'DROWNING'

ALTHYS TOKUGAWA

I WOKE up earlier than Art and Shiela told me that someone delivered something in the Tokugawa gate, it wasn't a package but it is a sealed envelope as if there's a confidential files inside.

Dahan dahan kong tinanggal ang pagkakahiga saakin ni Art at pinalitan 'yon ng unan, I had a hard time sleeping last night because he kept on calling his mom in his sleep but it's fine to me because we all have our own trauma.

"Naka-roba kapa din master?" tanong ni Shiela saakin

"Yes, pwede mong lakasan boses mo at soundproof naman 'tong office at 'yung kwarto ko" sabi ko at umupo sa swivel chair ko

"Gusto mo ba mapag-isa master?Or should I stay?" aniya

"Go get some coffee and come back here, sabay nating buksan" sabi ko na agad n'yang sinang ayunan

She get out of my office and it only took her a few minutes to create both of our coffee, kagigising niya lang din pala and deretso agad siya sa work.

"I hope this is not a bad news because we just had a great time last night" komento ko at humigop sa kape na ini-abot saakin ni Shiela

Dama ko namang natigilan siya kaya binigyan ko siya ng nagtatanong na tingin.

"Great time last night.. master?With Master Art?" I tilt my head with my confused look

"Uh yeah?We cuddle together and then we talk about the good old days, isn't that a great time?" tanong ko at halos maibuga niya na ang kape sa katatawa

"'Yan po ba proweba non?" turo niya sa kung ano sa leeg at bandang collarbone ko kaya kinapa ko 'yon

"Saan?Sugat ba??" tanong ko naman

"Master - never mind po, focus nalang tayo diyan sa envelope" aniya kaya kunot noo akong tumango tango

I gently opened the envelope and the first thing I saw really did surprise my whole system, I slowly showed it to Shiela and she look so shock too.This is the file we've been looking for, the case we've been solving after all this years.

"Mother.." I whisper as I felt the emptiness i've been avoiding to feel

Kumikirot ang dibdib ko pero hindi gusto ng sistema ko na umiyak ako,what is wrong with me?

"Telepono master" ani Shiela

Nilingon ko ang telepono at agad na sinagot 'yon, a voice of a man greeted me as soon as I answer the phone call.

[Goodmorning Miss Tokugawa-]

I cut his words off.

"Master, Master Tokugawa"

[My apologies, Master Tokugawa.We would like to invite you for the last meeting with your client, Master Artillery Venizelos]

"What kind of meeting?"
