"You take advantage, know how to manage my whole fucking planet"



Danger





  "What do you want?!" Asking the caller.

After I picked up my phone on the table because it was ringing redundantly for about three minutes straight. I forgot to put it on silent.

I don't want a distraction even though I'm doing nothing after I re-checked the special case. A boredom strikes me again.


My whole family didn't stop pestering me magmula nung nalaman nila na may irereto na naman sila sa akin.

"Come on, kiddo. I'm busy, stop pestering me." Gusto ko na siyang babaan dahil tawa lang ang naririnig ko sa kabilang line. "Lana?" I'm warning her.

"Ate, pinapasabi ni mom the dinner at 7 daw po." She murmurs something that I don't even understand.

Lana is my cousin whom I considered the youngest sibs of mine.She's totally an orphan at age of ten, when tito Henry and tita Violeta died in an accident when I was 20 years old. Tito Henry is my mom's older brother.

To make the story short, So kinupkop na lang namin siya dahil na rin sa bilin ni tito.

"Tell mom I'm so busy. I will go home later than seven." And I dropped the call.

I know them. Magkasabwat sila ni mama. Hindi na nga ako umuwi sa bahay magmula nung last na usapan namin ni mama.Limot ko na kung ilang weeks na yun. May isang buwan na ata.



"Attorney, tuloy ba ang case bukas?" It's Libeth, my 3 years secretary.

"What's the case?" I asked her back.

"Murder, Second Degree po." She answered while busy typing on her desk computer. "Preliminary hearing of Miss Kabankalan po."

Ah yeah, I know her already. I skimmed her case two days ago. It said that it's a self-defense kaya niya nasakasak ang amo niya. Well, her amo may kaya sa buhay kaya nilaban ng relatives. On the other hand, Miss Kabankalan told me that it was a self-defense because the victim was trying to raped her. So the rest is history. Miss Kabankalan, was a caretaker of the victim rest house.

"Remind me, tomorrow Beth and talk to Miss Kabankalan about the things she will do and don'ts." I ordered her.

"Okay po, Attorney ako na bahala doon." She quickly answered me.

It's 8:57 pm as I checked my wristwatch. I'm so fucking tired. Wala na atang bago sa akin. Sa trabaho ko na 'to.l don't have any free time for myself dahil tambak ako sa cases na inaral ko. I can't blamed my client too hindi naman din ako basta-basta. Naipapanalo ko nga ang kaso na kahit walang butas ang kalaban nahahanapan ko.

Perks of having a magnificent mind.

Wala naman kasing tsamba sa profession ko. Like, mag-aaral kang bata sa law lalabas kang matanda. Every tiny detail is essential walang sayang, every case is precious and vital.Money is the artery and vein in this kind of career. Hypocrites na ang magsabing walang natatanggap ang iba ko na kabaro.

Nasa kalagitnaan ako ng muni-muni ng may bumundol sa likod ng kotse ko.

Seriously?!  I checked the traffic light. Red light. I checked my side mirror. A yellow sports car. Not so sure about the logos but it's an expensive car and I'm sure of that.

I will not mind na sana dahil hinintay ko na lang na mag sorry kung sino man ang driver, dahil alam ko naman na hindi totally damage ang sasakyan ko. Nag middle finger pa ang mga ungas kasi sabay alis.
