Mysteries 27

"Kulang pa," I said to myself as I eat my breakfast the next morning.

It hurts me a lot to watch Zachary crying to me last night. I didn't expect it, sino ba ang mag aakalang iiyak si Zachary? I know him being bold, strong and fearless... pero kagabi kitang kita ko na nahihirapan na sya; na ako ang kahinaan nya.

"Anong kulang?" takang tanong ni Iska sa biglaang pag sasalita ko.

"Kulang pa lahat ng mga nangyayare..." I sighed. "I don't want him to focus on how to protect me... I want him to protect himself too."

"What do you mean? Alam naman siguro ni Zach na—"

"I have a feeling that he'll take the blame."

"Huh?! Paano mo nasabi?"

I saw it in his eyes last night... I badly want to say but I refused to. Huminga lang ako ng malalim at umiwas ng tingin. I can't stop thinking how Zachary cried to me, sobrang sakit talaga sa puso at dahil doon ay hindi ako mapakali.

I want to do something.

"I need to do something."

I spent my morning planning on how to get things under my control. I didn't contact my parents because I don't want to drag them into what I'm planning kaya sila Patricia nalang ang tinawagan ko.

My parents boosted my popularity by letting me accept a lot of modeling offers pero alam kong yung mga brand na yun ay nag dadalawang isip na tanggapin ako. Of course, there are a lot of issues about me today and modeling their brands at this time is a total risk because I'm bringing the name of their brands with me.

That's why I called Patricia to ask for guidance, she's my manager after all.

"Are you sure about this?" lagpas sa limang beses na nya akong tinatanong. Halatang kabado rin sya sa pinaplano ko.

"I explained it to you already," I forced a laugh para kahit papaano maibsan ang kabang nararamdaman ko.

She sighed before nodding. "I love this brave side of you, Adhara. Keep it up."

Ngumiti sya saakin kaya gumanti rin ako ng ngiti sakanya. "Thank you, Trish."

She laughed with the nickname I said before bidding her goodbyes dahil aasikasuhin na nya ang sinabi ko because I asked her to contact any reliable reporter for an exclusive interview. It will be live and broadcast in the whole nation just like what I wanted and I'll hold it at home.

Pag katapos ko ay agad akong nag ayos ng madalian para kitain ang private investigator ng aming kompanya na binayaran ko para kumuha ng impormasyon kila Sofia. I drove to the café near this subdivision para iwas rin sa tao.

"Mrs. Ferrell," bati nito pag karating ko at tumayo para kamayan ako. I'm still not used to be called as 'Mrs. Ferrell' kaya panigurado ay namumula ang aking mukha sa kilig.

I returned his gesture and accepted his hand. He politely pointed to the chair gesturing me to sit down.

"Sir Jericho, good afternoon po. Sorry for disturbing you." I said as I sat in front of him.

"No need to apologize, Ma'am. You're paying me fairly." Tumawa ito kaya natawa rin ako. Sabagay.

"I just know you're a busy man." Sagot ko, medyo nahihiya.

We had a small talk bago kami napunta sa dahilan kung bakit kami nag kita.

"Here are all the evidence you need... As you said, I gathered all the things you can use against her." He handed me 3 brown envelopes.
