My Extra Large Girl [Completed]

XL 45

XL 45

There is something weird about people. Kapag malungkot sila, nagpapatugtog pa sila ng sad songs. Bakit? Background music? Para pa-igtingin ang lungkot na nadarama? Para maiyak lalo? Bakit? Bakit isa ako sa mga taong ito?

Panay ang katok ni Papa mula sa labas ng aking silid. Nag-aalala siya dahil heto na naman ako. Just like my most depressed state when my mother passed away, here I am locking myself away from the rest of the world again.

"Alas kwatro na ng hapon, anak, baka naman pwede ka nang lumabas at kumain." My father hollered. "Ayaw mo bang kumain sa labas? Sabado na Sabado, nagmumukmok ka."

I was about to reply but the music stopped because of an incoming call.

Sven Acosta calling...

I picked it up immediately.

"Hello?"

"May time ka? I have to tell you something. Tungkol sa nag-post ng issue tungkol sa'yo." Sven replied.

"Oo, marami akong time. Saan kita pupuntahan?"

"Dito nalang sa pub ni Yuri. It's not yet open to the public kaya sa likod ka dumaan. Send ko sa'yo ang address."

"Okay, I'll get ready."

Tuwang tuwa si Papa nang lumabas ako at mabilisang kumain at naligo. He didn't ask me anything, he just looked happy that I went out of the bat cave.

"Pa, alis lang ako saglit." Pagpapaalam ko na siyang sinagot lamang niya ng isang tango.

I went to the pub and used the back door to enter. Nandoon si Sven sa loob, nakaupo sa couch, may laptop sa mesa sa harap niya.

Si Yuri ay nasa bar counter, abala sa pagmimix ng kung anong inumin.

"You're here, halika, upo ka." Ani Sven sa akin. Tinignan ako ni Yuri at nginitian. Sinuklian ko iyon.

"Kailan magbubukas 'tong pub mo? It's really nice in here." Saad ko kay Yuri.

"After graduation pa. Marami pang kulang dito." He replied. Tumango nalang ako at umupo sa tabi ni Sven.

"Ano'ng meron?" I asked.

"I asked help from my IT friends para mapadali ang investigation ni Tito Marco. He did some IT stuff that I couldn't understand, but in simple terms, he found out who the admin was and who requested for that post to be shared. Apparently, binayaran ng taong ito yung admin para lang ma-post yung mga 'yun." Paliwanag ni Sven.

I laughed sarcastically. "Ang laki naman yata ng galit sa akin ng taong 'yan? Nagwaldas pa talaga siya ng pera para siraan ako?"

"Di ko rin nga maintindihan. Naging mabuti ka naman sa kaniya."

I stilled. "Wait. Did you just imply na kilala ko yung taong yun?"

He nodded. "Sorry to break it to you like this, but you've been keeping the culrpit around like a trusted friend."

My eyes widened. "Sure ka ba diyan?! Sino?! Where's the evidence?!"

"Kaya nga kita tinawagan para ikaw na mismo ang humusga. Dinala na siya sa prefect of discipline for questioning, kahapon ng alas tres ng hapon, and we have a recording of the confession as evidence. May consent niya 'to ha, baka akala mo illegal yung pag-obtain namin nito." Aniya.

"Nasan na? Papakinggan ko."

"Ready ka na? I'll play the file in 3... 2... 1..."

"Do you admit to the allegations of the page's administrator that you paid her to post that scandalous story?" It was the prefect of discipline's voice in the recording.
