Gloomy Blossom

Chapter 16

I was crying while half running going to police station. It was almost 1:00 in the morning and i am so devastated. I can't even barely breathe. Nasaan si Marcus? All I know is his father has something to do with this. If I have just known earlier this days,right at the moment when even the derated news offer itself to me. Nasa police station na ako and there are reporters around the station. Some of them are resting on the hood of their cars. Others are eating. Nag aantay siguro sila ng balita tungkol kay Marcus. I run going to the station. I heard murmurs around the area. Baka akala nila Im one of the reporters. Dumiretso ako sa isang detective na nakatayo.

"Sir, may balita na ba kayo kay Marcus?"nginig kong sabi.

"Sino ka? Reporter ka ba? Lumabas ka rito!"sigaw nito.

Hinawakan na ako sa braso. Pumipiglas ako.

"I am his girlfriend!"I shouted.

Bumaling lahat ng tao sakin. I was push in front of the detective. Bigla akong pinososan ng mga pulis na nakagapos sakin.

"What are you doing?" taranta kong sabi. WHAT'S HAPPENING?!

"Ikaw ang huli niyang kasama? diba?"

Gulong gulo ako. Someone stood up in the corner.

"Siya nga. Siya yung nakita kong nasa sasakyan."sigaw ng isang lalaki. Wait. Who is this?

"Anong nangyayari dito?"sigaw ko.

"Are you telling me,Im the culprit? Kung ako man. Why would I go here?!"sabi ko.

"Sa korte ka na magpaliwanag. Ang daming nakakita at nakarinig sa inyo sa park."

Pinaupo ako sa swivel chair and the cameras are blinding me outside. Im gritting my teeth.

"Ako ang magpapakulong sayo! Pagkatapos mo akong pagbintangan agad!"sigaw ko.

Biglang bumukas ang pinto. Patakbong sinalo ako ni Trisha and saw my handcuffed hands. I look away. This is so humiliating.

"Remove that handcuffs! Kung ayaw niyong lahat kayo matanggal sa trabaho!"Trisha shouted.

"At sino ka ha? Kung lawyer ka man niya. She's not under arrest. She's just in custody."the poloce officer explained.

"Kasama ka ba sa dumakip?"tanong ng isang officer.

The officer slaps his nape.

Trisha look at the officer who asked.

"If I answered that, talagang matatanggal ka sa trabaho." Trisha smirked.

I don't know what's going on but Trisha seems knew how to handle this. Oh thank god if really.

The police officer stays silent and sweating.

"Now the choices is in me, if I answered or not, right?" Trisha look at the guy sitting in a desk. He is wearing a headphone. He is trying to turn off something,i think it is a recording audio.

"Turn that off and you are all dead."Trisha said. The guy look up and saw Trisha's deadly eyes.

"Don't push me." Trisha said and went near in the recording area. She removes the headphone in the guy's head.

"I want you all listen. I have the evidence here that you are interrogating one of the suspicious suspect and you all know that is against the law. Now you have to deal with me. Cause one move you are all unemployed."Trisha tap something in beside her. It is a likely a box. She turned off something. She explained everything what happened today. I feel like crying. Wala pa akong tulog. I was so deadly worried about Marcus but then they are accusing me that I commited kidnapping. I look at Trisha and she was doe narrating what had happened. She insert a flash drive in a computer. I saw myself in the screen. She paused it. And she  point out the time. She asked the officers when was the kidnapping happened and it happened right after I went away. Kaya ba pinasakay niya ako bigla sa taxi. May nakita ba siya? Kung wala na si Marcus ngayon. I will blame myself forever. I said something to him that kills him. I was already crying. I cried and everybody are looking at me.

"Please. Wala akong alam! Pleaseeee. Help me. ----Help me find him." I cried.

"Pleaseeee!"I shouted while crying. The video is still rolling. In my life , I never notice that there's cctv outside my dorm until...Trisha backward it. Marcus face is close enough in the camera. I can't believe it. He was the one who installed the CCTV. I began sobbing.

"Hi, Rain. I don't know if you'll be seeing this or notice it. HAHAHA I'm sorry. I just want to protect you. Alam kong alam mo na yung threat ..." He stayed silent. I can see in his eyes that he's afraid but he's trying to be strong. "I miss you." he sadly said. "I wish you forgive me. But still Im happy to see you again." he smiled tenderly. Muntik na siyang mahulog kaya bumaba na ito sa pinatungan nito. He glance once again in the camera and waves goodbye. I sobbed on the top of my lungs. I begged on the police officers to find him.

"Please! Find him!" I said kneeling ny heart out while my hands are cuffed.

"Parang awa niyo na.Tulungan niyo akong hanapin siya." sabi ko while still knelling and crying.

Trisha looked at me and look away. She wiped her tears.

"Uncuff her!" Trisha shouted. The police officers run to uncuff me. After they uncuff me. I grab one of the officers leg and beg.

"Please. Help me find him." I said while hugging his leg. The officer is trying to help me stand up but i refuse until they answer me a sincere YES.

" We will find him,Ms. Reyes." The detective said in the corner.

"Hindi tayo titigil hangga't hindi natin siya nahahanap."he added and walk away

I want to go after him and give him a big hug to thank him. Pero wala na akong lakas to chase him. I look around and tried to stand up but I cant. Dali daling tumakbo si Trisha sa pwesto ko at sinalo ako.

"Rain! Okay ka lang?" sigaw ni Trisha.

I held her hand to support me standing up but all I can see is black until I passed out and Trisha's voice is all I can hear. Lord, please help me find my man. This time, help me fight with his situation. I won't let him go again.
