"Are you okay? We already investigate what happened. The Santoses are really desperate to harm Fervor family. Pinatulog pa ang guard sa villa kaya nakapasok." Harvie said and give him water.
Si Harvie na mismo ang nagpainom sa kanya.
"Pinatibayan na namin ang security. May iba ng nakabantay kay Czaven pero hindi nagpapakita." Tres said.
"Where's Czaven?" Paos na tanong niya.
Nagkatinginan ang pinsan niya saka sumagot.
"She's with More. Nagpumilit na mag-aasikaso ng bills." Sagot ni Homer.
"What? Tell her to come here and leave the bill alone." He wanted to hissed pero alam niyang kikirot ang sugat niya.
Bumukas ang pinto and speaking of, Czaven entered with More. Agad na nalukot ang mukha niya.
"I contacted my Dad about your case. He's sorry and he offered to shoulder the bills kaya inasikaso ko. Sinabihan ko ma rin na si More ang magbabantay---"
"What? No! I can still do it---"
"Mas mabuting magpahinga ka muna, Heaven." Putol ni Homer sa kanya.
"This is just a shot. Hindi naman kritical," giit niya at nagpumilit na umupo, "hindi nga masakit---aray!" He winced in pain when he force to stood up, his wound hurt.
Agad na inalalayan siya ng pinsan. Worry filled Czaven's eyes pero hindi ito humakbang palapit para tulungan siya. Nanatili lang itong nasa tabi ni More.
"Homer is right. Kailangan mong magpahinga, and you can't do your job right lalo na kung may sugat ka!" Giit ni Czaven.
"Don't worry, Benjamin. I can protect Czaven." More said. It was monotone but for him parang narinig niya ang pang-aasar nito!
Mas lalo lang nag-init ang kanyang ulo.
"I don't want to left my business undone---"
"Sabi ng tagapagmana na palaging absent sa kompanya." Pagpaparinig ni Harvie.
He sighed and glared at his brother.
"Kaya ko nga. Nabaril lang ako, isang beses lang at hindi ko naman ikamamatay 'to. At ano, hahayaan niyo na isang Sebastian ang magbabantay kay Czaven?" Inis na pahayag niya, hindi na tinago ang matinding inis kay More.
"What's wrong with if More gonna take over your job? He save you and Czaven earlier---"
"I save Czaven," mariing sabi niya. "What do you think I got shot, huh? Because I shield myself for her safety! Kaya kong mamatay maprotektahan lang siya." He hissed angrily ignoring the pain on the back of his shoulder.
"And I'm not looking for a bodyguard that's ready to die. Kargo de konsensya ko na 'yon." Kontra ni Czaven.
He sighed heavily. Galit siyang nakatitig sa kawalan. They just don't get what he want!
Pero ito naman ang gusto mo, Heazen, 'di ba? Ang maglayo kayo ni Czaven? So, why are you acting like a brat now?
"Fine." Pagsuko niya.
His cousins sigh in relief. Mukhang may alam ang mga 'to, ah! Did Czaven told them what happened between them? Siguro, kasi ma-trace 'yon kapag tinanong si Czaven kung anong ginagawa nila sa labas ng gate ng mansion niya.
"Pero sinong mag-aalaga sa 'kin?" Pagdadrama niya.
He acted like in pain making his cousins went panic. Napapikit kunwari siya sa sakit pero idinilat ang isang mata para matingnan ang dalagang nakatingin lang sa kanya.
