I slowly opened my eyes, only to find out that Iʼm in a secluded room with all white paint on the wall. Bright light welcomed my eyes.
Oh, Iʼm in a hospital? One of the room in a hospital, exactly. None of my own touched my aching shoulder and winced.
I carefully got up from my lying position and sat up neatly on my bed. I was even able to roll my eyes across the room. My beautiful and puffy eyes hit the couch 'cause my parents were sleeping in there.
"M-Mom ... dad." I called in bedroom voice. But they did not awake at one call.I heaved a sigh. "Mom! Dad!" I repeat calling them, with a moderate tone of voice.
Their pillows almost fell over because I suddenly called to them. "Oh, darling! Youʼre awake! Thanks, Lord!" mom exclaimed and walked towards my bed with open arms. "How are you feeling, darling? Huh? Is there anything wrong with you? Tell me," she worriedly asked.
I hugged my mom. “Nothing, mom.” I answered.
Dad then approached me, sat beside my bed. "You made us worried, Alli. If it weren't for our name, we wouldn't be affected. Sorry, daughter." he sincerely apologized.
I smiled sweetly. "Dad, they're just jealous! See, they hurt me because they can't get into you! But that was okay for me, dad. It's not our fault that we have wealth and are better known," I consoled him.
He sighed. "Alli, your sister is gone. We don't want you to be lost to us either," he remembered, inevitably feeling sad.
I let go of my mom's hug and then hug my daddy. "I understand, dad. And I'm so sorry 'cause I'm not careful." I also blamed myself.
Because yesterday, after my class was dismissed, around 7pm, I was walking alone towards my car in the parking space of UPLB because Andi was not there yesterday, she was absent from class because she was sick so she couldn't attend her class.
Halfway through my walk, something fast and hot hit my shoulder and it looked like it was poison because I suddenly lost consciousness! When I woke up, I’m lying already down this hospital bed.
Dad caressed my face and looked at me seriously. "I won't let this thing happen again, Alli." he assured.
My forehead knitted. "What do you mean by your words, dad?" I asked, clueless.
He kissed my forehead. "Let's talk at home tomorrow. What, do you want us to go home now? Can you do it, huh?" he asked, instead.
I winced. "Yes, dad. I don't like the smell here. I feel like --- I am really an ill patient, so not me!" I commented.
Mom chuckled. "You inherit that trait from your father. Man, artist."
That's what happened, after mom and dad paid the hospital bill, we went out of the hospital and drove me back to our home.
"Careful, darling." said dad, while accompanying me on the way to my bedroom.
I chuckled. "Dad, I'm okay. Worry no more, okay? I'm not disabled. So not me, ah." I said.
We arrived at my room just in time. I carefully sat on the bed and smiled at dad.
Dad smiled a bit. "Don't attend in your class tomorrow, Alli."
I pouted as I nodded. "Y-Yes, dad ..."
I know, they are just worry about me and I understand them in that part. It has already been said, my younger sister Aldana Selene is no more and so they are just like this to me. They are this careful because they don't want me to disappear or be ruined either.
So I will follow whatever they want because parentsʼ know best!
"Take a rest."
"Alright, dad."
The day after, I woke up, probably because my body was a little bit tired. It's raining, so it was even better to sleep, right?
I took a shower first and wore black addidas pants and partnered with my white hoodie jacket. Itʼs so cold.
After blowing my hair, I left my room and walked downstairs until I reached the dining area.
"Good morning, mom! Dad!" I greeted my parents, smiling.They smiled back at me and mom instructed me to sit, and I did.
I just put a bread on my plate then our maid poured milk in my transparent glass. "Thanks, yaya!" I said.
In the middle of chewing, my eyes accidentally hit my parents who were staring at me intently. "Why?" I asked after swallowing the bread.
They looked at each other for a moment then back to me. Somethingʼs weird ...
"Mr. Del Rava, sorry Iʼd awakened so late."
Both of their mouths were about to open to utter an answer to my question so only a man's voice prevailed from the stairs!
T-That voice!
I slowly looked at the man who was now gracefully walking closer to our habit, wearing a cold expression! The man with an earring in his left ear!
My eyes almost popped out because of what I could see. Seems like the ones I ate just now want to come back because, I can’t believe what I’m seeing!
T-This canʼt be!
When it got close in front of us he politely nodded shallowly to my parents then his eyes hit me, he grinned!
I looked at my mom and dad with so much confusion. "W-What is he doing here?" I asked as I gulped.
Instead of answering me, my parents looked at the man in front of us with the earring in his left ear, as if to say that he was the one who would introduce himself to me.
I feel that ... it's not a good idea!
It was only then that I noticed wearing it. Black t-shirt and pants. And he just wore a pair of slippers.
D-Did he sleep here? In our house ?!
I came back to myself when the man in front of me cleared his throat.
"W-What is the meaning of this?" none of my own, I questioned.
Just now, I say that. My best friend would feel envy or even hurt! And my shoulder fell the moment he introduced himself.
"Good morning, young lady. I'm Daegon Trevor La Galliene ... your personal bodyguard."
