Is it Worth Fighting for? (Pride Series #1)

Chapter 40

ZARNIAH'S POV

It's a month of November, my mom and mama were busy planning on their wedding. 20th of December was the exact date of their wedding, hindi ko sila inaabala baka lalong ma-busy sila.

Nakilala ko naman ang mga friends ni mama, halos pumupunta na nga rito every saturday evening. All goods naman na raw sila ni mom, so I don't have anything to worry about.

Iba ang bahay namin ngayon, its full of love and joy now malayong malayo sa dati na parating may kulang. Gabi narin akong umuuwi kasi may training kami, sinusundo naman ako ni mama. Si Mommy lang ata ang pinaka matagal umuwi sa amin eh.

The month of November was so hustle for them. Maraming kasong kailangan matapos before 2nd week of December, halos isang buwan rin kasi ang pahinga nina mommy. Kaya nga every December noon ay wala kaming ibang ginagawa kundi ang mamasyal.

"Sa'n ba plano magpakasal ng Mommy mo?" tanong sa akin ni Tita Louise.

"Out of this country po ata tita. You know naman na hindi pa open rito ang same sex marriage" I am with my titas right now. Ganito sila palagi sa akin eh, they visit me all the time.

"Just tell us which country para kahit papaano ay makatulong kami" saad ni Tita Sky.

"Please do tell your mom na sagot ko na ang sa transportation" ba't ang bait ng mga tita ko'ng 'to?

"Maybe Luna can help us with the foods. May mga branches naman 'yon ng restaurants n'ya worldwide" tumango lang ako sa sinabi ni Tita Sky.

"Andami n'yo namang naitulong tita, may budget naman po sila mommy" napatawa naman ang dalawa.

"We know your mom, ayaw niyang humingi ng tulong lalo na't walang kapalit. Kaya sasabihin namin sa mommy mo na 'yon na ang gift namin sa kanya" Tita Louise then winked at me.

Marami pa kaming pinag-usapan nina Tita, dumating pa nga sina Tito eh kaya ayon sobrang spoiled ko naman sa kanila. For sure magagalit si Mommy nito sa mga pinagbibili nila sa akin.

ATHENA'S POV

I am here inside at the trial court. This would be the last case that I will handle in this month. But that doesn't mean I wouldn't get busy, I still have to visit my company.

It's my time to show some evidence. Agad ko namang ibinigay ang phone ko doon sa mag operate. Nakakaramdam ako ng kaba kasi 'yong personal phone ang gamit ko para sa mga evidences, na lowbatt kasi 'yong para talaga sa trabaho ko.

"Please show the 1st image" I said at lumabas ang fingerprint. "As you can see, it is a biometrics. Kaninong fingerprint 'to? Next please" the picture shows fingerprints matches. "Well the crime is indeed a tricky one, but the killer forgot to use some gloves so he won't leave some fingerprints on his knife"

My phone suddenly rings, it was a text message. Hindi muna ako lumingon, for sure nag pop up na 'yon. Pvta, ito talaga ang kinakatakotan ko eh. The crowd is now filled with a teasing cheer. Lumingon ako para makita 'yon.

'Hey I know you have trials today. Goodluck and give all your best to your job, hon. I'm so proud of you. Mahal na mahal ka ni SPO2 Martirez' agad nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa nabasa ko. Pvtek.
