Chapter 20.

Chapter 20.

Malakas na bumuntong hininga si Yasser habang sinusuklay ang buhok na napunta sa mukha niya gamit ang kamay, palikod, saka pagod na tinignan si Eve.

"Just where are you getting those twigs from, Eve? Do you play around the forest? That's dangerous, don't do that okay?" Yasser said and picked up the twigs Eve brought to him while smiling, and threw it outside through the window.

Mabilis namang tumayo si Eve mula sa pagkakaupo saka patakbong nagpunta sa labas. Yasser could only let out a sigh.

Although having dogs were indeed lovely and fascinating, he still can't help but to feel tired sometimes. Especially when his dogs brought random dirty things inside the house.

Umupo si Yasser sa paboritong squishy chair ni Ledaine saka humiga. Nakatulala siyang tumitig sa kisame ng sala ng bahay ni Ledaine hanggang sa maramdamanan niya ang biglang pagbigat ng kaniyang hita niya.

Napaangat siya ng tingin saka nakita si Ledaine na umupo sa hita niya saka pinuwesto ang sarili paharap, bago humiga habang nakapatong sa kaniya. Sinandal niya ang ulo niya sa dibdib niya Yasser, saka niyakap siya. Hinawakan naman ni Yasser ang likod ng ulo ni Ledaine upang suportahan ito.

The smell of milk immediately entered his nose as Ledaine settled on his arms.

"I thought you were sleeping...?"

"I was sleeping," Ledaine answered while burying her head on Yasser's chest. Her voice was muffled, and there is a hint of tiredness still lingering in her voice. "But now I'm awake."

Yasser smiled. He caresses his hand on Ledaine's soft haur and spoke. "Dapat natulog ka pa, I mean, you were really energetic last night. So you must have been tired." Pagbibiro niya rito, naramdamanan naman niya ang mahinang pagkurot sa kaniya ni Ledaine.

"Hindi na, okay na ako. But..." Ledaine said making Yasser to looked down at her. Nakita ni Yasser na nakapikit ang mga mata ni Ledaine habang nakasandal sa kaniyang dibdib. "Are you really not bored?" Rinig niyang pag-uulit nito sa tanong niya noong nakaraan.

Natahimik naman si Yasser. He could smell milk from Ledaine's breathe as she spoke.

"If you say yes, even if it is against my will, I will buy you books related to law. Of course, after you're done reading them, I will burn them."

Medyo natawa naman si Yasser, "No, thank you. I'm actually not that interested in law, I just read some and study some in my free time."

"You study law as your pass time?"

Ledaine asked in shocked. Napaayos siya ng upo sa kandong ni Yasser mula sa pagkakasandal sa kaniya saka gulat itong tinitigan. "Are you serious?" She looks shocked and in disbelief.

"Yes, I'm serious." Yasser said while smiling, he was holding Ledaine's waist to prevent her from falling over his lap, as she continued to speak.

"Wow. I have studied different courses, and entered different vocational classes because I have a lot of free time. But I never thought someone would really want to study law just because they have plenty of time to spare."

"Bakit? Ano ba ang tingin mo sa mga taong nag-aaral ng abogasya?"

"Mga taong hindi na mahal ang kanilang buhay."

Kumunot ang noo ni Yasser habang si Ledaine naman ay mabilis na nagpaliwanag.

"I mean, like, even if it is a noble profession, practicing law is a dangerous occupation. They will have to deal with criminals and rotten people with an innocent mask as their job in their entire life. Even if some say so that they protect and help innocent people, how are they certain that the people they are trying to protect are really innocent? And if it is the case, can they really protect their client even if they have to go against someone with power and authority? Someone with enough influence to put a bounty over their heads? Although it is a noble job to have, it is also a risky path to take." Ledaine explained while frowning, Yasser nodded his head.
