Unsolved Mystery (Nilacabb Series #1)

06

I sent a message to Brey. My message was delivered but I got no reply. I am worried. Hindi naman siya ganito.

To: Brey
Where are you, Brey? Hinahanap ka ni Mikayla. Need daw cooperation mo.

Kinabukasan, I went to school. Nakita ko ang mga kaibigan ko, kasama ang mga boys sa gazebo, sa tagpuan namin.

"Chloe, we have a problem." Hazel said.

"What problem?" I asked. Umupo ako sa tabi ni Shane para magkarinigan kami, dahil ang lakas ng hangin.

"Brey's missing." Christian said.

It happened. No, this can't be. Paano siya mawawala? Kailan pa siya nawawala? Naka-usap ko pa 'yon, ah.

"Pa'no niyo nasabing nawawala?" I asked.

"Tinawagan namin 'yung Mama niya. 'Di ba nga nagpasuyo si Chris kagabi kay Brey because of important thing. Ang sabi ng Mama niya, maghapong wala raw sa bahay nila si Brey. Hanggang ngayon, 'di pa nakakauwi." Shane said.

"Tell me it's not happening. Not again." Jarenn said. "Tangina, hindi pa tapos imbestigahan 'yung kay Aya, 'wag naman sanang dumagdag 'to."

I hoped so. Please, sana 'wag naman pati si Brey. Wala na sanang masunod.

"Hindi niyo ba siya naka-usap maghapon?" Mikayla asked us.

"No. Hindi siya nagr-respond sa mga messages ko." I said.

"The project is very very important. Magka-grupo kami ro'n. Ako, si Chris at siya." Lueese said.

"Saan naman 'yon pupunta?" Jeric asked. "Wala namang boyfriend 'yon."

"Baka naman may pinag-stay-an lang. Wala ba silang tampuhan ng Mama niya?" Jarenn asked.

"Wala namang nabanggit 'yung Mama niya." Shane replied.

"Sige, alamin na lang natin 'yan mamaya. Baka naman may pinuntahan lang talaga. Pumasok na kayo't baka ma-late pa kayo." Caleb said.

I waved 'good bye' to my friends and walked my way towards the Architecture Department building.

"Your ID," Renz handed me my school ID as soon as I sat at my chair. Mukhang blooming siya, ang liwanag ng mukha e. Rejuv reveal.

I just gave him a smile and accept it. "Thank you." I said.

"I heard what happened to Brey." He said.

I watch him take a seat next to me. Tinungkod niya ang kamay niya sa kaniyang baba at saka tumingin sa 'kin.

"Ah, y-yeah. " I said.

"How could she get lost?" He asked me na parang alam ko. Hindi ko nga sure kung nawawala e.

"I don't know. Ang sabi ng Mama niya, kagabi pa raw hindi umuuwi si Brey. I sent medsage to her but I didn't receive any replies." I said. "Baka busy lang? Baka hindi nawawala? Sana hindi. Sana OA lang mga kaibigan ko."

"She's can't be the next victim." He sighed. "I hope there should be no victim."

"I also hoped so. Sobrang cruel. Hanggang ngayon 'di pa rin natin ang kung sino'ng suspect tapos ito na naman." I said.

"Let's just pray for her, hmm?" He said and gave me a small smile.

Natigil kami sa pag-uusap nang dumating na ang Prof namin.
