Chapter 31: Tension

Ian Recandego

"Nahanap n'yo na ba ang mag-ina ko?" I asked the private investigators I hired.

Hindi na kaya ng isang tao lang so I hired ten detectives. But all of them seems useless. Ilang buwan na ang nakalipas, four months, pero hindi pa rin nila nahahanap si Thiearra at ang anak kong si Angelo.

"Wala pa rin po kaming lead sa kinaroroonan nila, Mr. Recandego. Mukhang binago po nila ang identity nila o kaya ay mayroong nagpoprotekta sa kanila. Someone that has power and influence too. We can't track their locations, Sir. But rest assured that I and my team are doing all we can do just to find them."

"Bullshit! Don't give me useless and shitful reasons! I don't need to hear your sorry. Mas lalong ayokong marinig na sinasabi ninyong ginagawa ninyo ang lahat gayong hindi ninyo makita ang mag-ina ko!" I throw away all the files and papers on my desk. I am so upset and angry right now.

"Huwag na huwag kang babalik dito hangga't hindi mo dala ang balitang nakita mo na ang mag-ina ko! Leave!"

"Yes, Sir."

"I said, leave!"

When the Detective was gone already, sakto namang pumasok ang pasaway at maingay kong kaibigan.

"Oh, ang aga-aga, highlood ka kaagad. Nakakapangit 'yan, pre. Kalma ka lang."

"Shut up, Panther! I'm not in the mood to joke around. Kung andito ka lang para mang-asar, mabuti pang umalis ka na." I massaged my throbbing temple. Palagi na lang talagang sumasakit ang ulo ko sa sunod-sunod na problema.

"Where the fuck are you, Thiearra?" I gritted my teeth as I said those words.

Ang lakas ng loob na tumakas ng babaeng 'yon. Kung kailan handa na akong itama ang lahat at bigyan ng buong pamilya ang anak namin, saka naman siya biglang nawala.

Makikita mo, Yarra. Bubuntisin talaga kita ulit kapag nagkita tayong muli. Para hindi ka na makatakas. Kung kinakailangang taun-taon kang mabuntis para lang hindi ka na makawala, gagawin ko.

"Ah, Thiearra na naman pala. Kaya pala ang init ng ulo natin. Hindi mo pa rin ba nahahanap ang run awat first at great love mo?"

I wanted to punch Panther's face so bad. This jerk.

"It's none of your business. Just leave if you don't have any good word to say. Mas pinapainit mo lang ang ulo ko, Panther. Ayokong mawalan ng kaibigan." I stand up from my chair and started walking back and forth.

"Woah, easy there, Ian my friend. I am not here to case nuisance. I am actually here to rely good news to you. But since you're pushing me away and suggested to step back because your business is not mine, then I must go now." Panther's face looks so serious. I don't want to really believe him but something in me is suggesting to hear out Panther.

Napahawak akong muli sa sentido ko at hinarap si Panther.

"Okay, sorry. Now, spill the good news." I said impatiently.

Hindi naman mainitin ang ulo ko but ever since Thiearra went away, naging ganito na ako. Mainipin at mainitin ang ulo.

Panther smirked at me. Basta-basta na lang itong umupo sa sofa.

"Make sure it is really a good news or else, our friendship will be over."

Panther and I been friends for almost five years now. I met him in the US. And from there, we became close.

"Thiearra and your son, Angelo is in Baguio." That statement really caught my attention.

"What? But that's impossible. Pinalibot ko ang buong Investigating Team ko sa Baguio. Isang buwan kaming nag-imbestiga at naghanap doon, we haven't trace or find them there." Imposible talaga. Kahit pa nga malakas ang kutob ko noon na naroon sila kaya roon kami nagtagal, pinatay ang pag-asa at paniniwala ko noong mismong kami na ang nag-imbestiga at wala kaming napala.
