The Verdict: Atty. Elara Lynette Miranda

Chapter 15

MY DAY, went smooth as usual. Review some reports and monthly sales of the firm, also some strategies to boost our firm's name and foundation.

I'm also preparing for Lav's first trial, and all I can say. Few more days, I will make a wreck in that court.

Ang hirap, pota.

Its past 10 pm when I walked out of Mancini's office. After that, I walked to my office to read some case files.

Hindi na gano'n kagulo ang opisina ko. Iyong mga kalat ay nilinis na kanina pero nandun pa rin 'yung sirang mga sofa. Bukas ata ipapakuha. I'm sure nakarating na kay Mancini ang balita about sa nangyari.

I stayed at my office a couple more hours before deciding to go home.

After what happened, I became mentally unstable. I barely got any sleep, nor can eat.

I consulted doctor regarding my condition, she scheduled some therapy and write a perscription for anti-depressants. Good thing my Aza frequenly visited me and kept all things she sees as threat away.

Pagka-uwi ko sa bahay may nakita kong babae na naka-upo sa harap ng bahay ko.

Agad kong kinuha ang isang stick sa likod ng drivers seat ko at dahan-dahan na lumabas sa kotse, nilapitan ang babaeng naka-upo sa harap ng bahay namin.

I was so closed to her. When, she suddenly stood up with hair all over her face. She even raised her hand like a ghost and approach me.

"Pukingina!"

Mabilis akong lumayo sa kaniya at iniharap sa kaniya ang stick na dala ko.

"Kingina mo. Wag mo ko takutin! May kilala kong pari!" Sigaw ko.

"You bitch! I've been sitting here for three hours!" Sigaw ng multo.

Hightech na ang mga multo! Nagsasalita na!

Agad na napakunot ang noo ko dahil sa narinig at lumapit ng kaunti.

"Aza?" I murmured.

Unti-unti niyang inayos ang buhok niya tsaka matalim akong tiningnan.

Now she looks like a freaaking ghost with a face. Dark circles around her eyes, pale white skin and very dried lips.

"Do I look like a motherfucking ghost to you, fatherfucking bitch?" Inis na asik niya tsaka ko kinutusan.

Azalea and her swearing mouth.

"Yeah." Saad ko at mabilis na tumakbo. "I thought you would cover tonight's shift!?"

Agad din naman niya kong hinabol. "Cover my ass!"

"KINGINA KA WALA KANG JOWA!" Rinig ko sigaw niya habang hinahabol pa rin ako.

"Ina mo rin! Wag mong describe sarili mo!" Sigaw ko pabalik.

"Letse ka! Pisti ka! Walanjo!" Malakas na sigaw niya.

"Nyeh! Nyeh! Pinagpalit sa maraming oras!" Pang-iinis ko.

"Sa'yo, Daddy's boy nyeh!"

I just laugh and continue to ran while teasing her.

"Wala jowa, pinagpalit sa may oras!" Sigaw ko.

"WALA KA RIN JOWA PINALIT SA CAREER"

I just laugh and continue to run with the moon above watching us.

"KINGINA! MAHAL KO KASI 'YON!"

Inis akong napahilot sa aking sentido. Nakikinig ako sa mga rant niya about sa kaniyang materpaking ex.
