TBIILWYM 44 |Attorney Ylmarix

That was one of a hell meeting, buti nalang at natapos na and I'm literally free the whole day. Hindi ako makahinga ng maayos, ni hindi makagalaw ng komportable. It feels like there's someone staring at me, and it made me feel awkward. Kapag naman ililibot ko ang tingin wala naman akong nahuhuling nakatingin.

I frowned trying to understand the files they gave us. My mind is flying over the thought that Xerxes really changed big time. He looked really, really different than the last time. Puberty hits really hard, I guess?

"Sino ba ex mo sa dalawa?" I glanced at Shermaneous who's now busy typing something on his cellphone. "Yung mukhang marahas na nambabalibag o yung magandang retokadang wala ng itlog?" Napangiwi ako sa paraan niya ng pagsasalita. "Tamang-tama iyong sinabi ko sayong magaling na abogago este abogado nameet mo na. Hindi na masyadong hassle." Hindi ko masundan ang mga sinasabi niya sa sobrang bilis nitong magsalita, I ended up nodding even though I didn't understand what he said.

Once again I looked at the papers, remembering Mama La's request. Left with no choice, I signed the contract of the projects with my signature and after that I slid it on a envelope for safety. Ipapabigay ko nalang kay Shermaneous, siya nalang ang makipag-usap sa mga Guevara.

"I'm tired.." Absentmindedly said. It was our first time seeing each other after five years. And I was drained. "Gusto ko nang matulog.."

Nagulat ako ng kuhanin ni Shermaneous ang mga gamit ko at ang kanya, "tara na, tapos na rin naman yung agenda for today." I looked at him weirdly, anong meron? "Oh, concern lang ako. At saka remember, may schedule kayo ni pinsan ngayon? " Nangunot noo ako. "Ako, 'di ba third wheel?" Anito sabay itinuro ang sarili.

Umiling ako, ah, yes. I miss Zachy na. "Okay, let's go," nagkwentuhan pa kami bago bumaba sa elevator. We rode his car and drove straightly to Zachariah's place. "Shermaneous.." Tawag ko sakanya, trying to open a conversation.

"Hmm?" He hummed still seriously facing the road.

"T-The attorney you are talking about..." I hesitantly said.. "Is this attorney really can help me with my papa ganda's case?" I asked. Bothered that's me this past few weeks. Hindi ko pa nalalaman kung sino ang mastermind... wala rin akong lead kung saan at sino ang dalawang lalaking bumaril kay Papa Ganda.

I just have me, myself and I. The memories, statement I have. Iyon lang baka nga hindi ko mapush ang kaso. I silently cussed, closing my eyelids tightly.

"Don't worry magaling yung abogado. Si Zachariah nga ang naghanap nun para sayo," my eyes widened. "Wala ka bang tiwala kay Zachy?" He asked. I shooked my head.

"Syempre meron! Zachariah is the last person I won't believe."

He sighed. "Iyon naman pala eh, at saka marami kaming tutulong sayo. I have enough of time seeing your desperate and misarable face all the time. I need another angles and expression. Heavens."

"Bully," bulong ko.

"Wow, Galatea ah. Wow sayo. Nakakahiya aba. " I saw how he rolled his eyes through the cars mirror.

We continued talking until we reached our destination. I looked up to the big building, unlike our firm this is way to huge. Zachariah really is a successful person now.

Zachariah Salvador, 28 years old. He strived hard to reached his goals, sacrifice everything but now looked at him. I'm very proud. A eingeneer, a good friend and a good son.

"Oo, tapos a good manhid din.." Napalingon ako kay Shermaneous ng bigla itong magsalita. "Bakit? Hala, geh, baba na. Naghihintay na 'yon. " Anito. I shrugged my shoulders off, anong good na manhid? Sino?
