"As what I've mentioned before, it's not about hiding this time, Tito Dimensio. Again, it is possible that what she's doing right now is taking that chance for her to escape. Who knows what she really feels inside? No one can tell. It's a bit tricky for us to know. Daunting," mahabang paliwanag ni Doux sa pagtatapos ng kanilang pag-uusap.
They're now already told their Titos about the note that was sent to ZyZy.
"My thoughts are parallel with Doux, Tito. Noon pa man ay naiisip ko na rin 'yan," sagot naman ni Khliz.
"Mukhang may kakaibang katalinuhan any estudyante kong si ZyZy, ah?" Khliz' mom suddenly smirked as she speaks.
Yes, she's also with them. The moment Doux informed his father about a glimpse of what happened, little did they know, their Tito Dimensio also asked for Khrissy to come over. That's why Khliz' mom is there.
At first, she was surprised to see her mom. But then, their Tito Dimensio immediately explained why he requested for Khrissy's presence.
Khliz Oddete frowned and secretly whispered. "Mom, take this seriously. Stop connecting ZyZy's intelligence as a student, please."
"Am I?"
"Mom!" she hissed.
"You don't get it, my dear daughter. I'm just stating certain facts that can lead you all to know how my claim could be possible."
Naguguluhang tumingin ang lahat sa ina ni Khliz. Muli siyang nagsalita.
"Can you read the note again for us, Doux, iho?"
The man nodded and followed.
"'Pinapasabi ng Ate Peur niyo na huwag niyo na siyang isipin at hanapin. Ituon na lamang ang buong atensyon sa inyong pag-aaral.'. That's all, Tita."
"There's a spy on the mansion where the children are staying," Khrissy's claim made everyone frowned.
Even the old Guillaume who's been quiet all the time is now looking at her with disagreement.
"A spy?" Dimensio's voice echoed.
"Iyo," Oo. Tumango siya.
"What do you mean of spy?"
"Spy. Espiya. Ano ba naman 'tong si Dimensio," nakangiwing sagot ni Khrissy.
Napailing na lamang si Khliz sa kapilosopohan ng ina. Ngunit sa isang banda ay sinagot lamang nito ang tanong ng kaniyang Tito Dimensio. Kung siya ang tinanong nito ay ganoon din ang isasagot niya. Mag-ina nga sila.
"What I mean is what type of spy he or she is? Did that spy will bring harm to the children?" Dimensio frustratingly asked.
Mas lalo lamang napangiwi si Khrissy sa narinig. Even Khliz. Sa isip ng mag-ina ay tila hindi tama o akma ang mga ginagamit ni Dimensio na salita para sa kaniyang nais makuhang sagot.
"I don't know," kunot-noo, kibit balikat na sagot ni Khrissy.
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"Hindi naman ako ang espiya. Paano ko masasagot ang tanong mo?" pabalang pang sagot nito.
Palihim na lamang na napa-buntong hininga ang mga naroon bukod kay Khliz na sumasang-ayon sa ina.
