Case closed. Nakumpirma na si Mikyla nga ang may gawa no'n, hindi sila umorder dahil ang tumbler na ininuman ng biktima ay galing kay Mikyla. Inilagay niya ang sulfuric acid, cyanide, at sodium hydroxide bago pa man sila magpunta sa canteen kaya't walang ebidensya dahil sa bahay niya iyon isinagawa. But the police already went to their house and confirmed that there are containers there that are containing such chemicals, kung saan 'yon ang mga nakaw na produkto ng tatay niya mula sa Xhemic Company na pagmamay-ari ng daddy ni Aria.

Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) can dissolve human body within a day, pero mas tumapang at naging mabilis ang epekto nito dahil hinaluan pa ito ng sodium hydroxide na isa ring dissolvent, plus the cyanide that can poison and cause death.

"I think none of us won on that deduction, Eddy," si Clark habang pinapanood ang SOCO na ilagay ang bangkay sa stretcher.

The victim's body almost melt dahil sa tagal dumating ng mga pulis at medical team. As of now, hindi pa makukulong si Aria dahil minor pa, but his father would be in jail for illegally keeping ang burglary of the chemicals from the Xhemic Com.

"Yeah. Thanks to you Ms. Cy and to your friend," ani Edison..

"I'm Justine, Justine Coronel."

"Alam mo, pamilyar ka sa'kin Ms. Cy." saad ni Clark habang matiim na nakatingin sa'kin.

Edison nodded, "Did we already met before?"

I fixed my eyeglass, "Honestly, kayo din pamilyar sa'kin. Pero 'di ko rin maalala kung saan ko kayo nakita eh." I smiled genuinely. "But I think, I'm getting there."

"Baka sa tabi-tabi lang, o baka kamukha lang ni cyst," sabad ni Justine. Halos hugis puso na ang mga mata habang nakatingin kay Khael. Urgh, I can't blame him, Clark is hanzome! But not my type, Justine's type.

"Hey Lopez and Calupio," a baritone voice behind made us hunchbacked.

"Goodnoon Detective Bert," Edison and Clark greeted the man.

"Gusto lang sana naming malaman kung nasa'n ka sa mga oras na iyon, according to our investigation, there are traces of your fingerprints on the crime scene," ani isang batang lalaki na nasa labingtatlo ang edad.

It was them. Silang dalawa 'yung batang lalaki na pinagdudahan ako, na ako raw ang pumatay sa pamilya ko.

"And we also saw you on the CCTV footage heading towards your house around 9pm, and the crime happened as the time after you entered your house..." dagdag pa ng isang batang lalaki na katabi ng naunang nagsalita.

Edison Calupio. Clark Lopez. And Bert.
The three detectives who investigated the case of my family...

"Edison, Clark, mas mabuti pang hayaan nyo na kami, malamang ay traumatized siya dahil sa nangyari, 'wag niyo na munang biglain." Ani Detective Bert, nagtinginan sila Edison at Clark saka tumango...

What a small world.

IT'S already afternoon, class was dismissed and there are only few students here. Nandito ako sa gate kasama si Justine na panay ang pindot sa kanyang cellphone

"Una na'ko cyst! Meron pa kasi akong part-time eh, alam mo na, sariling kayod." pagpapaalam ni Justine saka ngumiti ng matamis sa akin. Sumakay na siya ng trycicle kasama ng iba pang mga estudyanteng nag-aantay. Kumaway pa siya sa'kin hanggang sa unti-unti ng mawala sa paningin ko ang trycicle na sinasakyan niya.
