"Wala naman." he assured. Pagkatapos ng ilang minuto'y bigla muli itong nagsalita. "Ay meron palang isa."Napakunot bigla ang noo ko.Kaya ko kasi tinatanong ay dahil sasampahan ko ng kaso ang lahat ng manakit kay Sandoval. Madali lang naman 'yon eh, marami akong time. Hindi ko lang kasi masikmura ang ibang mga may kapangyarihan na nagagawang makasakit ng ibang tao. Pasalamat nga sila't hindi sila napagkakaitan ng kalayaan. "Sinong isa?""Hindi ko kilala." Ngumisi naman ito't bahagyang natawa. "Hinipuan ako eh. Nakakainis lang dahil hindi niya inulit."Napailing na lang ako sa tinuran niya. Akala ko naman kung ano, katangahan lang pala. "Ang gago mo talaga eh, 'no?"He chuckled. "I know right.""Attorney Christine, Public Defender Jelsey, kailangan niyo na pong pumunta sa court room." Napatingin kaming lahat sa isang pulis na pumasok. Nagkatinginan kaming dalawa ni Jelsey at tumango. Inalalayan at binantayan naman ng mga pulis si Sandoval habang papalabas kami ng kwarto.Habang naglal

"Are you saying the truth and nothing but the truth, Sandoval?" Jelsey asked.Sandoval nodded."Bakit ang nakalagay dito sa report ay hindi kayo magkaayos ng mapapangasawa mo?" I confronted him.Napakunot din ang noo niya at mabilis na umiling. "That must be defamated or tampered. Or might be influenced by higher officials or my enemies."Naningkit ang mga mata ko."Magkaayos kaming dalawa ni Charisse Villaluna, my fiancé's name. We're always agreeing with what one another was saying. We're supporting each other 'til we succeed and reached this wealth that we were living. I don't know why that day, nabilis mataranta si Charisse at palaging malalim ang iniisip. I loved her and I wanted to protect her. Kaso ngayon, patay na siya."Kumuyom ang mga kamao nito't nagngitngit ang kaniyang mga ngipin. "She was beaten up while she was naked. May nakatarak din na tinidor sa kaniyang kanang mata. 'Yan ang natandaan ko nang magising akong umaga na, patay na silang dalawa."No'ng gabi bago mangyar

The time of the arraignment has finally come. Ito na, opisyal nang nagsisimula ang laban simula ngayon. The Grey Shade of the Prosecution smirked after we evaded their trip earlier. We brought Sandoval into our seats, between me and Jelsey, because we don't want him to be bombarded with questions by those prosecutors. They are like us. Full force when it comes to court trials.The only difference was they are on the prosecution side.Bright Harris is the prosecutor wearing red long sleeves and a white coat. He was the white extremity of their entitled name: Grey shade. He is my counterpart in this case. Just like me when compared to YinYang, he's also the Yang, the white part of the spiritual symbol. Though, we are both evils in court trials.Well, Yang is the beauty of that spiritual symbol, but there's evil in it.On the other hand, Dark Alvarez, the prosecutor wearing all-black attire, was the black extremity of their team. He's Jelsey's counterpart, they're both the Yin when compa

"Court adjourned."Nagsitayuan ang lahat at nag-bow kay Judge Magnaye. Nang makaalis na ng judge ay nagkatinginan kaming tatlo nina Jelsey at Anthony. Ngumiti silang dalawa kaya napangiti rin ako. "Dito na magsisimula ang lahat, Attorney Christine.""Makakaya natin 'to, Public defender Jelsey." Napangiti rin siya sa aking sinabi.Sa t'wing nasa korte kami'y pormal ang tawagan namin sa isa't isa. Nakagagaan at nakaka-boost din ng confidence kapag may tumatawag sayo gamit ang prefix name mo. Attorney and Public Defender suit us well. Nagkwentuhan kami nang bahagya ngunit biglang natigil nang may kumulbit sa balikat ko."Defense." Tawag nito sa akin.Nang lumingon ako dito'y pinagsisihan ko na agad na lumingon ako. Nakakairita 'yong mukha niya! Ang sarap sapakin na lang bigla. "The jerk prosecution." I hissed.Si Bright ang magaling mang-inis sa kanilang dalawa. Hindi, mali pala. Parehas silang magaling mang-inis. Kahit nga presensya pa lang nila ay naiirita na ako. Regardless of what th

