THE time always ticks so fast. She can't even imagine 4 months have already passed. It feels like everything happened just yesterday and now the graduation is here. Just a blink of an eye lots of things happened like it's all a dreams. Her mother told her that Aunt Silvia got arrested but it only lasted for 2 weeks because of lack of evidence and her father bought justice once again. Everything she and Sabrina work for was wasted. Money and evidence can't put justice in everyone and that sucks the most.

Now she's watching everyone getting on the stage, claiming their certificate but she wasn't even ready for this. She still starves for justice but the court can be bought by those who had power. And by that she means money. Why would the world circling on one piece of cent?

Sabrina worked so hard to get justice but nothing was worthy. Even if she gathered every little evidence, the man with money was in their way and power was in those wealthy people.

"Lalim naman ng buntong hininga mo." Tumingin sya kaliwa nya kung saan nya narinig ang boses at muling bumuntong hininga. She was disappointed and dismayed by the justice but what she's going to do, right? She's just a 15 years old girl that just graduated from highschool.

"I know. It's hella disappointing but you gotta accept it for now and do something when you really can. You and Sabrina work so hard, all you have to do right now is to finish your study and continue what you guys started." Accept it? As if it's really that easy. Even her mother was devastated about this but she can't risk her firm. Her father didn't touch her mother's law firm because of her but that's still not good.

"Let's go get that certificate and fucking leave." Sambit nya nang marinig nyang tinawag ang pangalan nya sa stage. The new and old queens were there. She didn't really know who the new queen was but she thinks she's lucky. After all, there's no monster roaming around the school anymore. Sabrina would be the last and strong victim of them.

"Congratulations. You are the top student from highschool and you did great." Nginitian nya ang may hawak ng diploma nya at nakipag kamay dito. She wasn't even thankful for what she got. This diploma wouldn't justify the horrific events that happen inside this Halo.

"I'm so proud of you, Anak." Biglang sumama ang pag titig nya sa lalaking nag salita sa harap nya. Tinitigan nya ito mula ulo hanggang paa at mabilis na dinampi lang ang kamay nya sa palad nito saka umalis. Nasusuka syang isipin na ito ang totoo nyang ama at hindi ang lalaking muling papakasalanan ng mama nya. The world is really cruel to her.

"Anong silbi ng comlaude na title kung pera naman ang kailangan para makakuha ng hustisya?" Sambit nya sa mama at Daddy Eric nya habang pababa sila ng stage. Sinadya nyang marinig iyon ng totoong ama nya. She wasn't so happy with this shit anyways. She swears to her life that she'll convince her mother to study abroad. Hindi na nya kakayanin ang apat na taong kailangan nyang gugulin sa loob ng mala impyernong lugar na ito.

"Nancy. That wasn't so nice to say. You did your very best to get that title and you deserve that." Lihim nyang itinirik ang mata nya sa sinambit ng mama nya at tumingin sa Daddy Eric nya na parang nanghihingi ng tulong dito.

"Maybe she just needs some time to think, Justice is a different level of needs when you've been tormented, you should know that. You're a lawyer." She gave her Dad a little smile and mouthed a word thanks before walking toward Erica's seat.

"Your face wasn't grateful." Agad na bati ni Erica sakanya na inirapan nya. "How to be grateful if everything is fucked?" Kunot noo syang napatingin sa mama nya ng kurutin sya nito sa tagiliran.
