"He is a cannibal"I'm at the police station right now.
Bakas sa mukha nila ang pagkagulat. "Paano mo nasabi na Cannibal nga ang kapatid mo iho?"
Nanginginig akong naupo sa silyang nasa gilid ko. "Hayaan ninyong ikuwento ko sa inyo ang lahat...
I have a twin brother. He have this some kind of phobia that makes him doesn't want to go out during day time. So our parents decided na mag home school nalang dahil yoon ang makakabuti sa kaniya.
Despite of that, everyone still loves him. Everyone adore him for being handsome and smart. Ideal guy kung tawagin nila." Huminto ako at ngumiti habang nakatingin sa kawalan.
"Aaminin ko, naiinggit ako sa kaniya. Do I decided to take the spotlight awat from him. Nagpakitang gilas ako sa lahat. I work hard just to be everyone's center attention. Naging matagumpay ako. Masaya ako dahil wala na sa kaniya ang atensiyon ng lahat.
Then a bad news came. Sabi ng psychologist ng kakambal ko ay depressed siya. Guilt hit me so bad. I should've just consider him lalo na at ganoon ang kondisyon niya sa buhay." Napabuntong hininga ako at bahagyang yumuko.
"One day when I was about to apologize to my brother when I heard a loud noise inside his room. It sounds like someone having trouble breathing. I thought it was him kaya naman binuksan ko kaagad ang pinto and there I saw..." Ramdam ko ang pagtulo ng luha ko.
"M-My Mom! Some of her body parts were missing. Hihingi na sana ako ng tulong nang makita ko sa harapan ko ang kakambal ko. His clothes were stained red. He's eating my Mom's meat mercilessly.
Naaalala ko pa noong gabing iyon, sabi niya saakin ay papatayin niya ako kapag nagsalita ako. That's why I chose to pretend like nothing happened. And earlier I saw him killing our father!"
"Pwede mo bang ibigay saamin ang address ninyo para ma-check nam--"
Sinenyasan ko siyang maupo. "Hushh~ I'm not done yet!"
"P-Pero baka mapano ang tatay mo-"
Marahas kong kinalampag ang table na nasa harap ko. "He's probably dead by now, sir. Let me finish my story first."
Ngumiti ako nang nakitang sumunod siya saakin. "Are you familiar with plot twist, sir?"
They all just gave me the confused look.
"Well, it is a shocking part of a story, sir. So therefore, in this story we also have a plot twist." I smirked.
"W-What's the twist?"
Dahan-dahan akong tumayo at lumapit sa kaniya para bumulong.
"And then I realize, I was just watching my own reflection the whole time. My twin brother is me, sir"
