BDSM SOCIETY: A Gentleman's Kiss

CHAPTER 34| Arraignment

A/N: Hello, the information/data incorporated below is solely based on my researches and understanding. If you found something irrelevant that needs correction, carefree and respectfully message me. Thank you!

……

Mom filed a complaint as soon as she heard me speaking. Alam kong ito iyong hinihintay nila na marinig sakin. Ang pumayag na mag-imbestiga sa nangyari sakin. But this wasn't an investigation anymore. Pieces of evidence were being shown.

I was waiting for them in the house. Sila ang umasikaso sa lahat. I was simply given updates to what's going on outside. Pumupunta lang ako sa prosecutor's office kapag kailangan ng information galing sakin, and it only happened twice when I had to be interviewed and needed to narrate what had happened that night. I couldn't give a proper narration for the first day, so I had to send home to sober. I only had given them the things I could recall the second time I was called.

Napatayo ako nang bumukas ang double door at pumasok sina Mommy.

"What happened?" I nervously asked as soon as they got near me.

"The pieces of evidence we have were of probable cause. The judge will issue the arrest warrant tomorrow."

I smiled faintly while quivering. "That's good..." I commented, feeling relieved.

Everything was in chaos the moment Hashim was arrested on the spot of preparing for his wedding. He was caught and arrested while fitting his tuxedo. The BDSM Society's fans were enraged. Nahahati ang paniniwala nila. And I couldn't blame them for that. They knew nothing. And they loved the band they're idolizing.

Iniisip ko kung ano na ang mangyayari sa banda nila Kaushan. Of course, they'd be disbanded. Each one of them worked hard for the recognition they had right now. Kung wala ang isa sa kanila, walang BDSM Society na mamahalin ng mga tao. I knew how they cared for each other.

"Why are you sad?" Krause asked as to which made me surprised. Hindi ko alam na nakapasok na pala siya sa kwarto ko.

"Hey, why are you here?" I asked him and tapped the space beside my bed. Lumapit siya sakin at sumampa sa tabi ko.

"Why are you sad?" he reiterated while looking at me.

I tousled his hair and hugged him. Minsan lang siya ganito kaya susulitin ko nalang. May pumatak na luha sa mga mata ko nang maramdaman kong yumakap siya pabalik.

"Do you want to hear a story?" I sensed him nodding and leaned his head on me. "There's this lady whose wonted is to party all night..."

I taled him my story from another person's point of view.

"Did you hate the lady?" Niyakap ko nalang siya at hinalikan sa noo nang makitang tulog na siya. "Sana mapatawad mo si mommy..."

I indulged myself hugging him as he was asleep. Ngayon ko lang nayakap nang ganito ang anak ko. Nakakapanghinayang na hindi ko siya nakitang lumaki. Kung paano siya gumapang at nagsimulang tumayo. Ano kaya ang unang salita na lumabas sa bibig niya?

Someone rapped my door.

"Come in," mahina ang boses kong sabi ngunit sapat na para marinig ng kumakatok.

"Ma'am—" Napahinto naman siya nang makita ako at si Krause. "May bisita po kayo sa labas," imporma niya.

"Sino?" kunot ang noo kong tanong. "Bakit hindi mo pinapasok?" puno ko.

"Eh, ayaw po pumasok, Ma'am, eh. Gusto lang daw po kayo makausap. Hindi ko po kilala pero pamilyar po siya." Tumango ako saka pinabantayan sa kaniya si Krause bago bumaba upang harapin ang gustong kumausap sakin.
