Atty. Christine Villeza

"What the fvcking hell, may live porn dito?"

Agad kaming naghiwalay ni Sandoval at napatingin kina Jelsey at Jeffrey sa may pintuan. Mabuti na lang at nakasara 'yong pinto dahil kung hindi ay sasampalin ko talaga ang mga bibig nito. We were both shocked and surprised by them.

"Oh, J-Jelsey, nandito ka na pala?" Inipit ko sa likod ng aking tainga ang nagulo kong buhok. Jelsey chuckled and crossed her arms.

Si Jeffrey naman ay halatang nagpipigil ng tawa. "Nandito rin kaya ako, Attorney Christine." pang-aasar pa nito na sinamaan ko naman ng tingin. They were both grinning as they sit beside me. Nasa gitna nila akong dalawa.

"So, anong ginagawa niyo ditong dalawa kanina?" nakangising tanong ni Jelsey kay Sandoval. Si Jeffrey naman ay natawa sa aking gilid kaya nasiko ko agad. Ang lakas talaga mang-asar ng dalawang 'to ngayon.

"I kissed for I missed her." Sandoval replied straightforwardly. Bahagya akong natawa sa sinabi ng kumag na 'to. "Why? Do you want a kiss as well?" Sandoval scoffed so Jeffrey and I laughed.

"No fvcking way, son of a bitch." Jelsey retorted and raised her brows. Inilabas na rin nito ang mga papeles na mapag-uusapan namin ngayong araw. We will talk about Sandoval's past trials. "While you were recovering, Christine, we already had two court trials."

"Yeah, napanood ko rin naman thru livestreams and TV live broadcasts. Magaling mag-cover si Jeffrey ng court trial eh." Ngumiti itong si Jeffrey sa akin dahil sa sinabi ko. Inirapan ko naman. Ayoko talaga sa isang 'to dati pa, ewan ko ba kung paano sila nagkasundo ni Jelsey.

"Alright, so you already knew that we won on our second trial, but we lost on the third one?"

"Absolutely."

"Anong masasabi mo?" Humarap ito sa akin habang nagbabasa ng mga papeles na hawak niya. Bahagya akong napaisip sa tanong nito. Ano nga bang masasabi ko?

"Noong pangalawang trial, puro circumstancial evidence, hindi naman lahat, kaya natalo sila sa sayo. Well, aside from that, you also object one of their evidences that is illegally acquired. What was that evidence again?"

"Multiple video recordings." Sandoval answered. Napatango naman ako habang si Jeffrey ay nagsusulat ng notes.

"Is it true that it was from your camera?"

Sandoval nodded. "But Charisse took all the videos in it. Kaya lang dahil nga na-coma siya, sa akin dapat sila nag-paalam para gamitin ang mga 'yon. But they didn't. All they did was use that to try framing me, but they failed."

Tumigil si Jelsey sa pagbabasa niya at napatingin kay Sandoval. "I objected his evidence before he could present it as whole. Ano bang mga laman ng video recordings?" Jelsey asked Sandoval. Lahat kami'y naghihintay sa sagot niya.

"Vlogs." Napakunot ang mga noo namin sa sinabi ni Sandoval. "Life vlogs."

"Vlogs?" Kunot-noo kong tanong. "As in Hi guys, welcome to my channel?" Ginaya ko pa talaga ang litanya ng mga karaniwang vloggers sa Youtube.

Natawa si Jeffrey sa aking tabi samantalang si Sandoval ay napangiti. "Yeah, that one." He chuckled and smiled while keeping his stare at me. Ang gwapo talaga ng gagong 'to.

"Paano siya napunta sa pagba-vlog?" Jelsey interrogated. Nagsisimula na nga talaga kami sa paghahanap na naman ng bagong ebidensya. We need to find more.

We only have one month before the final trial of Sandoval's case.

Napaisip si Sandoval at bahagyang tumingala. After a couple of seconds of holding his chin, he looked at us straightly and grinned. "She loves filming herself from the start. Even before we met and be arranged in marriage. She loves taking videos every time she has the opportunity."
