Chapter 48

"He will be your security guard," sabi ni Czar. "Robert."

"Okay." I answered nonchalantly and closed the magazine I was reading.

I stood and started walking out of the house.

"Halika na, mayroon pang naghihintay sa akin na trabaho," sabi ko.

"Sky, you won't use your car for now," I heard mama's voice. She was in the staircase standing.

"Bakit ma?"

"May dalang sasakyan si Robert. Doon ka muna Sky."

"So he is my driver at the same time?" Liningon ko si Robert. Halatang baguhan. Maybe he is in his 20's pa.

"Yes," sabi ni Czar.

"Nakakasakal," I muttered.

"Huwag nang matigas ang ulo. This is for your sake, Sky," mama said.

"Yeah. yeah." Sagot ko.

I was about to open the door when Robert opened it for me first.

"You don't have to open it for me. Kaya ko naman." Agad akong pumasok sa sasakyan.

Umikot siya sa driver's seat. He started the engine.

Isang oras ang nakalipas at nandoon na kami sa kompanya.

Someone being around me makes me uncomfortable.

I endured it, though.

When will he fucking leave me alone?!

Hinayaan ko lang siya at siya naman ay nakatayo lang malapit sa pinto.

Geez! I can't take this anymore.

"Robert?" I stared at him.

"Yes po, Miss Skylar?"

"Why don't you have a seat?"

He smiled nervously. "Okay lang po ako dito."

Ibinalik ko ang tingin ko sa mga papers na ginagawa ko.

"Kanina ka pa nandyan. Hindi ka ba pagod?" Tanong ko.

"Okay lang po ako, miss," sagot niya.

"Alam mo ba? Hindi mo naman ako kailangang bantayan nang 24/7. Pwede kang mag-chill sa labas," I said coldly.

"Hindi po kasi pwede."

Napatingin ulit ako sa kanya. "Hindi pwede? Bakit naman?"

"Iyon po ang utos sa akin na huwag po kayong iwan," sabi ni Robert.

Napatango ako. "Okay. I commend you for doing your job diligently."

"Salamat po, miss Skylar."

Wala na siguro akong magagawa. I let him do what he is supposed to do.

Though this feels uncomfortable. For the past days ganito ang palaging nangyayari. Although, as Krypton said, they are taking shifts.

"Hindi ka po ba pagod sa kakatayo dyan, manong?" Tanong ko sa bodyguard for today kong si Manong Domingo.

"Okay lang po ako," sagot niya sa akin.

"But, you are standing their for half a day. Hindi po ba kayo nyan susumpungin nang atritis niyo?"

Si Mang Domingo kasi iyung medyo may edad kong bodyguard.

"Maya-maya naman po ay nandito na iyung papalit sa akin," sabi niya.

And guess he was right! Maya-maya ay dumating ang bodyguard na papalit sa kanya. May biglang kumatok sa kwarto

"Mang Domingo, mamahinga ka na muna," sabi nung bagong lalake.
