Attorney Lexus' Wanted Girlfriend

CHAPTER 5

LEXUS

Hindi na nakapagbihis ng maayos si Attorney Lexus nang lumabas siya ng bahay niya. Black pants, white shirt, gray cardigan at puting tsinelas lang ang naisuot niya. He needs to go to his law firm bago pa iyun ratratin ng media.

For sure, Short and Long will make fun of him because of how he looks right now but he doesn't mind. Attorney Lexus know how powerful the media is. Isang maling estorya lang na gawin nito ay kaya nitong wasakin ang mga pinaghirapan niya. Just like what it did to his parents.

Sa labas ng bahay niya pa lang, mayroon ng media na nakaabang. Kakaonti pa lang iyun kaya hindi niya muna iyun in-entertain. It's best to face them when they are many so that he can resonate his alibi in a wider audience.

He learned this upon winning cases of his clients. Natutunan niyang nawawala ang kapangyarihan ng media kapag inuunahan mo sila sa pagkukuwento. And when making your story, you have to make sure that they can't bend or twist it. You have to control them instead of letting them control you. Pero hindi rin naman lahat ng miyembro ng media ay may sa demonyo, Attorney Lexus have a lot associates who are really good reporters.

Pinaharurot niya ang kanyang dark-blue Corvette Stingray palabas ng bahay. Luckily, his house has an automatic gate. Nagsasara iyun ng kusa kapag lalabas na siya.

"Harangin mo ang reporters na nakasunod sa akin. Make sure you'll get their names. This is a subdivision and only the residents are allowed to enter here," walang emosyong sabi ni Attorney Lexus sa guard ng subdivision.

Natutula ito. "Teka, Attorney? Kakasuhan mo ba sila? Kapag kakasuhan mo sila, masisibak din ako sa trabaho ko kasi ako ang nagpapasok sa kanila."

Ngumisi lang na parang demonyo si Attorney Lexus at umalis na. He really hates stupid people. Hindi niya alam kung bakit nag-e-exist ang mga taong ganun but what he knows is that they are a great pain in the ass. They are too clueless about the world that they can be easily be destroyed anytime. Kahit sa mga kasong nahahawakan niya, pinakamaling kita niya ang mga kasong dahil lang sa kabobohan ng mga kliyente niya.

These people must have a lose grip of reality, kumento ni Attorney Lexus sa kanyang isipan. For him, the world is really harsh, and it is filled with people who are evil. And when you refuse to recognize this one then you are really a great mess.

This is also the reason why Attorney Lexus don't want to build a family. Para sa kanya, kapag bumuo ka ng isang pamilya, nakakalimutan mo kung gaano kagago ang mundo. Having a loving wife and cute kids turns you soft making you easy target for destruction. At kapag nawasak ka, madali na ring mawawasak ang pamilyang binuo mo.

Themeparks? Childish foodchains? Family vacations? They exitsed just to capitalize on your softness. Pero sa oras na winasak ka na ng mundo, none of these fancy things will help you.

The world is a not a playground, and it will just be a cruel thing building a family in this horrible place.

"Sampaguita! Sampaguita!"

Naipikit ni Attorney Lexus ang mga mata niya nang marinig ang boses ng isang batang lalaki na kumakataok sa binatana ng kotse niya. He's stuck in a traffic at sa mga ganitong pagkakataon ay dumadagsa talaga sa kanya ang mga batang nagtitinda ng sampaguita.

"Ang tagal naman! Bibili ka ba o hindi?" sigaw sa kanya ng batang lalaki.

"YAH!" sigaw naman ni Attorney Lexus dito nang ibinaba niya ang bintana.

Later, we'll find them in a fast food chain. Nakaupo si Attorney Lexus sa tapat ng dalawang gusgusing bata. Isa dito ang batang lalaki na siyang kumatok sa bintana ng sasakyan niya kanina at katabi naman nito ang dugyot na batang babae na kapatid nito na nagtitinda rin ng sampaguita.
