May kumatok sa pintuan ng cottage ko habang naghahanda ako para sa activities ko ngayong araw.

I will done nothing if magmumukmok lang ako rito at magsu-sulk dahil lang kay Odyssey. Mas mabuti pang i-enjoy ko na lang ang Coron.

This is one of the best island destination so I'm going to make this vacation worthwhile.

"Bakit ngayon ka lang?" I crossed my arms in front of my chest as I glared at him.

Nakataas ang kilay ko sa mukhang bumungad sa akin sa may pintuan.

"Ma'am, naman. Kayo naman kasi ang nang-iwan sa akin." Napakamot siya sa batok.

May bahagyang pang-aakusa sa boses niya. My brows raised more.

"Eh, ang bagal mo eh." Sabay alis ko sa harap niya.

Hinayaan kong nakabukas ang pinto para makapasok si Bonnie. He's my personal bodyguard, courtesy of my father.

He's too caught up with my security na gusto niyang may nakabuntot sa akin. Halos sampung taon na si Bonnie na nagbabantay sa akin. He was with me since my past security resigned and had his own family. Mula nang mag-sampung taong gulang ako ay may bodyguard na ako.

"Ma'am, naman, parati na lang ako ang sinisisi niyo. Kung hindi po ninyo ako winala eh di sana sabay tayong pumunta rito."

"Tigilan mo ako, Bonnie." Irap ko ulit sa kanya. "Bilisan mo riyan, samahan mo ako sa ibang activities dito sa isla."

"Ma'am, 'di pa ako kumakain."

"Oh eh, ano ngayon?"

Napanguso si Bonnie and I gritted my teeth at his puppy look.

"You're gross!"

Ipinagpatuloy lang niya ang ganoong ekspresyon at lalo lang akong nairita.

OMG! Dumagdag pa si Bonnie sa inis ko kay Odyssey.

Pinandilatan ko siya. "Ang demanding mo! Tara na nga, kumain ka muna!" Padaskol kong saad sabay simangot sa kanya.

"Salamat, Maam." He grinned.

I just rolled my eyes at him. Nangingiti namang sumunod sa akin si Bonnie. Aba, nakapang summer outfit. Prepared yata siya ngayon.

I remembered that time when I was in Hawaii and he have been wearing his formal suit because he thought I was going to attend an event. He was so uncomfortable back then. Until now, it still made me laugh so hard.

Bonnie Dimatulac is a bulky man. He was trained in jujitsu, taekwando and skilled in target shooting. He was one of the best trainee of our company kung kaya't siya ang in-assign na personal bodyguard sa akin ni Daddy.

It's been an ancient argument between my Dad and I regarding my  security. I am stubborn and I don't want anyone watching my moves. Ayaw ko rin ng may bumubuntot sa akin. That's why madalas kong takasan si Bonnie. Though sometimes I am being kicked by my conscience. It's his job. And I know my father would blame him everytime he wasn't able to follow me. Kung kaya't minsan ay tinatamad akong pahirapan si Bonnie at hinahayaan na lang siyang gawin ang trabaho niya.

As if my Dad would back down. He would never listen to me and I don't, too, so we never settled anything at all. Nagmana lang naman ako ng stubbornness sa kanya.

"Dito, Ma'am! Masarap siguro ang seafoods dito." Bahagyang tumigil siya sa isang cozy and homey restaurant.

My brows shot up. "May pambayad ka? Ba't 'di ka na lang mag- carinderia?"
