Love Me Again (TiAom)

Chapter 31

#LMADeathNote

Nagmamadaling pumunta si Tony sa factory nila sa may Singapore. Nagkaroon kasi ng sunog sa pagawaan ng chocolates nila doon.

"I want to arrive there as soon as possible" utos nito sa piloto ng private plane na pagmamayari nito.

"Yes Ma'am"

Ng makarating ito doon ay kontrolado na ng mga bombero ang apoy. Ngunit halos kalahati na ng factory ang nasunog. "is everyone okay?" yun yung una nitong itinanong ng makita niya ang chief fire fighter.

"we're still checking, but I hope no one did"

Pinuntahan at kinamusta din lahat ni Tony ang bawat makita nitong empleyado. Sobrang nadidismaya ito at nagaalala dahil sa nangyari.

Marami ding reporters na nakaabang at nung nakita nila ito ay agad nila itong pinalibutan.

Halo-halo ang mga tanong na halos di na nito maintindihan kung alin sa alin ang uunahin niya. Buti at dumating ang mga body guards nito at tinulungan siyang makaalis sa crowd.

. . .

"There's a foul play and we found out that someone did plan about this" pagrereport ng head police na naka assign sa case na ito.

"is it possible for you to know who did this?" 

"Yes ma'am. We are already doing our best to capture the culprit" bigla naman nabaling ang attention nila ng may dumating na isa pang police, "sir, we already captured the one who started the fire"

. . .

"m-ma'am I'm sorry..." paulit-ulit na wika ng lalaking nasa interrogating room.

Gustong magalit ni Tony sa kanya kaso naisip nito na baka napagutusan lang ito, may foul play nga diba. "who ordered you to do so?" ito yung unang tanong nito sa kanya.

"i-it was an accident" hindi halos makatingin yung sinasabing suspect sa kanya.

"really?" sabay upo nito sa upaun across him. "did you know how much casualties you've caused?"

Halatang nanginginig at nakokonsensya na ang lalaki.

"and did you know that 5 people died because of the 'accident' that you've caused?"

Tony placed her both hands under her chin and rested both of her elbows on top of the table, leaning forward to the nervously shaking man, "you're going to be sent to jail and stay there for the rest of your life. But . . . if you're going to tell me the truth, I will let you go and I won't sue you for the damage that you have caused."

". . ."

"still ain't talking..." tumayo na siya at sinabihan na ang pulis na ikulong ito, "I'm going to send my lawyer here and he will fix everything."

"wait!" napahinto ito.

"I-I will tell you, I will tell you everything, j-just please, please don't send me to jail. My daughter needs me." napasmirk si Tony at humarap uli sa kanya, waiting for him to speak up.

"but I'm asking you one favor. Please protect my daughter" the man pleaded.

"speak..."

"there was this lady who told me to start a fire in exchange of 5 million dollars" he started.

"did you get the lady's name?" she asked.

"No and I didn't get to see her face too because she was wearing a mask."

"where did you meet her?" the police officer asked.

"I was on my way home when a car suddenly came up to me and offered me this huge amount of money. I suddenly thought of my daughter and her bright future. I was blinded with the money, I wa----"

and Blood scattered everywhere.

The man just suddenly exploded, literally exploded.

Nanginginig naman sa takot si Tony as she got some blood all over her. Nagkagulo naman ang mga police at dali-daling inilabas si Tony mula sa room na iyon.

Sumabog kasi bigla yung lalaki habang nagsasalita.

at yung organs nito nagkalat lahat sa kwarto.

Napaupo na lamang si Tony ng makalabas ito sa kwarto habang paulit-ulit na nagrereplay sa utak nito ang nangyari.

Maya-maya ay dumating si Anthony at agad na nilapitan ang kapatid nito.

"Tony, okay ka lang ba? ba't punong-puno ng dugo yung katawan mo?!" nagaalalang tanong nito. Bigla namang napatayo si Tony at nanginginig na niyakap ito.

"N-n-nakita ko siya, nak-kita ko siyang sumabog sa harapan ko...."

Dinala ni Anthony si Tony sa ospital to double check her condition. Sobrang traumatic talaga kasi yung nangyari. May binigay na gamot iyong nurse at pinatulog muna ito.

Dumating din si Joe at kinamusta ang kalagayan ng kaibigan. Maya-maya din nito ay may lumapit na police sa kanila.

May iniabot itong supot kay Joe na siyang ikinataka nito.

"someone planted a minibomb inside him and we found this near his stomach." halos nanginginig din si Joe habang binabasa yung label na nakalagay sa kapiraso ng mini bomb.

'Surprise'

"I want you to know and find the one behind this one!!" medjo napasigaw ito. Bigla kasi siya nakaramdam ng pangamba para sa seguridad nila. 

"Yes Ma'am we will do our best!" 

Tinawag naman ni Joe yung head security nila, "I want you to tighten up the security and any suspicious thing is subject to investigation, do you understand?!" agad naman itong nagsalute at umalis na para utusan at pagsabihan ang ibang mga kasamahan nito.

"Anthony, gusto kong bumalik ka sa states at pagsabihan din na maghigpit doon sa bahay. Puntahan mo din si Mindy at siguraduhing may mga body guards din kayo."

"I think, We just got a death threat"
