Fated To Love You

CHAPTER 01

"The defendant is found... guilty."

I signed in relief and stood up while fixing my things in the table, ready to leave now. I have been working in this case a month now and finally, it's really over. This gave me a headache since I just landed from LA to attend some events that I got invited on.

"Hindi!!"

I glanced at my client and gave her a nooded when I saw her smiling at me like I did something big. I actually did because I saved her to her situation s**t that she thought she would never get out with. I also glance at her husband, who is now looking at me with a dagger eyes like he will kill me any moment now. This is not the first time that I have encountered someone like him. Kung sino pa ang may masamang ginagawa sya pa ang may ganang ma galit. Aba ayos.

Thank God his wife fights for her right and gets out of his abusive husband and family. That guy and his family killed her baby, not just her but his also by giving something that makes the baby hard to breathe until it is not breathing anymore. The poor baby who just came out from her mother's tummy has only lived in more than twenty four hours since she was born.

"You f*****g b***h! Mag ba bayad ka sa ginawa mo sakin!" galit nya akong tinignan bago ang asawa nyang umiiyak ngayon. "At ikaw, hindi pa tayo tapos. Don't you ever think that you will get away with me dahil hinding hindi mangyayare yun! Akin ka lang!"

The wife cried more and slap his husband that made all the people inside gasp. The guy didn't even flinch and just smirk despite of the blood that flows from the side of his lips. That'll hurt but then wala ng mas sa sakit pa sa ginawa nya sa asawa nya. People like him deserves more that sentence lifetime in prison. They deserves to die. They deserves more than what they did. Wala ng mas masakit pa sa isang ina ang mawalan ng anak.

"Ang kapal ng mukha mo at ng pamilya mo!! Kulang pa yang kabayaran sa lahat ng ginawa mo sakin at sa walang puwang kong anak! Ipag darasal ko mamatay kayong lahat isa isa at naway mauna ka!! Hayop! Masahol ka pa sa demonyo!!"

I walk myself out to leave the court room after hearing those words. I want to cry with her but what else can I do I cannot bring her baby back to life, but at least I give her the justice. The justice that will never be enough. Pati ako ay na sasaktan sa ginawa sa kanya. If I were in her shoes ay baka hindi ko kakayanin. I did everything to give the justice that she deserves and I guess I already did. That makes me happy that even if how big that guys family is na kahit buhay ko pa ang kapalit ay na bigay ko ang hustisyang para sa kanya.

"Attorney, ano ang masasabi mo sa mga babaeng inabuso?"

"Galing ka pa daw LA at dumiritso dito, hindi ka ba napapagod sa trabaho mo?"

"Makakalaya pa ba si mayor after ng ginawa nya Attorney?"

"Are you aware Attorney that after this is paniguradong may matatanggap kang death threats?"

A lot of interviewers ask me when I reach the entrance door. Nag hintay talaga sila ha. Since I arrived from LA, they are already here. Dinomog agad nila ako ng makalabas na ako ng entrance door thanks God I have a lot of bodyguards with to protect me.

After I reach the door of my car, I open it but before I entered I face the interviewer and look at the person who ask me about death threats that I will surely get. Of course I know that, I received a lot lately and it's not new to me. Working in this industry for years, I already used of getting death threats from enemies that is not my enemy really.

"I can deal with death threats as I'm not afraid of getting one," tumingin ako sa camera na paniguradong naka live ngayon. "To the family of suspect, if your face is that thick then bring your best man to scare me. And to the victims out there that scared to fight such situation please don't be afraid of fighting what is right, there are always a table to those people that need to be punish."

Umalis na ako agad ma tapos sabihin yun. I'm aware of the consequences from the situation that I'm getting into. Sa sinabi kong iyon ay para ko na rin binaon sa hukay ang sarili ko. Hindi ko lang na mapigilan ang sarili kong mag salita. I'm not afraid of them, mas matatakot pa akong hindi mailabas ang sama ng loob ko kaysa mag salita.

"Ayy kuya!"

Napasigaw ako ng biglang nag preno si kuya Rjay, my driver. When I look at in front there's a lot of armed people covering their face while pointed their guns in our car. s**t. Why is it too fast. Ang bilis nilang mag patahimik.

"Kuya..." takot kong tinignan si kuya Rjay, takot na baka mapahamak sya lalo nat sya ang nasa unahan.

"Wag po kayong mag alala sakin ma'am, at marami po tayo poprotektahan ka po namin," ngumiti pa ito.

