False Accusations

"I am sorry Ms. Albrecht, but we can't really do anything about your case. This is your final hearing and the court already made a decision."

My lawyer approached me holding a piece of a news that will finally ruin me as I was left dumbfounded.

My eyes are still fixated on the glass door where he just passed by as I watched him walked away.

"August..." I whispered his name. Bumalatay ang sakit sa buong sistema ko matapos ko siyang tingnan na talikuran ako.

Covered with unshed tears, a loud sob escaped from my mouth. Halos matumba ako sa kinatatayuan ako nang maramdaman kong nanginginig ang magkabilang binti ko.

"He left me. He just left me without knowing my explanation," I sobbed. Iniwan niya ako. Tinalikuran niya ako gaya ng pagtalikod ng pamilya ko sa'kin.
