Sumilip muna ako sa pinto bago lumabas. Dali- dali akong tumakbo pababa. Hiyang- hiya pa rin ako sa nangyari kagabi.

I assumed that he wanted to take me home in that way. Another thing hit me.

I guy I once liked who kissed me twice is my neighbor.

Noong makababa na ako ay naglakad na agad ako papunta sa intersection kung saan may dumadaang mga taxi. Mga 20 minutes na akong nakatayo doon pero wala pa ring dumadaan.

Then a gray Ford Everest stopped in front of me.

"Sabay ka na," he said as he lowered down the window. I gulped at the view. He is wearing our dark blue polo shirt. Naka- shades din siya kahit hindi naman mainit.

"No, thanks." sabi ko at nanatiling nakatayo doon. Hindi pa rin niya pinapaandar ang sasakyan niya tapos nagsalita siya.

"Bakit may naaalala ka ba sa sasakyan na 'to?" he said then he smirked. My cheeks turned red when I realized what he meant.

"Shut up," tumawa ulit siya.

"Sige na, Kylie. Walang masyadong dadaan ditong taxi dahil under construction yung kanto sa kabila." dahil sa pagpipilit niya ay sumakay na ako.

He didn't start the engine at once. Tumingin ako sa kanya.

"Why?"

"May naalala lang ako. Magseat belt ka na. Baka bigla ka na namang tumakbo pababa ha," I frowned at him.

"Stop it." naiinis na sabi ko. He just laughed then he drove towards the station.

"Good morning, Kylie!" bati ni Cassey pagkapasok ko.

"Uy Kean! Magkasabay kayo?" tanong ni Cassey kaya napatingin yung ibang staff na nandoon na sa loob.

I spoke before he could even uttered a word. Ayaw ko ng issue.

"Hindi. Nagkasabay lang kami sa elevator." sabi ko agad. Tumango na lang si Kean habang tumatawa.

Pumasok na ang news chief para sa briefing ng mga news stories na ico- cover namin ngayon.

"Good morning everyone. The following news will be distributed to you. If in any case a breaking news happens, Ms. Rivera and Mr. Medina should take it." sabi niya tapos lumabas na ng conference room.

Papers were handed to us. Iyon yung summary ng mga gagawin namin.

Final Hearing at the Regional Trial Court of Manzano vs. the People. Manzano was accused of arson last May 18, 2020 which caused the death of 9 people including the daughter of the mayor. The prosecutor of this case is Prosecutor Diana Santillan and the judge is Judge Joselito Ayala.

I read the first paragraph of the summary.

Prosecutor Diana Santillan.

My mom is the prosecutor of this case. I sighed. I didn't know that I need to face her for my job. Sumakay na kami sa van ng station papunta sa Regional Trial Court.

"Okay ka lang?" he asked when he noticed that I am not in the mood. I nodded as a sign of agreement.

"Bakit?" tanong niya ulit.

"My mother is the prosecutor of that case and I don't know if I will be able to face her. Hindi ko pa siya nakakausap for about five months." pagpapaliwanag ko.