Hindi pa din napanatag ang loob ko hanggang sa bumukas ang mga ilaw sa paligid, tanda na dumating na ang mga kasamahan namin. I saw black cars na nakapaligid sa kotse naming na sa gitna. They are my families bodyguards that my grandparents send to protects me incase of emergency. Katulad ngayon.

"Sabi ko naman sayo ma'am eh,"

Tumawa pa talaga sya, may gana pa talaga syang tumawa habang may baril na naka tutuk sa kanya.

I saw how nervous the armed people are when my grandparents bodyguards started pointing also their guns to them. Those people didn't think twice before making a move that will also lead to their people's death. How dumb.

Napasigaw ako ng malakas ng bigla nalang silang nag paputok sa direksyon namin at sa kung saan saan pa bago tuloyang tumakas. They distracted us to escape and they did actually escape what the hell.

"Sundan nyo!"

Nakaramdam ako ng manhid sa kaliwang braso ko ng mag tangka akong buksan ang pinto ng kotse para sana pag sabihan ang iba pang guards.

Shit, nadaplisan ako.

"Ma'am dadalhin ko po kayo sa hospital," kuya Rjay is getting nervous that he almost drop his keys because of shaking.

I want to laugh at him but my wounds is getting bad to the point that I don't feel my arms anymore. What the f*****g hell mag ba bayad ka Mayor!! I will show you why you shouldn't have give me a chance to live. You could've killed me, you have a chance but you did wrong decision that you will regret for the rest of your life. Pag sisisihan mong hindi mo pa ako tinuloyan.

"Her vitals is fine, and let her rest here for the meantime so that we can observe her,"

I listens to the conversation of kuya Rjay and probably the Doctor before kuya leave the room to buy some food. I am now left with the Doctor and Nurses inside the room checking on me. May biglang pumasok na isa pang Nurse.

"Doctor Yzaie someone's looking for you in the ward,"

"Susunod ako,"

I checked my social media accounts and the news about me being ambush spread like a wildfire. Wow they're so fast spreading gossips huh. I also checked my emails and schedules for this week when a message pop up. From my friend groups gc.

Heaven:

Yoo kumusta ang abogado namin na araw araw nalang dinadalaw ni San Pedro?

Pin:

Stop saying that way, your so harsh.

Faith:

Bakla kumusta ka nako kapag nakita ko talaga yung buang na yun matatamaan sya sa laki ng muscle ko!

Natawa ako ng mahina ng biglang nalang may umubo ng mahina sa tabi ko. I consciously look at the man in a doctor uniform.

"You're a lawyer but you can't take care of yourself how come your still alive," he said.

"Your a doctor but you're acting like a reporter," I rolled my eyes at him before opening my phone to chat my friends.

Kayie:

Girls I'm fine, wanna drink with me tomorrow? Xylo.

"Drink your medicine then you can leave," he started walking but when he's about to leave he then look at me and said something that made me stunned before leaving.

"And I hope we will never see each other again,"

Music echoes my ears when I enter the club that one of my friends owns. I tried my best not to gain attention by wearing shades and luckily the people here minding their own business, by drinking and dancing. I even saw someone kissing in the corner which is normal. But not to me I have name to protect, I'm a model and a lawyer.

"Hey girls,"

I kiss their cheeks when I arrived at our coach that Pin reserves for us. She owns this big club located at BGC, bunga ng pagiging party girl nya. Talking about Pin there she is making momol in the dance floor with... wow... that's Johnny, a famous model. I was once partnered with him the other month, model of swimwear.

"Gaga ka kumusta sugat mo, nag improve ka girl sumasalo ka na ng bala ngayon!" Faith laugh, our gay bestfriend.

Gusto ko sanang matawa din sa sinabi nya ng bigla akong yakapin ng kadadating lang na si Heaven.

"Nag alala ako sayo Ukaye..." nabigla ako ng sumisingot na sya tanda na umiiyak. "Baka kung ano ng nangyare sayo, hindi kita ma dalaw dahil ang daming nag aabang sayo sa hospital tska hindi din pinapapasok ng mga bantay mo ang mga dumadalaw."

I comforted her hanggang sa sumangayon na syang okay lang talaga ako. She's not satisfied yet there's still worried look invaded in her eyes, she keeps asking if I'm okay that makes me feel safe. At least I have them. I am nothing to my family but then I have my friends they loves me and cares for me more than my family does.

Later on we drink different kinds of alcohol without thinking what would happen to us after. What will happen to me after pala since I have reputation to protect. I just hope there's no photograper roaming around here. I want to live a normal life just for tonight please, I want to have fun.

