Unexpected Love

Chapter 11

Saturday evening.

I'm at Misty's place, getting ready for the night out.

"Let's do your hair. Ano bang gusto mo?" asked Misty.

'What kind of hairstyle do I want?'

Aha, braid.

Love it! I should really put on some makeup!

I choose the smokey eyes makeup.

'Classic yet modern!'

After we had finished dressing up, I find out more about the case from Misty.

"You know anything about that nightclub -- The Pirate Ship?" I asked.

"Wow, Nathalie, you surprise me! It's a hard to imagine that YOU going out to such a place!"

"Nooo, no..."

"We don't have enough money for that place. Bakit mo tinatanong sakin yan?"

"Hmmm, well..the place was...mentioned sa case ko, and I thought makapagsabi ka sakin ng tungkol sa club na iyon."

"Well, I've heard stories. The owner's daughter, Valerie, does her hair in my salon."

"Ano gusto niya?"

"Hysterical, impulsive, spends tonds of money. Her dad tries to keep an eye to her all the time. He treats her like a kid, calls her "his little girl", and she hates it. He has employees that follow her everywhere. They report to him later..."

"Anything else she complained about?"

"Uh, how her dad won't let her take part in the family business. May-ari sila ng mga clubs at cafes. She wants to run one herself..."

"Ambitious girl."

"Yeah, but with her temper, whatever she runs would go down in flames.."

"Boyfriends?"

"Oh, it was hard to keep track. It's a different one every couple of weeks..with a lot of...overlaps."

"I see."

"Basically, ginagawa niya lahat ng gusto niyang gawin, her father cleans up her mess, mainly by bribing people."

"Did she mention a musician boyfriend, maybe?"

"There was this guitar player. Usually, she is the heart-breaker, but this guy got to her. Nakikipagflirt siya sa waitress ng club and often met with his ex-girlfriend.."

"Kailan niya iyan sinabi?"

"A month ago.. At the time na di pa siya sure na nakikipagkita ang boyfriend niya sa ex niya and she was totally freaking out."

"Huh.."

"Are we finished with questioning, inspector?"

'I've overreacted, what to say to Misty?'

Apologize.

"Sorry, Misty. It's gonna be "all play, no work" the entire night, I promise."

"OK, let's get dressed and hit the town!"

"Yeah!"

"Ano isusuot mo?"

'Ano nga ba ang isusuot ko?'

Aha, Fancy jumpsuit.

"Is this jumpsuit okay?"

"Classic!" Said Misty.

"Now that you've approved my outfit, pwede na tayo umalis?"

"Yes!"
