[Broken Hearts 29]


"Sinabihan ka na ba ni Zarina kuya na si Richards ang magiging witness at makakalaban natin sa Korte? sinabi ni Zarina na friname up daw ni Richards si Zach dahil sa ginawa niya sa'yo nung kinidnap ka niya, pinalaya ka daw ni Zach. totoo ba?" I sighed. Ginalaw ko lang ang ulo ko bilang sagot sa kaniya. im not really in a mood right now.

nasasaktan ako ng paulit-ulit kaya ayokong magmahal, I turned my head for those people who I felt I'm comfortable with, I locked all the doors for them but all of it change because of a girl, because of her.

I know she can hurt me pero hindi ako lumayo sa kaniya, I didn't regret that damn decision I made, I was very glad I met her, she let me hold those stars from above.

This is the very big and trouble day for me, araw na ng paglilitis kay Tito Zach sa korte. Ilang saglit lang may isang matangkad na lalaki ang lumabas at tumayo sa harap.

"This honourable court of the Philippines Judicial Circuit with the honourable Judge Peter Alonzo is now in session. All rise" tumayo kaming lahat at nag simula ng mag pray ang isang babae sa harap, tapos noon ay bumalik din kami sa pagkakaupo at nagsalita na ulit ang Judge.

"Good morning Ladies and Gentlemen. Calling the case of the people of the Philippines vs Zacharias Kurt Quin. Are both sides ready?" I saw Zarina on our right side she was sitting beside her beautiful mother pero mas kinabahan ako ng makita kong di mapakali si Zarina mukhang alam na nito na matatalo kami dahil si Richards ang magiging witness sa kabilang grupo. That sucker!

"Ready for the People your Honor" tugon ng isang attorney. "Ready for the defense your honor" matikas na sabi ni Marcus. I'm so proud of him. I was so amazed by him.

"Your Honor, Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury. The defender has been accuse with the crime of serious Physical Injury and Homeside. Ipinahahayag ng sekyon II ng Artikulo II ng Saligang Batas ng 1987 ng Republika ng Pilipinas na hinahalagahan ng estado ang dangal ng bawat tao at tinitiyak ang ganap na paggalang para sa karapatang pantao. Tugon sa ipinahayag ng polisiyang ito, ipinagbabawal ng Seksyon 12 ng Artikulo III ng saligang batas ang paggamit ng Totiyur, lakas, karahasan, pagbabanta, intimidasyon, o anupamang ibang pamaraan na makakasira sa malayang loob at nag-aatas ng kabayaran at rehabilitasyon ng mga biktima ng totiyur o mga katulad na praktis atang kanilang mga pamilya. The evidence I present will prove to you that the defendant is guilty as charge" He said with power, I felt nervous for Zarina.

"Your Honor, ladies and Gentlemen of the jury, under the law my client is presumed innocent until proven guilty. During this trial you will hear no real evidence against my client. You will come to know the truth that Mr. Quin was just wrongly accused. Sa mga oras na natagpuang patay ang pamangkin niya, that was 3:25 in the afternoon, kasabay lang siyang dumating sa mag-inang Quin. at siya ay nawala ng kalahating Oras sa bahay nila before the crime happend. Therefore my client is not guilty" Marcus answered with full of confidence.

Ang tikas-tikas niya ngayon, sigurado lahat ng mga kababaihan, bata, matanda, dalaga, balo ay humahanga sa kaniya ngayon, gwapo na mayaman pa, matalino pa sinong mag-aakalag isang Montez ito? Im so proud of him.

"The Prosecutor may call its first witness" Tugon ng judge. medyo di pa din matanda ang Judge siguro nasa 40s pa lamang ito.

"The people call the witness. Mr. Richards V. Corpuz" Tumayo si Richards sa harap. "Please raise your Right hand. Do you promise that the testimony you shall give in the case before this court shall be the truth, and nothing but the truth so help me God?" Tugon ng Prosecutor.

"I do"

"state your name"

"Richards Corpuz of legal Age residing at 552 Barangay Ilaw, Lerba. Presently working as chef at blue Planet Hotel"
