Babysitting The Frog Princess

Chapter XIV: Enchanted

**************************

Aika Villavicencio

Mr. Niell Riley I. Cepeda or Paco arrived in here yesterday during lunch time, his unannounced arrival in our mansion really did affect my life but I'm not sure if he's aware about it and I'm pretty sure that he doesn't care either. But anyway, I don't want him to be here. I don't need him in my life at all.

With or without Lola by my side, I can managed myself and besides? My friends are gonna be studying in Las Espadas National High School too. Sa madaling say, I won't out of place at all kapag pumasok na ako sa normal na school. Me having a handsome babysitter is peculiar, ayokong isipin ng mga kaklase ko na weirdo ako o may sakit. I'm completely sane and normal but I don't think Lola is.

Hindi ko lang maintindihan kung bakit siya nag-hire ng babysitter at ang nakakapag-taka pa eh bakit lalaki? Hindi ba dapat eh babae ang mga nag-aalaga? Bakit lalaki ang kinuha niya para sa'kin? What if this man is a bad guy? What if he's a thief? What if he tries to rape me? Or even kill me?

Maraming possibilities na pwedeng mang yari, kapag hindi kami nag-ingat then parehas kaming mapapahamak and isa pa? Gaano niya ba ka-close 'tong si Paco? What are they? How exactly are they related to each other? Family? Acquaintance? Is his Mom friends with Lola? Or his Lola is friends with my Lola? If that's the case then why is he working for my Lola?

A handsome babysitter? Hayst... What am I supposed to do with him? Marunong naman akong gumawa ng gawaing bahay kahit wala akong kasama, I mean? Palagi ko namang ginagawa ang bagay na 'yon. Sa pag-luluto, I can also manage that on my own without anyone's help. I trained myself, nanonood lang ako ng mga YouTube videos kapag may gusto akong pag-kain na matutunang gawin o lutuin like 'yung Sinigang Na Baboy.

When it comes sa pag-lalaba, automatic naman ang washing machine namin. Pag-tapos malabahan ng mga damit ay maaari ko nang isampay at madali lang naman 'yon, hindi rin ako mahihirapan na gawin 'yon. Watering my plants is not a complicated thing either, halos lahat ng bagay na ginagawa ko ay hindi naman mahirap o komplikado kaya hindi ko kailangan ng isang gwapong babysitter!

Nag-iisip na ako ng mabisang paraan to get rid of him as soon as possible but I can also let him stay here, bakit? Because he'll definitely end up running away from me kapag nalaman niya ang sekreto ko. Ako ang tumatakbo palayo ngayon dahil iniiwasan kong mang yari 'yon, it's better to stay away from him to avoid any unwanted problems like falling in love.

Wala akong ideya kung bakit siya pumayag sa gusto ni Lola Andreanna, he can be a model or a businessman but he chose to be a babysitter of a seventeen year old girl despite the fact that he doesn't even know me at all. Oo, maaaring malapit sila ni Lola sa isa't-isa pero seryoso? Talaga bang tinanggap niya ang kung anumang in-offer ni Lola sa kaniya?!

What made him agree to Lola's offer?

Kailangan niya ba ng pera? Matutuluyan? Or he's just plotting against us?

His expression were always blank, I can't tell whether he's mad or not. Palagi rin malayo ang tingin niya, para bang mayroon siyang hinihintay na dumating o kung ano pa man pero napansin ko lang din na palaging malungkot ang mga mata niya kahit ang gaganda ng mga ito.

He's making me curious about his life, I wanna know him but I have no time for that because I have to get rid of him. I'm afraid that if he and I became close to each other, baka mahirapan akong tanggapin na wala na siya kapag bigla na lang siyang umalis o kapag lumayo siya sa'kin.
