The Alphabet Killer

-32-

IT'S A sad day for everyone, ngayon na ang libing ni Ellouise. I became so fucking weak, hindi ako nakatulog kagabi dahil ito na ang last day na hindi ko na siya makikita.

I just wore all black, nakashades rin ako. I don't want them seeing me in my weakness state. I thought our love will be all fun and colorful, pero tangina. Hindi pala

We weren't ready seeing your casket being rolled down, they will pay for what they did.

No one can mess with my family, I will strip down all the hardwork they did. They will pay.

Seeing my kids crying in front of your casket, hurts me. Hindi tayo nabuo, Hindi ko nalaman kaagad na pinagbubuntis mo ang ating kambal, kung nalaman ko lang sana hindi na kita papakawalan pa

Kahit may mga nagawa pa akong mali dati, "it's hard to see this, honey. Balak pa kitang pakasalan eh" I whispered to myself

"Papa, halika na daw po." My daughter came up to me and hold my hand, naiiyak ako. Gusto kong ibuhos lahat

Karma ko na siguro ito, pero bakit ang lala ng karma ko? Why did you take her back, ikakasal pa kami sa harapan mo, we will speak our vows to each other.

"It's not your fault, it's the bad guys fault that mama died" Sabi ng anak kong babae "mama is now resting, papa."

"Here, pa. I found this sa drawer ni mama" May binigay na memory card si Aikros saakin

I walk with them to the car, and drove us where she will be buried.

I grabbed a microphone to make such speech, "salamat sa pakikiramay niyong lahat." I thanked them

"I've caused her pain, a lot of pain. Hinintay ko siya for 12 years, 12 years of that I became successful for her, for a future family with her. Pero in that 12 years di ko alam na buntis pala siya, she dealt with the pain of giving birth to our twins. Ang gago kong boyfriend at tatay, I tried and tried to find her years ago kasi nga nababaliw na ako kasi di ko mahanap siya" Tears were pouring out of my eyes, i started breathing heavily

"She became successful by being an architect, that was her dream job hindi ung maging sekretarya ko, kasi nga anlandi ko daw. Lagi ko daw siyang nilalandi" I chuckled softly nung maalala ko un

"She can rest now, it's time for her to rest. Away from pain"

I looked up at the sky, "honey, I love you. Gabayan mo kami ng mga anak natin, I'll be a good father."

People gave there speech about Ellouise, ung mga memories nila kasama siya. The time came when it's time to roll down the casket

Ang mga bata umiiyak, and trying to stop the men who were lowering her casket, I just hold on to them and cried silently

You are free from pain, honey. I love you.

A MONTH has gone by, wala pa ring move about destroying Parker's company and Leanna's father company. Dapat di ko isama ung kompanya ng tatay ni Leanna, pero hindi eh. They killed her.

"Hey, man" Bungad ni Attorney Martinez nung makapasok sa opisina ko, "you look so ruthless in that outfit"

"How's the work I assigned you to do?" I said without emotion

Binuksan niya ang TV, Tinuro niya ito ng may ngisi sa labi niya, "the Diaz company is slowly falling to their doom, ang mga investor nila ay inaalis lahat ng investment nila."

"Anong masasabi niyo sa nangyayari sa kompanya niyo, Mr. Diaz" Tanong ng reporter kay Parker, pero ang mga body guard naman nito ay tinutulak ang reporter

Inoff ko ang TV, inusod nito ang file na hawak niya. "Basahin mo yan, you will see Leanna's background. I did some background check sa mga hayop na yan eh"

"I already know the background of the Diaz Family, involved sila sa mga drugs cases. I killed one of his brother, kaya siguro naghiganti ang bobo" I said boredly at nilaro ang phone

Tumango tango si Attorney Martinez at inexcuse na ang sarili, it's just the first move of my revenge.

I remember the memory card na binigay ni Aikros saakin, di ko pa un nabubuksan. I put the card inside a card reader tas isinaksak ito sa laptop ko

Madami siyang files, may mga names ang files like The Twins 1st birthday, The Twins 1st word, etc.

Then the last file ay walang pangalan, tuldok lang ito. I clicked it first. May video dun. I clicked it.

It was a video of Ellouise, nasa may banyo siya, inaayos nito ang pang video. Umupo na dito, she smiled awkwardly in front of the camera then wave

"Hey, I'm Ellouise Aira Sanchez, 30 years old. If you see this I might be dead, may nagsabi kasi saakin na if I went back to my old work, I will die. Pero dahil sa ang tigas ng ulo ko, pinagdesisyunan ko wag paniwalaan un, I wish na di un mangyari kasi may mga anak pa ako, their father doesn't even know they exist. Tumago ako eh, I was scared of him. He killed my mom, pero sa puso ko I already forgave him."

Di ko na tinapos ito, I already missed her enough. It's time to stop torturing myself.

DAY BY day the news was all about the Gavin Enterprise and Diaz Company. They are all down.

Halos lumipad ung pinto ng opisina ko, niluwa nito si Leanna crying. I smirked and lean in the table

"Why are you doing this!" Tanong nito habang umiiyak, I chuckled

"I'm liking the show, Leanna."

"Walang ginagawa sayo si Dad!" Halos mag wala na ito

Tumayo ako at sumama ang mukha "but you did something, because of you. Namatay ang pinakamamahal ko."

She froze and stopped crying, I'm liking the show of them being poor, I won't harm them. But maybe their success

"Ma'am, you are under arrest for the murder of Ellouise Aira Sanchez" Sabi ng police nung makapasok sa opisina ko

They cuffed her, at mukhang kasama pa nila si Parker, I smiled at the officer.

I got my revenge for you, honey.
