"You're an Exosphere?!"

"Yes I am."

"You've got to be kidding me..."

Tumawa ito. "I'm really, an Exosphere. You're facing the real deal."

"Woah! Then, it's my pleasure to meet you, Your Highness." sabi ko bago mag-bow.

"Don't bow, and don't call me Your Highness. I'm not worthy of that treatment. And the pleasure is mine, Rierie."

"Rierie?"

"Yes. Your name is too long that's why I should just call you Rierie."

"But my nickname is Andy..."

"Well, Rierie is your nickname for me. Is it alright if I call you that?"

"Oh. Alright, alright. Then, should I call you Lili?"

"Sure, sure! No problem."

"So, I'll be going now Lili. Don't you ever escape again if you're alone, 'cause you might get hurt if you do. Take care and may GOD BLESS you, always. Bye!"

Nagmamadaling naglakad ako palayo dito. Masaya akong malaman na may mabubuting kalooban nga ang mga Exosphere, ang mga Royalties pero ipinangako ko rin sa sarili ko na hindi ako makikihalubilo sa kanila dahil ayokong mapalapit sa isang taong mas mataas sa akin. Ayokong maging isang dahilan upang layuan siya dahil mahirap ako, na magkaiba kaming dalawa dahil mayaman siya. I'm glad to know her but I guess this will be the last time I'm going to see her. I might keep my distance to her. I treat her as a good friend but still I need to stay away from her.

"Wait, Rierie!"

Lumingon naman ako dito. "Yes?"

"Do you want to be my Guardian? Because I want you to."

Nagulat ako sa sinabi nito. Ni hindi nga ako nag-aaral eh tapos ako pa yung pipiliin niya para maging Guardian? How come?

"I don't need a smart Guardian, although I know that you are. I need a Guardian who can protect me in terms of trouble or danger and I can see it to you. I need someone like you, a trusted friend. You are worthy to be my Guardian. So, can you? Please.."

I really to want be her Guardian but I can't. I have to stay away from Lili because were not the same, totally not the same. "I want to Lili, but I'm not that skilled. I may be good at martial arts and handling weapon but I can see myself as your Guardian. I don't know what Special Gift is but I'm certain that I don't have that too."

"I'm sure you have one. You just have to explore your ability. You can see it yourself, just open up your eyes."

"I don't know. But all I can say is, I have to reject your offer. I would love to protect a friend but I just can't afford to take the risk. I'm sorry Liliene."

"I understand but I will not give up. I will sent you a letter. Please, just please accept it this time. I really want you to be my Guardian and this time I can't accept no for an answer."

Tumalikod na ito sa akin at naglakad papunta sa gate.

"But Lili!" Muling pagtutol ko pero tuluyan na itong nakapasok sa gate at nawala sa paningin ko. Hay naman!

Ano ng gagawin ko?!

Tsk, bahala na nga!
