ELARA'S POV
"Hey, Bali," Wealth called Deva while setting up some birthday decorations for Kahna's late celebration of her 4th birthday this year and welcoming her again at Howard Residence.
"Hmm?" Deva responded while cutting some of the flowers.
"Do you think ate Luana is still alive because they don't find her body yet?" he curiously asked.
Napalingon naman si Deva sa kanya at napabuntong hininga na lang, "How did you know about that thing?"
"Prosecutor Raych Howl, cousin of Kuya Keepers Howl. He was my college friend who handled their case. He told me about it intentionally because he knew I was your friend and needed my help in some tech things for his other cases." Wealth explained.
"Does he mention anything suspicious about the case?" Deva asked.
"One time, I remembered he asked me to help him about the Howard & Howl case, about reviewing the last footage of your cousin and her husband. I only saw kuya Keepers lying on the ground and bathing in his own blood, but ate Luana had gone missing from the footage like magic. And from the autopsy report of kuya Keepers' body, he has some initials on his left upper arm -Hmm, what is it again? I think it was three-letter initials -Oh! It was something like N.T.R." He explained.
"Same initials with recent accidents in Rainbow Academy." Singit ni Ed Asich sa usapan nang dalawang noong hihiramin niya kay Holmes iyong gunting nito, "Pahiram ng gunting, pre."
"That is only our clue from this mission," Neoma stated.
"Is everything settled?" Tita Luna excitedly asked.
"Almost done decorating, Tita," I answered as I looked at her direction.
"Anak, let's fetch your daughter." Sambit naman ni Tita kay Deva.
Tumango lang ito at binilin kay Amaris ang ginagawa niya.
"Polaris, hijo, come with us." Nakangiting anyaya naman ni Tita Luna kay Polaris na tahimik sa isang sulok ng dining area kung saan namin gaganapin ang simpleng salo-salo mamaya.
Iniwan niya rin ang ginagawa niya kay Aten at Saross bago sumama palabas kila tita.
"Nag-aaway ba iyong dalawa?" biglang tanong ni Glyndon sa amin.
"Oo rin, kanina ko pa napapansin na hindi sila nagpapansinan, eh. May problema kaya sila?" Dagdag rin naman ni Orion.
"Baka naman may period si madam boss." Biro naman ni Ophelia, "Amaris, tabingi naman iyong nilalagay mo. Ayusin mo naman!"
"Oo na, ate gurl. Paaano ba dapat? Sabihin mo kasing maayos, makasigaw naman!" komento naman ni Amaris sa sinabi ni Ophelia.
"Maybe, my presence was the problem." Ani Wealth at lumabas sa dining area dahil may tumawag sa kanya.
Napatingin na lang ako sa nakaalis na si Wealth.
"Ang tingin mo, madam." Komento ni Nash sa akin na seryosong nakatingin sa akin.
"Ahem! Lolo Nash niyo, nagseselos sa mas pogi sa kanya!" natatawang banat ni Orion kaya naman hinabol naman siya ni Nash paikot ng dinning table.
"Tingin mo dahil talaga kay Wealth kaya ganoon iyong dalawa?" mahinang tanaong ni Adhara sa tabi ko habang nag-aasikaso sa gifts namin para kay Kahna.
"Posible iyon kasi noong dumating si Wealth kanina ay biglang naghiwalay iyong magkatabi lang na dalawang sweet na sweet at biglang transform to stranger sila. Kawawa nama si papa Aris!" Singit rin ni Titania nang marinig ang usapan naming ni Adhara.
