ILANGminuto na rin kaming naglalakad ni Tetsuya from the Poirotea Cafepero, kahit na salita man lang or details ng mga pwede naming gawinay wala pa siyang sinasabi.
"You did greatout there alone Dave," sabi ni Tetsuya. Ewan ko ba at bigla akonakaramdam ng pamumula. Wait. No, no, no! Focus! Na-overwhelm ka langdahil sa na-achieve mo today kaya mo nararamdaman 'to Dave!
Nagulat si Tetsunang hampasin ko ang mukha ko. Well, I just did that to make myselffocus.
"Saan na batayo pupunta Tetsu?" tanong ko.
"We will bemeeting Cassandra sa cafe malapit sa dorm nila," sagot niya withhis trademark emotionless face.
After walking foraround 30 minutes ay nag-abang kami nang pedicab that took us around25 more minutes bago kami nakarating sa sinasabing cafe ni Tetsuya.
Pagkababa namin aysinalubong kami agad ni Cassandra. Habang papalapit sa amin siCassandra ay palingon-lingon siya sa paligid niya, maybe to check ifthere is someone following her.
Pagkapasok namin,sinundan namin siya papunta sa pinaka-sulok na bahagi ng Cafe. Maybeto prevent the stalker from following us. Then, bago siya umupo aylumingon siya uli to check if there is someone following us. But,buti na lang ay walang nakasunod.
"I-I'm sorryguys if I still have to ask you to come all the way here. Ayoko nalang sana lumayo dahil feeling ko, sobrang delikado kapag lumayo akonang mag-isa," nakayukong humingi nang paumanhin si Cassandra.
"It's fine.Your safety is always going to be our first priority." Ianswered with a smile.
"Anyways Cass,may updates or new actions na ba na ginawa ang stalker?" tanongni Tetsuya.
Wait? Cass? Tetsuyais now giving her a nickname, uh. Hmm... Ano iyon, tulad ng Tetsuyana naging Tetsu, o kaya naman 'yung Cassandra ay ginawa niyangCassy? What am I thinking? I should focus myself on the case.
"Yeah. Nagsendna naman siya nang creepy gift na iniwan niya right in front of mydoorstep sa dorm ko. It's so yuck!" naiiyak niya nang sabi.Rinig na rinig ko ang pagbigkas niya ng salitang 'yuck.'
"What did hesend you?" tanong ko sa kanya.
"H-He sent me abox, a box full of dead rats and cockroaches. It's so yuck anddisgusting. F*ck him! I want this to end! Please," naiiyak nasabi ni Cassandra. Grabe naman 'yang stalker na yan! Napaka-kadiriat baboy niya!
"Cass? I've gotnews for you. We already started our investigation and it hasalready been 5 days since then," sabi ni Tetsuya kay Cassandra.Nagulat ako nang bigla na lang siyang tumayo mula sa kina-uupuanniya.
"Wait? What?So, may mga results na ba? Alam mo na ba kung sino itong stalkerna 'to? Please, tell me! I can't take it any longer!" malakasngunit mangiyak-ngiyak na sabi ni Cassandra. Kaunti na lang at parangbibigay na siya.
"Yes. We havesome people na malaki ang chance na sila nga ang culprit. Pero ofcourse, syempre we still have to confirm things. We still need alittle more time and we will close this case, Cass," sagot sakanya ni Tetsuya.
"Who? Who arethose bastards?!" Cassandra said while clenching at her fist.
"First, youneed to calm down please," pakiusap ko sa kanya. Then, she satdown at pinainom na muna namin siya nang tubig. After that, medyonakahinga na siya ng maluwag.
"S-so sino naang stalker?" tanong niya na tila parang nagmamakaawa.
"Ang posiblengstalke-" Hindi ko natapos ang sasabihin ko, nang hawakan ako sabalikat ni Tetsuya.
"I am so sorrybut we still can't provide or disclose it. We still need enough proofor evidence, para mapatunayan na isa sa mga suspected stalker natinay ang tunay na culprit ditto," sabi ni Tetsuya with a veryserious face.
