"HINDI ka naniniwala na nagsisisi ako nang inaway kita?" Lovi gasped as Roch gently asked. Palaisipan sa kanya ang mga nangyayari kahit itong pagiging bodyguard ni Roch.

She could sense that he was a member of a certain security agency. Iyong may mga undercover missions, those kind of people.

Dahil sa nangyari na ito ay nagiging misteryoso sa kanya ang pagkatao ng binata. Who was he by the way?

Ano ang full name nito? Mga tanong na gusto niyang masagot noong nalaman niyang gusto niya ang binata, ngayon ay nag-ko-curios na siya dahil naging bodyguard na niya ito.

"I don't want you to leave. Pero naisip kong masyado na kitang pinapatagal sa isla..."

"Nakuha mo na ang gusto mo."

"Hindi sex, Lovi! Kung iyon lang ang gusto ko sa'yo, noong gabing dinala kita sa isla, sana kinuha ko na iyon sa'yo. I respected you...naputol ang pasensiya ko kasi akala ko pareho tayo nang nararamdaman sa oras na iyon. Hear me, Lovi, in my entire life, I am not fond of opening my feelings to anyone. Sa'yo ko lang ito sasabihin. I didn't fuck you that night, that morning, I was making love to you...not for fifty million. Just you beneath me, in my arms, in my kisses..."

Nanatili ang tingin niya sa kalsada. Nasa passenger's seat siya, nadadama ang panunubig ng mata. Oh God! Her heart couldn't stop from beating faster! "I was shocked when you said we shouldn't cut communications because fo real, I don't know how to treat a girl romantically. Hindi rin naman ako santo, I fucked girls at oo gago ako. After sex, I couldn't take responsibility of them because I only wanted pleasure. In your case, I am too pressured. You're too innocent. You're too fragile. You know how to seduce me just by standing there, looking at me like I am the perfection of a man you wanted."

"I thought I am just a fifty million. Hindi ko matanggap..."

"Damn that fifty million. Sinong may paki doon?"

"I am not the kind of woman that is for pleasure only. Malalapitan mo dahil gusto mo ng sex. Hindi ako 'yon. Kaya nasaktan ako nang...napagtanto na hindi ka nga pala tipo ng lalaki na nagse-seryoso ng babae. Nakikita lang kita, hindi mo na kaya maging boyfriend ng kung sino. You're too much to look at."

"What if I'll strive hard to be that boyfriend-material man? What if I want this serious with you? What if I want you to be mine for real?"

"What if only..."

Tumahimik si Roch. Umangat ang sulok ng labi nito. "Nandito ako, Lovi bilang bodyguard mo. You said we shouldn't cut communications. Here I am, has find a way to be with you."

Yeah, she was touched by that. Halos hindi talaga siya makapaniwala. "How did you know that my father is hiring a bodyguard for me?"

"Investigation?"

"Can I trust that?"

"Yeah. Pinapa-imbestigahan kita pagkatapos mong umalis sa isla ko. I don't want to spend every seconds thinking kung anong na ang nangyari sa'yo."

"Uh-hmm.."

"So your father's agency is somewhat popular and they are hiring an eligible bodyguard. Sobrang taas nga ng standards pero nakapasa pa rin ako."

Ang hangin!

"Ang bilis mong makakalap ng impormasyon, huh," bahagya siyang napangiti dahil doon. Huminto pa sila dahil sa stop sign ng traffic lights.

"So you believe me now that I am serious?"

"You're good at letting girls fall with your words. Ganoon din yata si Marina..."

Humalakhak ito pero nang magkatinginan sila ay kunot ang noo Roch. "Nasa kay Marina ka pa rin?"

"Basta! Hindi ko gusto ang selos na nasa mga mata niya! Kung nakakamatay ang titig, matagal na akong patay..."

"She's just a friend."

"Breaking news, Roch, ganyan na lang palagi rason ng mga lalaki. Walang bago..."

"Totoo," he reached for her hand, pinisil-pisil iyon. "A friend from my teenage years. Nagkakilala kami dahil kay Vincent. Hindi ko sana ito sasabihin pero dahil seryoso ako sa'yo, I want to be transparent. Alam mong pumatay ako ng tao, criminal ones. Vince owns a society that has that vision. Ganoon ang buhay ko. I'm dangerous. Marami na rin akong napatay..." kumurap si Lovi. Binitawan siya ni Roch dahil berde na ang ilaw.

"I don't know if you still accept me despite of that. Pumapatay ako kapag utos ni Vincent. He was my savior fourteen years ago," naging mahina ang boses nito. She was all ears listening to him.

Masaya siya dahil makikilala na niya ito na tila ba may humaplos sa puso niya. "My parents wanted to be killed by this certain politician. Nabangga ang sinasakyan naming kotse noon. Little did we know, group of men followed us. Nag-aagaw buhay ang mga magulang ko nang sinunog nila ang sasakyan namin. Nakatakbo ako. Si Vicent ang nagligtas sa akin nang muntikan na akong mabaril."

"Is this certain politician in jail now?" tumiim ang bagang ni Roch.

"No. I still can't gather other strong evidences. At hindi mo paipapakulong ang mga politiko, Lov. Iyan ang pinakamapait, hindi mo sila maipapakulong kapag wala kang ebidensiya, because these evidences are hidden, maybe because of money or power. At kung may evidences ka man, gagawa at gagawa sila nang paraan mapapawalang-bisa lang iyon."

"I'm so sorry," her heart broke. "Kung may maitutulong lang ako..."

"That's why I work for Vincent. Kung hindi nadadaan sa batas ang hustisya, sa paraan na gusto namin iyon makakamit. Pasensiya na kung...maririnig mo ang ganitong klase ng usapin. This is me, Lovi, I'll kill criminals who can't be put to jail. Criminals who are proven guilty. We only sympathize to those who are innocent."

Tumango si Lovi, sumulyap kay Roch. May ngiti sa kanya dahil naiintindihan niya naman ito. Justice system in the country sucked so much. "Totally fine with me, pero hayaan mo sana akong sabihin na hindi talaga tama ang pumatay. Pero kung iyan ang naging buhay mo, I respect that."

Namayani ang katahimikan pagkatapos. "I don't know how you did this to me. I never felt guilty before...for killing them. Hindi ko iyon naramdaman kasi naiisip ko ang pagkawala ng mga magulang ko."

Tumitig siya kay Roch. She was breaking for him. Mahirap walang mga magulang. Mahirap lumaki kapag walang masasandalan. She understood his anger. She didn't have the right to judge him. Hindi niya alam ang sakit at pighati...

"I don't want to change myself, but I'll try," humawak ito ulit sa kamay niya, nagmamaneho ang isang kamay. Lovi caressed the back of his hand.

"I'm still shocked right now, but all I could say that I am here."

"That would be okay. That would be enough. Just stay with me..."

Ngumiti siya nang bahagya. Ganito pala ang pakiramdam na kasama ang lalaking nagpapatibok ng puso mo. And he opened his past to you like you were so special to him.
