Kabanata 5: Friends

"Akala ko ba ay ayaw mo akong mahulog sa'yo?"

He continued to give me hugs without saying a word. He gave me a gentle hug, and I could feel it.

His steady breathing is audible, and I can almost feel the warmth of it on my neck.

"Right. . ." tumuwid siya sa pagkakaupo.

Hindi pa rin ako umaalis sa kaniyang kandungan at nanatili akong nakatitig sa mukha niya. Even though we are close, every time I look into his eyes, it feels like we are miles apart. He is too distracting, and I lose all sense of focus.

"I should remember that, I'm sorry, I was literally exhausted. Let me take a nap."

Ngumuso ako habang tumatayo.

"Hindi ka pa natutulog?" I casually asked.

He nodded slowly.

"I'm very busy."

Napatingin ako sa laptop na nasa table niya. Bumaba ang tingin ko doon at napangiwi nang mabasa ang mga cases. Maraming nakalagay na halos hindi ko na maintindihan ang iba.

"Gusto mo tulungan kita?"

He raised an eyebrow.

"Anong alam mo sa pagiging detective, Charm?"

I cocked my head to the side and grinned arrogantly.

"I can sketch. What case are you solving? Maybe I can help."

Ngumiwi siya at hinarap sa akin ang kaniyang laptop. Wala akong maupuan kaya mabilis akong umupo sa kaniyang lap at nagbasa ng case na tinatrabaho niya.

Five pupils who were begging considering the current starvation were brutally murdered by the few governor's officers under the leadership of President Victor Montes. They are so hungry that all they have done is seek the country's governors for relief.

Nobody intended to challenge them in combat because of their high-ranking leader's defense of the seven defendants, which is guaranteed by President Victor Montes.

While the other three suspects are short, the four are tall and are all male. Four of them are elderly and have a long hair, while the other three are in their late thirties.

Nangunot ang aking noo habang binabasa iyon. Putang inang Presidente 'yan, useless. Nanggigil ako bigla. Sa tuwing nababasa o naririnig ko ang pangalan na iyon ay umaakyat ang galit ng dugo ko sa aking ulo.

Mamamatay tao. Mga mamatay tao.

"Oh, right. I forgot, designer ka nga pala kaya marunong kang mag sketch."

Napasinghap ako at mabilis na tumatayo dahil sa narinig. Paano niya nalaman na designer ako?!

Pinakatitigan ko siya na may halong pagdududa sa aking mukha. Hindi ko na talaga nakakayanan kung bakit may alam siya sa buhay ko. Matagal na ba talaga niya akong kakilala bukod sa kilala niya ang Daddy ko? Iyong totoo, I'm so confused.

"Don't ask me again, just continue the case."

I bit my lower lip and looked at him with cold eyes.

"How can I focus when you got me distracted, Sir?"

His lips protruded.

"You got distracted by me?"

I let out a heavy sigh.

"I cannot take it anymore, Mr. Valeros. Bakit masyado kang maraming nalalaman sa buhay ko? Guardian angel ba kita? O baka ikaw ang reincarnation ni Daddy?" singhal ko.
