Val's POV

Nagising ako sa sikat ng araw na tumatama sa mukha ko.

“Umaga na agad?”pag rereklamo ko sabay bangon.

Dali dali akong bumangon para mag palit dahil may pupuntahan ako.

I chose to wear my formal black tuxedo. I brushed my hair up as I get ready to go out.

“Z meet nalang tayo sa korte” bungad ko sa medyo kakagising na boses palang ni Ziljian.

Sa dami ng ginagawa ko diko namalayan na sa office nako naka tulog.

“Attorney? Dito ka ata natulog?” bungad ng papasok na kasama ko.

“Yeah, oo good morning.” seryoso kong sagot.

“Naks, I told you worth it binigay namin sayong clothes rack.” tuwang tuwa niyang sambit.

“Yeah thanks!” tanging sagot ko sabay labas na.

Every person I walk pass by will call me attorney.

“Attorney! Good luck sa i dedefend mong kaso!”

“Attorney Val Vincent Bermudez at your service” natutuwa kong sambit sa puntod ni Ivy.

“Hi mahal miss me? I saw you on my dream yesterday. It's been 4 years since you left. The pain is still here. Mahal ill be defending your case today. Guide me please.”

“Ano? Ako may babae? Its always you mahal. Walang iba. Kahit patay kana kahit dina kita makita its always you.” pag hahaplos ko sa puntod niya.

“I brought you flowers hon. I miss you sana yakapin moko like a good luck hug.” pag papatawa ko.

Sa sandaling iyon ay parang tinupad ng langit ang hiling ko. Nakaramdam ako ng sobrang lamig na hangin na tila bumabalot sakin.

“I know you're hugging me right now. Mabango ba ako?” pag tawa ko mag isa.

Pag katapos ko siyang bisitahin ay dumiretso naman ako sa puntod ni mama.

“Hi ma, 11 years ka ng wala but I know you're proud of me. Ma, after many trials and error naka pag tapos nako. Guess what Lawyer nako. Attorney Val Vincent Bermudez bagay diba?” natutuwa kong pahayag.

“I wish I could all see your smiles.”

“Atty Melcher thank you for always guiding me. I know it will be tough but I swear. I'll find you all justice.”

“Sir, The defendant is here.” Sambit sakin ni Ziljian.

“Prosecutor for this case we have Attorney Val Vincent Bermudez. Bat ako kakabahan?” pag loloko ko.

“Si Kuya Ash wala paba?” umiling siya sakin.

Pero dumating narin kalaunan.

“This honorable work of the regional kind of work branch surely with the Honorable Judge Xyrel Dave Ramos is now in session.”
