Chapter 4: The Problem
Life might be difficult and bitter today, but in the end it will be sweeter. Totoo nga ba? Kasi kung totoo, bakit hanggang ngayon palagi pa rin akong hinahabol ng nakaraan ko na sana nakabaon na sa lupa? Bakit masakit pa rin sa puso?
I am not a logical man like others but I have my own definition in life which maybe turns me into a logical one? I guess. Each people have its own battle to be play and win. But sometimes, they will lose their games and turns them to end the game without thinking some ways. If there are people who wanted to play, maybe they are the strongest one. Or they've been force to do it.
Huminga ako ng malalim bago napakamot sa ulo.
Hindi ko talaga sila maintindihan kung bakit gusto nilang alamin ang nakaraan ko. I know they are detectives but it doesn't mean you need to know everything just because you are curious. Ika nga nila, curiosity kills the cat.
"Hey, D-Duri. If you don't want to tell your–
Napadako ang tingin ko kay Abby na nasa gilid ko at nakatingala habang nakatingin sa akin. Isa pa to. Tsk. Hindi ko rin pala namalayan na dinala ko siya dito.
Muli akong napatingin sa paligid. Ito na ata ang isa sa komportable na lugar para sa akin, ang maliit na maze ni Boss na kanina ko lang nadiskubre.
Nakatayo ako sa isang bench habang nakaupo naman si Abby.
"This place is so good. The Boss was really intelligent and amazing. But I want to know his other child. It's a girl right?"
Biglang kumabog ang aking puso kaya napapikit na lamang ako.
"Yeah."
"What's her name?"
"Selene."
"Ah, I see. So did you know what kind of a girl she is? I heard a lot of good things about her because of Solomon."
Napakunot noo ako at lumingon sa kanya.
"How did Solomon know about Selene?"
Napalunok siya ng dalawang beses bago sumagot na para bang nagulat sa tanong ko.
"He said that it was during the time when Selene was here. Boss had commanded him to look after her and Master Ki secretly. And then he discovered how this girl is amazing in solving cases."
Napangiti ako at muling tumingin sa harap.
"She is really a good detective. And she is willing to sacrifice even though it will hurt her. And she is really a damn curious cat. She will never stop until her curiosity will be solved."
"You really know her huh?"
"Not so. But she is–
Huminga ako ng malalim. Hanggang dito pa rin ba pinaaalala siya sa akin?
"Hey Duri. What's wrong?"
Sinamaan ko ng tingin si Abby.
"Let's forget what happened tonight. I need to sleep." wika ko at bumaba na sa bench.
Akmang tatalikod na sana ako nang nagsalita si Abby.
"I know you don't like me, but can you please just be sweeter this time?"