"What is it?" He cleared his throat and composed himself. "Tungkol ba sa nakaraan natin?" He jested.I didn't mind his latter question. Baka kasi maupakan ko pa ang isang 'to. "According to this particulars, John Tyler and your fiancé, Charisse Villaluna, are blood-related. Magkapatid silang dalawa. Bakit hindi mo sa akin nasabi 'yon?"Napakunot naman ang kilay niya. "Nasabi ko naman 'yon sa mga pulis, Attorney Christine. It should be in the police report. Maybe they didn't put it there or you just----!""A'right, sorry. Baka hindi ko lang nabasa." Nagpatuloy na ulit ako sa pagbabasa at pag-ha-highlight ng mga anggulo na pwede kong mapag-kuhanan pa ng mga ebidensiya.Kung gusto kong maipanalo ang kasong 'to, kakailanganin namin ng maraming ebidensya na makapagpapatunay na inosente si Sandoval. Hindi pwedeng mag-rely na lang kami sa material evidence na nahanap sa crime scene dahil alam kong lahat 'yon ay gagamitin ng prosecution. Malamang, lahat 'yon ay magtuturo na si Sandoval ang pu

Sabi nila, "Basta may alak, may balak." Pero parang 'di naman ako naniniwala. Napakahina nitong si Sandoval eh. Akala ko pa naman ay may magaganap nang jugjugan pero wala pa rin pala."Good that this room is sound-proof." sambit ni Jelsey habang tumatagay sa dala niyang shot glass. "Your foul words might be heard by the police, Christine!"Jelsey's face was already red maybe because of the impact of this drink. I don't know this name or maybe I just forget. Wala naman akong pakialam eh. Wala namang nagapaalala sa'kin na ganito pala kasarap malasing. Kanina pa kami dito nag-iinuman at halos gabi na rin.Am I drunk? No! Maybe just tipsy. Or maybe I'm really drunk. Nakikita ko pa naman ng maayos si Sandoval at Jelsey. Parehas silang lasing na rin pero sobra ang tagay. "Eh totoo naman eh! Baog naman ata 'yan si Sandoval." I argued.Sandoval snickered despite his face being red. "Hindi nga ako baog, Christine." Then he pouted like a child. Iba na siguro ang tama ng alak dito. Nagpapa-cute

"I like it, A-Anthony."His pace was getting faster. Halos tumirik na ang mga mata ko sa t'wing sinasagad niya ang kaniya sa aking pagkababae. We were panting but are still silly to finish this. "A-A-Anthony. . . ugh.""Shit, C-Christine, you're still tight like. . . ugh fvck!""I-Im coming, Anthony! Ugh, shit, holy cow!" Talagang tumirik na ang mga mata ko habang naninigas na ang aking mga paa. Hindi pa rin siya tumitigil. "Anthony! I'm cumming!""Shit, here I cum, C-Christine!" Bumilis nang bumilis ang kaniyang pagbayo hanggang sa tumigil na siya't isinagad ng todo ang kaniyang pagkalalaki. "Ugh, fvck!"Nang mahugot na ni Anthony ang kaniyang pagkalalaki ay napahiga ito sa aking tabi, hinihingal. Maging ako ay hingal na hingal rin habang nakasapo ang aking kamay sa aking dibdib. Tiningnan ko siya sa kaniyang mga mata at ngumiti. "Is this a dream, Anthony?"He smiled. "No, it isn't." He caressed my head and removed some strands of my hair from my face. "This is real, Christine. At

"Huwag mong mababanggit kay Mama ang nangyari sa'min kagabi ah!" paalala ko kay Jelsey habang isinasara ang pinto ng aming bahay. Wala pa kasi si Mama dito dahil nagbabantay siya sa kapatid kong si Jayron sa hospital. Tumawa naman si Jelsey at tumango. "Siguraduhin mo lang.""A'right."NANG MAKAPAGPALIT kami ng damit ay umupo ulit kami sa favorite spot namin, sa malaking sofa sa tapat ng TV. Ipinatong muna namin sa lamesa lahat ng papel na ni-request namin sa korte at pinag-aralan. "So, saan tayo magsisimula, Christine?" tanong ni Jelsey.Napaisip naman ako sa sinabi niya. "Nabasa mo na bang magkapatid ang fiancé ni Sandoval at ang business partner niya? Si Charisse Villaluna at John Tyler."Dahan-dahang tumango si Jelsey sabay kuha ng ibang papeles sa mga gamit niya. "Oo, nabasa ko dito sa police report na ibinigay sa'tin." Inilapag niya rin ito sa lamesa kasama ang mga particulars."Alam mo na rin bang arranged marriage lang ang koneksyon ni Sandoval kay Charisse?"Napatigil sa pagb

