Pagkapasok ko pa lang ng club, agad na bumungad sa'kin si Ajax. He was holding a bouquet of flowers. Wala talaga akong planong pumunta rito, nang naalala ko na kailangan kong magpaalam kay Mr. Ivaldez kung saan ngayon si Doyle, I came here. Hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa siya nakabalik, but we are still messaging on the messenger. Nakakagulat nga dahil hanggang ngayon ay buhay pa siya. Kidding aside, I'm very glad that he is still alive.

"Mi esposa, flowers for you. I've been thinking about you and missed you these past few days." Inabot niya sa'kin ang bulaklak, the flowers are pink roses. I'm not going to lie, the pink roses' fragrance lingers through my nose. "Where have you been?" Tanong niya.

Tinanggap ko naman iyon at sinagot siya kasabay ng pagpatuloy sa paglalakad patungo kay Mr. Ivaldez at siya'y nilampasan. "Somewhere." Malamya kong tugon.

Napansin ni Mr. Ivaldez na papunta ako sa kanya, kung kaya't tumigil ito sa pagbabasa ng libro saka humarap sa'kin. "Do you need something?" Inunahan na niya ako sa pagsasalita.

"About Doyle, hindi pa siya makakapasok. Mayroon siyang inaasikaso tungkol sa problema ng pamilya niya, he needs to be there." I lied. He was actually investigating kung saan nila dadalhin ang aking ama. As of now, he said that the Herald Mortiferum hasn't moved their piece yet.

"Is that so? I understand, I want to ask you why but I don't want to be nosy," aniya saka napakamot ng ulo.

"He doesn't even tell me what kind of family problem they're trying to fix, he just informed me about that," dagdag ko pa. Bumalik na siya sa pagbabasa at ako nama'y napatingin sa attendance list ng club.

Harley is always absent.

The club president will surely ask about his absences.

Napatingin ako sa isang sulat na nakapatong sa mesa ni Doyle. Dinakma ko ito saka ibinuklat para basahin. What if this is about the club? He is not here, so I have to take care of what's happening in the club.

Agad na napakunot ang noo ko. I didn't expect that Doyle was going to receive an admiration letter. An admiration letter that could fall into the category of a love letter. Why is that kid receiving such a letter? Also, why would someone fall in love with a boy like him? Unbelievable!

To my love, my dearest Doyle Raj Carpio. I've been admiring you since the first day of class, how glad I am that someone helped me find my missing phone. You are such a kindhearted soul, very cute, and the most handsome man in my eyes.

I've been secretly following you. Did you notice? Everything you do excites me. Each day you talk about the things you like, especially about solving mysteries and crimes, and it excites me too. I know you've been wondering who's the one sending you messages from an unknown account. It's me, my love. It's me, no one loves you more than I do. As I said in my messages, I'll do anything to make you happy. So, don't you dare leave me alone. Especially when I found out that in your club you have two girl members, what did they do to you? I hope they did nothing, but I've noticed that you are always with that pretty girl.

Who is she? Why are you always with her?

Anyways, as if you like her. I know the only girl who captured your heart is me. I'll make you mine, so be ready.

Your admirer, Maya.

Pagkatapos kong binasa iyon, ibinalik ko ito kung saan ko iyon nakalagay. The letter is obviously not only to admire him, but also shows obsession, delusion, and possessiveness. She is very aware that he doesn't like her, but according to the letter, she will do anything. I have a bad feeling that I will be in trouble if Doyle doesn't confront this girl.
