Chapter 35 : Information
Kinaumagahan, naghilamos ako at nagpalit ng damit bago lumabas ng kwarto. Sakto namang nasa labas ang tatlo at nag-uusap. “I was just about to knock,” Winston said while looking at me.
I shrugged my shoulders. “Where should we eat breakfast?” tanong ko sa kanila.
“Meron akong alam na small café na malapit lang dito.” Henry said.
“Letʼs go,” Nol started walking while his hands are inside his pockets.
Sumunod na kami sa kanya at lumabas ng Hotel. The place is so lively. Mataas na rin kasi ang sikat ng araw and some tourists are swimming already.
Lagpas lang sa Seafood Restaurant ang sinasabi ni Henry. Pagpasok namin doon, naamoy agad namin ang kape.
The place looks refreshing with its glass walls, wooden furnitures, and tropical flowers.
“Nol?” napalingon kami sa nagsalita. It was Inspector Inugami. What is he doing here?
“Inspector! Anoʼng ginagawa mo rito?” Henry asked. Nagpameywang siya habang nakangiti.
“May na-receive akong call kanina mula sa Mecriean Agency. May nangyaring barilan daw sa kakahuyan ng Paloa bandang madaling araw.” he explained.
Nang mapansin niya ako ay ngumisi siya. “Hey there, Keena. You too, Winston.”
Tumango lang si Winston sa kanya. “Kakain ba kayo ng almusal? Sabayan niyo na ko.” aya ni Inspector.
“Why not? I would like to know what happened to Agnes, Sir Michael and other involve men in that fucking abduction.” sabi ko.
Ngumiti siya sa akin. “Chill, Keena. Letʼs find a table first.”
Nang makahanap na kami ng table, nagsi-upo na kami. Agad namang may lumapit na waiter sa amin at kinuha ang mga orders namin.
“Chamomile tea and egg sandwich,” sabi ko.
“Black coffee,”
“Cappuccino and pecan pie,”
“Macha and croissant,”
“Cinnamon roll chaka Rooibos Vanilla Milktea,”
While waiting for our orders, nagsalita na ako.
“So, Inspector. Hindi ba may pag-uusapan tayo?” I started.
“Oh yes. May nakalap akong impormasyon tungkol sa Mafia na kinabibilangan ni Michael.” aniya.
“Wait, Agnes first. What about her? How is she? May balita ka ba sa kanya?” tuloy tuloy ko na tanong.
“Sheʼs physically okay the last time I checked on her. Binisita ko kasi siya two days ago para may ibalita ako saʼyo.”
“And?”
“Mabilis na naghihilom ang mga sugat niya sa katawan pati ang mga bugbog niya because of treatments. But the thing is, her mental health. Dahil sa trauma, hindi siya nagsasalita. You canʼt even talk to her. Lagi siyang nakakulong sa kwarto niya. She doesnʼt eat that much, too.”
Just by thinking of Agnesʼ situation right now, I want to burst out and cry. Ang alam kong masama pero sana man lang nakabawi ako ng isang malakas at malutong na suntok kay Sir Michael dahil sa kahayupan niya.
“Napapadalas din daw ang pag-iyak niya habang nakatulala. That is why pansamantala muna siyang hindi pumapasok. Kung umayos ulit ang kalagayan niya, baka bumalik siya.”
