Therrie's Thirty Days of Temperamental Cycle

Chapter 26: Hopelessness

With the incident regarding what happened to the stuff is still being ruled out, Therrie is confident that they wouldn't find out that she was the one who put the man to his own death. The only thing she wished was that when the staff has been sent into the emergency, he won't be alive because, at that point, Therrie's plan will just put herself into jeopardy.

But when they've heard that they couldn't survive the staff, they are blind as hell to figure out how did the victim die—that's what they believed. The staff was the victim and the suspect is one of the patients, but the authorities couldn't point out and give conclusions directly when some of their information isn't concrete and did not help at all.

But there's one person who keeps her head believed that this is done by just one person—her guess, Therrie Tenorio.

All patients are still being questioned, for the second time around, Therrie hasn't been called, but she already knew in her head what to say and all the potential questions that the authorities would ask. If she already weaved words inside he head then she can start playing this back to them. One way to turn it all upside down.

Saglit lamang ay may kumatok sa pinto ng kwarto ni Therrie. Sinilip niya ito at isang staff ang bumungad sa kanya.

"Ikaw na ang sunod. Kauusapin ka na. Sumunod ka na sa akin," utos nito kay Therrie.

She followed her and not too long before they finally reached the room where they would be interrogating her. Alam naman ni Therrie na hindi ito tanong lang. They are looking for someone who did it—who might've killed that staff and if they've proved that one of the patients is responsible for the death of staff in this facility, it would not be good.

It wasn't always good.

"Therrie, pumasok ka na," pag-uulit ng babae nang huminto at matulala na lamang ang dalaga sa tapat ng pinto.

"Ah... okay..." mahina niyang usal at sumunod papasok sa loob.

Pagpasok ni Therrie sa loob ng kwarto na siyang ginawang pribado upang kung sino man ang magbalak na may gawing masama o hindi kanais-nais ay mabilis itong maaksyunan. Hindi lang ang biglaang pagkamatay ng staff ang tinitingnan ng mga otoridad. Isa na rito ang sunog na nangyari noong nakaraang araw sa canteen. They thought it could rule out as a same thing.

Pero ang mas ikinagulat ni Therrie na hindi lang ang pulis at ang doctor ang makasasama niya. Hernan was also there. He's not expecting to see him today or ever will kaya nang tumalikod si Therrie at sinubukang lumabas ng kwarto ay hinarangan ng staff ang daanan niya.

"Hindi maganda ang pakiramdam ko, babalik na ako sa kwarto..." pagdadahilan nito.

Ngunit walang nakinig sa rason ni Therrie.

"Therrie," pagtawag sa kanya ni Doctor Carmona. "Please have a seat. Mabilis lang 'to. It won't take us too long. The police just needed to talk with you once more and then it'll be over."

Walang nagawa si Therrie kung hindi ang sumunod sa utos ng doctor. As if she has the power to ignore her, she would do it every single second. She doesn't have a clue why her ex-boyfriend would be present at this point. Ang naaalala lamang ni Therrie ay makipagtutulungan ito sa mga doctor ayon sa magiging takbo ng sitwasyon ng dalaga. That's the only thing she knew so she doesn't understand what's the point of being here if the situation isn't about her.

Or maybe he knew?

"Anong ginagawa mo rito, Hernan?" tanong ni Therrie.

"Oh!" Tawa pa ng binata saka ito napangisi. "Would you mind first, doc and sir?" he asked, getting permission from them. Tumango naman ang dalawa at natuon ang atensyon ng lahat kay Hernan. "I know you'll be surprised to hear this, but I'm a part of the board of directors now. And I'm their representative here."
