Taste of Hell

The End

The End

Dad left me with a big responsibilities. I have no idea how will I raise my sister and runs the International Security and Protection Services at the same time. My sister and I aren't particularly close, possibly because I'm a boy and she's a girl, and we both have different tastes in everything. At hindi lang iyon ang mga responsibilidad na naiwan sa akin. Because from now on I'll be the only one to decide in this house. Lahat ng desisyon ay dadaan sa akin. Hindi ko alam kung kaya kong gampanan ang pagiging isa magulang at kuya sa nakababatang kapatid ko. But I will do everything in my power to ensure that she won't feel the absence of our parents in our life.

"How's your new school?" I asked her as soon as she arrived home.

Huminto siya at nag-angat sa akin ng tingin. Nasa all girls school siya before pero kinailangan ko siyang ilipat sa school kung saan ako pumapasok. I know it maybe hard for her to adjust.

She nodded politely.

"Ayos lang po. Aakyat na ako." she answered.

Bago siya umakyat ay hindi nakaligtas sa akin ang uniform niyang marumi. Did she get bullied in her first day?

Sa sumunod na araw ay nawala na iyon sa isipan ko lalo na at naging abala ako sa ISPS.

"Just blend in with the crowd to 
avoid making her uncomfortable."
I told the bodyguards I hired from the ISPS to protect Nikka.

Because I can't be with her 24/7. I know she will hate this idea but she needs protection and I'm doing this for her.

"Yes, sir."

Despite the fact that Nikka would always say she was fine when I asked her. Her bodyguards have informed me that she was bullied at school.

"I want you to pull it out these students from this school..." I handed all the students information who bullied my sister.

The school's principal could only nod and obey my commands. I'm one of 
the school's largest stockholders. Hindi ako naglalabas ng pera para sa school para lang mahirapan ang kapatid ko rito. I want her to be able to study 
peacefully in school and make 
friends with other students her age.

I don't know why she's not telling all of this to me and why she's keeping it to herself. I'm her brother and I'm the only family she have. Maybe she's not comfortable enough with me even though for the past years all I ever do is try to get in her good side and let her know that she can always rely on me.

I guess that is not enough. I couldn't say we're not close but I couldn't say either that we're close.

"Kuya! Kuya! Is it really true? Tinawagan ka ba talaga niya?" she looks so excited asking about her idol.

The woman Nikka idolizes is Nevaeh 
Astof. She admires her a lot. Nikka is 
such a fan that she gave her my 
personal phone number so the woman
could hire me as her personal 
bodyguard.

Am I really a joke to my sister?

"Yeah." I answered.

Mas lalo siyang lumapit sa akin na tila nagniningning ang mga mata na nakatitig sa akin, magkasalikop pa ang dalawa niyang kamay.

"And you will accept it right?" she asked hopefully.

"W-What?" parang iba ang kutob ko rito.

"You will accept to be her personal bodyguard right?" paglilinaw niya ngayon. "I mean she really need a tough and the best bodyguard in the country and that is...you." aniya sabay turo sa akin.
