Seventh Agent (Tantei High)

Eight

All mistakes were mine.

Akemi.

"I need some time with you, too"

Shivers went down to my spine, what does he mean? C'mon, ilang gabi niya na akong ginugulo at hindi ako makatulog kakaisip sa mga sinasabi niya. Something's telling me na ako lang yata yung nagbibigay ng malisya, but what if diba?

"A-ano?" I asked trying to compose myself.

"I said I need some time with you. We need to discuss about the case" and again he continued to drag me papunta kay Miyu.

Ah ganoon naman pala iyon, ako lang pala talaga naglalagay ng malice. Pumasok na kami kay Miyu at binati kami nito na ginantihan lang namin ng isang smile. Alam kong mukhang ewan, hindi naman kasi makikita ni Miyu yun kaya nagsalita siya ulit at binati kami.

We chuckled and both greeted Miyu back.

"Okay, so Akemi. Sino sa tingin mo ang suspect?" he asked at parang nagkaintindihan kami, parang alam niya na yung sagot ko at parang ganoon din yung sagot niya kaso katulad ko, we still don't have much clues.

"I have a feeling about her. Masyado siyang nagpapakita ng clues" sabi ko at nakisang-ayon naman siya by nodding and pulling his thinking face on.

"Alam ko, but we need to hear the suspects alibis" he said at nangalumbaba, I tried to put up the clues we've heard in my mind at alam kong ganoon din yung iniisip ni Hiro.

Then I thought of what he said earlier, "So, akala ko ba cupcakes?" I said and he showed a sly smile habang tinitignan yung cellphone niya.

After a few minutes of scrolling, may pinakita siya sa akin na picture in his Iphone. A picture of two cookie monster cupcakes, alam ko ang hilig ni Mama.. niya, cookie monster is one of her favorites. Talagang naahad siya ng oras para magbigay ng gift kay Mama, even though masyado siyang busy.

Ang galing niya sa time management.

May alam akong recipe ng cupcake mix, tinuro ko na siya kay Akane, na gustong-gusto ni Mama, at for sure kapag nalaman niyang galing kay Hiro yun syempre she'll jump high in the sky because of joy.

"Akala ko bang aalis na tayo?" biglang bumukas yung door ni Miyu at napatingin kami doon. Siguro, mamaya ko nalang ibibigay yung recipe kay Hiro.

"Yes, but we need to wait for the others" Hiro stated.

I shook my head upwards and downwards repeatedly to show my agreement at napa-tss nl lamang si Ken at sumalampak sa isa sa mga couches. Guess he doesn't have a choice.

"May cupcake recipe ka bang alam?" tanong ni Hiro at um-oo ako.

"Tinuruan ko na si Akane na gawin yun, remember that time yung nagluto siya on our way back?" tanong ko kay Hiro.

Naalala ko pa nun when Akane thought na si Ken yung kumuha, turns out it was Lux all along. Natatawa pa nga ako sa reaction ni Akane, she was about to cry that time kask kulang yung cipupcakes niya.

"Yeah, I haven't tasted the cupcakes pero ibigay mo nalang sakin ang reci-"

"Can you guys not talk about cupcakes? I'm irritated" sabi ni Ken at nagulat kaming pareho ni Hiro.

Oops, I smell grumpyness. Haha, gets niyo? I used the term 'smell' kasi doon related yung sixth sense ni Ken. I was worried, kahit na nag-joke ako ng korny, kasi he was always the jolly type at hindi kami sanay na he's silent.

Sumunod na din sila Reiji,Riye at Akane. Nalungkot naman ako kasi hindi sasama si Lux, nandoon na daw kasi si Ms. Reina at siya nalang daw yung magbabantay since sinabi sa kanya ni Riye yung nangyari. Mas mabuti na muna ito.
