After being stuck at home for four days I decided to have a walk around our subdivision.
Sa paglapit ko sa park, nakita ko ang nagkukumpulang tao roon. Nang makalapit, I noticed some blood splattered in an area, where I think, a crime was made.
Nakuha na raw ang katawan ng babae ayon sa isang pulis, ino autopsy na raw ito, ngunit kung titignan raw ito ay parang sinaksak ng isang malaking patalim. Maraming dugo ang nawala sa biktima.
Sa di kalayuan, isang pulis at apat na kalalakihan ang nauusap, lumapit ako at nakinig sa kanilang pinaguusapan. Base sa aking narinig, ang apat na lalaki ay sina, Danny, Crane, Adamm, Aaron.
Hiningan sila ng pahayag kung ano ang kanilang ginawa sa mga oras na naganap ang krimen.
Unang tinanong ay si Crane na syang tumawag sa mga pulis at ambulansya, " I was jogging not far away from here though hindi agad ako bumalik dahil dinaanan ko pa ang bahay ng nililigawan ko to drop the flowers I bought. Nagulat nalang ako ng papauwi na ako nang makita ko ang katwan nyang nakahandusay. And yes, I was once courting her, but I accept defeat when she chose Adamm over me"
Pangalawang tinanong si Danny, one of the victim's ex, " I went out to look for a store that is open 24/7, my wife's pregnant and she's craving for something. Nakita ko pa nga sya kaninang naglalakad rito kasama si Adamm, though nakita ko silang nagaaway I didn't expect that this will happen"
Next is Adamm, the victim's boyfriend, "Yes I was with her, though I left her when she admitted that she committed infidelity with Aaron. I saw him walked towards her when I left"
Lastly, Aaron. "Yes pinuntahan ko sya, but I also left her 'cause she's pushing me away, iyak sya ng iyak kanina na inatake sya ng asthma. I panicked and umalis ako para humingi ng tulong."
Pagkatapos ng paguusap ay umalis na sila. Paalis ako ng may nakita akong bagay malapit sa isang bench roon. Kinuha ko iyon at binuksan after seeing the wallpaper, I knew it was the victim's cellphone, ito kasi ang babae sa picture na nakita ko sa mga pulis.
I kept the phone, I want to investigate. Itatago ko palang ito nang may nakabunggo saakin. It was one of the suspects, Aaron. Nakatingin sya sa phone na hawak ko. At hindi lang pala sya, kundi pati na rin ang tatlo pa sa likuran nya.
Dali-dali akong umalis pauwi. As I got home, I received a message coming from an unknown number.
