CHAPTER 6: EVIDENCES
"This is the red thread that was found on the hair of my sister." Pinakita niya sa akin ang picture ng red thread na nasa isang ziplock.
"Grabe, talas naman ng mga mata ng mga katulad ninyo po." Manghang manghang saad ko.
"No, hindi sa talas ng mata yon."
"Eh saan naman po?" tanong ko.
"Good things come from unexpected places." He said.
"Oh, ganon?"
"Yes. It means we don't believe on trifles or little things. Every little thing counts. Para saamin nga mas mahalaga pa ang di obvious kaysa sa obvious eh kasi doon talaga nakikita ang cause ng pagkamatay pati ang ebidensiya." Paliwanag nito at tumango na lamang ako.
"Back to the topic, according to my private investigations ay may humahabol daw sayo nung second day of school. Because of that, buti nalang daw ay nabangga mo ang kapatid ko na parang nagligtas saiyo sa humahabol sa iyo. Tama ba ako?" tanong nito sa akin.
"Yes, that is true." I answered.
"Okay. I will ask you some few questions. I will record your answers as you are the only witness. Kahit hindi mo ang nangyari, maaring mayroon kang papel sa pagkamatay ng kapatid ko." He said and pressed the cassette recorder.
"This is witness statement number 1." Sabi nito nang magrecord ang cassette. Uso pa pala ang cassette ngayong panahon.
"Introduce yourself please."
"I am Chelsea Mae Hernandez. I am 15 years old from ***** University." Pagpapakilala ako at kahit nagrerecord ang cassette tape ay sinusulat niya parin ang mga sinasabi ko.
"How did you found Miss Kathleen Gimenez?" tanong nito.
"Well, I found her when someone is chasing me. Thank god I found her kasi dahil sa kanya hindi na ako hinahabol kung sino man ang humahabol sa akin." I remember that time. I was so scared pero buti na lamang ay niligtas ako nung kapatid niya.
Napansin ko ang namumuong luha sa gilid ng kanyang mga mata habang sinusulat ang statement ko. Naawa ako sa kanya and actually, sinisisi ko pa ang sarili ko dahil sa pagkamatay ng kapatid niya.
"W-Who was chasing you?" he stuttered when he asked that question.
"A red-dressed girl with a red mask. Her hair was red too. Everything on her is red." Sagot ko.
"Did it attacked you?"
"No, malayo ang distansya naming dalawa. He just chased me." I said and he pressed the stop button sa cassette.
