Just Hold on Tight
I walked slowly while following Mr. Jonathan. I want to blame myself but I think it's not my fault. I want to apologize but why would I apologize when I don't see I'm at fault?
Napayakap ako sa sarili ko. Natatakot parin ako, what if I'll see that monster again without Ally by my side? Will I survive?
“Don't think too much about her, Allyiah can endure it. She's a strong woman, she's more than a warrior.” he said, hinintay niya akong makasabay siya sa paglalakad.
He can walk faster than i expected because he is tall. And I am not. But he managed to walk slowly like a turtle while his hands is in his pocket. Naka-uniform na siya but he is not wearing black shoes like he used to be.
Baka he's getting ready pa but this situation come up and he being a worried father immediately go here without noticing he's wearing slippers with a formal attire.
“I'm worried yet happy because she finally knew her duty.”
“Her duty to protect me is not dangerous, right?”
Napahinto siya sa paglalakad at napatingin sa malayo, “Maybe.”
“I don't have an idea why she said she knew her duty, and that is to protect me. Why? Why is it she's protecting me? Am I holding some diamonds para ganun kaprotektado ang isang tulad ko?” nakanguso kong tanong, hindi ko inaasahan ang sagot, pero kung meron mang sagot sana malaman at marinig ko na ngayon.
“You're not just holding diamonds, you're holding our lives here.” he answered without looking at me, patuloy lang ang paglalakad niya papunta sa room ko. Nagulat naman ako na nagtataka. Paanong hawak ko pati buhay nila? Pag bibitawan ko ba yun mamamatay sila?
Tumakbo ako papunta sa harapan niya, “What does that mean?” I asked, he didn't mind me and go to the other direction, to my door.
“Take a rest.” he said, he opened the door by his duplicate key. Pinanliitan ko naman siya ng mga mata. Kung may nambibitin sa bahay, pati ba naman dito? Si Papa pinapa-thrill ako noong nakaraang araw bago ako pumasok dito tapos itong si Mr. Jonathan naman.
“It's still too early for you to know it.” sagot niya kaya napatingin nalang ako sa door knob, kahit anong panliliit ko ng mata sa kanya di talaga siya aamin. Kaya nga ginawang bodyguard diba para hindi mauto agad.
I tried to say something but it seem like he will still ignore it kaya pumasok nalang ako sa loob.
“Thank you, Mr.” I said at tuluyan na ngang pumasok sa loob. Nang makita ko ang sarili ko sa salamin naalala kong may klase pa pala kami kaya agad akong napabalik sa pintuan na sasarahan na sana ni Mr. Jonathan.
“Why? What's the matter? What's up with that face?” agad niyang bungad sa akin, “Nakalimutan naming may klase pa pala! I'm late!” sabi ko sa kanya. I'm about to go out when he pull me back to my room.
“I'll take care of it. This is urgent so the two of you will be considered absent for some important reason for now.” he said in a confident tone. Looks like he's really sure of what he is saying. “Go rest, I know you're exhausted too.” sabi niya pa at tuluyan nang sinara ang pintuan.
Muntik akong mapatakbo sa gulat nang bumukas ulit ang pintuan at bumungad ang walang emosyon niyang mukha.
“Almira.” tawag niya.
What's up with this bodyguard, lalabas ata puso ko sa kaba tuwing tinatawag niya ako sa pangalan ko. I really find it creepy.
“Y-Yes?” neninerbiyos ako pero dapat chill lang.
