MY HUSBAND IS A WOMAN (JENLISA)

7-HIS PERSON

JEORGE POV

"As we all remember, from 2019 we started investigating this mysterious and brutal serial killing.. Ginagawa ng killer ang pagpatay taon-taon at ginagawa lamang iyon sa saktong buwan ng Marso..we already have 5 same cases for the last 5years, and this year..sigurado ako that the suspect will strike again"

Inside the wide and dim conference room, Agassi standing in front of a 72 inches TV hangs on the wall, discussing the case na patuloy parin naming iniimbistigahan sa loob ng limang taon.

Everyone on the investigation team except Hira and Zeichin, we gathered for a crucial meeting and rendezvous.

Agassi's finger hovers over the remote control before pressing it decisively, unveiling a series of haunting images, depict a lifeless woman, body drenched in their own blood, face and other body parts disfigured in a manner that makes my stomach churn.

"Under our previous investigation... In 2019, the first victim was Chou Tzuyu, a Korean-Filipina model who suffered a brutal 25 stab wounds to her body and alongside the victim's corpse, we found 25 pieces of tranquility white roses, a terrifying signature... in 2020, the second victim sustained 26 fatal stabs, and again the corpse accompanied by a matching white rose... The last victim from last year bore 28 stabs and 28 roses... These numbers are not just numbers.. Each year, the suspect adds to the count.. and It seems like the suspect is telling us kung ilang taon na siya.. Furthermore., The suspect committed his crime between March 20 and 31... Each body is branded with a 'C' mark...Sa hawak nating mga ebidensya.. It all points towards one individual--Orion Arsenic Cervantez.. Hindi ako naniniwala that this is just a coincidence.. Cervantez Favorite flower is Tranquility white rose.. His Birthday is on March 27.... On 2019 he turned 25 and 2023 he turned 28.. And the letter 'C' he leaves as a grisly calling card on the victims' bodies, It symbolizes his surname..Cervantez--"

"Hayop talaga yang Cervantez na yan.. He really knows how to play around!" Atty. Arboleda muttered under his breath.

He gritted his teeth and clenched his jaws and fist.

Patuloy ang pagsasalita ni Agassi sa harap ngunit parang wala na akong naiintindihan..

I mean-- nasa ibang dako kasi ang isip ko.. My mind is spinning habang naiisip ko si Hira at ang walang hiyang Orion na ngayon ay planong umalis ng bansa..

My mind spun with a mix of jealousy, regret, and pain habang iniisip na aalis siya kasama ang lalaking yon for their honeymoon.. The mere thought of them together , embarking on a romantic getaway, ignited a burning sensation in my chest.. Though nabanggit naman ni Hira na walang nangyayari sa kanila at hindi naman siya pinupwersa ng isa pero hindi ko parin maiwasan ang mabahala..

Parang nakakaramdam ako ng pagsisisi dahil sa ginawa naming plano na ipakasal siya sa hayop na yon..The weight of my decision bore down on me, intensifying the anger, regret, and hurt that coursed through my veins. It felt like a searing fire, consuming me from within, leaving me with a bitter taste of remorse.

Please Hira be careful and make sure to finish this mission as soon as possible

Saad ko sa aking isip

"Chief" I snapped out of my trance nang maramdaman ko ang pagyugyog ni Riego sa balikat ko.. Ngayon ko lang napansin na kanina pa pala ako kinakausap ng mga ito..Looking down, I noticed that I had unconsciously snapped the pen in my hand, at nagsikalatan na ang tinta nito sa lamesang nasa tapat ko..

"H-ha?" Parang tangang utas ko

"Ang sabi namin.. Mag-iisue na ba kami ng warrant para kay Cervantez" Riego inquired na inabutan ako ng tissue upang punasan ang table at kamay kong namantsahan na ng ink ng ballpen na sinira ko.