I was dancing with a stranger on the dance floor when I was force to walk leaving the guy dance by himself. Galit kong inismaran ang lalaking humablot sakin but in my horror it was the Doctor!

"W-what in the world are you doing here!?" I don't know what I'm saying anymore as I am so drunk right now.

I'm not even sure that it is the same Doctor in hospital I was check in too. They're just look the same, or baka kalasingan ko lang to.

"Sorry to disturb you but I called you a lot of times but your busy dancing with your man so I grab you..."

Did I just saw him rolling his eyes on me while saying those like it is the most annoying words he heard. I raised my brows on him crossing both of my hands, questioning him with my looks. He never talk and just lick his side of his cheek and look at me from head to toe.

Suddenly I feel embarrassed with the clothes I'm wearing for I don't know the reason why. I'm wearing a backless red dress that hug my body perfectly with a glimpse of top of my boobs paired with high heels. s**t, why is he looking at me like that! His eyes stop in my chest that made my cheeks burn.

I snap my finger. "Eyes here Doc,"

"Shot! Take this," he hand me a pack of medicine. "I run some test and you have a lot to take care off including your health and body."

What?? What the hell. Yun lang ba ang pinunta nya dito and really just because he saw something while running a test without me knowing? And seriously dito pa talaga, inside a club!! I can't believe him, I even remember him yesterday saying that he hopes we will never see each other again. Na kalimutan nya na agad ang salitang nang gagaling mismo sa kanya? Wow just wow.

At bakit ayaw nya akong makita who is he ba! I don't even know him my gosh!

Para ko ng pinapatay ng tingin ang likuran nya ng bigla nalang itong naglalakad pa balik kung na saan ako.

"W-w-what..."

Nanigas ako sa kinatatayuan ko when he suddenly wrap his jacket around me when I didn't take it nung binigay nya sakin.

What the f**k.

"I can fight but I don't have the privilege to do so, so please take good care of yourself... Kanina ko pa pinipigilan ang sarili ko sa tingin ng tingin sa katawan mo Attorney. If you don't want to see me in court, they better behave themselves including you."

I was left speechless when I didn't saw my friend in our coach. f**k they left me here! Did they think that I got myself a boy tonight who will bring me home? That would be nice to hear but then I did not! Pero iniwan na nila ako mga walangyang yun bukas talaga sila sakin.

"Urgh!"

Hinawakan ko ang ulo ko ng sumakit yun. Ang sakit pucha ano ba yung iniinom namin, I swear I will never drink alcohol again! I reach for my phone and texted kuya Rjay to pick me up before walking outside at doon nalang mag hintay. I bumped into someone but I didn't glance who it is because of how bad my head hurts. This is hell.

I receive a text message from kuya Rjay saying he will be here in a minute now, he will just fix the window of the car who got damage when we were ambushed. Speaking off, hindi na nila ako ginagambala ha kailan kaya ulit.

"Kidding hahaha," tumawa akong mag isa dahil sa iniisip.

Habang nag lalakad ay hindi ko namalayang nakarating na pala ako sa gilid ng ilog. There's a small lake not far from where the club of Pin located. A thought of swimming cross my mind but I shake my head mentally causing me almost hit my head in the ground, when a pair of arms prevent me from falling.

"Thank—"

I didn't get to finish my sentence when he suddenly stab my stomach before running away. s**t is this the end of my life? Naramdaman ko nalang na may tumulong dugo galing sa bibig ko. My eyes become blurry as times goes by. I tried looking around for help but I didn't see anyone, it's just me here all alone. I can't even make a sound because of pain that I felt in my stomach.

Is this the end of me?

Sinubukan kong mag lakad pero hindi ko namalayan ay nasa gilid na pala ako causing for me to fall to the lake.

"Ukaye!"

I heard my name. I smiled. That voice sounds so familiar but I can't think who it was. He must be very close to me because he called me by my nickname that only my closest knows. I guess it's kuya Rjay.

Hinayaan ko lang ang sarili kong lumubog sa tubig at ipinikit na ang mga mata ko. Kuya Rjay is too late but it's fine at least he came for me. Thinking about what will happen if I left hit me, I am important to no one so why bother worrying right. My family would be very happy to know that their toy is now finally gone to their sight. How touching.

I just wish in my other life I get to feel the never ending love that I heard from my friends, who's now experiencing those. I want that too. I want to wear the same smile they are wearing when they found their true love.

Is that possible. I am now accepting that this will be the end of my useless life.
