Natapos ang funeral at narito ako ngayon sa bahay nila tita, ang mama ni Samantha. She let me in her room at hinayaan akong mag libot libot sa kwarto niya, where i see her posters, rock bands that we bond enjoy to listen, movies and more on that is books.
Habang tabi naman ang kaniyang bed na very comfy at malambot, kung saan nakapatong roon ang mga plushies na kuneho at pusa na, napanalunan namin sa arcades.
Her bedside table kung saan merong lava lamp, at sa left side na ang kaniyang wall closet na elegant parin kung titignan.
Napa tingin ako sa kaniyang picture frame sa bedside table bumigat na lamang ang loob ko ng masilayan ko ang polaroid pictures naming dalawa.
Where both happy singing at the karaoke na nirentahan pa namin, tas sa kaniyang polaroid camera ay kami ang kumuha ng litrato. And lastly was her mystery board where she put random suspect and victims there kung saan ang pulang strings ang nag l-lead sa kaniyang mga assumptions...
"Feel free to look at her stuffs, you knew she's our best star," nakikita ko ang pag pigil niya sa kaniyang mga luha, nginingiti niya nalamang ito, "and thankyou so much belinda, we appreciate your presence here since samantha only talk about you as her friend." Mrs. Villanova.
The guilt just eaten me. Hindi ko alam kung karapat dapat pa akong tao sa mga sinasabi niya.
".. she's famous but look at her trusting only one person, she grew up with for 3 years.."
She added,"and masaya ako na nandito ka."
I downsmile at her, acknowledging her words.."wala pong anuman tita, I'm sorry as well, i should be by her side..pero I didn't do something to save her" in my vulnerable
state, all of the things happen from that day flashbacks right Infront of my eyes, ang tingin niyang walang buhay at ang kaawa awa niyang lagay, well i should recognize her screams but Samantha never scream when I'm with her and i don't actually know how will she sounded when she does.
But remembering that part when where we're just hearing her, we can truly tell how brutal it could be; someone said that she might killed herself, but how can she sounded so scared and terrified like that.
Iknow that she was murdered but whom??
She put her hands into my shoulders and gave me a reassuring smile,"thankyou that she got a friend like you aries, at ikaw wala kang kasalanan okay? Hindi mo kasalanan na mawala si sam. She knew that, don't blame yourself anak." The way she smile right now was like seeing sam Infront of me, she really look like tita, but sam got her dad's nose and lips. Suddenly tita back away from the hug and look at me with a slight concerned,"gutom ka naba Aries? Kung gusto mo mag luluto ako ng chocolate cookies," Well sam and i used to eat those when we're here alone.
"Ah sige lang po tita," i smile.
"Just wait me here ah" she already left the room at naiwan ako dito nakamatyag sa polaroid photo namin ni Samantha.
I didn't hesitate to sit beside her bed at kuwain ang picture frame, i just can't help but to cry. Kung alam niya lang kung gaano ako nag sisi sa mga pinag sasabi ko nung araw na'yon, i should understand your side kung bakit, pero ano ang ginawa ko i push you away and called you a fake who use the fame.
I hugged the picture at diko naman inaasam na magulat sa kahol ni chuchay, ang aso ni sam na beagle. It just slipped in my hand at nag karoon ng basag, kung saan agad agad ko namang dinampot at niligpit ngunit may papel sa loob nito...
It says...
Look under the bed, and check above.
I follow the instructions base sa paper at doon may nakita na naman akong papel na nakadikit. It was tape there, i pick it up and read it..
Behind the mysteries, remove the strings so it will free open...
"Behind the mysteries??" I'm confused.
Teka ano??
As i repeat the words inside my head, nag balik ako sa alaalang pinapakilala ni sam ang bagay na kinahihiligan niya, at oo ayun ang mystery board na may random red strings na hindi mo namamalayan kung ano nga ba talaga ang mysteryong tinatago niya.
Kaya i stood up my feet, unstrangle all of the red strings and each by each I'm careful not to break anything, until..i was left with one string kung saan nakakonektado ito sa loob. I pull it and...just like what the paper had said, it swings open revealing a lot of stuffs samantha had kept for herself.
Naintindihan ko din ang mechanic ng secret na ito, kung saan may magnet na naka dikit sa pulang strings at pati narin sa pader kaya ng hinatak ko ito sa dulo ay kumawala staka bigla nalang itong bumukas. Where inside of it ay may mga journals, diaries, sketches, ang kaniyang cam at ang aming bracelets na dinadahilan niya laging nawawala ay narito lang pala naka ipon. I just cried as i touch her notes knowing that she might write a lot of stuffs, i wonder what she wrote about me as i wonder about everything, she just wrote about her day at ang normal routines niya, nag luto nag basa at ang isip niya sa novels, but at some point sa pahina na ito napatigil ako...
August 9, sunday evening.
My friend just got home and i didn't tell her about my secret, the secret I just figured out as an apprentice detective.
Alam kong role play lang ito but i hope i can tell this to Aries, i feel scared and anxious. But right now, hanggang dito lang muna.
Teka may secret siyang hindi na sasabi sakin? Wait yun ba ang dahilan kung bakit siya balisa?.
I flip the page.
August 10, Monday morning.
Natatakot na ako, i just wanna tell mom o di kaya kay Aries. I feel scared what should i do? I can't let this happen.. including my best friend. I'm still keeping it but that thing was a trap.
I don't know what I'm reading right now, but all i can say is "i will find answers."
