Thank you!)

Nakaupo sa isang mamahaling couch ang isang maedad na lalaki.

He's wearing a branded maroon polo-shirt, black slacks and black Italian shoes.

Makikita pa rin dito ang bakas ng kakisigan sa kabila ng kanyang edad.

He is drinking an expensive rum that he bought from his business trip in Rome– savoring it's bitter flavor that really suits his taste.

Few minutes later, his butler enter his study room with a silent thud.

Seryoso ito at tuwid na tuwid ang paglalakad papunta sa kanyang study table.

Nakasuot ito ng kadalasang sinusuot na uniform ng mga butler, naka-man bun din ito at may manipis na balbas. Nasa kanang bahagi ng uniform nito ang isang golden pin.

Pin, that symbolizes who's family he's serving. A symbol of loyalty.

"How is everything, Sigmund?"

Yumuko muna ito bago nagsalita.

"Everything is fine, Master. But she's still hiding."

Uminom sya ulit ang rum at napahinga ng malalim matapos marinig ang sinabi nito.

He's been expecting that.

"Of course, she is. After a long time, she's still the hardheaded girl I know, am I right? What do you think, Sigmund?"

Seryoso at malamig na saad ng Master.

Halatang may lahing banyaga ito dahil sa pamamaraan ng pagsasalita nito.

He's accent was thick and slang.

Marahang tumango ang butler.

"From your perspective, Sigmund... how long she will hide from me? From us?"

Inangat ng butler ang kanyang ulo, hindi nya inaasahang tatanungin sya ng Master, kaya nag-alangan itong sumagot. Halata sa boses nito ang lungkot.

"Honestly, I don't know, Master. She's tough and she's sticking on her own decisions."

The old man just smirk.

"Is that really, Sigmund?"

Sigmund nod lightly, he can't just blurt out some words. He doesn't want to go against his Master, because of his opinion.

He's Master maybe silent and good, but can do worst when mad and provoked.

"Yes, Master... she's smart and can take care of herself, very well."

The Master, didn't answer and drink his rum again.

"Yes, she's really tough, fierce, smart... just like her... but vulnerable, fragile."

Mapait itong napangiti ng may maalala.

"If that what she wants, then so be it. We will let her play for awhile. But! Don't let your eyes off her, Sigmund. You, understand?"

He bowed his head as a sign of a promise to the task.

"Yes, Master."

And then he leave.
