Nang makabalik ako sa Police Department ay naroon na si Loua kasama ang parents n'ya.
I smirked at the sight of her face. Her brows are crossed and her eyes are painted with confusion and shock. I can't blame her tho.
"Tita, ano po 'to?" she innocently asked to mom with her usual angelic voice.
"Loua dear, may itatanong lang si Detective sa 'yo about Elly's case," mom reassured. Napairap na lang ako sa kanila.
"Alright. Anything for Elly, tita," Loua replied and flashed a smile before going inside the interrogation room with the detective.
"Priscilla, I don't understand it," it was Loua's mom.
"Mardie, tatanungin lang s'ya," paliwanag ni mommy. Pero mukhang hindi kumbinsido ang mommy ni Loua. No wonder, she's a frustrated lawyer who can't make it to the bar exam.
"If she's brought here just for the interrogation, then why did the polices ran a fingerprint test to her two days ago? It's not what I think, right?" Loua's mom clarified. Puno ng pag-aalala ang boses n'ya.
Mom's eyes went down. Enough for the woman upfront her to fully understand the situation.
"My god, Priscilla! I can't believe you! My daughter is not a murderer!" Without a second, she bursted and mom was quick to defend the situation.
"It's not what you think, Mardie. Naniniwala akong walang kinalaman si Loua sa pagkamatay ng batang Olivar," saad ni mommy at saglit na napatigil.
"It's just that..."
"What? God, I'll drag my daughter away from that room now."
"I'm desperate, Mardie. Gusto ko nang makita ang anak ko," wika ni mommy na nag-uumpisa ng maging emosyonal.
"Bullshit! It doesn't give you the just for just dragging other's daughter to your mess and make her responsible for it. Iuuuwi ko na ang anak ko!" she firmly stated.
"I'm so sorry, Mardie. I'm so sorry for this," panghingi ng tawad ni mommy na s'yang ikina-ikot ng mga mata ko.
"Freedo! Ihanda mo na ang sasakyan at aalis na tayo," utos ni Mardie sa kan'yang asawa na noo'y nakikipag-usap kay daddy.
I walked towards their direction and stood in between her and mom. Bahagya kong itinulak si mommy paatras na ngayon ay umiiyak na. Tsk.
"I saw them," pagsisimula ko na s'yang umagaw sa atensyon n'ya.
"What?" She asked with her face painted with tension.
"I saw Elly and Loua fighting a week before my twin went missing," I answered with a stoic face.
"So it was you, huh? Melly, since when did you care about Elly that now you're naming someone to be responsible for her mess?" sarkastiko n'yang wika saka ako binigyan ng matalim na tingin.
"She's entitled, Mardie. Loua's entitled with it," I firmly stated in a disrespectful manner.
"How dare you!" Rinig kong sigaw n'ya bago lumapag sa pisngi ko ang palad n'ya. Well, that was a good slap. Enough to get everyone's attention.
"How dare me," I lowly uttered with a chuckle. Conspicuously mocking her.
"Mardie, what's going on?" biglang dating ng asawa n'ya. Kasunod nito ay si dad na binalingan lang ako ng tingin.
"Mardie, please. Let's not make a scene here," pakiusap ni mommy na sinuklian lang ni Mardie ng isang sarkastikong ngisi.
"Freedo, ilabas mo si Loua mula sa kwartong iyon. Ngayon din. Uuwi na tayo," utos n'ya sa kan'yang asawa habang matalim ang tingin sa 'min.
