  "GOOD morning, Attorney!" I smiled and greeted them too before going to my office. I looked like shit but presentable naman, but minabuti kong mag-shades muna kase tinamad ako mag-full make-up at ayoko ma-late sa first day ko sa firm. Galing ko talaga mag-English! Kaya ko binagsak ng professor ko eh. "Good morning, Attorney!" "Morning!" I keep walking until I reach my destination. Bagong renovate ang lumang office ko, mixture of gray and white. "Ganda ba?" Pagsulpot ng isang demonyo sa tabi ko. "Yeah." "Nemaiah, designed it. Maarte ka kasi sa design." He laugh. "It's perfect, but my coffee maker is missing." I calmly said and sat down to read some cases. "Give me two months." I looked up. "Are you serious?" "In two months

You can go home by 7 p.m." I smiled at him.   "Yes, Attorney." He smiled and immediately went out of my sight.   I started reading while sipping my coffee. Today is the last trial, I wish it will be a good successful.   I packed up my things and get my car keys. Binigyan ako ni Mancini ng sasakyan pagka-uwi ko dahil mahihirapan daw akong sumakay. Well good for me. I went straight to the court for my trial. Pinasa lang sa'kin 'to dahil last naman na. Babasahin lang naman ang magiging sintensya. "Is this the mighty Attorney Miranda?" When I heard my name called, I turned around right away. "Prosecutor Han!"

"After reading this, I was thinking... Can my daughter really survive this?" He broke down into tears, I immediately grab some tissues and give it to him.   Sakto naman ang pagdating ng sekretarya ko dala ang kape, aba'y kay tagal naman magtimpla.   May halo bang golden powder `yan?   "I thought, you could help us. My daughter is innocent! She was abused and raped by that man! My daughter, mean no harm!" He started shouting.   I sighed. "We can work this out, Sir. No need to panic, just tell me everything you know."   He immediately shook his head. "I wasn't able to watch her properly because, I was so busy with my businesses.

  "CLOSE friends sila nung biktima pero walang motif sa pagpatay. Madalas silang nakikitang magkasama pero wala namang nakiktang ibang kinikilos si Ms. Santiago." Bungad ni Jaspher.   "Na-contact mo na ba 'yung kaibigan niya?" I asked.   "Yes, sasama ko na lang dito kapag okay na 'yung schedule niya."   I nodded and started reading.   Naka-schedule na ang second trial ni Maple by Thursday, kaya pilit kong hinahanap ng butas 'yung kaso niya dahil Martes na ngayon.   "Pagtimpla pa kita, Attorney?"

BINASA ko pa rin 'yung copy ng case file niya pero wala talaga feeling ko may mali may kulang. Tiningnan ko 'yung picture sa mismong crime scene, tinitigan ko mabuti 'yon parang may mali kasi.
