Chapter 29
"The trial is postponed for next week." Wallace informed me so I tilted my head in confusion.
"Bakit daw?" Tanong ko sakanya. He just shrugged and hugged me.
"Pier is in the hospital, unconscious." He said and I squinted my eyes. Something is wrong.
"Bakit? Anong nangyari sakanya?" Tanong ko ulit.
"He was pretty beaten up, ang lala eh malapit na ata mamatay." He said and he looked happy?
"Anong ginawa mo?" I asked as he sighed and started planting kisses on my neck.
"You don't need to know." He said as I just sighed, sabi na nga ba may kinalaman siya doon.
"Be calm, sweetheart. It'll be fine." Wallace held my hand as I inhaled.
"Thanks, love. Thank you a lot." I said as he smiled at me and kissed my forehead.
"I already told you. Anything is possible if it's for you. Para sayo gagawin ko ang lahat, lahat kahit mukhang imposible pa yan kase ikaw na yan eh." He said and that almost made me cry. This man, my man is the reason of my smile everyday.
When we arrived at the court Pier looked real bad, may pasa siya halos sa buong parte ng katawan niya, yung paa niya naka bandage and hindi siya makalakad ng maayos yung kamay naman niya naka cast. I heard that some of his bones were broken.
"Turns out Ms. Lazaro isn't the only victim of his abusive and sexual harassment. There are multiple girls, kaso nga lang yung mga nagfi file ng kaso sakanya ngunit natu turn down dahil sa impluwensiya niya at dahil sa pangalan niya." Jino talked to the judge.
"I demand a proof of your accusation, Attorney Corpuz and I still remember that Ms. Lazaro was the one who harassed my client not the other way." Pier's attorney defended as Jino smirked.
"You want proof? Sure, I have lots and lots of proof." Jino smirked and played a video.
"This was the real footage of the bar, the footage last time was a cut. They restored the real footage since the bar said someone paid them to delete the footage." Jino said and played the video. I held onto Wallace's hand and he smiled at me assuring me na nandiyan lang siya sa tabi ko.
"I also have another witness." Jino said and someone in a lab gown entered the courtroom.
"I am Clint Torres, the upcoming owner of NewEast Medical Center. I'm Pier's cousin." He said and Pier looked at him in shock.
The question asked some more informations and Clint answered calmly.
"I often check up on girls and some would have the same DNA's on them, I once was curious about the DNA kase minsan may halos limang nagpa check up sa akin ng sunod sunod na araw kase they were badly wounded tsaka yung vagina was also quite wounded and lahat sila pare parehas yung DNA na nasa loob nila. I once mentioned this in a family gathering and Pier asked me about the girls, syempre sinabi ko sakanya. He confessed to me na siya yun kase I showed him pictures of the girls. There's this one unspoken rule in our clan na kapag hindi mo tinuturing na kapamilya yung isang tao sa pamilya namin hindi mo papakialaman so I did, hinayaan ko nalang siya." Clint explained as the judge looked at him judgingly, judge nga.
"What made you confess today then Dr. Torres?" The judge asked as Clint sighed and smirked afterwards.
"Come on your honor, sino bang tatanggi sa offer na 40 billion pesos investment from a Perez? It's all about business here." He said and that made my eyes go wide. 40-fucking-billion pesos?!
"So you agreed for money?" Pier's attorney asked as Clint nodded shamelessly.
"Yeah, obviously. Sino bang tatanggi sa pera diba? Lalo na kapag 40 billion, at least gagamitin ko sa kabutihan ng hospital ko eh." He smirked as Pier was fuming mad.
"You chose money over blood, Dr. Torres." The attorney said as he smirked.
"I don't consider that piece of shit as my relative. Hindi nga yan masyadong binibilang sa pamilya eh. Lalong nakakagago pang pakinggan na kadugo ko yan eh mas masahol pa sa animal." He hissed and Pier stood up.
"You fucking asshole! Wala kang ebidensya!" He shouted at Clint as he smirked and brought his phone out.
