What Would It Be? (COMPLETED)

#WhatWouldItBe

It's funny how we are just talking about him and almost couldn't figure out why we did it when suddenly... world starts to play stupid games again.

I stayed there. Just watching them talking and blabbering words I couldn't figure out. Ellis was just silent beside me, if he talks, he's just gonna confirm to himself that it is really the artist Trent inside of the room.

"Do you know what happened?"

"I don't.. Nadaanan ko lang at babalik na sana pero napansin ko kasi iyong isa tapos parang galit pa si Atty. Arcilla.." kagat-kagat ni Ellis ang mga kuko sa daliri.

From here, alam ko na hindi nila mapapansin na may taong nakatingin at nanonood sa kanila. Ellis was just right, Von looks like he was ready to spit fire.

And that's what I'm nervous about. Hindi dahil nandito ang pamilya ni Trent, it's because of him! I'm having a bad feeling that he might do something wrong.

"Ellis!" napatalon kaming dalawa nang may tumawag sa kaniya. Only to see that he's calling for some help with the lawyers from outside.

I was left but with no choice. Pwede namang sumama na ako sa kaniya at umuwi na lang. Malapit na mag six at dapat magpapahinga na ako para hindi ako lutang bukas but...

Here I am... shocked and scared on what's happening from the inside.

Umaasa ako na sana may dadaan at may papasok sa loob. With that, I can ask him or her what's happening inside. Kasi... bakit sila nandito? Bakit nandito parents ni Trent at parang magka-away sila?

Especially Trent? Oh God, ilang taon na ang lumipas and I won't deny na I almost forgot how he looks like but now.. he's just there.. waiting a grip away.

Pero ilang minuto na ang lumipas ay wala pa ring pumapasok mula sa loob. I stayed outside, just enough to see what's happening inside. Kahit hindi ko sila naririnig, I can sense that they are having an argument from the inside.

Nag-iisip na ako ng pwedeng dahilan kung sakaling may dumaan na kapwa-abogado ko at makita na nasa labas ako ng isang office ng firm nang..

"Oh God!"

I didn't think twice and all I know after was I stopped Von's fist from coming onto Trent's face! Everyone gasped from my sudden entrance but it's not my priority by now!

"Atty. Arcilla! Calm down!" I tried to appease Von but he's catching his breath so hard now while throwing daggers at Trent. Nakatayo na silang dalawa at ganoon din ang reaksyon ni Trent sa balak ng isa.

"You know that it's unlawful to do that, right?" sinubukan kong gawing kalmado ang boses ko kahit na para akong aatakihin na sa puso.

"Just one. Just one for this ungrateful piece of shit!" he tried again but failed.

"Talagang ako pa ah?!" buwelta ni Trent but Tito Gessy was quick too stop him from doing the same thing!

"Can you two please stop?!" I shouted. Tinulak ko palayo si Von para kahit papaano ay hindi na niya maabot pa si Trent.

When I looked down, all I can see was Trent's mother's eyes on me. Sinubukan kong basahin kung anong gusto niyang iparating pero hindi ko magawa.

"I would like to apologize for what just happened.." I began. "And for my sudden entrance in the room but I'm also an attorney in here," then I showed them my license and ID.

Trent's eyes are staring and boring into my eyes. Kagaya ng nanay niya, may kung ano roon. Pero pakialam ko?

"We would like to give you some job we're doing but I guess this is not the best and appropriate time to do that," sumulyap ako sa orasan sa tabi. "Maybe we can reschedule this tomorrow? Or the very next day?"
