I FIXED MY black coat to ease the nervousness for today's trial. I hope everything will happen according to our plan.
"Guess who came, the almighty attorney." I looked at the woman walking in my direction. She is clapping, mockingly.
She is still herself. Have that bitchy attitude.
"You want to fight me?" I asked, smiling.
"Sorry. Hindi ako nakikipag bardagulan," she mockingly replied.
"Oh," I acted surprised, "Because you don't want to be put in prison for beating an Attorney."
She mockingly laughs, "I never met any woman as brave as you," she replied, "Matapang ka pa rin at walang inuurungan."
Her expression changed when she gets a flash drive inside the pocket of her coat. My expression also changed.
"Take it," aniya at inihagis sa akin ang flashdrive dahilan para saluhin ko ito. I have my reason to hate Monet but I was thankful that she also had her reason to help me on this case. "I know that you can't prove his crime with that. It does not show him stabbing Mira, so it's not valid evidence."
It made me curious what's on this flash drive and how did she get it.
"Once you reveal that footage, people will believe that Mira was killed by Albin," she added.
"How... did you get this?" May pag-aalangang tanong ko.
Her eyes went bigger and her mouth form a shaped "o" because of shock. "Come on, Attorney! Pinagduduhan mo pa rin ako?" she replied, "It was footage from Mira's place that Pathologist Fabio gave to us."
She really changed. Doing this will make her Dad really mad. I'm happy that she can do what she wants when it comes to justice.
Monet raised her eyebrows at me. "Why are you smiling? You look like a dog."
I didn't respond any word to her and she just passed me while smiling at my reaction.
I sigh deeply as I shake my head and I say, "Okay." I must be confident in today's trial. I came this far and I did a great job.
I opened the door and enter the courtroom. The audience is filled with media personnel, policemen, politicians, that even the chief justice attends. The media is all over the place, busy typing on their laptops. I also see Ahkeem, patiently waiting.
Iginaya ko ang aking mata at nakita ko si Monet at Enzo na magkatabi. They seem so awkward with each other. I line on my lips keep rising when I saw Curran smiling at me and whispering in the air.
"I'm rooting on you always, my Attorney."
Sic is also on the witness stand. He is calm and ready to witness the trial today. For the last time, I looked in the courtroom to find him. But I failed. I guess he will not attend.
