Mission: Protect Him At All Cost

chapter tres (3)

I was nervous when I held the door knob. Una akong pumasok at sumunod yung babae sa likod. When I stepped inside you can hear the laughter coming from his team.

Mr. Marcos was at the center, laughing with them. Sa kanilang lahat, mas nangingibabaw yung tawa niya. Ang cute lang.

When they finally felt my presence, tumingin agad sila sa akin with a smile on their faces. Especially Mr. Bongbong, I thought he'll be strict and serious, but seeing him in this current state na naka smile lang siya. Gumaan yung pakiramdam ko, I feel comfortable in this room. Medyo nawala na yung kaba ko.

"Oh Ms. Roberts, here have a seat." He said pointing at the empty seat beside him. Hanggang ngayon nakangiti pa rin siya. Wow, kahit pala he is in his 60's ang bata pa niya tingnan, ang gwapo parin.

"Good morning sir, its nice to meet you in person." I said and offered my hand which he gladly accept it. Omg omg omg!

"A pleasant morning to you too Ms. Emmalyn, if you don't mind can I call you Emma nalang?" He asked nicely.

Agad akong tumango and smiled widely at him. Ano ba yan oie, yung ngiti ko abot tenga talaga.

"So ikaw pala yung babae kanina?" He asked.

"Po?" Sorry hindi ko siya na gets.

"Yung couple na nagtatalo, you were there earlier fiercely faced the guy and protected the girl. Bababa na sana ako but then I decided I wanna watch how you protect that girl, so I saw all of it." He said.

"Oh, really?" Tumawa ako ng mahina "Yes po, automatic na po yun sa akin. It is my job- to protect." I explained.

He crossed his arms at tumango pa.

"Right right, you were brave back there. I must say, I was really impressed. Tama lang na I hired you. Looks like you will never disappoint me. I know you can protect my son. Its good that I met you first." He said but this time his voice went from soothing to serious especially the part when he mentioned his son.

"You know Emma, even before nung bata pa ako marami ang nagtatangka sa akin, sa ami ng pamilyang Marcos. That's why 24/7 may bodyguards na nakasunod sa akin kahit saan man ako magpunta. Not just me, also to my sisters."

"Well its not new to me anymore, everyday nakakatanggap ako ng ganyan but now that I have my own family, I worry for them especially to my children. Now I know what my father felt that time he must've been scared lalo na ang Mom ko. I need to protect them, as much as I want to be around them 24/7, I can't do it, I'm a busy man." He continued, you can sense his sincerity and his love to his family. In his words ang bigat bigat pakinggan tagos agad sa puso yung ganun?

"After I heard na may nag send ng threats sa mga anak ko, I was scared. I've never been so scared with my life not until now. I love my wife, my mother and my sons. But you'll be focusing on my eldest son Emma, he's an aspring candidate kaya kinakabahan rin ako sa kaniya. Anything could happen you know?"

"Yes sir, I completely understand. And please let me allow to say how I highly respect you and your love to your family po." I said at him, he smiled again.

"Thank you Emma, and yes I do love my family very much, so much that I am willing to offer my life to them. Kung pwede lang sa akin nalang lahat ng threats okay lang, but it seems like they all want us to be out on their sight."

"We are not going to let that happen sir." I said as I am starting to get serious too.

"Good to know, now please Emma... you'll do anything that you can to protect my son? I'll pay you anything you want. Just protect my son? please protect Sandro." May halong takot at kaba yung tinig sa boses ni Mr. Bongbong.
