I was sitting in a four corner of a room. There’s a man in front of me asking some questions.
“Bakit mo sila pinatay?” The police man said.
“I didn’t kill them” I am telling him the truth but I think he’s not believing me.
“Ms. Elena, isa na lang po ang tanong ko. Wag niyo na po ito patagalin.”
“Bakit mo SILA pinatay?” pag ulit niya sa tanong.
“I did not kill them.” I said in low tone.
“Please, Miss Elena wag na po natin pahirapan ang sarili—“
“Yeah right, Ayoko na sila pahirapan. Ayoko na maramdaman nila ang sakit na paulit ulit nilang nararamdaman so that they begged.”
“Begged to finish their pain. So I didn’t kill them. They did not kill themselves.”
“The society does.” ending our conversation.
