Peculiarity In Her Eyes

[ 33 ] A Sleuth's Job: Part 3

Because I'm curious about her, I need to look deeper about her, I said it to myself and I will keep my words. I atleast just need to know what things and activities she does in a day.

Alam kong nagmumukha akong stalker sa lagay kong ito, technically speaking, tawag na talaga dito ay stalking, but I don't have a choice. As a detective, I need to do this. I need to do what my conscience is whispering to me 'cause that's my inner detective says to me.

I'm not a private investigator but I could be if anyone hired me, I will find clues and answers even without their permission.

I have a feeling that I will just might cause trouble. Wag naman sana, sini-stalk ko lang naman siya para malaman hindi lang ang mga ginagawa niya but also the person's personality and attitude towards the people she meet.

In some cases, I wasn't surprised that she had no friends at her school, well obviously dahil sa pinapakita niyang pagkatao niya but there's this one sole girl that always make efforts just to talk to her. Nakikita ko siya na palagi niya siya kinukulit.

Nalaman ko rin kung saan sila nakatira. I carefully stopped my car in front of the building where she and her older sister stays. Hindi ko na kailangan pang malaman kung anong room number nila, I just need to know her semi-private life, not her actual super private life.

People needs privacy and security so I will avoid that. Kahit pa na gawin nating dahilan na isa akong detective ay hindi pa rin valid iyon dahil hindi alam ng papa nila, ni James na patago kong tinitignan at iniimbestigahan ang anak niya.

In my point of view, she's like my case study which is bad dahil kada iniisip ko ito ay nagi-gulity ako kasi para ko siyang test subject ng isang mad scientist. Hindi ko ito mapigilan na isipin dahil parang malapit ito sa ginagawa ko. Stalking is like a case study, secretly studying every inch you want to know about that particular thing.

I stalked her for a week. Ugh, kinikilabutan ako sa salitang 'stalk' dahil ang pangit basahin, nagmumukha akong bastos. Pakiramdam ko ay isa akong criminal o rapist na may crush sa isang underage na batang babae.

I would like to change it into 'secretly eyeing', mas maganda na 'yan kesa sa stalk. Pero mas maganda na spy nalang.

So I was saying, I kept my eyes on her for a week, just spying her nothing more. While I was spying her, it's Thursday today and exactly 7 pm in the night. I'm just parking my car not far from the building of their apartment, sitting silently when I saw her sister crossed in front of my car, 'di kalayuan sakin. Nilalakad niya ang sidewalk at papunta siya ngayon sa direksyon ko.

Dahil tinted naman ang bintana ng kotse ko ay hindi ko na kailangan pang magtago. Tumigil siya sa paglalakad nung biglang nagring ang cellphone niya. My car ain't soundproof kaya maririnig ko talaga. Tinignan niya ito ng ilang sandali and the expression of her face is doubting, saying that will she answer the call or not. Sa huli ay nilagay niya ito sa kanyang tenga na bumubuntong hininga, sinyales na sinagot niya ang tawag.

"Yes, I'm coming... Yes." Rinig kong sabi niya nung dinaanan niya ako.

I don't know why but my eyes keep following her and I have also these weird intuition, saying that I should follow her. Tinignan ko muna ang paligid, sinisiguradong walang may nakakakilala sakin. Dahil gabi naman ngayon at walang masyadong tao ay lumabas na ako.

I'm far about 16 meters from her para hindi niya maramdaman ang presensya na may sumusunod sa kanya. I follwed her like a normal being doing on it's own thing. Kinuha ko pa ang cellphone ko para lang magkunwari akong nagtetext.

Habang sinusundan ko siya ay nasa tenga pa rin ang kanyang cellphone, kinakausap ang kung sino man ang nasa kabilang linya. Nung lumiko siya ay mas binilisan ko ang aking lakad. Nang nasa likuan na ako ay nagtago muna ako sa pader, heave a sigh and peeked a little. Sumalubong ang dalawa kong kilay ko.
