Nandito kami ngayon sa Parke ni Rizal sa pinapasukan naming university. Since wala namang klase, tumambay muna kami. Maraming place sa university ang puwedeng pagtambayan ngunit ito ang napili namin para na rin makapag-unwind. Ito kasing kasama ko ay nalipad pa rin ang isip, kaysa sa mag-mall ngunit mukha siyang tuod ay mas mabuti nang ‘wag na, ‘di ba? Para saan pa kung hindi rin mag-e-enjoy.
“Care to share?” Hindi na ako nakatiis. Katahimik niya kasi, hindi naman siya gan’yan.
Hindi siya sumagot at tinignan lang ako na parang nakatingin sa kawalan.
“C'mon! Spill the tea.”
She takes deep breath before she answered my question. “It's nothing. Don't mind me.”
Bahagyang nabakurba ang isa kong kilay. “Tell me Ngo, how can I? As long as I see you wearing that sad face I can't help myself but worry.”
“May iniisip lang ako. Don’t worry, I’m fine,” she replied.
“And what's that anyway?” I know what's the thing running in her mind, or should I rather say the thing which is currently bothering her, ngunit ayaw ko naman na manghimasok kaagad ng walang pahintulot kahit pa sabihin na kaibigan niya ako. I know where to put myself. I know when I should make a move and involve myself.
She looked at me with her eyes holding many emotions. They were mixed in such a way that I can’t point a finger on it. “One month had passed but the case of my father still stuck on that day. I don't know what to do now.”
“Patient Ngo,” iyan lang ang tangi kong nasabi.
It’s true. One month na but until now ay hindi pa nausad ang kaso ni Tito.
“Patient? How long? Mabagal ang hustisya, alam ko iyan, pero kasi…..”
Hindi muna ako sumagot dahil alam kong may karugtong pa ang sinabi niya.
“Last week ay nagpunta ako doon at ang sabi nila’y wala pa rin, kulang pa ang mga impormasyon na mayroon sila upang matukoy kung sino ang pumatay. My instinct tells me the otherwise Ngo, pakiramdam ko ay may alam na sila ngunit ayaw nilang ipaalam. Hindi naman dahil sa kasabwat sila or what.”
Nangunot ang aking noo. Anong kalokohan ito? “What do you mean by that?”
“Fear.....” she said it with serious tone.
“Fear?” I don’t get it. But whatever it is, there must be a reason or two as to why.
“Yes, Ngo. I saw it with my own eyes. I saw how feared they were.”
Ah. I get it. “They're in fear by whom?”
She shook her head. “That's the problem. I don’t know the answer just yet.”
Shoot! That’s our problem to resolve the soonest. “Everything will be alright, Ngo. But before anything else, let's go home.”
She need to give herself a break. And while doing that, I’m to take action.
Napahawak siya sa kaniyang tainga at bahagyang napailing. “Okay.”
Habang papunta kami sa parking lot, “Magus,” I called her name
“Hmm?”
“Don't stress yourself ‘kay?”
She smiled “Yup. I'm sorry for making you worry.”
