Ecstasy

5

[BULLET]

I was busy most of the week. I got word from Tikoy na may naghahanap sa anak ni Senator Monteclaro. It's a woman named Isla Ignacia Ibañez, otherwise known as 3I. Her background is, she works for the senator's political rival at sa isang private sector company na pagmamay ari ng mga magulang niya. Of course, she does not know that I exist, yet.

So hinanap ko ang records ni Jo here in the country, anything that could prove na anak siya ni Senator Monteclaro. Pumunta ako sa hospital kung saan pinanganak si Jo, I looked everywhere for her birth certificate and replaced it with a fake, I revisited the rehab facilities na nag-hold kay Jo before to make sure na wala silang sasabihin sa kahit kanino tungkol kay Jo. Pati ang annulment lawyer ng parents ni Jo, pinuntahan ko. I paid them off and I made the rehab facilities sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Sa family ni Jo kung saan siya nakatira ngayon, it is safe because those are her father's relatives so Salvacion ang apilyedo ng mga yun. It has also been long since Jo used or even wrote her middle name in any record here in campus. Dahil yun sa hatred niya sa nanay niya. She tells people na wala siyang middle name and that she never met her mother.

Pero hindi lang yun ang problema ko tungkol kay Jo. Nagsimula ang lahat two weeks ago. Kumalat sa campus ang isang balita. It's from one of our batchmates, pero from a different department. Sa engineering yata or architecture nanggaling ang balitang yun. Tungkol kay sir Lagman.

The rumors go like this: nagpunta sa bar si babae on a saturday night then she met this guy and they flirted and they drank. After that, they checked in on a hotel and had sexual intercourse. Sabi ni babae, it was great and that she was shocked to see said guy here in campus the week after. Yun ang unang kwento.

Yung pangalawa is this: a girl was swiping right and left sa dating app then she saw our philosophy prof. Nag-swipe right siya as a joke or just because. Tapos to her surprise, nag-match sila ni sir Lagman and they went for coffee and in the end, they had sexual intercourse.

Rumors about stories like that of sir Lagman has been spreading recently. Pang-limang kwento na yung narinig namin kahapon mula sa isang kaklase nila Migo. The girl said na nasa isang hang out place daw siya and so on tapos same ending lang rin as the others.

Dahil sa mga story na yun narealize ko na maliit lang pala ang mundo. Hindi naman sinumbong sa board of directors ng campus si sir Lagman because he does those things outside the campus.

Pero hindi maganda ang naging epekto noon kay Jo. Ngayong linggo lang, inaraw-araw niya na naman ang pag-take ng ecstasy. Nung Monday hanggang Wednesday, sinabi niya sa'kin na hindi siya nakatulog. Thursday, she was eating and eating then Friday she took more drugs besides ecstasy. Saturday, she was at home, just inside her room, binge watching a series while she's high.
