@The trial court

“Nasaan ka noong gabing naganap ang krimen?” I directly asked the defendant.

Bakit sa lahat nang case ito yung case na  hindi ko mawari saan mapupunta ang kasong ito. I am handling the case of Mr. Luther Son who's accused in killing his whole family, in short I am handling Parricide.

Bakit kasi naisipan nang isang ito patayin yung pamilya n‘ya? Baliw.

“N-nasa bahay, kasama nilang kumakain.” The defendant said.

My eyebrow arched when I heard his word.

“Kung nasa bahay ka at kasamang nakain sila, bakit hindi ka pa patay ngayon?” I asked him in sarcastic tone.

Gotcha! Bakit pa idadaan sa korte ito halata naman na sinadya n‘yang lasunin pamilya n‘ya tsk. Sayang oras ko dito.

“Aba malay ko! Bakit ako tinatanong mo ako ba yung pagkain! Bobo ba kayo?!” the defendant exclaimed. I was surprised in his answer, mukhang wala na talagang panalo ito.

After an hour natapos ang walang kwentang pag dinig, and the defendant plead guilty in the court.

Inayos ko ang sarili ko bago lumabas sa office, my kuya texted me that we have a dinner with dad, I was about open my car when Ace showed up.

“Ceridwen, sa akin kana sumabay,” Ace insist.

Bakit nandito ang pangit na ito? Dapat nasa hospital ito, o baka naman lumalandi ito kaya nandito?

“Why are you here? This is not your field.” I asked.

“Sinusundo ka, Miss kita,” miss? Yak!

“Look Ace, I don't have time for your shits. Alis!”

Minsan hindi ko alam kung manhid ba ito or ano, ilan beses ko nang nireject pero patuloy n‘ya parin ini-insist ang sarili n‘ya sa akin.

Ace, is a player and I'm not a game para maging laro n‘ya.

“Bakit hindi mo ako mapili?”

“Simple. Because I don't like you, and I am busy with my cases.” I spill my last word before I left him.

I saw disappointment sa mukha ni Ace, kaylangan kong gawin ‘yon, hindi pa ako handa sa commitment. Pinaandar kona ang kotse ko at iniwang tulala sa park si Ace.

It is not my intention to hurt him, but I need it.

     Exactly 8:00pm nakarating ako sa resto, I saw kuya who's talking with dad.

“Good evening my kings!” I greeted them with a smile.

“Lil, finally you're here,” kuya muttered.

“Anong sa atin kuya?” I asked.

Bihira lang kami magkaroon ng dinner date tatlo dahil busy sa kanya-kanyang work.

“I want you to handle the case of Amaris Kylie Miller, a friend of mine.” I saw kuya's serious face nang banggitin n‘ya ito.

Friend lang nga ba?

“What's with her?”

“Hinaharass s‘ya ng ex n‘ya, I don't know what kind of harassment pero much better if makausap natin ang biktima.”

“Let's meet her tomorrow kuya, wala naman akong laban bukas, para malaman natin.” I smiled.

After our conversation dumating na ang pagkain namin, tahimik kaming kumakain nang biglang magtanong si kuya Aarth sa akin.
