9 Assassins: When the Coldest Get Warm

Chapter 9: The Start

I saw her on the left wing, lying on the bench while her cap was covering her beautiful face.

Linch: Hey! Wake up!

Hindi man lang natinag sa sigaw ko.-_-

Linch: Hey lady wake up!!!

Hindi pa din. Kaya pasimpleng sinipa ko siya sa paa. Ayon nalaglag ang cap niya at minulat din ang mata. Bumaling siya sa direksyon ko at ramdam na ramdam ko mula sa kinatatayuan ko ang malamig niyang titig. Parang tinulos ako nito sa kinatatayuan ko. Hindi siya death glare gaya ng iba. Simpleng titig lang siya kung titingnan pero pagtumitig ka diretso sa mata niya parang kinakain ka ng buo pati kaluluwa mo. Hindi ako makahinga dahil parang sinasakal niya ko sa titig niya.

Keen: What do you want?

Muntik na ‘kong mapatalon sa gulat ng magsalita siya. Pati salita malamig din. Binawi niya na ang titig niya. 

Linch: A-eh-ah..

Keen: If you have nothing to say. You can leave.

Letse! Bakit ba kasi nauutal ako. I'm not guilty after all. So, I calm myself and try to speak naturally.

Linch: About what you said earlier. How come you became my bodyguard? And who the hell are you? Who the hell hired you? And what are you doing here when supposed to be your guarding me?

Keen: I was being hired. I'm Keen Terro. I don't know who the hell hired me. And i'm here, not guarding you because I know earlier that you'll follow me here.

Napatanga ako. Matalino siya ha. Sinagot lang naman ang tanong ko na in order pa. And ang ganda nga ng boses, may accent talaga. But wait, I need yo focus. 
                
Linch: And how are you so sure that I'll follow you here? Over confident ka naman ata. (Taas baba ng kilay ko.)

Keen: Because I know you have so many questions to answer. By only me.

Aba-aba confident talaga. Nakakaasar na ha. Di man lang ako niyan tinitingnan ha. And parang bored na bored pa.

And who on Earth hired her? Is it Dad? Uurrrghh! Nang iinsulto ba si Dad? I'm old enough to take responsibility of myself. At kukuha na nga lang ng bodyguard babae pa. What the hell!! Anong magagawa nito? I know all women. They are fragile, careless, have a smooth heart kaya madalas naloloko eh. They're useless. Pabigat lang.

Sinipa ko siya ulit kasi tinakpan niya ang mukha niya at akmang babalik sa pagtulog.

Linch: Hey! If si Dad ang nag-hire sayo tell him I don't need a bodyguard. I don't need you. You’re useless and worthless. So you may leave.

Keen POV

Nagpanting ang tenga ko sa sinabi niya. I'm USELESS AND WORTHLESS??? Whatta words! Really? Did he hear himself? I'm getting irritated by now. So I stand up and face him.

Mataas siya. 6 flat  kaya naging magkalevel kami.

Keen: Why bother myself telling him if you can do it yourself.

At nilagpasan ko na siya. He's getting under my skin. Ang yabang.

Natapos ang buong araw na walang kwenta. I'm BORED. Totally bored. Sinundan ko lang naman siya kung sa'n man siya nagsususuot. After ng 7pm class ay dumiretso na siya ng uwi. Still I followed him.

Pumasok siya sa gate and park his car so as mine.

Linch: DAD!!!

Mr. Fuerro: Yes apo?
