It's already 1 pm and we just arrived.
Natukoy din namin agad kung saan 'yung camp site kung nasaan sila kasi nakita namin sa bukana ng gubat 'yung university bus at mga police cars.
Gulat naman ang lahat sa pagdating namin.
Lahat sila'y nasa labas ng mga tent nila at ang iba ay kumakain palang ng tanghalian. Nasa gilid lang din at nakatayo 'yung mga pulis at iba pang rescuers samantalang sama samang nakaupo sa iisang lugar 'yung mga profs at may pinaguusapan.
Pare pareho silang hindi makapaniwala sa biglaang pagdating namin ni Rune.
"Bakit kayo nandito?" Bungad na tanong ni sir Lenard.
This dumb ahh professor.
"It doesn't matter anymore sir." Rune answered. "So...when we gonna continue searching for Gwyn and the other one?"
Their eyes widened.
"H-how did you knew." Hindi makapaniwalang sabi ng isa sa mga prof.
"Dare say that to others and we'll kick you out." Banta pa nu'ng isa.
Napangisi naman ako. "Kick us? You think we're afraid y'all do that to us? I can even buy the whole university and fire you all out for doing such dumb things." I said.
Mas lalo silang nagulat sa sinagot ko sa kanila.
"Ang pangit talaga ng ugali n'yong dalawa 'no? Kahit mga profs n'yo sinasagot sagot n'yo na?!" Galit na sabat ni sir Lenard.
"Oo nga naman Ascen? I thought you were kind because sa lahat ng subjects natin nu'ng 1st at 2nd year ka palang e ang tahimik mo at puro pag aaral lang inaatupag?" Another prof said.
"I don't even knew who you are sir." I said.
"Aba wala ka talagang respeto? Mas malala ka pa pala rito sa kaibigan mo eh!" Matatas ang boses na sabi ni sir Lenard.
Napangisi si Rune. "We're talking about lives here and you're still talking about respect? Do you think you guys still deserve that respect after losing 3 students?" Rune asked.
Walang nakasagot sa kanila.
"Balita ko pati 'yung nanay ng namatay sinabihan n'yong inextend lang 'yung camping days hindi 'yung pagkamatay n'ya?" Rune. "Ano 'yon sir? Ibabalik n'yo s'ya sa kanila pag naaagnas na sila? Tsaka kung gusto n'yo talagang irespeto kayo bilang prof, dapat iniintindi n'yo ngayon 'yung lagay ng ibang estudyante. Nasaan na activities n'yo? Imbes na tahimik silang nag aaral ngayon sa uni." Dagdag n'ya.
May isa namang pulis na lumapit sa amin.
"Hindi alam ng parents nung namatay na patay na anak nila?" Takang tanong nito.
"Woah, don't tell me you didn't know about that officer." Rune said.
"We don't." The police said. "Ang sinabi lang nila sa amin ay isasabay nalang nila sa pagbalik sa syudad 'yung bangkay at hayaan muna sa morgue. They even told us that her parents already knew that she's dead." He added.
Wtf?
Hindi nakasagot 'yung mga prof.
"Pwede kayong kasuhan sa ginawa n'yo." The officer told the profs. "Ang akala ko rin e hanggang linggo talaga span ng camping days n'yo kaya sinabi kong last attempt na ngayon."
"We just wanted to find the two students before telling them the truth sir." Sabi ng isa sa mga prof namin.
"That's not right sir, dapat sinabi n'yo na agad 'yung nangyari." The police said. "Baka sasampahan talaga kayo ng kaso sa ginawa n'yo."
"Paano nila sasabihin e takot silang masisi?" Nakangising sabi ni Rune. "Covering themselves huh."
"Stop talking like that to us! We don't stand students that doesn't knew manners!" Sir Lenard exclaimed angrily.
"And we don't stand professors who only think about themselves even when they've lost lives of their students." I said.
Hindi nanaman sila nakaimik.
Mas lalo akong nagkaroon ng rason para gumawa ng paraan sa pagpapaalis sa prof Lenard na 'to. Pero pakiramdam ko ring may need pa akong matuklasan bago gawin 'yon.
"If you don't want us to tell the truth, you have to give your best in finding and do not rest sir." The police said. "Nagtataka na rin kami na kahit wala pang ilang oras ng paghahanap e pinapabalik n'yo na agad kami."
Hindi na maipinta 'yung mga itsura ng mga professors na nandito. Serves them right tho.
"Tingin ko si sir Xen lang 'yung concerned sa dalawang nawawala hindi kayo." Sabi pa ng pulis.
We all looked at Xen. He looks very exhausted. Naaawa na rin ako sa kan'ya. The fact na binilin ko sa kan'ya si Gwyn, baka sobrang pag aalala at effort ginawa n'ya habang naghahanap sa kan'ya.
"Napapagod din naman kami sir." Sabi ng isang prof.
"Pagod?" Rune laughed sarcastically. "If you really are concerned, being tired isn't enough reason." He said. "Just tell us y'all selfish and we'll easily believe."
Mas lalong sumama 'yung tingin sa amin ng mga professors na nandito.
"The kid has a point sir." The police said. "If you really want to find the two students, then we need to move now."
Walang umimik agad.
"But that doesn't mean you guys are already forgiven for what you did." The police said. "Nilagay n'yo pa kami sa sitwasyong pwede kaming masisi and we don't like that, baka kami na mismo ang humuli sa inyo kapag pati 'yung dalawang estudyante ay patay na pag natagpuan."
Nakayuko silang lahat.
"Yes sir." The professors said in chorus.
"Alright, then let's go back."
Agad naman silang nagsikilusan pagkasabi no'n ng pulis. Ang iba'y halos patakbo nang pumasok sa gubat.
"Do we have a network here?" Rune asked Xen.
Naiwan kami rito sa mesa kung saan magkakaharap 'yung mga profs kanina.
"Dito lang sa campsite may signal, sa loob ng forest wala na." Xen answered.
Nilabas naman agad ni Rune 'yung isa n'yang laptop tsaka nilapag sa mesa na gawa sa kahoy.
"What are you trying to do? Hindi na maabot ng range namin 'yung cellphone ni Gwyn so that won't work." Xen said.
Rune just chuckled. "Don't you ever underestimate my hacking skills Xen." He said. "I can even traced you in your grave when you're dead." He added.
Napangisi naman si sir Xen. "Then that's a good news if you really can trace Gwyn."
