23:57

7th Incident: Phase 冒頭

Note: Wow! Number 1 na raw po sa Paranormal Categ ang 23:57! Naluha ako. Kasi nasilaw ako sa araw. Ay gabi pala ngayon. Haha! Salamat po talaga! Wala akong expectations nang isulat ko ang story na ito. All I wanted is to scare and engage you! Yung mag interact lang tayo habang sinusulat ko ang kwentong ito. Ganun lang. Tapos eto na. Seriously guys! Why are you doing this to meeee?! Hahaha! Edi ginaganahan na ako magsulat lalo. Actually bakasyon ko po ngayon pero nagsusulat pa rin ako (habang gumagawa ng manga) kasi sobrang natuwa ako sa mga feedback ninyo. Sorry kung hindi ko masagot lahat a. Pero nababasa ko lahat ng comments ninyo! Kung pwede ko lang i-like lahat ng comments ninyo, ginawa ko na. Thank you for always giving me your thoughts and votes. And now, let's proceed to the chapter 7...

            "You've changed." Ayako told me nang alisin ko ang braso nang hawakan niya ako. Nangingilid ang luha niya.

            "I- I don't think so. I just... I don't know"

            "Please believe me Yuya," pakiusap ni Ayako sa akin ng paulit-ulit. Nalilito na rin kasi siya. Pero sa totoo lang, I am now having doubts to my girlfriend. Also, series of frustrating things keep on happening. I thought, I will be able to uncover the story behind 23:57 once I met the one who wrote the urban legend but I ended up having more questions. The worst part, the key to all of these had been into a terrible accident. An accident in the safest city in the world, how ironic.

            "Ayako, I am confused as you are. Please let me think about this situation alone for the mean time. I'm sorry..." sagot ko kay Ayako habang ang dalawang palad ko ay nakatakip sa mukha ko. Stressed na talaga ako sa lahat ng ito. Any moment now, I might just collapse. Pakiramdam ko, kung hindi man ako mamatay dahil sa mga naka surgical masks, baka stress and fatigue na ang pumatay sa akin. I have been trying to keep positive but it seems that every positive things that I have right now are drained.   

           

            15:37. Nasa Shibuya police station kami ni Ayako. We were being interrogated by the investigators and the police. Hinihingi ng media ang statements namin sa event pero pinigilan sila ng police. The medical team was also with us assisting few moments after the incident happened. Kakakilala ko pa lang kay Daisy at ngayon ay iniimbestigahan naman kami.

            Dumating ang isang lalaking naka light grey trench coat. Matangkad siya at may investigator aura. Tama nga ako dahil agad niyang kinausap ang police na in charge sa amin at ipinakita niya sa amn ang license niya.

            "I am Investigator Yamamura Taro of the Shibuya Tokyo Ward."

           

            "Tell us. Why did Daisy Figueroa ran unto the advertising truck? You were the last person that she saw."  usisa ng isang investigator naka light grey na trench coat.

            "She just ran when-" napatigil ako ng makita ko si Ayako sa tabi ko na nangingilid ang luha at napansin kong nanginginig ang nakasara niyang mga kamay na nakapatong sa lap niya.

            "S-she just ran and got hit by the truck. I have no idea why."

            I lied.

 

            Somehow, kahit doubtful ako kay Ayako, my guts told me to protect her. I know lying won't do us any good. However, sino bang maniniwala sa isang urban legend?
