The girl who cried murder too

Chapter 6 : The why

6. 

The why

Sisa

"Sisa sandali!" Sigaw ng sigaw si Ponzi pero hindi ko siya nililingon, panay lang ang takbo ko paakyat sa hagdang patungo sa rooftop. Curse this building for not having an elevator, anyways, I'm still awesome, no biggie.

Pagbukas ko pa lang ng steel door ay agad nang sumalubong sa akin ang nakakasilaw na sikat ng araw. Pakiramdam ko tuloy map-prito ang mga mata ko.

"What the hell are we doing here?" Sa wakas nakahabol narin sakin si Ponzi kaso hingal na hingal ang ungas at mukhang mahihimatay pa. Weakling. Yung headphones na suot niya, nalaglag narin sa batok niya sa sobrang pagtakbo.

Nilibot ko ang paningin ko sa buong rooftop at napabuntong-hininga na lamang.  "Based on my calculations upon the trajectory and velocity of Penny's free-fall, her descent most likely started from here." 

Bigla akong inakbayan ni Ponzi, "Sigurado ka ba diyan sa pinagsasabi mo?" Ngumisi pa siya.

"Nope! But admit it, I sounded like a genius right?" I cant help but to giggle.

"Fuck yeah." Ponzi said, giggling to. 

We were giggling our asses out as we both high-fived each other. Ugh. We're so cool. Its like he's the boy version of me but he's the way ugly version of me. Awesomeeee! Its like we're twins or something.

I stopped laughing.  I just saw what I was looking for which further supported my hunch. It's time to get serious.

"So bakit nga ulit tayo andito?" Tanong ni Ponzi saka napakamot sa tenga niya. Ngayon ko lang naalala, nakaakbay pa pala ang kabilang kamay niya sakin agad ko itong ibinaba.

"Zosimo please!" I raised my hand and flipped my thick red hair. "Allow me to enlighten you." I smirked.

"What do you see?" Tanong ko sabay turo sa sahig kung saan naroroon ang isang bakas ng putik.

"Probably mud mixed with shit." Kunot-noong sambit ni Ponzi kaya napangiwi ako.

"What does it make out! Idiot!" Giit ko.

"Make-out?" Bigla na lamang siyang ngumisi. Okay, this dude is just so damn hopeless. Bobita.

"These here Zosimo my friend, are foot prints from a heeled shoe!" Paliwanag ko sabay turo sa iba pang mga foot prints na para bang papunta sa edge ng rooftop.

"That doesn't make sense. Ba't may isa pang pares ng mga footprints dito na mukhang panlalake?" Tanong pa ni Ponzi kaya agad akong napanganga sabay taas ng dalawang kilay ko. He's getting the picture, sadyang bobo lang siyang pansinin ito. 

"May dapat ba akong magets?" Naguguluhan niyang sambit kaya napa-facepalm na lamang ako.

Ponzi is the type of person that I could write a 10-paged essay about, but all i'd write are the words fuck and you. Yeah, Ponzi just made it to the list of people I want to kill. Mental murder that is.
