Amira’s POV
Elexier got out that room after roughly two hours. I was so bored the whole time but still so anxious. I don’t know what they’re all talking about there. I badly want to know . But I can’t.
I stood up as soon as I saw Elexier and some police officers and General Santos with him.
“What did you talk about? What happened?” I asked curiously at him as soon as he approached me.
“We talked about everything Amira. All the things they have to know.” He said then smiled at me sweetly. It’s like he’s assuring me that I shouldn’t be nervous because everything will fall in to their places and everything will be alright. I smiled back at him.
“General, before we go, we still want to discuss something. It’s her case. It’s different from mine.” Elexier said then the general nodded. He gestured us to his office and we followed him. When we got there, just like earlier, he g

Hi I'm Amira, 25, a lawyer. I live here in the Philippines. Guess what? I'm nothing unique. I'm just like any other person in my occupation. Only that I don't accept criminal clients.

But, love is blind.One more thing, my life, is full of things I've never wished for."Stay back!

And she say they plan to go outside and unwind. I have a bad gut feel because of an unknown reason. It’s like I don’t want her to go outside. I feel like it’s still unsafe for her to go around. I tried to say it to her but she said she just really need to go out. So I didn’t argue any longer, I just said yes.This home arrest are not really that strict. As I am only committed on helping my father on his drugs operation, I don’t use it, and I don’t own anything. I can still go out but only three times a week.

She made me ride different rides and made me play different games. And it was fun actually. I was really fun. She also treated me foods. And I can say that this calms refreshed me. I love this day. This is one of the greatest after everything that has happened.“Yes it did. A lot actually. Thank you for taking me here. At least for a day I will forget things.” I said and smiled ta her too. I continued eating my ice cream. We are here sitting in a bench watching the sunset. It’s almost over. And it’s beautiful. Endings can be beautiful too. And sunsets are the proof. And as they say, we all have a happy ending. So if today wasn’t happy, then today is not the ending. I’m holding on to that.After a few more minutes

You know that if you cant you can just inform me? I’ll stay just say it.” “No, it’s really fine no worries. I just don’t want to leave him here.” *Closing door sounds* My eyes are closed and I am just half awake. But I can clearly hear what they are saying. I can hear the familiar voice of Amira and her friend Elocin. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Amira’s familiar back peeling some fruits. I looked around and I realized that I am in the hospital. I don’t remember how I got here.The last thing I remembered was falling down to the ground when I suddenly heard a loud sting in my ear. But all I can think is thank God for giving me a second life.

Amira’s POV I was in a table near the door, peeling some oranges when I suddenly heard a noise coming from Elexier’s bed so I turned my gaze on that way. I saw Elexier trying to sit up his bed. I was shocked that he’s already awake so I attended to him quickly. I half run to get to him because of shock. “Elexier what are you doing? Stop moving if you still can’t! Your wounds will just hurt even more!” I said to him a bit loudly as I was surprised and happy at the same time. I held on to his arm and elbow to support him and just let go when he finally sat stably. He groaned because of pain coming from his shoulder. “Stay here I’ll just get you a nurse,” I said and then turned my gaze to the door. But even before I could take my second step to there, Elexier already got my elbow stopping me to get out. “Why? You need to be checked? I’ll get you assistance-” “I want to see

I don’t know if I can still forgive him. But maybe. Maybe I can. Maybe I’ll forgive him if he just ask for it. He should ask for forgiveness from me, and my mother. I will give it to him. After all, he is still my father who only wants the best for us. He was just turned evil by the money and power that drugs is giving him.

I still ain’t sure that she is safe out there. I can’t still help myself but be worried. The only thing that will make me feel okay about her going outside is if she is with body guards. At least there will be people to protect her in case something happened.I looked at my mom as she is still unconscious lying in her bed.
