The Murder Suspect (COMPLETED)

Chapter 9

As soon as Daniel went out the police station, the phone he left was vibrating and it was still on my hands.

Damn than man! Balak ba nyang dagdagan ang sintensya ko? When almost of the officers were sleeping, I took out the phone and read one of the message he send me.

Daniel:

I'll help you get out there.

The hell? Sino ba ang lalaking ito na minsan lang ako nakita, tinulungan ko lang ng kaunti ay akala na yata papatulan ko na sya.

Let's just say that he like me, yes he may do. Pero ang tanga naman nya para magustuhan ang isang babaeng nasa punyetang kulungan na ito.

I read one of his message again that he even had the guts to save his own number here.

Daniel:

But before anything else, pls tell me what happen?

Ano ako bali? Si Detective nga na alam
kong matutulungan ako hindi ko sinabihan, sya pa kaya na ngayon ko lang nakilala?

Instead of answering him, I started composing a message for him too.

Hen:

Balikan mo tong phone mong hayop ka!

Daniel:

Serve it as a gift for helping me :))

Hen:

Simple thank you is enough. Kunin mo to bukas.

Hindi ko na pinansin ang iba pang message nya at sumandal nalang sa dingding.

Daniel is so stupid. Nag-aral man lang ba ang lalaking yun? Ang babaw ng taste ha.

Morning came and here's the detective na kahapon ko pa hinihintay for the result of the fingerprints.

But to my surprise, he didn't talk to me. May mga inaayos lang sya sa desk ni hepe and that's all! Ayaw ko naman syang tawagin at kausapin kasi nakakainis ang mukha nya.

Then minutes later, here comes Daniel. His holding boquet of flowers that made all the officer teased us.

"Anak ng! Nasa kulungan ka na nga, Stimpson ay may manliligaw ka parin?" The officer even teased me like, close kami?

"Ingat ka bata, ikaw ang susunod na papatayin nyan." The other one said.

Hindi ko naman sinasadyang mapasulyap kay detective. Nahuli ko syang nakatingin kay Daniel at sa hawak nito, tapos sa akin then continued what his doing.

"Hi." Daniel greeted me while the officers are opening my cell. I rolled my eyes on her at nagtaka ako ng mapansing hindi ako nilagyan ng posas ng mga pulis.

"Hindi ka naman siguro tatakas diba?" The officer said and just like Daniel, I rolled my eyes.

Dumiretso ako sa visiting area at hindi pinansin ang iika-ikang si Daniel na hawak parin ang mga bulaklak nya. Nung makaupo na sya at nakangiti nyang iniabot sa akin ang hawak nya.

"Ano yan? Iaalay ko sa burol mo?" Inis na tanong ko at natawa pa sya.

"Tanggapin mo nalang dahil nangangalay na ako." Sagot nya kaya hinablot ko yun sa kanya. "Kumakain ka ba ng chocolates? Waffers? Pancakes? Chips or Nutella?" Tanong nya at habang pinapakinggan ang mga tinatanong nya ay nakaramdam ako ng gutom.

Dafaq!

"Ginagago mo ba ako?" I asked glaring dahil lahat lang naman ng sinabi nya ay mga paborito ko.

"What? I'm asking you because I brought all those." He said laughing at isang pitik lang ng daliri nya, nagsipasukan ang tatlong lalaki na dala lahat ng mga yun.

"Wow effort kung effort ah!" Then suddenly, detective came at sinilip ang laman ng mga plastic bags na dala ng mga lalaking yun.

"Gusto mo ba detective?" Daniel asked him. "I can buy you another one pero itong mga ito kasi ay para sa kanya." He said and winked at me.

Detective frowned as he rolled his eyes and left the place. Anong nangyari dun? Baliw lang?

"What the fuck are you thinking?" Baling ko kay Daniel na nakangiti ng malapad.

"Bakit mo gustong malaman ang iniisip ko?" Balik-tanong nya so I rolled my eyes before opening the plastic bag and took out the waffers.

"Are you stalking me?" Tanong ko dahil lahat ng dinala nya ay gusto ko.

"Not really." He shrugged off at napatingin ako sa paa nya. Wala na ang cast nya pero iika-ika parin sya.

"What happened? Hit and run ka ba?" I asked at napatingin din sya sa paa nya.

"Hindi. I actually know who hit me that night." Sagot nya kaya napalingon ako sa kanya.

"Then why you don't tell the police?"

"Ikaw, bakit hindi mo maamin sa kanila na hindi naman talaga ikaw ang pumatay sa kanila?" I was stunned on what he asked at nabitawan ko ang hawak kong waffers. "I can help you get out here. I can even help you lower the sentenced of the real killer." Nabigla ako sa sinabi nya.

He knew me already?

Mabilis akong tumayo para iwan sana sya pero mabilis din sya at napigilan ako. "Hwag mong sayangin ang buhay mo, Hennerietta." Mas lalo akong nabigla ng banggitin nya ang tunay kong pangalan so I gave him my very disguting look.

"Who are you?"

"I told you, I'm Daniel." Simpleng sagot nya kaya hinablot ko ang kamay ko mula sa kanya. "My real name is Daniel Clark Roque. I lived in this city and quiet popular. Now, will you accept my offer to get you here out?" Dagdag nya at mabilis akong umiling.

"Kung ano man ang nalaman mo o malalaman mo, I want you to shut your mouth up." I said with my furious look. "Don't you dare to interfer with my business Daniel or who ever you are." I said before leaving that room.

"Ano, tapos na ang date?" Detective asked me pero hindi ko sya pinansin at pumasok nalang sa selda ko. "LQ agad? Yan kasi eh—"

"Shut up!" I shut him off kaya mabilis syang natahimik at napataas pa ng kamay. "Just shut up." Mahinahong dagdag ko bago sya talikuran.

"Hen." I heard Daniel voice pero hindi ako lumingon. "Iwan ko nalang ito dito." He said pero hindi parin ako kumibo hanggang sa tuluyan na syang umalis.

"Stimpson itatapon ko na ba itong bulaklak mo?" The officer asked me so I turned to glance him.

"Kainin mo!" I answered at mabilis naman syang napaiwas ng tingin ng makitang galit ako.

"Sabi ko nga itatapon ko na." Then he walked away.

Minutes later, I saw detective leaning on my cell habang nakahalukipkip at nakatingin sa akin. "Ano na naman?!" Bulyaw ko at umiling lang sya.

"I pitty the kid." He said at mabilis na pumasok sa isip ko si Denver.

"I pitty him too." I said to ride on with his joke or was it even a joke?

"Nagkagusto na nga lang sya, sa babae pang puro kasinungalingan ang nalalantay na dugo." Mabilis ko syang sinamaan ng tingin at pailing-iling pa sya. "I really pitty him. Baka mamaya matulad pa sya kay Carlo Ferrer." Then he walked away.

What a jerk.

Baka gusto nyang sya ang matulad kay Carlo if he don't stop acting that way?
