“The power of the lawyer is in the
uncertainty of the law.”Jeremy Bentham
Amabella's point of view
"Mom, I also want to be a lawyer like you and dad someday" I told mom while smiling widely.
"That's great honey, I am looking forward for that day to come" she said while applying lipstick on her lips
Mom and dad have to go somewhere today, they're going to meet a client but i'm still too young pa to understand so I'll just sick to my priorities and studies right now.
"Stella anak! Take care of your sister while we aren't home!" she yelled
"Yes ma!" My sister answered. This girl damn knows how to say yes, but we'll end up messing the house whebever we're home alone.. I don't know bout her.
Eh, but don't worry, I don't have a plan to play Gorilla.. I already decided to study.
"And you.. Listen to your sister.." mom said and squished my cheeks. Well that's violent. Downs of havibg chubby cheeks.
She went downstairs and I followed her, this is not a follow the leader game okay? I'm also going downstairs.
I admire the scene in front of me, mom fixing dad's neck tie..
You thought that this only happen in movies but no no, they also portray this overrated scene in reality. I wanna cringe so much.
As I was staring at them, I heard footsteps from the stairs, I took a glance and I saw ate Stella making her way down listening to music on her earphones. (ate means older sister)
Mom and dad made their way on the gate and as expected, they left a last minute concern before they go.
"Take care buttheads!" dad shouted. Did he mean that as a joke? Well, he always call us butthead before..
I nudged the uninformed lady beside me, ate Stella and she annoyingly plugged off her earphones "Oh?" she asked
"Dad.. He told us to take care of ourselves."
"Oh? You are waiting for me to answer him? Are you mute? I am busy listening to music you know..." she rolled her eyes at me, She left me no choice, she is my older sister eh, I have to follow her damn rules. Besides, this lady is on her period so she gets irritated all the time.
"Yes dad! We will take care of ourselves, Take care of yourselves as well!" I answered dad waving my hands at them as he started the engine
The car faded out of my sight and they finally drove away. I breathed out a heavy sigh imagining myself being like them as well. How I wish to be successful when I grow up too..
I want to be successful, a successful lawyer
