Chapter 9 Mister Pervert

"Your grandma said that you should eat slowly, little miss. See what happened?" Old grandpa shook his head after commenting that and continued eating after noticing that I finally recovered. Just inhaling and exhaling some deep breaths from my nose and mouth.

"Hehe. I'm so sorry, grandpa. I'm just really hungry." I managed to apologize. I looked sideways and tried to make a gesture using my head signalling him to come back to where he was standing before.

But, to my dismay, he didn't seemed to understand what I was trying to say at him, hence, he even have the guts to sit beside me, in front of the old couple. The heck?

Is he not feeling any discomfort on that? He's half naked in front of a two old couple? I can't even. . Argh! I wanna make a face palm because I am the one feeling ashamed on behalf of him. Shit.

After all of us were done eating, I volunteered to wash the dishes, just to return the favor of them feeding me lunch a while ago. They both agreed and while I am busy doing the soiled dishes, the old couple are watching some noon time show on the television in their receiving area.

"Whatever year it may be, you are still the one to do the household chores especially washing those things." I was partially startled when the guardian angel beside me suddenly spoke. Because of that, he caught my attention.

"How did you know that?" His face remained emotionless and didn't even bother answering me. That's when I remembered what he is actually in my life. "Ohh, yeah, right. You're my guardian angel, that's why." I decided to continue washing but something snapped in my mind. I looked back at him whose gazes never left my face.

"Are you always on my side? You never leave even once? Even though I can't see you back then?" I blabbered and this time, he actually nodded his head. Ohh my god!

Then, what about the times I took a bath and were always naked or changing my clothes? Was he also there around me? Or, does he have the decency to turn around and not look at me whenever I do those things?

I didn't have the courage to voice out those kind of thoughts flowing in my head at him. I just took my anger towards the plates I am still washing. It's just. . it's not really comfortable for me to think that he had already seen my body a million of times, and without me knowing on that matter! That's just downright disrespectful! And, he even didn't have the right to do that in the first place! He's still a freaking man after all!

"What's your problem? Are you ok?" I looked at him sharply and thank goodness, he had guessed that my mood changed drastically so he better keep his mouth shut for the next few minutes if he didn't want me to crash these plates right at his face.

When I was done there, I still didn't talked and looked at him. I decided to join the old couple and sit beside them in their big sofa. Just then, they started to question me things now totally ignoring the still running noon time show kn the television in front of us.

They asked me where exactly do I live. How will I go back in my house, and they even asked if I have some pocket money to spare for the bus fare. I just can't answer them that I also live there, in that exact location where their two huts stand, but the only difference was that, I live there in the present time. Not in that year, though.

I think deeply if what should I do in that particular situation I have right now. And, Hwang In Yeop oppa must have noticed my dilemma so he leaned in closer to me and whispered in my right ear. "Let's just go the place where your parents live in this year." I'm still mad at him but I must admit that I instantly kinda liked his suggestion. Why not, right?

"Ahm, I think I will just go back home." I said and think hardly where was the address of my parents back in this year. Is it in Tondo, or is it in Caloocan? Shocks. I just know that back then, they happened to move from one place to another so it's really hard to remember things like this now.

"But, where do you exactly live, little missy? Maybe I can come with you and get you there. Let's just don't bother my husband because he's always tired from getting coconut from the other side of the forest." Grandma volunteered like that, and suddenly, I became speechless. What should I say to that?

"No, thank you, grandma. But, can you just lend me some money instead? Hehe." I mentioned a thousand peso and both their eyes grew bigger like it will ball out of its sockets anytime now. Maybe, they don't have that big amount of money? Ohh my god. Shame on me.

"Why would you want that kind of amount, little miss? Is your home that far away from here?"

I scratched the back of my head. "Just forget that I said that, grandma. Ahm, how about half a thousand peso, then?" I flashed my sweetest smile and showed my one hand with my five fingers stretched in the air, and they both look at each other after that.

Half an hour later. "Are you mad at me, Savana?" My guardian angel and I are now both walking in the middle of that forest again after I bid goodbye to both grandpa and grandma a while ago, and after they lent me the half a thousand bucks I wanted. I swear, if ever I can go back in this year again, I will really returned that money to them, by hook or by crook.

"No."

"You're mad."

"I said no. Don't be silly, ok?"

"You're mad, Savana."

I felt an imaginary smoke came out from my nostrils because of what he just insisted. Now, I am mad. "Yes, you're right. I am mad. So what, mister pervert?" I even have the audacity to stop and looked up at him with my chin held high.

His forehead immediately creased at that, looked at every part of my face first before finally staring coldly at my eyes. He averted his gaze at me but stared back at me again. I even made myself ready to whatever he's going to answer.
