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. I only accept victim clients, and well, also those 'criminal' clients but only those I know are innocent. One thing I have learned in my profession, is to see who's lying or not. But, love is blind.
One more thing, my life, is full of things I've never wished for.
"Stay back! Don't touch her you-"
"I would shoot her if you don't shut up!"
Shout the man holding the gun followed by bullets shot in the air.
Screams.
Gunshots.
Dead pepole.
Blood covering the floor.
When will this stop? How did I got into this?
I feel sorry for the families, the children, waiting for their dads or moms to come home without knowing that they're forever gone in the world. I know that feeling, worst is I can do nothing for them.

Elexier’s POVI am here sitting in a table, reading some file from my company. Even if I am here at home, guarded by police men outside, I can’t just stop working. I don’t want my company going down as it is my source of income. I dragged a file in front of me ans sign each pages.Amira called earlier to tell me that she got in her friends house safely. 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. And I also pleaded the General that I should c

Amira’s POV“I hope this helps you even jus a little bit.” Elocin said and looked at me while eating ice cream. She decided to take me to an amusement park. 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

Elexier’s POV “No need, Elocin. I’ll take care of it don’t worry. You can go now if you want to of course. You should take a rest. Thank you.” “Are you sure? 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

Elexier’s POVSeeing my mother lying in this bed just breaks me. Even when the nurse said that she is already safe, this still shouldn’t happen to her. She don’t deserve this. She has been a good mother to us and a good wife. I don’t know that father would really do that to her. I thought he can’t. But Iwas wrong because he is really willing to shoot her. And he did. 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. He is still my loving father, I know.I looked at my mother in pity. Mom, wake up please. I still need to apologize to you.My eyes are tearyand my nose is becoming runny. My vision is becoming bl

Amira’s POVElexier fell asleep sitting in his wheel chair that night.I don’t want to disturb his sleep so I just got him a blanket and covered him up so that he won’t be cold. I also didn’t leave the room. I got my self a blanket and made my self comfortable in the chair in the other side of his mother’s bed. And I fell asleep on there too. I am only awakened every time a nurse will enter the room to check on Mrs. Villamorannas.The next day, I slowly opened my eyes and saw the familiar back of Elexier standing in front of a table preparing some foods. Maybe he felt that I am awake and that made his gaze turned on to me. My eyes is still half closed but I can see him smiling at me.“Did I wake you up? Sorry,” He asked while looking at his food.“No,” I answered. “Why are you standing? What are you doing? You should have waken me up to do th

Elexier’ POVI watched Amira as she picked up all her things and put it all in her bag. She waved bye to me and then walked towards the exit and closed the door. 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. Staring at her for straight long minutes, I noticed that her finger moved. I was about to call the nurse and the doctor but maybe that was jus thing I see because of my want for her to wake up. But no. I saw her fingers moving. So even before anything, I quickly got up the chair I was sitting but my injury strained. I groaned a little because of the pain from my suddden move. As I stood up, I moved slowly this time and walked towards the door. As

Amira’s POVThat same day, I decided to go home to Elocin. Maybe I’ll just visit her for a few hours. I decided not to leave Elexier and his mom here in the hospital. They are both patients here. They can’t look up for each other even if, yes, there are nurses. But it just cant be just the two of them.I gathered all my stuffs and put them inside my bag. I composed my self before saying goodbye to Elexier. I faced Elexier and I saw him directly looking at me. His mom is peacefully sleeping on her bed. She is trying to gain back her energy.“My men will be with you again. I know you’re still not safe to go alone outside.” he said, not taking his eyes off me.“I’m fine with that.” I replied. I know he is just worried. And I can feel his concern for me that way. And in fact, I am also worried. I’m worried for the people around me that the
