The Businessman's Obsession (Dangerous Man Series)

Chapter 7

I suddenly felt shy. He's right I'm too short for my age, and it pisses me off.

Inabot niya naman kaagad ang bag ko saka kinuha ang iba pang gamit na dala namin. Nasa business class kami kaya kami ang huling lalabas.

Isinukbit ko ulit ang backpack ko at inayos ang salamin ko. I'm quite near sighted just like mom.

"Come on, let's get off." he said, nauna na siyang maglakad papalabas habang hawak ang mga maleta namin.

He's not struggling because he's tall and big.

I just followed him quietly. Watching his back. I'm amazed how broad it was. I'm like a little boy beside him.

Maybe that's why Dad wanted me to call him Uncle. He's the Uncle type.

After namin makababa ng eroplano ay dumertso na agad kami sa lobby. Uncle Alex asked me to wait for a while our service.

Nilibot ko ang paningin ko, so this is the philippines? I'm really here now right? I checked the time and it's six p.m.

I should email Dad, but my email doesn't get through at all. What should I do? Should I ask Uncle to inform my dad for me.

"Mama!"

Napatingin ako sa isang bata na tumatakbo, papunta pala siya sa nanay niya na galing abroad. He looked so happy to see his mother again.

What a cutie.

"Come'on, my cousin is outside now." I heard Uncle said.

I nodded and stood up, while he was pushing the luggage cart. I can feel people are staring at us while walking.

Somehow I'm not feeling uncomfortable just like how I used to be.

I don't feel any fear at all? I only feel assured when I'm with Dad. Is this because I'm fond of Uncle Alex now?

As I walk beside him, people just keep on staring at us.

"Are you okay? Do you feel any discomfort righy now?" Pag-aalala niyang tanong.

Umiling naman ako. "No, I'm fine. It's just people are staring at us. I'm not fond of this situation." Mahina kong sagot.

He patted my head and smiled.

"Don't worry, you won't get hurt as long as I'm with you. Just chill and look at me, okay?" He assured.

I nodded and looked away, how can he be this kind? Is he doing this because my Dad told him to? Or he's pitying on me?

No, I shouldn't doubt him. Wala na siyang ibang pinakita sa'kin kundi kabaitan.

And Dad told me to trust him, that should be enough right?

"T-thanks." Nahihiya kong pagpapasalamat sa kaniya.

He laughed. "You're welcome. Besides, I'm gonna be rewarded with a special gift soon. Nothing's free here you know." I heard him welcomed me but he was mumbling something I can't here.

"What? I didn't hear well." I hissed.

"Nothing, I just said we're here." I didn't noticed we were outside already. "Oh, that should be him." I looked at his gaze and saw a man waving at him.

"Let's go." He said and pushed to cart towards the man. I just followed him quietly.

"Couz! It's good to see you again, it's been ages!" The man greeted him.

I didn't realized he was crazy tall too. They're like slenderman.

"Yeah, you've grown so tall too! Pero mas matangkad parin ako Haha!" Uncle exclaimed.
