. They have been there for almost two hours already and they still did not have their lunch yet. Before that, a bunch of people were called in for the investigations.

Happy now, regret later

Rumors were spreading that the woman makes way to go to the area where Ryan was assigned and Ryan brought her an android phone. Some had leaked that the husband also read Ryan's message telling her that she is "lami" (delicious or whatever this means in English). And some said that the woman was linked into two men who are admin employees.

Ryan even left on the group chat. Maybe he was humiliated.

The happening earlier was a bit scary and I am overthinking it now. what might Ryan's wife think about her husband when she knows about the issue? Will Ryan be convinced to come back to work? What will his family eat if he stops working? What about the Guard's family? Will he ever forgive his wife if she is proven guilty?

What if all of it was just a joke?

I wish all of it was just a joke. I could not help but think about the kids those people have. I wish Ryan was just sending jokes to the woman and SG Rico just took it seriously.

But what if not?

Why do such things happen the society? Have they both been weak? Have they given to the temptations of lust that they often misinterpreted as love?

This is why I don't

• mingle so much with other co-workers. Thanks to read.cash and noise for keeping me busy since last year.

• go easy with co-workers. Better be known as strict than they would play jokes on me.

• I will rather be alone. Having company everywhere makes them observe you and take to people about you plus, minus the truth.

One should be mindful of the things that he does

Everything a man does be it good or bad will affect his future. Do good and be rewarded; do bad and you'll face the consequences. That's how life goes. I just hope that those people involved will realize what they had done and be sorry and never do it again.

I am really worried for their families though.

Thank you for your time.
