All the Love, Atty.

Chapter 20- Architect and Attorney

JEMA

6 YEARS

Anim na taon na ang naka lipas

I must say, ang ganda ng takbo ng buhay ko ngayon

I passed the board exam and I became a registered architect

Nag pass na ako ng files sa company nila ate Jia

Ate Jia and Kuya Miguel owned a company

THE DEGUZMAN CORP

I've been working here for 5 years

Ang ganda ng pag papatakbo nila sa business nila

They have twins, puro lalaki pa

Sina Joshua Miguel and Jester Miggy

3 years old na sila

Si Kyla naman, Single pa din pero may nilalanding co worker namin dito

Same pala kami ng course ni Kyla

Tapos si Angel Ramirez, yung kalandian niya ay graduate din sa FEU and naka pass din sa board exam

"Kyla, tara sabay na tayo mag lunch later after the meeting" sambit ko habang papunta sa conference room

Ate Jia and Kuya migz called us for a private meeting

Kaming apat lang ang andun

"Kasama ko si anghel eh. Hehe sorry bessy" sagot niya at nag peace sign

I rolled my eyes on her

Pagdating namin, andun na sila kaagad nakaupo

"I called you two for a meeting today because" she pause and heaved a sigh

"Because our lawyer died today" Sambit niya

My eyes widened and tumayo

"What? seryoso ate Ju?Bakit?" mangiyakngiyak na sabi ko

"Well unfortunately, inatake sa puso si Attorney Santos. But we found one actually"she said

"Well actually, this person has a good record... Nag top 1 as the most recommended Lawyers in the Philippines. Also top 1 best lawyers din siya" manghang sabi ni Kuya Miguel

Tumango nalang ako

"Atty. Will be here any time, you two should stay" sambit niya

Tumayo na ako

"Hindi naman sa dinidisrespect kita ate Juju, but i have to go... I have clients pa—" I was cut off when A familiar figure came inside

"I'm sorry, I'm late. Mr. and Mrs. De Guzman, it's nice to see you two again" that voice

Our eyes met, so I quickly looked away

"Architect Galanza, Fancy seeing you here" she said

I awkwardly nodded

"By the way, Atty. De Jesus will be our newly appointed lawyer"sambit ni Ate Jia

"What? Ate jia naman" sabi ko

I seriously looked at Ella in the eye

"I'll just...Wait outside, Ms. De Guzman. I think you two should talk about this matter..." sambit ni Ella

"No, Atty. Please sit... We have a lot of things to talk about" sagot ni ate Jia

Tinignan niya kaming dalawa

Napa ngiti naman sina Ate Jia at Kyla

Mukhang magkakasundo nanaman tong dalawa sa asaran eh!

"Ah, Atty. Ells ay Atty. De Jesus pala sorry" sambit ni Kyla
