Mafia Boss 3: My Bodyguard

Chapter 43

"Should I do that?" Should I not overthink?

He kissed the tip of my nose.

"You should. Everything will be okay, I promise."

"Thank you... thank you for getting me out of there. I wanna be with you." It's not that Mom will do something bad to me, hindi niya ako sasaktan. It's just that, gusto kong marinig mismo kay Ozi ang lahat. Gusto kong marinig ang side niya, gusto kong maniwala sa puso ko na hindi niya magagawa sa akin ang sinabi ni Mom because I believe that he loves me. Iyon ang pinanghahawakan ko.

And then I remembered what my Mom said. Na ginagamit lang ako ni Ozi para mapabagsak ang organisasyon ni Mom.

"What's wrong?" He immediately asked when he noticed that I started to tremble a little again.

"Mom told me something..."

"And that was?"

Umiling ako... I trust Ozi.

"Nothing." I smiled, habang hindi ko na alam ang sasabihin ko, I think it's not necessary to tell him that. I don't want him to doubt me.

"I won't harm you. I never intended to do that. Wala akong balak. I love you how can I even hurt you?"

"I know."

"Your Mom must have been mistaken for something..." He said. Hinintay kong magsalita ulit siya.

"Actually kaya ako nagtago kay Dad noon pa, it's because I don't want to become a Mafia Boss. Iyon ang sinasabi ko sayo na gusto niyang ipagawa sa akin. Until now, I didn't take the offer. I did everything para pilitin siyang huwag ako. But he was so persistent."

He holds my hand tight and kissed the back of it.

"Katulad mo, I ran away again. Because I wanna have a peaceful life with you. I didn't accept the 'Boss' title. Pinaghahanap din niya ako ngayon. But I'll make sure that he won't find us. We'll go to far places just he couldn't find us. It's just you and me, mi amor. Will you come with me wherever our feets would take us?"

A tear escaped from my eye. Niyakap ko siya ng mahigpit. I didn't know na iyon pala ang pinagkakaabalahan niya, ang mapapayag ang Daddy niya para hindi siya maging Boss sa isang mafia organization. But when his Dad didn't want to, nagtatago ulit siya ngayon. But this time kasama ako.

"I would love to be with you, kahit saan pa 'yan."

"Thank you..."

"Let's not think about what happened this day. Let's just live like before, pwede ba 'yon?" I asked.

"Of course." He smiled at me again. "Where do you wanna go?"

"Anywhere as long as you're with me."

Pinitik niya ang ilong ko. I glared at him.

"Bodyguard mo ako, syempre kung nasaan ka nandoon din ako."

I chuckled. Kinareer na ang pagiging bodyguard for life.

I filled my lungs with air and exhaled. It wil be just me and him against everything.

He hugged me once again. "Alright then," and he started to drive the car.

I leaned on the seat. Closed my eyes and inhaled Ozi's scent that is around his car.

Naramdaman ko na naman ang pagod at ang hilo, naalala kong hindi pa pala ako kumain simula nang kinidnap kami sa bahay. I haven't eaten for two days. I'm too weak to utter a word once again, but I still tried.

"Kharlo Rozzi Kho..."

"Hmm?"

You won't harm me and my family right?
