What If

Thirty One

Nang sumapit ang sabado, maaga akong nagising para sa isang meeting na si-net nina Jolina at Yumi. Cedrick was not here and thank you God for that. Because I am sure, he won't allow me to go outside. I never confronted him about the issue. I just feel like he doesn't want to get involved because he's focusing on his job. Something's really weird happening now. I just can't figured it out.

Jolina and Yumi came with their casual outfits. They looked like a business woman na siyang ikinagulat ko. They're party people so I don't really expect that they will become a business minded.

Yumi smiled sadly at me. Ganon din si Jolina. I felt sad, too. Hindi ko alam kung para saan. We ordered coffees and breads for lunch. I am not hungry now. My curiousity is killing me right now.

"How are 'you this past few days, Lorrie?" Panimula ni Yumi.

I smiled. "I am very fine. Focusing on my work is really my target now. I am so bored here. I wanna go back to Manila,"

Nakita ko na saglit na nagka-tinginan ang dalawa bago muling sumulyap sa akin. I can feel my nerves now. Parang hindi ko kaya na kausapin sila tungkol dito.

"Let's go to main point," I spat.

Tumango si Yumi kay Jolina. Joline breath heavily. I am, too. I am so scared to know everything but I really want to know!

"We we're all shocked that sir Jonathan is the victim of the gunshot," Jolina started. "Wala kaming alam. The Abadillas never told us. Well, I don't know if they told it to your family. But they never spoke about it in public. We have no idea about the crime,"

"And how did you know that he was the victim?" I asked.

"Days passed, someone from police station reported it to my dad. Dad told me accidentally..."

I proccesed everything into my head. The informations I am getting right now is overloaded. Masikip sa utak at masakit sa puso. I don't know if I can actually manage it.

"But since the Abadillas are very quite, no one knows about it. Isa pa, dito nangyari ang krimen. Ang alam lang namin may namatay na businessman from Manila and that's all," Yumi added.

"And how did Tyron became the primary suspect?"

I manage my breathing control. Parang kahit ilang oras ay mawawalan ako ng hininga. Natatakot ako e. Natatakot ako sa kung anong pwedeng mangyari.

"His fingerprints we're seen in the gun that was used during the crime. The blood from his shirt was tito Jonathan's blood. Isang malaking ebidensya iyon..." Jolina said it almost a whisper.

"Oh my god..." I said. "Was he here in Bulacan during the crime? How is that possible? Tyron is working in the resort or maybe busy doing something in Manila..."

"Na-aresto siya sa Maynila. They didn't actually caught him running or escaping here in Bulacan," ani Yumi.

I just can't imagine that Tyron would do that. It is just so hard to think and visualize it. Yes, Tyron is not rich just like us and the Abadillas, but based on his personality, he wouldn't do that. I am sure he can't.

"What's the motive?" I said, shaking because of the pain. "They can't arrest him just like that. There no concrete evidences! Paano kung nahawakan niya lang 'yung baril? Paano kung bigla lang siyang natalsikan ng dugo? Diba, walang eksaktong ebidensya."

I am now bursting my tears. My heart is aching so bad. I wanna go call him and asked him what happened. Or if he's okay. I wanted to know what he's thinking? I want to ask him if it's true?

"Don't worry but the case is still under investigation. I heard his family had a lawyer,"

Gumaan nang kaonti ang pakiramdam ko 'doon. Ewan ko. I don't know anything but I can really feel na wala siyang kasalanan. I just can't explain it. There's an invisible connection between us. I know he's innocent. Na wala siyang alam sa mga nangyari.
