Stare at the table

That's all I could do. When the announcement was made. That I am leaving. I don't know what to say.

No reaction from the crowd. I dare not breathe. In case breathing might offend. I hang my head and let my hair fall around my face. Hoping my face will be occluded.
Nobody say anything.
Nothing! Nothing! I held my breath till my face turned purple.

"Thank you for being with us for the past one year."
Is that the cue for me to speak? I still dare not. I smiled and nodded.

Continue staring at the table.
