The Law of Love

Chapter 5

Fire

Until now I really can't believe it in what happened to us even I conviced myself to accept this reality. I really can't do it.

"So, you are saying Ms.Garcia that you and your friends are framed up with just nobody."

I suddenly back in the reality when I heard his cold voice again. "Yes, Atty. and I don't know who are they." I said to him while looking in his blue eyes.

"Do you know about this saying, Ms. Garcia?" He looked at me again intently. "Curiousity killed the cat. You and your friends are curious in everything with some others property and that's the consequences that you will get"

I didn't react on what he is saying but I know in myself that he is true but is all happened now. And I just want a justice for me and to my friends and find that fucking culprit.

"Anyway, I will study your cased and we will continue to investigate about these." He said then he started to collect his things and ready to go. 

"Ahh,...Atty. Meron lang akong gustong malaman, m-may balita na ba kayo sa mga kaibigan ko?" Nauutal kong tanong sa kanya at hindi ko alam kung ano ang magiging reaction ko sa isasagot nya.

He looked at me too. "I don't have any news to Kenneth and Kevin aside from their families are involved in why they are dissapeared like a bubble and they are still looking." He suddenly stopped on what he is saying then he leaned in the table. "And to the couple...they are still staying in there and no progress about in their condition." He said emphatically.

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang sasabihin ko sa kanya, I was still shocked and cannot believe it. "And also, why are you still care anyway to them? Look, what they did to you. Look at yourself, Miss Garcia. You are miserable."

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa kanya dahil sa sinabi nya sobrang harsh ng sinabi nya at sa pagsigaw nya. But I still answered him. "Atty. they are suffering too, okay. The-" he cutted me off on what I was saying.

"Its not! Miss Garcia. Yes, they are suffering too by their own self but they are free. And how about you?! Are you a saint?! You have a right to loathed them, Miss Garcia" he said angrily and somehow I also notice that there is a dissapointment on me? Or it just my imagination?

I'm watching him in his every move. He was takenly back on what he said and then he sighed. "I'm sorry in the way I acted but I will not sorry on about I was said." He said in his calm voice and his face is stoic like his usual face expression unlike earlier his voice are in pitch and the few veins are all over in his face and neck. And then he left me.

I still hear the sound of the door when he closed it and I turn around on where he came out. Then, wala sa sariling lumabas ng interrogation room at bumalik sa labas.

Tuloy tuloy lang akong naglakad kung saan ko iniwan ang mga kasama ko at napatigil lang ako ng tumunog ang pamilyar sa akin. At napatingin ako sa labas hapon na pala at doon ko lang naisip na ang tagal pala namin sa loob.

"Prrrrttttt!!!! No.2047, bakit nandito ka pa sa labas?!"

Nagulat ako sa ingay ng pito at sa lakas ng boses na tumawag sa akin at unti unti kong nilingon ang head ng lady guard na sobrang familiar sa akin. Napangiwi lang ako sa kanya at nag-sorry tsaka ako umakyat at sumunod naman sya sa akin.

Nakalimutan kong curfew na pala dapat pala umakyat na ako, ayoko pa naman maparusahan nun, istrikta daw yun eh sabi ni Ate Kikay. "Oh nandyan ka na pala. Bakit ngayon ka lang dumating? Curfew na ah, nahuli ka ba?"

Napatingin ako sa nagtanong at si Ate Bob ang bumungad sa akin at nakatingin. "Ahh, ngayon lang po kami natapos ni Atty eh." Sagot ko sa kanya at lumapit sa higaan ko at umupo. Nagkumpulan sa harap ko sila Ate Rosa at Ate Tonia. "At ahh nakita din ako ng head lady guard eh"
