The Devil In Disguise [Ongoing]

Chapter Eleven

Pag 11:00 sharp, Cedric's lawyer showed up in the court. A few minutes later, sya na pud ang nitunga sa korte.

Nakulbaan ug naka-feel na kog dakong kahadlok kung unsay sunod mahitabo, labi nag kahibaw na ko sa main reason kung nganong naa mi diri karon. If this, is called a prison cell well how I wish I won't be set free. But I have to.

The magistrate, was the last person everybody including me, was waiting for to show up to start the hearing.

She said a lot of stuff that I wasn't attentive to, because all I was doing the whole time she was speaking was just stare at the chandelier and the small lights on the corners of the ceiling. The overall design of this ceiling was just spectacular.

I asked myself multiple nonsense questions.

"Unsa kahay ngan anang dukdok² nang kahoy na martilyo sa kanang naa sa lamesa sa magistrate? Urgh, I need to educate myself more on things. Dili puro business lang ang nahibaw-an. Ay ambot."

"Oh my gosh, I think I have to ask Kyle kung asa iyahang usa ka coffee branch. I would love to taste the coffee in there too. The sisig as well!"

Gikuhit ko ni Lamont na naa ras akong likod nya iya kong gibadlong na paminaw. I only listened to a few sentences that the magistrate said, but a few minutes later. I got lost in my thoughts again. Because right now, this is the only way I could do for free to cope with my pain.

Not until,

"It is further ordered that the aforementioned separation agreement between Mr. Cedric Milan Castañeda and Ms. Laura Shae Aveza is granted." Wala na nako na paminaw ang unsa pay gisulti sa magistrate.

Our agreement to get divorced with each other is now finally granted. But at the same time gusto gyud kaayo nako na mosabat sa magistrate ug ishagit saiya ug sa tanan tao na naa diri sa korte na di nako gusto ning pag divorce namo.

But either way kung maki-divorce ko niya or dili, I would still get hurt.

Gipabarog dayon mi ug nag eye contact mi ni Cedric. By looking at his eyes, he looks melancholic. While his face expresses nothingness.

He attempted to hold my hand but I took them out from his reach. We then got in front and signed a few documents. My hands were quivering while signing them one by one. I was biting my lower lips and I could feel my heart pounding briskly.

Nibalik dayon mis among lingkuranan ug wa na nako napugong akong kaugalingon kundi guniton akong sling bag ug nihangyo kang Lamont na mouli nalang ko. "Wala na man kahay lain buhaton d-dba?"

"W-wala na, Lor. Pero diri sa ka." Ingon sya. Wala na ko nakatingog pa ug nilingi nalang balik sa asa ang magistrate.

Gitun nalang nako tanan sakit maskin karon lang. I don't know why but I felt like I had to look like I was strong when what I'm actually feeling inside says the exact opposite.

Nagtalikod ko sa asa naglingkod si Lamont ug gihikap² ang collar saiyahang casual jacket.

"S-sge, Lor. Lakaw nalang—" wala katiwas ug storya si Lamont pag ingon sa magistrate na humana na ang hearing.

Paspas ko nigawas sa courtroom ug nisutoy ko sa banyo and locked the door.

Nakadungog kog naay nakasulod sa banyo, nagtingog² pa ang heels niya. I immediately put my feet up, hoping that she won't know that I am here. As usual, crying ugly.

"Laura, kahibaw kong naa ka diri. I could literally smell your perfume from here. Ali, i treat tika." She said out of nowhere.

"U-ugh, heh. Sorry." I muttered.
