"Subpeona for Serrah? What kind of bullshit is this?" kunot noong tanong ni Liarra, bakas na bakas ang pagka-inis sa mukha niya.
We were all gathered in the sala of our condo. Everyone is agitated because after five months ay may balita na from the court.
Masyadong magulo ang utak ko para bumuo ng mahabang tanong. It has only been a few months since Serrah started smiling again, ano na naman 'to?
Atty. Tan handed me the envelope before speaking, "The court needs Serrah's testimony. Unfortunately, she needs to testify."
Testify? I scanned the papers thoroughly, and the subpoena really is for Serrah.
Iniisip ko pa lang na makakasama ng bata si Black sa iisang silid ay para na akong binubuhusan ng mainit na tubig.
"The kid is still mentally unstable, what do you mean testify?!" pasigaw na tanong ko.
She's barely hanging on and now they want to torture her?
Liarra silently patted my back, trying to calm me down. But how could I possibly calm down in this situation?
I took a quick glance at Ate Shella who was silently listening to our conversation. It was already hard for her to see Black, paano pa kay Serrah?
Bumuntong hininga si Atty. Tan at nangungusap na tiningnan kami isa-isa. "It will be a big help to Serrah's case if she will testify, it will be the strongest evidence," paliwanag niya.
I scoffed. It is cruel enough to have her undergo all those therapies, and now they want her to recall everything that has happened?
"Isn't the lab results enough?" mahinahon pero may diing tanong ni Ate Shella.
Her eyes are cold as ice and her expression shows nothing but wrath.
"Calm down all of you," awat ni Tita, tila nahihimigan ang namumuong tensyon sa ere.
Bumuntong hininga siya at nakapikit na sumandal. "Do you really think walang binabalak ang mga Yuchengco?" she scoffed. "Don't underestimate the spirit of an evil human being. The more na nananahimik sila, the more na dapat tayong maging alerto."
"Madame is right. We don't know what kind of antics they are hiding up their sleeves. They have been very quiet for the past months, don't expect them to just swallow the attacks that we are throwing them," segunda ni Atty. Tan.
Tahimik akong napatango, they are right. I forgot for a moment that we're dealing with the second satan.
"So we will really bring Serrah to court? You want her to recall that horrific day?" nanlalaki ang matang tanong ni Ate Shella, halatang nagpipigil ng galit.
