Chapter 13

Me and Ciara dealed with the payment.
Mabilis naman akong kausap.

Maaga akong magising kaya nagkape nalang ako.

I'm in the balcony while drinking my cup of coffee. I'm watching the sun shines. Giving its bright light to shine in the entire city.

I was relaxing when my phone rang.

Unknown number.

It was not saved in my phone.
I answered immediately.
It was a lady crying.
I don't know why.

Wala naman akong jowa o di kaya'y nabuntis. Maybe some of my client before or just a new client.

"Hello? This is Atty. Austine Retico." Pagpapakilala ko. Baka kasi wrong number.

"Atty. Good day." She reply. I can hear her crying.

"Name please. How may I help you?"

"This is Norris Efenio."

I was shocked but somehow grateful. I must tell her the things we've discussed lately.

"Oh, I'm sorry Norris, I didn't recognize your voice. I'm glad you called."

"Sir, I'm sorry. You must not be glad I did." Soft voice with wavy tone.

"Why?"

"Please tell Ciara, I'm very sorry. I'll withdraw the case."
She cries harder.

"Norris? W-why?"

She didn't answer my question. Norris ended the call yet I stayed unfocused and confused.

Our star witness withdraw the case.

Tama nga si Ciara, Prebuerto never settles for less. They furnish everything.

Paano ko ito sasabihin kay Ciara? She'll probably lost her mind. I pity her. I can't blame her for another heartache, she assured to herself everything will be fine because we found a witness.

I call her right away. She must know. Hindi ko naman pwedeng itago sa kanya hanggang trial.
Masasaktan siya, alam ko. But the most painful things are those things untold. She will cry, but she'll not cry forever.

Hinihintay ko nalang siya ngayon. Pinapunta ko nalang siya sa condo ko. Nakakabingi kasi yung bunganga ni Alina kapag ako pa ang pumunta sa condo nila. Puro landi laman ng bibig.

Finally, the doorbell rang.

I opened it yet it wasn't Ciara but a box of pizza.

Bat ang tagal? Nag-ayos pa ba siya? Sabi ko urgent! Ganoon ba talaga mga babae? Kahit pinagmamadali nagmamake up pa rin? That's why I hate girlfriends, I won't wait too long.

And fina-fucking-ly!!!

My client just arrive.
When I opened the door I wanna shout at her and tell her she's 20 minutes fricking late! yet she's so cute. I can't resist.

She's making me weak tho.
This is illegal attorney! You're not allowed to fall inlove this fast!

No, I'm not falling. I swear.

She's wearing a plain white oversize t-shirt and a short short.
Whatever they call it.
Messy bun ang buhok yet she's still cute.

Bakit ang tagal niya. Mukhang hindi naman siya nag-ayos. Tss

"Good day attorney!" She greeted me cheerfully.

I'm sorry Cia, but your day won't start cheerfully.

"Not good ma'am."

"Hindi mo ba ako papapasukin."

Tinalikuran ko na lang siya. Alam na niya gagawin. Malamang kailangan niyang pumasok. Mag-uusap kami eh.
