After that incident, my father hired ten bodyguards for me. I didn't reject it since I knew how devastated and scared they was after what my fellow schoolmates had done to me. Though, in my own perspective, I wouldn't want any bodyguards following me.

I pursed my lips as I checked new and handsome wristwatches online. I am planning to buy a wristwatch for Simour. It serves as my gratitude towards him for saving me.

I had always been rude to him ever since. I never liked him even once. So I want to make it up to him. Most specifically... be friends with him; and his group, of course.

I sighed. "Argh! I can't find any that will suit him well!" Napatampal ako sa noo.

I had no idea that simply choosing a damn wristwatch takes a whole brainstorming.

"Mas mahirap pa pala 'to sa quiz," bulong ko.

A knock interrupted me. "Honey? Are you there?" I heard my Dad shouted from behind my room's door.

I smiled softly. Ever since that the incident occurred, my parents had been guarding me. Naiintindihan ko naman sila. Kaya hindi ako nagrereklamo.

"Yes, Daddy! I am here!" sagot ko.

I heard his huge sigh. "Oh, okay. I got worried. So, uhm... sige, aalis na ako."

I smiled. "Uhm... wait, Daddy!"

Agad akong tumakbo palapit sa pinto. I opened the door and smiled wide as I saw my handsome Dad with his tousled hair.

Agad akong yumakap sa bewang niya. He hugged me back.

"Daddy, I got a problem," sumbong ko.

He raised his brows at me. I could see worries on his eyes. "What is it?! Tell me, hon. Come on."

I smiled. "I am having trouble choosing a better wristwatch for those three men who helped me. And since ikaw naman ang pinakamagaling pumili ng watch sa atin, please do choose for me."

He sighed in relief. Napahawak siya sa dibdib niya. "Akala ko kung ano na."

Tumawa ako. "Si Daddy talaga, paranoid masyado. Nasa bilangguan na sila kaya hindi na nila ako mababalikan. Please don't worry too much about me, 'kay? I'll be alright. This time, I'll choose friends who are better."

He nodded. "Okay. Sige. Where's that watches? Are we going to the mall?"

Umiling ako. "Nope. Sa online shop na lang tayo bumili, Dad. Nakakapagod na lumabas. Tsaka ayoko na mag-worry na naman kayo sa akin."

Tumango siya. "Mabuti. Alright. Where's your laptop?"

Tinuro ko ang kama ko kung nasaan ang laptop ko. "There!"

Inakbayan niya ako saka hinalikan sa ulo. "Alright, let's choose a better wristwatch for those four men. But I am warning you, hon. Just don't enter in a relationship if you would only choose those men—well, it's not like I don't trust them. It's just... they're still men, you know. Wala pa rin akong tiwala sa kanila. Siguro ano lang... slight?"

I chuckled. "I understand, Dad. Just like what I told you, this time, I'd be better in choosing friends. Or kung maaari hindi na lang ako makikipagkaibigan o kaya sumama sa mga kaklase ko sa kung saan-saan. And please, Dad, I am not going to enter a relationship! God!"
