A mail notification stopped me from spacing out while watching my clients argue in front of me. Isa na namang pamilya ang naglalaro ng agawan ng lupa tsk

I know it's rude to open my phone in the middle of a conversation, but these people just won't stop with their antics, paulit ulit lang ang pinagaawayan at mga pinaparatang sa isa't isa parang di mga magkakapatid haaaaay.

Sabog na naman ang notifications ng phone ko as usual, ang hirap kasi pag nagiisang abogado ka lang sa bayan na kinalakihan mo, di na nga maubos ubos ang kliyente sa opisina, pati ba naman sa phone? Bat ba ako nag abogado? Grr

I was scrolling my notifications bar until my eyes glued to one starred email.

Lord naman, tinetesting mo ba ulit katangahan ko?

My hands trembled as I opened the email,

----------------------------------------------------------------------

To: Jolene Andrea G. Carlos

Subject: See you in five years, Attorney!

My dearest, Jolene

You may find it weird that I sent these five years ahead while you're sleeping soundly, face covered in your Intl. Law book beside me, but I just want to congratulate you Atty! You made it! You were meant to become a lawyer and bring forth the light of hope to the people!

Proud ampon,

Scott Antonius pogi

"Torni, okay ka lang?" rinig kong tawag ng kliyente ko na nagpabalik sa akin sa huwisyo. I didn't realize na tumutulo at humihikbi na pala ako and worse, sa harap pa ng kliyente!

I fixed my composure and reached for the tissues near me and wiped these pesky tears away. Argh I akala ko ba di na ako iiyak uli sa kanya? Letsugas na email panira ng araw!

"A-ah yes po, may nag-email po kasi haha. Gusto niyo po ba magkape muna sa labas? Papahangin lang po muna tayo masyado nang tensed dito eh hehe" I said, trying to keep it together before heading straight to my office. Nagulat pa yung mga interns na nadaanan ko sa lounge pero wala na akong pake, I need to breathe!

Why, just why would he schedule send an email after 5 years?! I'd been doing good on my own. I have my own firm now masaya na ako ah pero bakit ganito pa din ang epekto dahil sa isang email lang na yun?!

"Attorney, andito po si Engr. Enriquez" my secretary, Abby as she smiled apologetically at me. I just nodded and fixed myself.

"Hi girl! Panotarize naman haha need lang for— oy anyare?!" She stopped mid-sentence as she saw my face. "Bakit ka umiyak? Sino umaway sayo?! Asan? Asaaaaan!---" tinakpan ko yung bibig niya baka isipan pa ng mga tao sa lounge nag aaway kami dito. Apaka warfreak talaga haha.
