Waves After Waves ( Love Of Attraction Series 1)

KABANATA 3

"ATTORNEY, hindi ka pa ba uuwi?"

"I still have something to finish, bro, mauna kana."

"Mag o-overtime ka?" He asked and looked at the papers na hawak ko. I took it away from him but it was too late because he had already seen it. "Ohh, si Nicole Medina 'to diba?" He said and snatched the papers from my hand. My ears tingled when he mentioned the name... "Idol ko 'to bro, sobrang ganda niya sa personal at magaling umarte. She's also very hot and looks masarap ---"

"Shut up, Cayden!" I cut him off.

"Ohh! Bro, just calm down. I'm just saying just in case hindi mo siya kilala." He said and read the papers. "Wait, what are these?" Aniya at mas inilapit pa sa mukha ang mga papel.

"Siya ang dahilan kung bakit namatay si Abi!" Mariin kong saad.

"What?" Natatawa niyang tanong. "Seriously, bro? Ganito ka gandang nilalang pagbibintangan mo? Ang alam ko magkaibigan sila ng fiance mo,  kaya..." He was still laughing as if I was joking. "Bro, we're not like that."

"I'm not kidding, kung hindi dahil sa kanya, buhay pa sana ang fiancee ko! Pinatay niya si Abi! Kriminal ang babaeng 'yan!"

"And I'm not kidding either, bro." He said as if he couldn't believe it. "You have no evidence na magpapatunay na siya ang pumatay sa fiancee mo."

"Sa ngayon... At kapag napatunayan ko na siya nga, then I will make sure that she will rot in jail!" Mataman kung sinabi.

"Bro, as far as I know, it was an accident ... so why are you blaming Nicole?" He asked frowning. I did not speak. "Dahil ba... she was the only one who survived in the accident?... Does that mean she did it?" Hindi pa rin ako nagsalita. "Come on Lance, bro, hindi ka ba naaawa sa kanya? Kasama siya sa mga naaksidente at hindi ko masasabi na  nakaligtas na siya totally dahil hanggang ngayon hindi parin siya nagkakamalay."

"Cayden, I don't feel pity for criminals you know that... they should be killed or tortured!" I said emphatically.

"But she's not a criminal, bro."

"Sa ngayon."

"Because you haven't proven it yet?"

"Because I haven't proven it yet." Matamam kong sinabi.

"Paano kung wala naman talaga siyang kinalaman at totoong aksidente ang nangyari?"

"Then she's acquitted."

"No bro, I know, it was an accident. Even if you can prove it. I know she's innocent."

"You do not know her."

"Lance, aren't you thinking? She was in the car when it fell into the ravine, kaya paano mo naisip na may kinalaman siya o kaya siya mismo ang pumatay sa mga kasamahan niya?" He asked. I did not speak. "Alam kong alam mo that your fiance was died in an accident and was not killed by anyone." He added.

I know he has a point but that doesn't mean I will believe that Nicole had nothing to do with what happened.  Hangga't hindi ko napapatunayan na wala nga siyang kinalaman hindi ako titigil.

"I won't stop until I've proven that she's innocent."

"Then what are you going to do? Are you going to investigate her?" Natatawa niyang tanong na para bang naloloko na ako.

"Yes."

"Bro, ano bang pumasok sa utak mo at iniisip mong si Nicole ang pumatay sa fiance mo eh alam naman nating dalawa na namatay siya dahil sa isang aksidente?" Tanong niya. Napailing naman ako.

"Cayden, malaki ang posibilidad na hindi aksidente ang nangyari."

"How can you say that? Ano 'yon, pinatay niya ang mga kasamahan niya kasama ang driver tapos sinadya niyang ihulog ang sasakyan nila sa ravine? Ganun? That was impossible! Alam ba niyang maaari siyang mamatay kapag ganun?" Naiiling niyang tanong.