OH, SORRY. I've had enough.Nang saktong pagbukas ng elevator ay bigla akong nagsalita nang malakas. The two from behind were shocked and all of the other employees couldn't even move. Si Anthony naman ay nakatingin sa akin at nagulat. "Ah, wait. I forgot to turn off my audio recorder."Humarap ako sa kanilang lahat at matalim na tiningnan ang babaeng makapal ang mukha. Pinaalis na ni Anthony ang ibang nandito sa loob pero hindi niya pinalabas ang dalawang babaeng pinagchi-chismisan ako. Nakatingin lang ito sa amin at tila natatakot sa kung anong pwedeng mangyari sa kanila.Well, as they should. Narecord ko lahat ng mga kasinungalingang ipinakakalat nila. And it's recorded."Aren't you going to say something?" I asked them, still controlling my temper. Dapat lang na mag-sorry sila dahil hindi nakakatuwa ang mga sinabi nila. I usually don't give a fuck lately, but what they have just said pushed me into this. It's not as if I'm going to make them go to jail in an instant. "I mean, I re

"Inagaw niya sa akin si Anthony, ex-fiance ko. Sigurado akong kilala mo 'yon. Kalat na yung gwapo niyang mukha sa buong Asya."Napalunok ako sa sinabi nito. "Wait, inagaw sayo noong Christine na sinasabi mo?"Tumingin lang ito sa akin at natawa. "No, just kidding. As if Anthony became mine. Hindi naging akin si Anthony. He's always thinking about that damn Christine so I became like this. My obsession towards Anthony drove me into this."Huminga ako nang malalim at sinubukang lumapit sa kaniya. Mukha namang hindi siya nananakit kaya sinubukan kong lumapit. She even held my hand and massage it. "May galit ka ba sa kaniya?""Kay Christine?" she said and smiled. Patuloy lang ito sa paghilot sa aking kamay habang nakatingin sa kawalan. I felt like she's been alone here for weeks already. "No, I'm not angry at her at all. Wala naman siyang kasalanan. Kahit si Anthony wala ring kasalanan.""But they still hurt your feelings." I said and caressed her back. Isinandal nito ang kaniyang ulo sa

"I thought we'll be on it." I heard Anthony softly complained and heaved a heavy sigh. He's still cuddling me even though I know that he's a little bit disappointed. Nakayakap din ito sa akin habang ramdam ko ang init ng kaniyang hininga sa kaniyang batok. This moment was kinda romantic even though there's no scented candles around, just the study lamp on the table beside us."Sorry." I said and hugged his arm on me even more. "I'm really not in the mood. Inaantok na rin ako."He chuckled and held my hand. "You must be very tired. I love you. Try to sleep."I really feel sorry because I couldn't make it up to him right now. When we were about to start earlier, I stopped from removing my lungeries and made him just lay down beside me. He was confused at first until I told him that I don't wanna continue anymore. We just cuddled and he agreed.Though, I convinced him.I couldn't help but smile from what he had said. Humarap ako rito't hinalikan siya saglit. We were now facing each other

"No, send that tax receipt to Michelle since she's the tax lawyer. Forget about the other legal matters there. I'm taking care of that right now."After I said that over the phone, I put it down immediately to focus on my tasks. I don't know why they want me to take care of the tax receipts when I'm not the tax lawyer.I now work as the general business lawyer and the contract lawyer of Rivamonte Hotel. Yes, I currently work for Anthony at his hotel. 2-in-1 ang trabaho ko dahil bukod sa kaya ko naman, I have to work double to gain money. Hindi pwedeng puro asa na lang ako kay Mama lalo na kay Anthony.I have to work for my needs. Ilang buwan na lang ang itatagal ng savings ko. Baka umabot sa time na wala na akong maipa-sweldo kina Kuya Caesar at Ate Sising.Kahit na nandito ako sa loob ng bahay ay nakakapag-focus pa rin naman ako sa trabaho. The room beside my bedroom, which was Jelsey's room two years ago, was turned into my home office. Everything was set up, thanks to Ate Sising an

Severina nodded and smiled bitterly while she was looking at her photos on the screen. "This was the consequence that I got after I helped you free Sandoval. Bright warned me about this. This was the piece of information that he kept on using to blackmail me until I spoke the truth to the court room that day. That son of a bitch really destroyed my modelling career.""Si Bright pa rin ba ang nasa likod ng mga ito? Nagsilutangan ulit ang mga litrato mo, Severina." I asked. Napailing-iling na lang ako't iniisip kung ano na lang ang dinanas ni Severina para malagpasan ang mga ito."Who knows? Only God knows if Bright is still the one behind this." Severina answered."Oh my God, I'm s-sorry for not being there with you back then, Severina. . .""You don't have to be sorry, Christine." she told me and held my hand which was on the table. "You did the right thing to free Sandoval. I also did the right thing just like you. The only problem here is the asshole who spreaded this photos from

