Hindi pumayag ang jury while the judge was silent. Lahat nagbubulong bulungan na. Isa lang naman ang lumalabas sa mga bungnga, wala nang iba kung hindi ang salitang "baliw". They called her crazy for her statement.



Josiah was insulted and hearing all of them samantalang si Igloria tamang paikot ikot lang sa upuan. She can't feel emotional pain, and Josiah pity her for that.



In the middle of gossiping, everyone was caught off guard ng biglang bumagsak ang katabing abogado ni Jury Vasco. 



Inikot ni Igloria pabalik sa harap ang upuan, she was confused when all of them are staring at her with madness.



Tumuon ang mata niya sa tumbang abogado. Napuno siya ng pagtataka kung bakit nasa kaniya ang ang galit kung wala naman siyang kasalanan.



Tumingin siya kay Josiah na kakalapit lang sakanya. 



"Nakuha mo pa talagang magpa-ikot ikot jan habang ito ako nag-aalala sa'yo." ani Josiah at itinukod ang mga braso sa lamesa.



"I'm just chilling," ngumiti ito. "alam ko naman kasing ikaw lang ang naniniwala sa akin, kasi kung hindi wala ka rito ngayon."



That made Josiah's heart melt. Siya na lang ang meron si Igloria at si Igloria na lang ang meron siya. Papaniwalaan niya talaga ito dahil sa simula pa lang, kasama niya na ito.



"You'll be out in that fucking jail. I assure you."



Napatango na lamang si Igloria. Josiah stood beside her. May medic nang pumasok, and when the medic was gone with  the lawyer who was shoot. The policeman walked towards them.



"May papel ang bala." he informed. Rinig ng judge iyon ngunit hindi na nila pinansin.


Josiah take the paper. Nagulat na lang sila dahil nakatayo na ang judge sa tabi ng pulisya at nakiki-usisa sakanila.


"Taking every places is my thing. Better be ready." pagbasa ni Josiah, nangunot ang noo ni Gazchela at binaliktad ang papel. "One more thing, I missed playing with you Romero-Aldrin... It's a dissapointment dahil hindi ko kayo naubos."


"Si Sister siguro iyan." Gazchela commented, her tone was happy that made Josiah stared at her frowning. Ngumisi ngisi si Gazchela. "Kalandian mong madre hindi mo alam penmanship." she joked.


Josiah was too focused on her, pinisil niya ang pisnge nito hanggang sa hinampas siya ni Gazchela at gumanti rin siya. Both of them just stopped ng may tumikhim and they just realized na nasa harapan nila ang judge.
