Hello, Ms. Stalker

Chapter 35

- Culprit -

Mas madali pang mag-alaga ng infant kaysa alagaan si Yuwen. He have so much utos. Plus, lakas pa ng tama. 

"Ali," He called me again. Its already 4:00 am in the morning, hindi pa din siya natutulog. 

I inhaled a large amount of air then exhaling it slowly, trying to calm myself. "Ano na naman?" Sinubukan kong magtunog malumanay ang boses ko upang itago ang pagkainis. 

"Do you still love me kahit ganito itsura ko? My face is full of bruises." He turned his head on me. 

I was lying on the couch, facing him. 

"Hindi. Ayoko sa pangit." Diretso kong sagot saka ipinikit ang mata, trying to sleep. 

"Ouch, hindi ako natamaan."

Hindi ko na siya pinansin pa. I buried my head under my pillow to avoid hearing his voice pero hindi pa rin siya nagpatinag sa pangungulit sa akin. Can't he see that I'm not in the mood for this?!

"I have chika-"

Bumangon ako, frustrated. "Manahimik ka, punyeta. Magpatulog ka, Yuwen." Maldita kong sabi sa kaniya.

"Oh My--" OA niyang reaction. "Sabi kasi tabi ka nalang sa akin e... ayan tuloy, you can't sleep."

"Anong konek ha anong konek?!" Hinagis ko sa kaniya iyong unan ko. Wala na din namang point ang pagtulog ko tutal umaga na at nawala na din ang will ng mata kong matulog dahil sa pisting lalaking ito. 

Bumangon ako. I grabbed my wallet and phone sa may table at saka lumabas ng hospital room niya nang walang paalam. I heard him shouting my name, calling me, but I ignored him. 

I went out of the hospital to get something for us, breakfast. Nagtungo ako sa pinakamalapit na fast food restaurant to get a breakfast meal takeout. Binilhan ko na din si Axle at Chester kasi for sure later, nandoon na naman sila sa hospital room ni Yuwen. 

While I'm on my way back, I recieved a message from Sabrina.

sabrinayumi: tara gala bitch

Nagtype ako agad ng reply habang naglalakad.

alisalvador: tignan ko pa if may time aq madam

sabrinayumi: hoy, kaya nga may 1 and a half week break tayo para magpahinga tapos andiyan ka sa hospital, inaalagaan si yuwen? may kayo te? wow, bat di kami informed?

alisalvador: oo mamaya labas tayo g ako.

alisalvador: okay na ba madam?

sabrinayumi: ofc. see yah. sunduin ka namin around 7 pm.

Pagdating ko, tama lang ang inaasahan ko. Inilapag ko ang biniling takeout sa may center table at naupo sa couch. 

"Good job, Yuwen. Because of you, the PR department have another mess they need to clean."

"I know right."

"Proud?"  

"Anyway, the whole gang is detained now. Alice called, they have a lead suspect on Ali's case."

"Drop the name of that asshole."

"Nathan Alejandro. They confirmed it kanina lang. Every evidences they've got plus the one's you gave them, all of it points only to one person, Nathan."

Rinig kong usapan nila.

"Gusto mo yata magka--diabetes si Yuwen." Puna niya, natatawa. 

Hindi ko napansin that I keep on adding and adding sachets of sugar on Yuwen's drink. 

I cleared my throat before talking. "I brought breakfast pala, let's eat." Aya ko sa dalawa. 

Hawak ang drink na nalagyan ko ng sobrang asukal, naglakad ako papunta sa trashcan to throw it away. 

Sinetup ko ang bed table ni Yuwen for him to eat. "Sa wakas, I can finally eat."

"Says the one who didn't listen to his doctor who told him na he's not allowed to eat at fasting siya but still ate." Pambabara ko. 

"Grapes lang naman."

Kinitusan ko siya dahil sa tigas ng ulo niya. "Kahit na. You should listen to your doctor's order always." I scolded him. 

Tigas ng ulo ng bwisit.

Inilagay ko ang pagkain niya sa bed table niya so he can feed himself. Ibinigay ko na din sa kaniya iyong coffee ko. 

"No, this is yours." Hindi niya tinanggap iyong coffee. 

"But I messed up your drink." 

"Its okay. I'm not in the mood to drink coffee right now. I'm okay na sa pancakes. You can have this." Iniaabot ni Yuwen sa akin iyong coffee. 

I couldn't say no because I wanted to have coffee kaya kinuha ko na, he insisted e.

Habang busy akong nagliligpit ng mga kalat at basura, mga pinagkainan namin, umalis ng room sina Axle at Chester leaving me with Yuwen alone.

"Ali," He called me in a serious tone.

Himala.

"Why?" Iniwanan ko ang ginagawa ko at saka nilapitan siya, giving him my full attention.

"You heard everything kanina, hindi ba?"

Tinanguan ko siya.

"What gusto mong gawin? Magsasampa ka ba ng kaso?" Tanong niya.

"Yes." I answered.

Nathan deserves to be in jail. I don't want him to have more victims. Dapat magtanda siya sa ginawa niyang kagaguhan.

I still have this anger on him for taking away my privacy. I mean, hindi pa ba sapat iyong statement at interview namin last last month with him? Hindi ba niya natanong lahat? If not then he should've set up another meeting with us, in a proper way at hindi iyong magse-set up siya ng dirty things just to have a catch.

It makes me think if ginawa din ba niya ito sa ibang mga celebrities? Just for him to have a great name when it comes to reporting something, gano'n ang gagawin niya?! That's absurd.

He's worst than a stalker itself.

"Then I'll contact our family lawyer to inform him na tuloy ang kasi." He suddenly reached for my hand to kiss it. "Everything will be okay... I promise."

"Thank you, Yuwen."

Yuwen insisted to go in the trial. He's in a wheelchair, watching me give my statement as the lawyer of the defendant questions me.

After the trial, lumitaw ang iba pang nabiktima ni Nathan. They talked to me privately with Mr. Colindres, my lawyer, to help me sa pagsasampa ng kaso kay Nathan.

After 2 trials, Nathan Alejandro pleaded guilty of the crime he committed and was sentenced to jail for years.
