"WHAT are you doing?"

I blinked twice and smiled. I rested my chin in the middle of my palms while looking up to him.

"Enjoying the handsome view." I chuckled.

"You have to review this case file, Miranda."

"Of course; I would, Selvantes."

He smiled and leaned forward to kiss my forehead.

"Let's go on a date later okay?"

I slowly smirked. "Miss me, huh?"

"Huh, do I? Heheheheheh, anyways I'll book the place later."

"Yes! We've been sitting here for ages, we deserve a break."

He slowly massage my shoulders. "You tell me, you're the workaholic one."

"You are the same."

I laughed while he was laughing, he caresses my face while rested his forehead into mine.

"Time to wa--"

What?

What is he saying? I suddenly felt like deaf. His mouth is moving yet I can't hear a voice.

Dev?

Then, I slowly felt something tugging my clothes while tears are dripping down my cheeks.

I opened my eyes and suddenly my friends are the one I saw.

"Omyghad! You're crying while sleeping, Elara!" Ophira shouted.

I frowned. "Huh? Really I did?"

"Are you imagining something? Like a TV series?" Lav asked.

"Don't tease her." Kanluran added.

My throat is suddenly dry, I cannot speak. What was it again?

What did I dreamed of?

"Haa, everyone, get out. You guys have work tomorrow, go home!" Ophira shouted.

"You're too much, don't send us away like a pig! Baby Isaiah, Paps will be backkk!" Kanluran shouted and hugged Isaiah.

I shook my head and kissed Isaiah's forehead. "Nangnang will also comeback tomorrow, okay?"

"Yes! Drive safely."

We all smiled and hug him once more.

I drove home as usual. Drop myself in the bed while thinking until I fall asleep.

"GOOD morning, Judge."

"Morning!" I smiled and walked to my office. "Today's schedule?"

"Oh, today is the founding anniversary of the school. I cleared your whole schedule except the meeting with the Prosecutor this evening."

"Is that so. He still hasn't given up huh." I smirked. "Thanks, Rey."

Just an usual day, work, eat and work. Nothing special.

"Sera, double check this file for me and review tonight's appointment."

She nodded. "Yes, Judge. How about the foundation ceremony?"

"Order some flowers and send them a gift. Go there in my behalf."

"Will you be fine alone, Judge?"

I smiled. "Yes. Don't worry, my brother is just next to my door."

"Well then, I shall do what you want."

"Be safe."

She smiled and quickly left my office.

I leaned in my chair while massaging my temples. I slowly stared in my ring and smiled.

"Five years huh, five years."

I smiled and went back to my work.

"Attorney, I need you to sign this." Then, Iñigo entered my office.

"Hmm, come here."

"Attorneyyy, please check this out." Jaspher suddenly appear and went inside as well.

"Miranda, consultation." Adding Sto. Domingo to the group.

I sighed first. "Place the documents here, Iñigo. Jaspher, double check and make your presentation neat before I check that. And you, Sto. Domingo, come here."

"Yes, Attorney!" They all respond with a loud shout.

A little later, they all left the room leaving me and Sto. Domingo behind. He slowly moved in front of me and handed a document.

"Why would the almighty Judg-- Attorney Sto. Domingo asked for a consultation huh." I said in sarcasm.

He smirked. "Try to be civil for once, Miranda."

I smiled. "Don't drop the formalities."

He stared first before answering. "Fine."

I laughed before checking the case he bought.

"A murder huh. Sounds fun."

He groaned. "Like hell it would. Another headache for me."

"Want me to handle it?" I smirked.

He quickly grabbed the file. "I asked for a consultation, thief."

"I didn't steal it yet. What kind of advice do you want."

"Since there is a murder scene, I could investigate it and deal it on my own right?"

I sighed. "How could you be so stupid? Are you really a board passer?"

He rolled his eyes. "Yes I am! I'm also a top-notcher."

"You doesn't sound like one. Well for your information, I fucked up the rules so, make you own don't copy me. Xerox."

"Its photocopy duh."

I shook my head when he left the office. I'm alone again, I checked the file Iñigo gave and some other things before going to my final appointment.

To that bastard.

"ELARAAAA!"

I sighed before sitting in the stool.

"Why did you set an appointment again?" I immediately asked.

"That hurts! My friend! I was the one who is with you when you're alone, why are you like this!" He sounds like crying.

"When did I do that?" I asked while drinking an alcohol placed in front of me.

"Have you been fooling around?"

"Do I look like I am?" I asked.

"Don't twist my word." He said and suddenly pulled my hair.

"You bastard asshole."

"Loner bitch."

I hissed and looked at my hands. I saw the ring once again.

I slowly found myself smiling while looking at it. It was too late when I noticed I was also thinking about someone.

"If you love him so much, why did you two broke up?"

I was taken back at first. It took me a while before answering.

I smiled at him. "He left."

A shocked reaction quickly registered in his face.

Pity? Sadness? Relief?

I couldn't read his emotion after being shocked.

I mean, I'm like that too. I was.

I tilt my head, looking up in the sky. Technically, the roof of the bar.

"Five years ago..."

I closed my eyes and feel the surroundings. I felt something, my mind, my soul, my heart is looking for someone.

I think, he is always with me.

Then, I remembered.

His sweet voice, his warm touch and even his influencing smile.

A blinding face that glows every time. More importantly his poisonous smile and his expressive eyes.

How could I forget my love?

Devon Sirius Selvantes.

The one I was longing for.

The one who always appears in my dreams and memory.

"What can I do? This is his decision. His decision was to leave me."

It hasn't been a year, since I got back at him. But in the span of that time, my love grew deeper.

The time comes where I couldn't make through a day without seeing his face. Survive a hour without hearing his voice. Pass a minute without glancing him.

I always crumble every time I imagined what life would be without you in it.

As each moments passed by, every memory and experiences we gained. My heart envisioned.

He is going to be my last.

I was right.
