Never Be Apart

CHAPTER 17

Yoo Ki's POV

Tahimik lang ako habang nasa byahe kami pauwi sa bahay. Napag usapan namin na umuwi nalang muna at wag na muna pumunta sa isa pang police station.

I feel like I'm drained by what happened today. Ashden is right, the world is really small because the person I just bumped into yesterday is the person who will defend the possible culprit in Father's death.

Hindi na sumabay sa amin si Ashden dahil sa police station palang ay humiwalay na siya, he said he just needed to go somewhere and that was important. Okay din sa akin iyon dahil sa hindi maipaliwanag na dahilan mas gusto kong hindi niya ako makitang nasa weak na kalagayan.

Yoon Gi is also tired so I agreed to go home, I really feel sorry for my brother. He's too young to experience all of this. Hindi pa niya kayang ihandle ang ganitong problema dahil bata pa siya, kids like him should be studying well in school and not be affected in these kinds of  problems.

When I got home, someone suddenly called Ah Ki. Napalingon kaming lahat sa kanya, sumenyas siya na mauna nang pumasok dahil kakausapin niya pa yung caller sa labas. Sinunod naman namin iyon.

We sat on the couch while Yoon Gi went straight to his room, I reminded him not to lock the door, he just nodded.

"I don't know what to do anymore", mahinang sambit ko.  Natsumi and Haruki turned to me. They sighed once more.

Ah Ki grabbed our attention as she ran back and sat down next to me.

"I think this is a good news!", ramdam ko ang galak sa boses niya. I just nodded signaling her to continue.

"Si Ninong, may copy siya ng footage. It's confidential daw pero he said he can lend us the footage basta wag daw natin isangkot name niya kung sakali!", natutuwang ani Ah Ki. Bigla ay nabuhayan ako.

"Tell him to meet us ASAP!", halos pasigaw ko ng sagot sa kanya.

"Yes!He will come right here to your house, sa study room niyo tayo mag usap? Y'know. Privacy", sagot ni Ah Ki. Tumango lang ako at agad na tumayo para ihanda ang study room.

When I returned to the living room, Ah Ki's Godfather had just arrived. He nodded at me and I bowed to show my respect.

"Is this a safe place?", paunang tanong niya saka inilibot ang tingin sa buong bahay.

"I've prepared the study room, let's talk there po", sagot ko. Tumango naman siya at kinuha ang bag na kakalapag lang.

"Only trustworthy people should know about this, as I've said earlier, this is confidential", aniya pa. We looked at each other and nodded at the same time.

There was a table in our study room that was similar to the dining table, we sat one by one on its chairs. Nasa gitna namin yung Ninong ni Ah Ki. Seryoso nitong binuksan ang laptop saka dahan dahan na hinarap sa aming apat.
