She would always visit the orphan school whenever she feels like. Feeling energetic, she walks inside. She took an apple from a fruit basket.
"Hey, Junna!" she calls out her bestie.
"Angelina?" Junna peeked from the kitchen. She smiles brightly, running for a hug. "What makes you come, huh?" Junna hugs her tightly. Angelina patted Junnas back to get some breath. "oh, oops, sorry!" Junna shrugged giggling.
"just liking to visit for a bit." with that been said, she took a bite of the dark red apple. "where the kids at?" Junna moves her head to the other exit door of the park. Angelina nods, heading to the kids.
"It's Angieee!" The kids ran over to her happily, one by another starting to hug her tightly.
"I miss you so much! Miss you, miss you, miss you!" the last girl kept repeating the same words over and over again. Angelina smiled at the little girl.
"oh, me too! But come on! We haven't seen each other for only two days, Anna." Anna pouted but still smiled. She loves her so much that she would wish she was her real sister. Lowkey Angelina does see her as one.
"You should come everyday, not only on Fridays." said Anna, followed by the nods from the kids.
"I will try to do that." Angelina told them with her happy face. After playing with them for an hour it was time for their dinner. Now, Angelina and Junna were sitting with their coffees in the tiny library room for the kids.
"they will soon finish the food and you will read their favorite story. Is there anything you wanna say?" Junna took a sip from her cup of coffee.
"not really. As always, I'm with you whenever you need me." Junna smiled caressing Angelina's thighs.
"I will, and thank you, " Junna smiled again at her. "and you know it is my favorite job to do. I'm grateful for being your friend and I'm so happy you always come to visit, helping me out." Angelina was touched by her words.
"me too, Junna, me too." she whispered enough for her dearly friend to hear.
"story time!" The kids shouts with much excitement, running to the library to hear their favorite story after being done with their foods.

"hey, you back. How was your day with the kids?" The old granny who cannot live without Angelina asked.
"awesome, granny. It was a good day as always." she replied, taking her shoes off.
"that's good to hear. Come, let's eat before the food gets cold." she nodded towards her granny, followed behind her.
"... Uhm, has he replied yet?" Angelina started speaking after finishing her plate of food.
"unfortunately, still no." sighed her grandmother, putting the spoon down. "but, believe me, he still cares about you. I really understand your feelings now, I understand that you really wanted to have a father by your side-"
"no! I already have you and that's enough for me. It is enough, I promise." Angelina stood up, walking to her granny's side giving her a light hug. "it's true that he still cares for us, but that does not mean he could stop coming and see us."
"can't you just accept his request and then everything will be alright." said her grandmother, looking at her beautiful eyes, that reminded her of her daughter. "beautiful." her granny whispered, making Angie giggle.
"well, I got it from you." granny chuckled at her words. "and no, I don't want to accept his stupid thing. Because I know that I don't need it. And you know it, too, that I hate it." with that she broke the long hug and before doing the dishes she kissed her granny's forehead. Laying on the fluffy bed in her room, she sighs out loud. Why dad? Why are you making this harder for me and so for you. Just accept the thing which I don't wanna accept yours. I don't need it. I really don't need it...

"wake up, Angie. Angieee, wake up. Hurry." being woken up by her grandmother who her face was full of worries and petrified. Angie sat properly with her one eyes closed. "He is here, and wants to talk to you urgently. He told me he doesn't have much time. " hearing that, she jumped out of the bed, running down the small stairs to be meeting with him in the living room.
"dad!" without hesitation she hugged him tightly, her head on his chest. "Why did you stop visiting us for a long while?! Do you know how much I missed you and made me worried?!" couldn't hold the tears back, they broke and flowed through her cheek one by one. She realized he is important to her, after all, he is her father.
"I'm sorry, Angie. But, we have to talk serenity and I need you to obey me." Angelina was feeling awfully uneasy about this. 'What happened to make him this serious? Is it about that thing, again?'
Angelina
Granny Lenda made us warm coffee and now I was sitting face to face with my father. Who has been ignoring me for half a month now.
" I'm listening to you." I spoke first after he took his cup of dark coffee from the tray Granny was holding. He inhaled before speaking whatever he wanted to say.
"you know very well how important my job is and how my work and team work needs me. Right, Angie?" I didn't say anything and made him go on with his words. "since I'm an important agent, many outsiders wanted me to be gone. This is getting more serious and out of hand." I spoke faster before he could say any words again. Same talk, same argument.
"stop! Don't you get there! I told you, I don't don't need a-" being the protective father and how tempered he is. He stood up, dropping the cup of coffee that now crashed on the floor.
"you will be found and killed! They could use you for threatening me! Understand, Angelina! You are in the hands of a dangerous life!" not knowing what to say anymore, I was with so many lost words in my head. Yes, I'm scared. Scared whoever they are to find this house and take my grandmother away." please.. " my father begged." I swear on my soul that I really want what's the best for you. I swear, Angie. Please, don't disagree." father came down to my level, his palm on my thighs. Staring in my eyes.
"but, I really wanted a normal life, dad... " I said softly, not wanting to crack my tone.
"who said you won't have a normal life? He will just stand by your side, not moving, not saying a thing, not even going to disturb you at what you are doing or not doing. He is just a saver, Angie. You need to have a bodyguard by your side."
See? I don't want someone to watch over me. Knowing he will grant me his life by protecting me. I don't want it, I don't even need it. What's the use of it when no one knows who I'm yet? That's true my father's job is dangerous for his family. He has many evil enemies who hated him for putting their people in prison or killed them. And they could kill us for revenge. Especially me. Since I'm his only left family. I just have to agree. I had bodyguards before but they never made it to the job. They told my father that they didn't want to work as my bodyguard because I made them leave. Every one of them got tired of me. And let's just see how the next one ends.
