Juno POV
I'm having an existential crisis as time passes by.
Hindi ko alam kung ano ba talaga ang purpose ko sa mundo.
I don't even know if I'm worthy of being alive and breathing.
These are my thoughts as I wait for my fourth trial. Sa totoo lang, I want this to be the last. I settled my bidding with my father. And he expects me to do all his favors, and in return?
A peaceful life.
A peaceful life for Calypso. And I intend to do that—just for her, always for her.
"I will hear your answer in court, Juno. I'll wait for it."
His voice still lingers in my mind, consuming me entirely!
Taguig City Regional Trial Court.
Andito ako ngayon sa bulwagan ng katarungan. This is the fourth trial of my case, at kasama ko rito ang aking abogado. I wandered my eyes around, and there I saw my mother—she is the presiding judge of my case. In front of us are my two siblings: Prosecutor Alfred Aguirre and Syvenne Aguirre.
Reality is torturing my heart. It's like an arrow has pierced through it. This betrayal and all the mishaps in my life are starting to take over me.
I suddenly felt a hard squeeze on my right hand. It was Cali.
"Don't be nervous, I'm here with you, hindi kita papabayaan." Her voice sounded so calming. My worries began to fade, and my mind started to become more rational. Her words assured me to trust her and depend on her. But really, her words meant nothing to me. I moved her hand away and redirected my attention to the prosecutor.
I know you're always here for me.
You're always here to save me, but where am I to save you now?
Worry not, Calypso. I'm finally ready to take a bullet for you, even if it costs me everything.
Hindi ko alam kung bakit ako andito sa ganitong sitwasyon. Para bang pinipilipit ang aking leeg at unti-unting nalalagutan ng hininga. I can't believe that I'm silently having a mental breakdown.
I know I am a bad person at some point. I know to myself that I'm naive, selfish, and cruel. But this? Is this my karma? Ito na ba ang kabayaran sa lahat ng kasalanan na ginawa ko? I can't help but question myself.