Napatingin ito sa akin at ngumiti. She looked so shy even though we already met before. "Thank you! Y-You too.""Don't be so awkward in front of her, Katerina." pagsingit muli ni Jelsey pagkatapos humigop ng kape. "It's not as if you did a heinous thing behind our backs.""She must be sorry for what she did two years ago." pagsunod din ni Severina para asarin ang kapatid niya. "Well, triny lang naman niyang ilubog ang pangalan ni Sandoval sa isang bagay na 'di naman talaga niya nakita. What a bitch, right?" tanong nito sa akin.Natawa na lang ako't umiling. "Nakaraan na 'yan, h'wag mo nang asarin masyado ang kapatid mo, Severina" Tumingin naman ako kay Katerina't ngumiti. "It's okay now, Katerina. I heard that you defended yourself from the law suit filed against you two years ago, huh? Noong napatunayan mo namang inosente ka, nawalan na ako ng problema sayo."After I said that, she laughed and hugged me instinctively. Niyakap ko rin ito pabalik tapos pagkatapos ay nag-sorry ulit ito.

Jelsey nodded and went to the bathroom. Umalis na rin si Anthony pagkatapos nitong magpaalam sa akin. Naiwan na ako mag-isa kaya umupo na muna ako sa harap ng office table ni Jelsey.Speaking of Katerina, I haven't seen that girl for years. Pagkatapos ng hearing ni Anthony two years ago ay hindi na ulit kami nagkita. Well, it's understandable since we really don't know each other pretty much. Ang koneksyon lang namin sa isa't isa ay si Severina at wala nang iba.I wonder if I'll also meet Severina today. Ang sabi lang naman ni Katerina ay pumunta kami sa office nila. We didn't know if whose request is this but we have to go because she said it's important. But whatever it is, I hoping that Severina's there so we can have a little chit-chat for a while. Ang huling pagkikita namin ay yung araw na nadischarge ako galing sa hospital. All of us are quiet busy these days so we barely see each other unlike before.After minutes of waiting, Jelsey finally went out of the bathroom after changi

"That was unusual. I never thought that I would see that friend of yours wearing a smile.""We're not friends!" I argued after Anthony said that. "We never became friends.""That's cold." he replied.Nasa office pa rin kami pero lumipat kami ng pwesto. Malaki naman ang office ni Jelsey, lumipat kami sa isang malaking sofa sa harap ng TV. Nakahiga ako habang ang ulo ko'y nasa hita ni Anthony. Si Jelsey naman ay nasa paahan ko, iniinom yung kape niya.Pagkatapos kuhanin ni Jelsey ng kape mula kay Dark ay umalis na agad ang huli. It took me a minute before I moved on from that smile. "What was that behavior, Jelsey? Kailan pa natutong ngumiti 'yon?""Well, that was part of his job." Jelsey replied after taking a sip of her coffee. Kanina, sinubukan niyang utusan si Dark na dalhan din kami ng kape pero hindi ako pumayag. I just want him to get lost from my face. Ayokong bumalik pa siya para dalhan kami ng kape. "When he applied for a job, I asked him to always smile so he could get along

IT WAS ALMOST an hour after we finished eating all the food that were served to us. Pagkatapos naming magpaalam kay Mama ay agad na kaming sumakay ng kotse't nag-drive sa susunod naming pupuntahan. We have so many itineraries today.Though, ayos lang. Minsan na lang din naman ako makalabas ng bahay dahil sa bago kong trabaho."I'm nervous." I told Anthony. Hinawakan nito ang aking kamay habang nagmamaneho siya. "It's been a while since I last saw her.""It's just two weeeks ago, Christine.""It's still long." I argued, looking at him at the rearview mirror.Bahagya lang itong natawa't tinapik ang aking kamay. "Yeah, yeah, I understand you. Unlike those days, you two don't get along together pretty often.""Ahuh, we both seemed super busy right now."Mabilis lang kaming nakarating sa isang malaking building kung saan nakatayo ang pinaka-successful na law firm sa buong Luzon. Pagkapark namin sa unahan ay agad akong namangha sa building na ito. Well, the owner of it was quite famous afte
