A Knight Perhaps

Chapter 32: Change of Plans

KYRINE

"Finally, we're here."

Napalingon ako kay Jackson dahil sa sinabi nya matapos huminto ng sinasakyan naming kotse sa harap ng isang medyo malaking bahay.

Nginitian pa nya ako bago sya bumaba at pinagbuksan ako ng pinto. Kaagad rin naman syang nagtungo sa compartment para ilabas doon yung mga bagahe namin at sumunod nalang ako.

"I've been thinking so long if I should ask you this, Sir Jack. But are you both married?" rinig kong tanong nong isa sa mga body guards na pinadala nina Tito Jaren at mommy para bantayan kami dito sa Washington.

Lumabas rin sya sa sasakyan para tumulong sa pagbababa ng mga bagahe namin habang yung isa namang body guard na nakaupo sa passenger seat kanina, tahimik lang na nagmamasid sa paligid.

"Married?" nakita ko kung paano napangiti si Jackson dahil doon at talagang sinulyapan pa ako bago nya sagutin yung tanong ni Kuya Fernand, yung body guard. Napailing nalang ako. "Sadly, we're not. Soon enough perhaps."

"I see." sabi nalang ni Kuya Fernand at isinarado na ulit yung compartment pagkatapos. "We're leaving now, ma'am, sir. Do you need anything else before we go?"

"Leaving?" kaagad na napakunot ang noo ko. "I thought you guys will guard us around?"

"We are, Ma'am Kyrine. Sir Jaren gave us orders to put CCTVs around and outside your house that are connected to our head quarters so we can watch you 24/7. But don't worry, we didn't put CCTVs inside for your privacy."

"I'm glad you didn't." pilyong side comment naman ni Jackson na ikinairap ko nalang. I heard him chuckled because of that.

"We will also be your drivers for the mean time, ma'am, sir. In every place you want to visit, we need to be there as well to secure your safeties. That is another order from Sir Jaren. I hope that's fine."

"Y-yeah, sure." sagot ko nalang din.

"Here's our calling IDs. If you need anything, don't hesitate to contact us. Our temporary quarters are just right next to your house so we are one call away. No need to worry." sabi naman nong isa sabay abot ng calling card samin ni Jackson. Kaagad din naman naming tinanggap yon.

"Stay safe, Sir Jack and Ma'am Kyrine. Everything can be uncertain nowadays."

Tumango nalang kami ni Jackson sa kanila bilang sagot. Sobrang seryoso ng mga mukha nila. Halatang sanay at sineseryoso talaga ang mga trabaho. Idagdag nyo pang napakaintimidating rin. Anak ng tupa!

"Thanks, man." ngiting sagot nalang ni Jackson kay Kuya Fernand at nakipagkamay pa dito. After that, umalis narin naman kaagad sila. Naiwan kami ni Jackson sa harap ng bahay nya.

"Let's go, magandang dilag?"

"Gegege." drained na sagot ko at sinimulan nalang ring hilahin yung maleta ko papasok.
