The ABCD Story

Project #3:
Ceira's Own Case:
The Cat Killings And Diamond

Hello! I'm Ceira Abyghaile N. Cervantes. I'm 18 years old, representing... Philippines! I'm kidding! Huwag niyo na lang pansinin.

I'm an aspiring model slash beauty queen slash detective. Ooooh... sounds so creepy, right? Just imagine it, I'm a beautiful model and beauty queen hiding my true identity as a detective? Err. I'm really creepy.

My father and mother are both investigators from NBI. My Ate Sera is a lawyer and my ugly younger brother, Keiro, dreams to be like my father and mother, too. Ibig sabihin, my ugly brother wants to be like me. Gaya-gaya kaya siya. Like, eww! Siya ng pinaka panget na detective na makikilala ko. Just kidding, again!

I'm going home na, eh. I'm gonna change my outfit, so that it would match the surroundings that I'll be going. I'm going to have an investigation for the serial killings of cats. Yes! Cats! What a ridiculous case, right? But I can't do anything about it.

While driving, I even got my self in a traffic jam. Tss! What a good day for me! Hagardo Versoza na ako! Like, eww! I look like a mess! A freaking beautiful mess, though. Don't mind me, again.

I just opened the radio and pinili ko ang favorite station ko.

"And this song is brought you by, Magic! Enjoy this song entitled 'Malaya' by Ms. Moira Dela Torre!"

Napa-smile na lang ako ng marinig ang instrumental. I love Moira! Her voice is soothing and... mesmerizing. Ugh! Ang sarap kaya sa tenga!

Pasensya na
Kung papatulugin na muna
Ang pusong napagod
Kakahintay

Kaya sa natitirang
Segundong kayakap ka
Maari bang magkunwaring
Akin... ka pa?

Mangangarap hanggang sa pagbalik
Mangangarap pa rin kahit masakit

Baka sakali
Makita kitang muli
Pagsikat ng araw
Paglipas ng gabi

Kung di pipilitin
Ang di pa para sakin
Baka sakaling...
Maibalik

Malaya ka na
Malaya...

That song is so memorable to me. He sang that to me in my 18th birthday. The day he broke up with me and the day he died. Hindi ko namalayan ang tumakas na butil ng luha sa mga mata ko. I just can't forget him. He's one of the reasons why I wanted to be a detective.

Because he was murdered.

And it happened, six months ago. Hindi ko naman na kailangan pang magkwento. Dahil sa tuwing naalala ko, nasasaktan lang ako. Because he was my first boyfriend. My first kiss. My first everything. Except from that. He said he respect me and he will wait till we are in the appropriate age and we are married.

But we can't do it. It's too damn impossible. He's already gone.

Sa kabila ng pagdradrama ko. I need to focus on this investigation! Kailangan kong mapatunayan ang sarili ko sa mga magulang ko. And you know what? Si Dad ang nagbigay ng walang kwentang case na ito. What a lame case!