"I recorded our conversation if you know. I was thinking na baka magamit ko sa future diba? Ang galing ko kase eh." Clint wiggled his eyebrows and played a recording.
"Ano gusto mong pag usapan?" We heard Clint's voice.
"Yung sa sinabi mo kanina, yung mga babae na pare pareho yung DNA na nasa loob nila. Pwede ko makita?" Tanong naman ni Pier.
"May kinalaman ka ba doon? Alam kong hindi dapat ako makialam pero pasyente ko din yung mga yon, they were badly wounded and their vagina was wounded too." Tanong naman ni Clint.
"Just show me damn it! Sasabihin ko sayo pag may kinalaman ako!" Pier answered impatiently.
"Oo nga, ako nga may gawa niyan." Sabi naman ni Pier after a while of silence.
"Tangina ka ba?! Alam mo ba yang ginagawa mo?! Wala ka ng nagawang tama sa pamilyang to gago!" Narinig naming galit na sabi ni Clint.
"Eh bakit ba? Sa ganiyang paraan lang ako nare relieve sa mga stress ko eh tsaka wala naman silang magagawa Torres ako." Pier proudly said.
"Kahit na gago. Pero bahala ka sa buhay mo tangina ka, ikaw bahala tumakip sa mga butas mo." That was Clint's final words before the recording ended.
"So, that's it." Clint shrugged.
"As also you can see here, Mr. Torres not only harassed Ms. Lazaro but he also used violence against her when she tried to resist what Ms. Lazaro did is just purely self defense." Jino added.
After some time of more arguing Pier was proven guilty and was sentenced in prison as I let out a sigh of relief and hugged Wallace.
"So, this is your woman huh? Oh, what people do for love, willing to risk an investment of 40 billion pesos just to get evidences for the woman he loves." Clint was wiggling his eyebrows as Wallace rolled his eyes and laughed.
"Yeah, you just agreed because I also bid my cousin's address." Wallace replied as Clint laughed.
"Yep exactly, she had no rights to run away from me after I heard the fucking news." Clint irritatedly said as Wallace laughed.
"Mauna na kami. Bahala ka na maghanap sakanya, tell her what really happened." Wallace bid our goodbyes and we left.
"40 billion pesos? Seriously Wallace? Para lang sa ebidensya? Ilan ang nagasto mo para dito sa kaso na ito?" Sunod sunod na tanong ko sakanya.
"Sinabi na nga sayo na lahat posible pagdating sayo eh, dapat nga masanay ka na. Hanggang ngayon nagugulat ka padin kapag nalaman mong madami yung ginagastos ko sayo, tapos papagalitan mo din naman ako. Wala ka ng magagawa syempre alangan naman na ibalik ko sa nagbilhan ko diba? Kaya hindi ko sinasabi sayo yung presyo ng mga binibili ko para sayo eh kaso ginoo google mo naman. Magpasalamat ka nalang." Panenermon niya kaya naman hinampas ko yung braso niya.
At ako pa ngayon ang nasermonan eh siya lang yung pinagsasabihan ko kanina.
"Wag mo nga akong sermonan diyan, Wallace. Tsaka yung mga binibili mo kase minsan, yung halaga milyon milyon eh nanghihinayang ako." Kako naman kaya siya tumawa na kinainis ko.
"Ilang beses ko pa ba sasabihin sa iyo na wag moko bilhan at gastusan ng ganoon. Kung ikaw hindi nanghihinayang sa pera na ginagastos mo pwes ako oo." Sermon ko na kinanguso niya.
"Ilang beses ko din namang sasabihin sayo na posible lahat kapag ikaw, wala akong pake kung gaano man kamahal yan basta para sayo wala lang yun. Tsaka sinabi mo naman na pera ko eh, pera ko yon hindi mo pera kaya wag ka masayangan. Ikaw na din mismo nagsabi na hindi ako nanghihinayang edi wala ka ng pake doon pera ko naman hindi iyo. Pag nanghihinayang ka edi wow. Sarilihin mo nalang yang panghihinayang mo kase hindi ko ititigil yon."
