My Phenomenal Bodyguard

CHAPTER 21

"Derren Criss Somerhalder?" Napakunot akong nakatitig sa pangalan nang celebrant.

Bakit Somerhalder? Maybe I made a mistake. There's a lot of people who named Darren Criss in this whole wide world.

I sighed. I thought it was really him. I really miss him.

*Beep* *beep* *beep* I heard my phone beeped there must be a message from someone. Sino naman kaya ito?

COMING
-Vien

What does he mean 'COMING'. Coming where? In the middle of the night his going somewhere? Maybe this text is not for me, maybe he send it wrong.

Kaya di ko na lang pinansin ang text niya at tinignang muli ang invitation card. I heaved a sighed again. I put my phone and the invitation card at my bed side table.

I was about to lay down on my bed when I heard a 'peep' sound of a car outside the mansion.

Sino na naman kaya 'yon? Baka sa kabilang bahay lang siguro iyon. Muli kong itinuloy ang paghiga ko sa malambot at mabango kong kama.

A couple of minutes when i hear a knock from my room door. I abruptly stand and went to the door way to open it.

"Oh Manang Teni, may kailangan po ba kayo?" Tanong ko kay Manang nang siya ang bumungad sa akin sa labas nang aking silid.

"May bisita ka" she said.

"Ako? Sino naman po?" I asked. Sino na naman kayang hinayopak ang naghahanap sa akin.

I'm tired and sleepy. Bakit ang dami naman atang isturbo.

"Si Vien hija" nakangiting sabi ni Manang.

Si Vien? Ano na naman ba ang trip nang lokong iyon at napasugod nang ganitong oras.

"Ano raw po ang kailangan niya? May sinabi po ba siya?" Nagtataka kong tanong sabay labas sa aking silid at nagsimula nang maglakad pababa nang hagdan.

"Wala siyang ibang sinabi pero nakabihis siya nang pantulog at may dalang unan" sabi ni Manang na nagpataka sa akin.

Nakasuot nang pantulog? May dalang unan? Pinalayas na ba siya sa kanila? Why can't he rent a hotel bakit dito pa siya pumunta.

"Hey" bati ni Vien nang makapunta ako sa sala.

Tinignan ko ang itsura niya mula ulo hanggang paa. Totoo nga ang sinabi ni manang.

Lumapit ito at sabay yumakap sa akin.

"Ahem"

Napabitaw si Vien sa pagkakayakap at sabay naming tinignan ang tumikhim. Just to see the whole team of Acerdel standing in front of us.

"Hey! What are you doing here?" Bati at curious na tanong ni Vien kina Rrender.

"Vien. Well we're here to help guarding Ms. Zaitel tonight." Sagot naman ni Reividan.

"Oh I see" Vien responded.

"How about you, what are you doing here wearing a pajamas and carrying a pillow? Are you going to have a sleepover somewhere near here?" Reividan asked to Vien.

"No I don't have a sleepover but I'm here to guard Chepipay too" sabi niya sabay tingin sa kapatid niyang si Acerdel.

"Who's Chepipay? Is that your dog name?" Curious naman na tanong ni Rrender. Sabi ko na nga ba at pang aso talaga iyang inalyas sa akin ni Vien. Loko talaga 'to.

"No. Chepipay is what I used to call Zaitel" natatawa niyang sagot sa tanong ni Rrender.

"Ohh sorry Ms. Zaitel" hinging paumanhin nito.
