When The Killer Falls In Love

Chapter 02

WARNING⚠:This Chapter contains sexual words.

He took off his school tie while walking through the kitchen. Sumunod naman kami ni Julian.

"So, Lad, na surprise ka ba? Hihih"
-agik-ik ni Julian.

He took off his uniform and look at us boredly while spilling the hot water in a cup.

"Certainly. Did Akira told you my address? I thought we're going out on a date, didn't I tell you?"

Gosh! His accent!

"But it's raining. Can we spend our time here?"

"Of course. I have no objection. Here, have a cup of coffee."

Kanina pa ako lingon ng lingon dito. Normal lang ba sa isang bahay na malaki at marangya na walang kahit anong nakasabit na photo frame sa pader or kahit naka lagay man lang sa ibabaw ng cabinet? Isa lang din ang nakikita kung cabinet sa malawak na sala patungong kitchen. Iyong cabinet lang na nilalagyan ng sari-saring sapatos ni Lad. May business shoes pa siya which made me think that, is he a businessman? Though he's over 22 and graduating siguro hindi na bago. Wala ba siyang family? Hindi ba niya nakilala family niya? Kasi kahit ni katiting na pictures wala akong matanaw.

It's still raining outside.

Nilingon ko si Julian at hutangina naka patong na kay Lad Dojun. They are kissing! His sharp playful gaze run to me while kissing her. A cold feeling rise up to me. I took off my sight to them and heard Julian's moan. Humanap nalang ako ng mauupuan. But Suddenly, the stairs caught my attention.

"I wonder kung anong nasa itaas"
-sambit ko sa sarili.

I dismissed the thought and roam my eyes at the living room. Rinig na rinig ko ang pagka balibag ni Julian at ang ungol niya mula sa kitchen.

"Ohh! God! Ugh~ Dojun!"

He's quite rough huh.

Akala ko date? Sexdate ba yun? Tas ako third wheel? Walang hiya hahahahaha! Anyway, I was now looking at the black note, binuksan ko iyon and see some private files. Out of curiosity, binasa ko ang mga ito.

"Lad Dojun Wade..."

Napakunot ang noo ko at pilit na inintindi ng nakasulat. Chineck ko kung legit ba and surprisingly, it's legitimate. He is a businessman, namana niya sa Papa. His father died, found dead at the forest, his mother got missing three years ago and still no sign of her alive body... What?? Just what the heck??!

"Oh fvck! Oh harder! Aahh aahh ahh, take it slowl- ahhh!!"

Ang ingay naman ni Julian!

Binasa ko ang ibang pahina.

His father died in poisoning.

He overdosed himself?? But why?

The photos shows some of his father's numerous stabbed at the chest, abdomen, and multiple cuts at the back and nape. I know he's a son pero bakit may ganito siyang mga pictures? Bawal ito kahit pa na sa biktima. Ang mga ganitong larawan ay mananatiling nakatago sa pulisya. At kung na report na nagpakamatay ang papa bakit ang daming saksak?

*blag!*

"Uughh!! Shit! There!"
-Julian screamed in pleasure.

I was about to sit when I heard a wicked woman's voice.
"Hello there, lovely girl. Hihihih!"

Nagsi taasan ang balahibo ko at napalingon sa hagdanan paitaas.

Kaninong boses 'yun?? Tatlo lang kami dito ah? May iba pa bang kasama dito si Dojun?

Nagsi-lakihan ang mga mata ko nung may marinig akong mumunting hikbi doon. Nag-haharumentado ang puso ko sa gulat at pangamba. Nanlalaking mata akong humarap sa madilim na hagdanan dala ang nginig sa buong katawan.

Rinig ko pa ang palakas na ungol ni Julian.

Tahimik pero nagmamadali akong pumanhik sa hagdan. Agad akong sinalubong ng malamig na hangin. Naka sarado naman sana yung mga bintana. The thunder rumbled and lightning striked. Taranta tuloy akong napatakbo sa itaas na kay dilim. All doors were closed. There are only three rooms. It's horribly quite. At kahit na dito walang pictures kahit man lang painting.

Pilit kung hinanap 'yung hikbi pero talagang tahimik!

Pumasok ako sa naiibang kulay na pinto and to no surprise, it's a room. It's fresh cold and it smells so manly. I bet this is his room. Kahit paman dito ay naririnig ko ang ungol ni Julian.

I ran my fingers through the wall. Tracing each of its perfection. It is so simple. The walls are painted in black. Just like that.

Nakuha ng atensiyon ko ang malaking painting sa malapad na dingding.

Patuloy ko pa ring dinadagan ang kamay sa pader. It's thick and hard not until when I saw the painting nearer in me. As the thunder rumbled, the electricity turned off. I press the frame of the painting and the wall, and it's sticky!

Dali-dali kung kinuha mula sa bulsa ang phone ko at nagbigay flashlight. Press ako ng press sa pader at painting. Wala talagang cement. Hinanap ko kung may mapagbubuksan ba. Taranta akong naghahanap baka mahuli ako. I don't know why, I'm just being curious. Something is off.

Napaatras ako nung may maamoy akong kakaiba.

Ang baho!

*ting!*

My phone got a message. Tinignan ko at galing kay papa.

"Remember the mayor's daughter?"

You mean, Leyna?

I typed.
"Yes. Why?"

"I haven't told you about it but she's been missing for three months."

What??

A curiosity filled my head. Confused of what happened to her. Nag-uusap pa kami noon sa simbahan, his father reported to my father at the middle of the dawn, his daughter cannot be trace anymore and didn't come home after the holy mass. And up until now, no one knows where she is, sandal nalang niya yung natira...

"Shall I help your father to find out?"

Gulat akong napalingon at bumalibag sa lakas ng sampal.
