FORD'S POV

Agad kong pinaandar ang sasakyan ng makitang nakapasok na si Rose sa kanilang bahay. Fuck! I want to spend more time with Rose. Kaso kailangan ko pang ihatid si Reichi.

"Where do you live?" I asked her.

"Sa quezon city. Can I move there?" Tanong niya na ang tinutukoy ay kung maaari ba siyang lumipat sa passenger's seat. "Para madali kong maturo sa'yo yung house namin."

Hindi ko siya sinagot ngunit inihinto ko ang sasakyan. Senyales na lumipat na siya. Mukhang nakuha naman niya ang nais kong iparating. Lumipat siya sa passenger's seat.

"Thank you, Ford! Ang bait mo talaga! Thank you my protector!" Hinging pasasalamat niya.

Ipinagpatuloy ko na lang ang pagmamaneho. But she kept on talking.

"Ford, I'm really sorry for disturbing you and Rose. I know it's your date and I ruin it."

Tss.

"Hey Ford, bakit hindi mo ko kinakausap?"

Tss.

"Ford, are you m-mad at me? I'm really sorry okay? Don't worry this will be the last time I'll see you." She said while crying. I can hear her sob. "I'll forget that you are my.. my p-protector."

Tss. "Reichi, it's fine."

I don't want to talk to her but I have to. Para lang matigil siya sa pag iyak. It's annoying. Psh.

"Fine as in what?" Tanong niya.

I exhale. "Just don't mind what happened today 'cause I still made Rose happy."

"Ahhh..."

Tumagal ang katahimikan. I feel relax. I hate it when Reichi keeps on saying nonsense. Now, she's busy with her phone.

"That means, you're still my protector?" Biglang tanong niya.

Tss. I sighed. "Yeah."

"Oh, thanks Ford. You know what? I wanna give you a big hug for being so nice to me."

Tss. Big hug? That's bullshit. "No need."

Ilang saglit din ang lumipas bago muling nagsalita si Reichi. "Turn right. Yeah. That's it. Stop!" Tinuturo niya yung direksyon ng kanilang bahay.

Then I stopped the car.

"We're here. Thanks for the ride my protector. Bye!" Akmang bababa na siya ng may lumabas mula sa gate ng kanilang bahay. Isang babae at isang lalaki. Nasa mga mid 50's.

"Oh, Ford! My mom and dad! It's too late na kasi. Mukhang pagagalitan ako." Nababahalang sabi niya. "Err.."

Lumabas na ng kotse si Reichi. I want to go. Gusto ko ng paandarin ang kotse but I don't want to be rude so I ended up staying. I saw her making body language saying that I go outside the car.

Shit! Lumabas ako ng kotse at bumungad sa akin ang mga magulang ni Reichi.

"So iho, ikaw ang boyfriend nitong napakaganda naming anak?" Nakangiting tanong ng mom niya.

Fuck?! Boyfriend?

"Yes, mom." Sagot ni Reichi na ikinasimangot ko saka siya lumapit sa akin at ini-angkla ang kamay sa akin braso. "He's Ford mom and dad. I'm sorry for infomality. Kakasagot ko lang po kasi sa kanya."
