THE BODYGUARD

chapter 2: The plan

Jes's POV

Walking down the stairs after meeting Bible, I head to the kitchen and check if the breakfast is prepared.

"Aunty, is breakfast ready?" I call the cooking lady.

"Ah, yes. You're Jes, right? Sir Bible's bodyguard. I'm already informed about it. My name is Seema." The middle aged lady says with a smile.

"Yes. Nice to meet you." I greet her with a nod.

"About your previous question, yes, breakfast is ready. Do you want to eat?" She queries.

"No, not for me." I already had my breakfast before leaving my house, "sir Bible will get down in a while."

"Oh! Him? That boy don't usually eat breakfast." She replies with a sigh.

"Why?" I question confused.

"No one knows. I have a hinch that maybe because of his father. Previously they used to eat together and head master would scold or shout at sir Bible all the time for one thing or another. After a while, sir Bible stopped attending breakfast table. I guess it's because head master scolds him so he didn't come after that." She explains her version which might as well be very true.

"Okay," I say and continue, "arrange a plate of whatever is cooked for breakfast today and a glass of orange juice. Thank you."

She looks at me confused but shrugs and goes to make a plate. A minute later, she hands me a glass of orange juice and a plate filled with breakfast. I take it from her while uttering a thank you and head to dining table as I set them down. Walking back to the living room, I wait for Bible.

My mind wanders as I think about how to put my plan in actions. Is Bible really the right person to use in order to revenge his father? Because it seems like they already have a bad relationship between them. But again I have no other option and he's the only choice. I have to bring his father down and expose all his illegal businesses. To outside world, Bible's father is a great businessman and runs an import export business but I know all the illegal events he does. And he killed my parents who were police and were trying to catch him. I can't let him roam free when he not only involved in illegal actions but also killed my parents. They were just serving justice. What crime did they commite to die in hands of person like Bible's father?

This is why I willingly joined to work as a bodyguard to Bible, by using him I'll avenge his father.

I was a child when I lost my parents and my grandma brought me up. As a child I didn't know about the incident but when I grew up, my grandma accidentally blured out how my parents were killed. After college, I joined in military voluntarily to gain strength and to learn about weapons, to know how to use them so that when I plan my revenge I'll be in a place where I can fight against them. I gained enough experience and left military not just for my grandma but to put my plan in actions. And that's when this opportunity knocked my doorbell.

My friend, Job, who works for Bible's father company came to me saying he can provide me a job as I just left military and have no job in hand. I felt that was a great opportunity. It was like the fruit landed in my hands even before I tried for it. Job doesn't know anything and his help was friendly. I agreed to him and my military experience helped me. It was a plus point and they recruited me immediately thinking I can protect Bible well with my experience.

Protection, I don't but revenge I will.

This might be low of me to think to use Bible for my plan but I have no other choice either. And regardless, Bible is still the part of the family.

Pitter patter of steps stops me from my thoughts and I look up to find Bible walking down the stairs slowly. He looks fresh and clean after his bathe. Previously, when I saw him upstairs, he was still in his night clothes and looked moody, like a grumpy cat but now he looks good. He was good back then too, I'm not going to complain about his looks either way.
