I faced everyone especially the Jury. "Jayden Cunanan is the son of Maple Santiago and Liam Cunanan." Then, I looked at Jayden. "Jayden. Can you see everyone in here?""Yes.""Can you point out who killed your daddy?" I asked then, he point his finger at Dr. Renzo ."There, he said he will also kill me.""Good job, Jayden." I smiled at him.He moves closer to the camera and gave me a signal to move closer too."Can you tell to peppa that I want to be friends with her too."I laughed and whispered on the camera. "Okay, its

Years' passed, pero wala silang pinagbago mga masayahing pwet pa rin sila. I drank four shots of black label napangiwi naman ako sa lasa. "Oh, hinahabol ka na ba ni San Pedro?" Tanong ni Kanluran tsaka umakbay sa likod ko. "Fucker." Sabi ko. Tsaka namulutan, wala pa naman akong naramdamang pagkahilo basta napangiwi lang ako sa lasa. Ang tagal ko na kasing hindi naka-inom ng black label, margarita na lang tsaka beer ang madalas kong iniinom. "Yeah, and I am very pleased to tell you that I'm great in bed." Then, he winked at me. Disgust placed all over my face. Hindi ako papatol sa tropa! At isa pa gurang na 'to 'di na fresh. "Gurang ka na, 'di ka na fresh." "Napakasama ng ugale mo! Mamaaaaaaaaaa!!" Malakas na sigaw niya tsaka ko siya binatukan. "Kingina niyo! Wag kayong mag-asawa mga deputaaaaaa!!" Malakas na sigaw ni Lav.

"ATTORNEY, eto na po 'yung kape mo." I smiled at Mancini. "Thanks." I smile sweetly at him. I just like his annoyed face, its entertaining. Simula sa pagmulat ng aking namamagang mga mata, tanging ang case file copy lang ang hinarap ko. I know about this case... How could I forgot the only case that pushed me to be an Attorney, I've been waiting for so many years for me to handle this but not in this situation. Not when my friend is the one accused. I started my day with coffee and the case file in may hand. I diverted my anger into focus, like a professional. Looking at this mess, its all of a sudden. Why would Lavinia commit a massacre? Even though my father is one of the victims, I find it hard to believe their new speculation. "Itsura mo, Elara." Sigaw ni Mancini tsaka ako binato ng isang wet towel.

  I WOKE up, from my deep shit and prepared myself for work. The dinner went well, I enjoyed seeing the drunk Devon again. After driving him home, he opened his eyes and settled himself to his bed. I just made sure that he's fully settled before I leave him. I called my brother to pick me up and he scold me, what a luck. A nearly 30 years old woman is being scolded by someone half her age. How ironic. I quickly washed myself and stared at the mirror. I looked like hell, these days I have more nightmares, I cannot hold it anymore. Maybe, I'm reaching my end. Mabilis akong kumilos at pumasok sa trabaho, tahimik ang lahat ng pumasok ako. "G-good morning po, Attorney." Bungad ni Oreo. Nginitian ko siya at nagpatuloy ako sa paglakad. Pumasok sa loob ng opisina ko nang may natagpuan akong tatlong tao ro'n na presentableng naka-upo.

"STILL no update?" Bungad ko sa kanila habang humuhulas. Nabasa ako nang sinuong ko ang umuulang panahon, hindi ko naman alam na uulan eh, sana nagdala ko ng payong. PAGASA 'nu na? Dati may pa-message sa phone ko ngayon ni hi wala, sawa ka na ren? Bigla namang lumapit sa'kin si Dev tsaka ako binalibutan ng towel, kumuha pa siya ng separate para sa buhok ko. Nagtataka akong napatingin sa lahat na ngayon ay gulat dahil sa kanyang ginawa. Ngumiti ako sa kanya. "Salamat." Tsaka ko inabot 'yung towel at tinignan ang ginagawa nila. "Kakalagnat mo pa lang kahapon, Attorney." Saad niya tsaka iniabot ang isang bottled water and medicine. I laughed. "Opo, Mr. Aircon." Habang kinukusot ang aking buhok nanatili ang aking pansin sa case file, mahihirapan nga kami. Sobrang sungit ng panahon ngayon, ang dating maaliwalas na kalangitan ay napalitan ng kadiliman. Ang dating huni ng mga ibon
