THAT MAN IN BLACK SUIT

TITLE: THAT MAN IN BLACK SUIT
GENRE: MYSTERY / THRILLER

It's 12:00pm...

"Hello? Mr. Wilson? Police Chief Officer?"

Boses ng batang babae ang narinig ko sa kabilang linya matapos ko itong sagutin.

"Yes. Ano ang aking maipaglilingkod sa iyo? Hija?"

Malumanay ko'ng tanong.

"Mr. Wilson, there is a silhouette of a man here at my bedroom's window. He's just staring at me the whole night, and he doesn't hesitate to move or take his eyes away from me"

Nanginginig at takot na takot ang boses ng batang babae sa kabilang linya. Ipinagsawalang bahala ko lang ang kanyang sinabi. Bata nga naman, at kung ano-ano ang nakikita.

"Okay, so what's your name?"

"Im Chealse Smith"

"Sinong kasama mo dyan?"

"My mom and dad is in their room"

"Now, go to your mom and dad's room. So, you will be safe there"

"No, i can't"

Halata sa boses nito ang takot.

"And, why is that?"

"Because, if i move. This man will follow me Mr. Wilson! Im scared. What if, he'll eat me?"

"Uhm, Chealse? Can you describe that man? In your room's window?"

"He's tall. And i know that he's wearing a Black Suit"

"Chealse, Listen to me. He will not eat you, Okay? Maybe it's just a statue? So, for now go to your mom and dad's room"

Pagpapaliwanag ko dito. Ngunit, lumipas na ang dalawang minuto, wala pa ring sumasagot sa kabilang linya.

"Hey, Chealse? Are you there? Do you hear me? Chealse? Please answer"

Maya maya lang ay sumagot na sya.

"Mr. Wilson, he's not a statue. Because he's talking to me awhile ago"

Agad na napako ang tingin ko sa bintana ng aking office. Madilim na sa labas at napakalakas ng ulan.

"And what did he told you?"

"He said.."

Pagkasabi nya ay agad naputol sa kabilang linya. At palakas ng palakas ang ulan. Dinial ko ulit ito, at buti na lang sinagot nya ulit.

"Mr. Wilson! The man in black suit was gone! But before he go. He said, he will go to your house and kill you, also your wife and your children. Mr. Wilson, be careful. He's now staring at you, from your office' window"

Matapos nyang sabihin yun. Tuluyan ng namatay ang linya at kumidlat ng malakas. Napatingin ako sa aking bintana. Agad na napako ako sa aking kinauupuan at napatitig sa isang pigura ng lalaki sa aking harapan...

                       3 years later...

It's 12:00pm...

"Hello? Detective? Mrs. Woodson?"

Boses ng lalaki ang narinig ko matapos ko itong sagutin.

"Uhm. Hello? Ano ang maipaglilingkod ko sayo?"

"Mrs. Woodson, there is a silhouette of aan here at my office' window. He's just staring at me the whole night, and he doesn't hesitate to move or take his eyes away from me"

Nanginginig at takot na takot ang boses nito.

"Sir, Can you describe to me that man? In your office' window?"

"He's tall. And i know that he's wearing a black Suit"

Agad na napatigil ako sa aking kinatatayuan at napaisip... Maya-maya lang...

"Maari ko ba'ng malaman ang iyong pangalan?"

Tanong ko rito...

"Edward Wilson..."

Agad na nanlaki ang aking mga mata, Edward Wilson.. This is what happened to Edward Wilson 3 years ago.. At ako ang humawak ng case nya...

Tha't man in black suit—No, way...
