"Damn, can't you spare me at least a minute to breathe?" I stopped walking and turn around to look at Ace who keeps on following me and asking me stupid questions.

"Saan ka ba kasi pupunta? May client ka pa daw na ime-meet sabi ni Anya ah. You cannot leave your office now." He asked, or should I say he boss around.

I rolled my eyes on him, feeling my patience getting thinner each passing second that I'm entertaining him.

"Can you just shut the fuck up? I said just spare me a minute to breathe. Just. To. Fucking. Breathe! I'll just go and grab a coffee. I am not ditching my client so stop bossing the fuck out of me. Mind your own goddamn life, and for Pete's sake stop following me." I snapped at him and turn my back.

I continued to walk to go to the nearest coffee shop. I need to drink coffee so my nerves can calm down. I am so fucking stressed and this Ace guy just adds up to my annoyance. Bullshit!

Right after I take my order, I immediately walk back to our law firm. I passed by Ace's cubicle, he was about to say something again when I raise my middle finger showing him to fuck off.

"Ma'am, the client is already waiting for you." Anya immediately stands and inform me when she saw me about to enter my office.

"Okay, let them in," I said without looking at her. I placed my coffee on my working table and stretch my arms first before I sit. I waited for my client to enter my office.

A minute after I hear a knock outside. "Come in," I said and stopped reading the case that I left earlier when I buy a coffee.

A middle-aged man and woman together with a lady in her late 20's I guess enter my office. I signaled them to sit in the chair in front of me.

"Good afternoon po, how may I help you?" I asked right away after they were all seated.

"Gusto naming mag file ng kaso sa taong gumahasa sa anak namin" agad na sagot nang ina. I looked at the lady beside them who's just looking down. She's probably the victim.

"Siya ho ba ang biktima?" I asked them. Already analyzing and observing the girl in front of me. She looks so thin and pale. Probably it's the aftermath of what has happened to her.

"Oo iha. Kaya mo bang maikulong yung hayop na bumaboy at sumira sa pangarap ng anak ko?" Sagot ng ama nito. I can see how vivid he is and his anger is all pent up, waiting for its explosion.

"May lead na po ba ang mga pulis sa hayop na gumawa nito sa anak ninyo?" I asked them. I'll take this case kahit pa nga may on-going pa akong kaso. I can't let that fucking bastard go on his life after ruining someone else's life. I'll make sure he will live his remaining life inside those filthy cells.

"Meron na ho. Pero malakas din ang laban nito dahil kilala ang pamilya." Sagot muli ng ama nito. The side of my lips rose up. Kaya pala malakas ang loob dahil alam niyang may laban siya at mapapawalang bisa ang kaso niya. Well, not on my watch.

"Okay, I'll take this case. Ako ang magiging abogado niyo. Pero kailangan ko munang malaman ang buong pangyayari bago ako magpatuloy dito." I tell them.

The girl whose been looking on the floor the whole time is now looking at me after hearing that I am going to accept her case. Her eyes are full of hope. I smiled at her, assuring her that I won't let her down.

"Talaga iha? Nako maraming salamat." Umiiyak na pasasalamat ng ina nito.

"Huwag muna ho kayong mag pasalamat. Saka na ho kapag nahimas na sa maduming rehas yong hayop na 'yon." Sabi ko sa kanila.

I looked at the girl again, she's still looking at me, so I asked her, "Kaya mo bang ikwento ang buong pangyayari?" tanong ko sa kaniya.
She nodded slowly and started to tell me everything that happened to her. After they left, I assured them that I will do everything para maipakulong yung gagong gumawa sa kaniya non.
