She's my Tough Girl

Thirty Three - Hunches & the things in between

Thirty Three - Hunches & the things in between

Gabby's POV

It's been a week after the mystery parcel incident na nangyari sa residence nila Agatha.

I thought this was just some prank ng kung sino mang may galit sakin dahil sa ugali ko o nakabangga ko sa motor racing but this is not the case anymore. This is getting serious and I don't expect them to actually hurt someone.

That incident can harm everyone.

I honestly have a hunch pero I can't figure out who's the person involve. The someone I know cannot do this anymore.
That can't be.

We're all physically okay now and thank God, no one was badly hurt pero di ko na hihintaying may madamay pa. The moment they sent me the parcel knowing that they are watching us and alam na kasama ko ang mga importanteng tao sa buhay ko, they are not scared if somebody else will get hurt.

I asked Trick to not help me anymore from tracking the culprit kasi for sure, kilala na rin siya ng mga yon. We reported this already to the police and I submitted some evidence, kasama na yung mga text messages na natatanggap ko. They even put a bug on Jed's bag before, they can do it with my friends too and ayoko silang madamay sa threat na di ko alam anong dahilan.

Nandito kami ngayon sa rest house namin sa Laguna together with my Kuyas, Agatha and Jed. Bakit? Nagkaroon kasi ng sabay-sabay na free time yung mga kapatid ko so, nagyaya sila ng quick out of town. However, my dad is not here kasi may sudden meeting sila sa office and di na siya makakahabol. Hihintayin niya nalang daw ang pag-uwi namin sa bahay.

My brothers have no idea of what happened to us in Vigan because if they do, all hell will lose talaga. I remember nung nalaman nila yung incident few years ago, they nearly sent the guys who were hired by Margaret to their own funeral.

"Kuya Matthew, pakiabot nga yung remote." utos ko sa kanya dahil kami lang ang andito sa sala. Jed is on his room, still sleeping dahil 4 am lang. I bet Agatha is still sleeping too.

"Ang aga mo naman manuod ng TV. Kailan ka pa naging interesado sa balita?" tanong niya pagkaabot sakin ng remote.

I didn't answer him because I am too focused on the news I am watching right now. Why? Because I see a familiar face on the internet just now so I watched it.

"CEO Ronaldo Arteza, President of Arteza Label of Constructions is now on the edge of the cliff due to corruption cases posted by their partner companies." Nangunot ang noo ko.

It feels like I found a piece of the missing puzzle.

"HOY GABBY!" Nagulat ako sa sigaw ni Kuya Matthew. Ano bang problema neto?

"Maka hoy ka naman! Bakit ba?"

"Kanina pa kita kinakausap. Bat ba nakatutok ka dyan? Kilala mo ba yang mga yan ha?" Inirapan ko siya.

"Wala ka na dun, kuya. Teka nga! bakit ang aga mo rin dito? Dapat tulog ka pa ah?"

Bigla naman niya akong sinaamaan ng tingin. Problema neto?

"Eh pano ako makakatulog? Nasa tabing kwarto ko si Agatha! Alam mo ba kung hanggang anong oras siya nasa pinto ng kwarto ko para magsalita lang mag-isa? Di ako makatulog!"

Natawa ako sa frustrated niyang mukha. Pinagtabi ko talaga sila ng kwarto as per Agatha's request. Ewan ko ba dito kay Matthew, hanggang ngayon ang tindi sa denial stage. Eh halata naman na kahit papano, nagugustuhan niya rin yung best friend ko. Sadyang di lang talaga sila same ng energy. Di kayang tapatan ni Kuya. Haha!

"Kuya, why don't you just give Agatha the attention she wants? Grabe ka naman kasi makaiwas sa knya. Paano ka magkaka-girlfriend niyan?!" asar ko sa knya.
