AMIRA'S POV
"Maraming salamat duns" sabi ko matapos ng mahabang paguusap namin. Pinapunta siya ni ace dito para sa mga bagay bagay.
"We are counting on you duns" sabi din ni ace. Maayos kaming naguusap habang kumakain.
"Maasahan niyo ko ace, amir kung may kailangan pa kayo, sabihin niyo lang" ngumiti kami tsaka inubos na ang pagkain. Nakiusap kami sa kanya na burahin lahat sa internet ang kumakalat na picture. Siya lang kasi kilala namin na kahit sa pinakasuok ng mundo may connection siya "You know, even they are in jail right now. You should continue filing a case against that two para hindi na talaga kayo malapitan"
"Nah we talked about that and we're fine staying our mouth close" tumango ako sa sagot ni ace.
"Huwag na, makakadagdag pa sa isipin naming dalawa ni ace, yung mga pulis na bahala sa kanila"
"We should look in our real problem"
"Yah! Yah! You two are known couple! I am jealous! Matutuwa talaga nito si ethan, yung matalik niyang kaibigan at ang amir niya ay magpapakasal na!" natawa ako ng konti sa sinabi niya. He is right!!
"Not unless HE will leave us alone and let us get back to new york" napatingin ako kay ace dahil pareho kami ng iniisip. He must crazy for making FENCE between new york and philippines-_-
"Yeah, I really can't believe he--you know amira" nagets ko naman ata ang ibig niyang sabihin.
"I also didn't know that papá stole their name and everything"
"But I heard that his mother worked with your step mom for years and bea your very closest friend I know. As what ace told me that linc and bea are siblings?" tumango ako at pilit na ngumiti.
"I really don't have idea that time too. I was so shocked"
"Wow! Did they planned this? I guess they knew since before. Woah so interesting!"
"I guess not, I guess their mother is the only one who knew about this beside tito alejandro. Bea mentioned that they just found out while I and amir still in new york"
"How about you amira? Do you--"
"Don't even know where they actually lived before" pagputol ko bago pa siya matapos.
"Ahhh"
"By the way duns, did you visit ate?" napatigil siya at tumingin sa akin.
"Everyday" really? Nakita niya atang nagulat ako kaya tumawa siya ng konti "I heard that the court is about to release her"
"Huh?! When?" nagkibit balikat siya at nagtuloy lang sa pagkain. Hinawakan ko ang kamay ni ace na nakaakbay sa akin.
"Next month? Next week? Dunno"
"But why? Nahanap na ba ang suspect?" umiling siya at nagkibit balikat kaya mas kumunot pa ang noo ko. B-but why? How?
"You don't know?" nagkatinginan kami ni ace dahil meron ba dapat kaming malaman? May nangyayari bang hindi namin alam? "Anyways"
*sigh* sumunod kami nang maglakad na siya sa may pinto.
"Tell us duns" pakiusap ni ace.
"Just visit her there, I will inform her" agad siyang pinigilan ni ace bago tuluyang makalabas.
"We will go with you" tumango lang ako bilang pagsang-ayon. I need the answer from my WHY AND HOW!!
"How about amira?"
"We went there already. The day we arrived here" bumuntong hininga siya.
"Sige na nga" mabilis na kinuha ni ace ang susi at sumunod na kami sa kanya pa labas.
***
"Just wait" tumango kami kay dunkan. Pumunta kami sa isang visit room at doon na naghintay.
"I am so nervous ace"
"I'm just here" humiga lang ako sa balikat niya habang kinukuskos ang braso ko para mawala ang panlalamig.
I am nervous--totally shaking!! I remember what linc told me. He will send me to jail. He is serious. He can send me to jail not just in that case but he might gonna push his father's case to me and that's what I am thinking right now--why I am shaking now!
"Ace, amira" sabay kaming tumayo at tumingin kay ate. Medyo pumayat siya at lumayo ang itsura sa unang bisita namin. Ilang araw lang ba yun? Tapos ganito na ang ikinabago niya. May nangyayari ba sa kanya sa loob?
So he will do everything to release her? Is this why he wanted her to be free? T-to stay with her?
Nagiwas ako nang tingin at nauna ng umupo tsaka tumahimik lang dito sa tabi ni ace. Nakita sa gilid ng mga mata ko na umupo silang dalawa ni dunkan sa harap.
"Zaira what happened? Something went bad?" alalang tanong ni ace. Hinawakan ko ang kamay niya sa ilalim kaya inakbayan niya ulit ako.
"A-ah no, there's just a little commotion inside"
"But you looked so different"
"Yeah, is it bad?"
I really don't understand. Why there is still people concerned about her and wanted to visit her? After what she did? Dunkan, ace, and linc. Ay tama nga pala, she was the reason why I met and we became close.
If-If this will happen to me in the future, can I still see their faces again? Their concern faces?
The fact that upsets me is that she is smart and I am not. She is gifted and I am not. She is admirable and I am not and most of all is that she is lucky and I am not.
"No, not really but what really happened?"
"Hindi kayo makapaniwala, mapapawalang sala na siya" nagkatinginan kami ni ace tsaka tumingin din ako kay ate na nakatingin pala sa kamay kong napatong sa mesa. Dahan dahan kong binaba yun at pinakiramdaman ang singsing ko.
Why did she looked at my ring? Magagalit pa rin ba siya? May feelings ba siya kay ace? But she said she had--
"What I fought about before is just a w-waste" pinaglaban kong makamit ang hustisya para sa akin at kay kuya, para na din kay papá but It will turn out like this?
"Hindi amira. May kasabwat ang kalaban sa loob at pinilit si zaira--"
"And just with that?!" tumayo ako pero mahigpit akong hinawakan ni ace sa kamay para hindi ako makaalis.
"A-amira" hindi ko siya pinansin at kay dunkan lang nakatingin. My eyes won't lasts if I will give her a look!
"Someone called the police and even put a signage to her place saying that-" tumigil siya kaya nagsalubong ang kilay ko.
"What?! With just that everyone will believe that she's innocent?! Sigurado akong illegal ang pagpapalabas sayo!!!!"
"'You have no idea, she's not the suspect' think of that amira! Bago lang din lumabas" napaupo ako at tumingin sa pader. T-they don't know. Si linc lang ang gumawa niyan. Isusunod na ako sa oras na makaapak sa labas si ate. Malakas pakiramdam ko na illegal ang pagpapalabas.
"Calm down"
"She's smart" hindi ko pinansin si ate at pilit na kinakalma ang sarili. I-I will be the next suspect.
