Chapter 26
AFTER our meeting, I excused myself and silently hide in the bathroom.
I dialed Blacked's number.
["Y-yes?"]
Ano nangyayari sa boses niya, hingal na hingal.
Fuck!
"Don't tell me your having sex right now, Diaz?"
["No, I was on a mission. Anyway, I would like to get laid, thank you for the idea."]
"Bastard."
["Why? Wanna try me?"]
Agad na nanginig katawan ko, kadiri.
"Just tell me when are you free?"
["Oh, I can talk now."]
"What are you doing?"
["I'm just installing a bomb, its nice to hear an Attorney first before I blow this building up."]
"Who's orders?"
Wala naman si Lavinia para magbigay ng utos, sino ang nagpapagawa?
["My own will."]
"You nuts? What do you think you are doing??"

TIME flies fast nagre-ready na ako ngayon para ma-meet si Blacked Diaz. After that scene in the hospital, Dev volunteer to drive, I agreed because I'm in no state to stir the wheel. I'm lost with so many thoughts. When we dine out, after lunch we got back to the firm like nothing happened. Though he lectured me first about taking my vitamins.

Isang tao lang ang nakita ko naka-upo ito sa isang sofa. Agad ko naman siyang nilapitan at ngumiti ng ka onti. "Attorney Elara Miranda." Tsaka ako nalahad ng kamay. Tumayo naman ito at inabot ang kamay ko. "Blacked Diaz. We finally met, Attorney." Napangisi ako, parehas kaming umupo. Syempre, wag na tayong magpaligoy-ligoy pa simulan na natin 'to chos!
