"Umamin ka na. Or else..."
NAPALIGIRAN namin si Mary nang dumating si Chris. Bakas sa mukha niya ang kaba at pagkalito.
"Mary, just tell us everything." Hinawakan ko ang balikat niya't sinubukan siyang pakalmahin. "Promise, hindi ka madadawit at hindi namin sasabihin ang pangalan mo sa school admins. But we really need to put things in the right place. Hindi pwedeng basta-basta na lang nakikipag-relasyon ang gurong 'yon sa kung sinong estudyante dito sa Wilton."
"The vice president is right, Mary," sabi naman ni Flavian. "That man is clearly taking advantage of a young girl like you."
Halos mag-tama na ang mga kilay ni Mary habang nakatingin sa 'min. Kung kanina'y sobrang jolly ng kaniyang mukha, ngayon ay para na siyang suspect na kulang na lang ay posasan.
"You don't need to sugarcoat things on this girl." Umirap si Chris. Agad ko naman siyang pinandilatan ng mata. "Why? She's into it. She knew these consequences will follow her when their relationship is exposed."
"Christofer..." Sinubukan siyang pigilan ni Flavian.
"Teka, guys, can I speak?" Sa wakas ay nagawa na ring magsalita ni Mary. Tumango naman ako roon habang nakahawak pa rin sa balikat niya. "Anong sinasabi niyong ka-relasyon? Wala naman akong boyfriend," mahinhin niyang wika.
Chris chuckled on that. "See that? She's even lying about it! Even if it's too obvious, she's still trying to find ways to escape!"
Bumuntong hininga naman ako roon. Tinignan ko sa mata si Mary. "Sabihin mo na lang ang totoo, please? You're already busted Mary. Alam na naming may relasyon kayo ni Sir Henry."
Doon na tuluyang nanlaki ang kaniyang mga mata na para bang luluwa na ito. Her ears were as if starting to emit steam. "A-ano? Wala kaming relasyon no'n! Sa'n niyo naman nakuha 'yon?"
"It was a circling rumor around the campus! Usap-usapan na may relasyon daw si Mary Ann Smith at ang Student Council Adviser na si Sir Henry Roquillo." Flavian fixed the bridge of his glasses then crossed his arms.
"Ano? Since when did the rumor start to go around? Oo, alam ko ang issue tungkol kay Uncle Henry na nakikipag-relasyon siya sa mga estudyante dito sa Wilton kapalit ng grades at pera pero hindi ako kasali do'n. Ang yuck naman!"
Ngayon ay ako naman ang naguguluhan. Kahit si Chris at si Flavian ay nangunot rin ang noo. "Uncle? What do you mean by uncle?"
She heaved a sigh before speaking. Parang sa loob ng ilang minuto, I saw a lot of colors in her eyes. Kanina'y masaya ang kaniyang mga mata, then it turned to amusement then to shock.
But now, I saw pain in her eyes. "Sir Henry is the brother of my mom. Just recently, my father found out that my mom's cheating on him with another American Man kaya umalis si dad sa bahay namin. It was painful for me and for him of course, so I left with my dad. I never talked to my mom since then, not even online. Kaya ngayon, he's asking his brother para kumustahin ako at padalhan ng kung ano-ano."
