Life Series 1: Just A Little Time

CHAPTER 4

Tinawagan ko si bakla when  I got home. Home. Yes, Agnus' penthouse. Dito naman talaga siya nakatira kaya dito  rin ako. Not the other means but for work. It'll be my home for  the time being.

[Hello? Napatawag  ka?  Ano meron?] Sagot niya pagkatapos ng isang ring.

"May nakabantay ba kay Agnus noong wala  ako and until now?"

[Oo, bakit? Concern ka na yata a?"] May bahid  ng panunudyong ani nito. Sininghalan ko ito pro tinawanan lang ako ng hudyo.

"Seryoso ako  rito, baka babalik  ako riya't upakan kita."

Narinig kong tumahimik  ito bago bumuntong hininga.  ["Mayroon naman. At hanggang ngayon meron din."]

"Bakit wala akong nakitang nakadikit sakaniya?"

["Nasa tabi-tabi lang sila. Huwag kanng mag-alala."]

"Ilan sila?"

["Sampu."]

Napairap ako. "Give him atleast two  bodyguard who'll be on his side, visible for anyone to secure his safety."

["It  was his request not to  have anyone on his  side."]

"Tell him, it's my order. When I'm not around, he would have them."

["Alright, I'll tell him."]

I pause for a moment. "No, I'll tell him. Just give me the information of his bodyguard."

He sighed. ["It's your men."}

"Even  if it's you, when it comes with safety, this basic measure is  needed. Stop dallying things."

["Alright ma'am. I'll send it to you in a minute."]

"Good." Then  I  ended the call.

I  decided  to scan the whole  area while  waiting for his email. This place didn't change. Except that  my  things which is  now placed properly in his walk-in closet and  he also  have a spare on every  bathroom necessities which is obviously mine. Sino pa bang kasama niya rito kundi ako, unless he took someone in while i was gone.

When I receive his message  that  the  email has  been sent, I positioned myself comfortably infront of  the laptop on the countertop.

And  thankfully, they're really all my men. And they're the  best one so my  worries vanished a little. 

I texted Agmus about the sudden change of his security. I know he would make a fuss about it but I don't care, obviously. But not a second have passed, my phone rings. And the caller ID says Agnus.

By any means, I answered it. "Hello?"

For a moment I just hear maybe his or someone's heavy breathing that made my brows furrowed. Trying to  decipher his background, he's in his car, for sure.

["Why did you do that?"] He finally talk in a  not so soft manner.

"Why? What did  go wrong?"

["I'm not comfotable with it."]

"Oh dude, we shouldn't discuss your uncomfortability when you are in a dangerous situation.  If you just did't  clumsily provoke him, maybe you won't be in this situation right now. So  stop complaining. It's my job even if I'm in MIA for  five months." I said, furiously. I'm sleepy but now here I am explaining and  talking.

He heave a sigh  and didn't talk about a minute and after his 'Alright", he ended the call.

Pagkatapos kong ilapag sa countertop ang cellphone ay ibinalik  ko  naman ang atensyon ko  sa laptop. It's his laptop  that  he barely use, that's what  he said.
