MAIAH

"Really, Dad? Are you serious? She's my bodyguard?!" gulat na tanong ni Kyle.

Oh, bakit para namang napaka-horrible ng reaksyon niya nang malamang ako ang magiging bodyguard niya? May problema ba dun?

Tumango si Sir Kristoffer.

"No, you can't be serious! She's not going to be my bodyguard. I don't like her. I don't think she can protect me. I don't think she's capable of doing that. I'm not putting my life on her. After all, she's still a woman." he said frankly.

At doon napataas ang kilay ko. What did he just said? I am not capable of doing this? Who the hell he think he is para sabihin niyang hindi ko kayang gawin ang trabaho ko? Anak ba talaga siya ng Daddy niya? Yes, may pagkakahawig silang dalawa, pero sobrang layo ng ugali niya sa tatay niya dahil yung tatay niya mukhang mabait at hindi nagtataas ng boses Hindi bossy ang dating. Samantalang siya, napakayabang ! Akala mo kung sino. Kung ayaw mo sakin, mas lalong ayaw ko naman sa yo, no! One hell of a judger! Ngayon pa lang ay kumukulo na ang dugo ko sa lalaking 'to. Napaka sexist!

Nagkatinginan kami ni Tony. I know his look. He's also asking why is he bursting things like that but I don't even know the exact reason why except for the fact that he doesn't like me as his Bodyguard just because I'm a woman.

"Kyle, don't say that. They're obviously here and it's not right for you to judge someone easily. Maiah is one of the best in their team. In fact, she ranked number one. She's absolutely great and I'm very confident that she's going to keep you safe. Besides, what's wrong with a female bodyguard? I'm not going to choose someone who can't protect you, son. Who can put your life in danger. I will definitely not do that. That's why you have to trust her. And don't ever say that again. You didn't see anything, yet." paliwanag ni Mr. Martin.

Gusto kong tumawa ng malakas dahil sa pangangaral ng tatay niya ngayon sa kanya. Buti nga sa yo, pinagalitan ka ng Daddy mo! Marami na akong nahawakan na mga elite clients, pero kakaiba ang isang to. Hindi pa man ako nagsisimula sa trabaho ko, ang dami na agad reklamo. Ang galing na agad mag-conclude. At first time kong masabihan ng 'I'm not capable of doing this job'. The heck ! Well, I don't think I deserve him as a client. Naturingan pa namang presidente ng malaking kumpanya, ganito ang ugali. Where are the manners, Kyle Joseph Martin?

Isa rin ba siyang spoiled Mama's boy na karamihang sakit ng mga lalaking mayayaman? Mga arogante at laging gusto nila ang nasusunod?

But as usual, I keep a straight face. Ayokong magpaapekto sa sinabi ng mayabang na lalaking to.

And looking at him right now, ayun. Patay malisya, parang walang narinig sa sinabi ng daddy niya. Taas noo pa rin.

Humarap sa akin si Sir Kristoffer. "I'm sorry, Maiah. I know Kyle is just overwhelmed. I hope you don't mind that." apologetic na sabi ng Daddy niya.

I give him a smile. "Of course, Mr. Martin. It's really nothing. I guess, all I have to do is to prove to him that you're totally right with your decision of choosing me." at ngiting aso ako kay Kyle na tiningnan lang ako, showing no emotion at all. Like I care!

He smiles back. "Thanks, Maiah ..." at lumingon sa anak niya. "... We need to talk later. But for now, I guess, we should eat before you start. I'm getting hungry." and he laughs.

Hindi rin naman nagtagal at dumating na yung pagkain na pinadeliver ng Daddy niya.

Naupo kaming apat, si Tony kaharap si Mr. Martin, and unfortunately, kaharap ko ang mayabang kong kliyente.
