The Pressure

"ELLAH?" His chest throbbed hard. "Is that you?"

The young man slowly opened his eyes and the vision became clearer.

The woman in the driver's seat was crying while holding one of his hands.

His eyes widened and he could not even move.

He cannot imagine that he would see the boss!

"I'm sorry Gian! I'm really sorry!"

Then, he seemed to come to his senses and quickly pushed her away.

"Gian please, forgive me," Ellah cried as she came near.

"No!" He curled up on the side of the window.

"Gian please."

"No! Stay away from me lady!" He quickly called his friend.

"Bro, come here now at the bar, come now!" He dropped the cellphone after turning it off.

"Gian, I didn't mean what I did ..."

"Did you hear everything?"

The woman nodded.

"Fucker ...Ah!" he shouted and closed his eyes in embarrassment.

This is an extreme humiliation!

He called the friend again.

"Where are you?"

"Here outside."

"Wait, I'm coming," he opened the door.

"I'll help you." Ellah quickly went down supporting him.

"No!" He slapped her hand. Gian walked towards his friend's car with his feet crossed.

"Gian you can't!"

"Get lost! I do not need you. Get out of my sight! "

The young man's eyes glazed over as he shouted at the woman, she got back in the car and left the place.

---

Ellah cried while driving back. She even came for him, but he's just shouted at her!

" Bastard! How can he shouts like that I'm not his maid! "

Yes, he confessed in front of him, but it wasn't about love, but the pain he felt.

She was the cause of his pain!

"But even so, he still shouldn't treat me like that, I'm the boss, but I'm the one following his order! "

What he did to her is even more painful!

The young man was already in the car when Vince opened the door.

"Holy frog!" Vince was so shocked. "Where are you from? You're not in the bar?"

"Take me home, bro."

Gian felt that he was getting really cold and his lips were trembling.

Vince rested his palms on his neck.

"Father! You have a very high fever!" Vince takes off his jacket and sees his bruises.

"Who hit you?"

"I'll explain later I want to go home."

"No, we're going to the hospital!"

"Don't! I can handle this, I can do ..."

"Gian, brother! "

The young man's vision darkened before he collapsed.

He woke up with a bandage on his head and other parts of his body.

He suddenly raised from the bed and instantly felt the body pain.

"Where am I?"

"In heaven bro, with me."

"Stupid!"

Vince laughed. "Are you okay? I took you to the hospital because you had a fever, tell me who did that?"

"I think I'm hungry, man."

"All right, wait a minute and I'll prepare food. It's really hard not to have a girlfriend. I'm the one who took care of you. "

"All right, lots of complaints."

"Yes!"

He ate fast because he was very hungry.

"You're done eating? Maybe, you can tell me now?"

"I want to go to the bathroom, bro."

"Fucker! "

The young man laughed.

Vince still supports him to the bathroom.

When he finished, he lay down again and Vince sat down next to him.

"Spill it," Vince demanded.

The nurse entered.

"Excuse me sir, you're awake, I'll check on you for a while" said the nurse.

Vince scratched his head knowing how eager he was to know about the incident.

"Well, your vital signs are okay again sir, maybe tomorrow you can be discharged."

"All right thank you," he replied.

When the nurse came out, Vince talked again.

"It's good that you can go out tomorrow, go ahead and tell your story."

"It's like that ..."

"How do you feel, are you still dizzy?" the doctor suddenly came and asked.

Vince's face could no longer be painted.

"Not anymore doc."

"Good" He instructed him what to do after the discharge.

"All right, thank you."

When the doctor left, his friend was bored.

"Later, your mother will come here, then your father! "

" What? The ones you're talking about are dead!"

Vince scratched his head. ”Bro, won't you let the office know? "

" No need, I'm alive. "

" How can you let them know if you're dead? "

He pulled out a sigh.

"I encountered the son of congressman Dela vega bro."

"What? Father of all people, why did you choose him? Don't you know them? "

" Their family, but not the son. "

" Wait a minute, why did you meet that man?"

He recounted what happened.

" I thought it was just a fight but there were guns. ”

“ Whoa! Is it because of that woman? "

"I can't bear to see her hurt. "

"Heck! That's love bro! "

" That's my job as his bodyguard. "

" It's a good thing you survived. What are we going to do? Just tell me to get revenge. "

" Don't worry, I think they will be quiet."

"The election is near, the congressman will definitely ignore what happened, so they will be quiet. "

" They will be, such a critical situation."

Vince had a point he should let them know, but he was afraid if their head found out he would be removed on his job.

What about Ellah?

" Thank you so much for always being there, I can always count on you. "

" Bro, don't be like that. All right, when you die, I'll replace your position as well as your job. Who knows I'm destined for Ellah. "

" Do you think I'll agree? "He madly replied.

They laughed.

" Wow! He was alive then, he's already angry. "

" Crazy! "

He was surprised when his friend suddenly hugged him tight.

" Bro, I hope next time you take care of yourself too, even if it's our job protecting others please, protect your self. "

He patted his shoulder.

" Thank you bro, thank you for worrying. "

His cellphone rang.

Vince let go of the hug.

He looked at his friend and said," Bro, don Jaime is calling."

He loud-speak the cellphone because of Vince's command.

"Good morning sir."

"Yes Gian, where are you? Can you work for my granddaughter now? She has an important meeting, can you?"

The young man could not speak.

"Gian are you still there?"

"Sir? Ah, I'm sorry sir, my body hurts a bit."

"Body? Why are you having trouble driving?"

"Ah, it's not like that don Jaime, my head hurts."

"Mr. Villareal are you making excuses now? Just tell me if you want to be replaced!"

Vince and Gian looked at each other.

Vince angrily snatched the phone.

"Hey! That's mine!" He tried to grab it but, he walked away and talked.

“Don Jaime, this is Vince, Gian's friend, he is in the hospital now because of the shooting incident happened yesterday, if you don't know, it's because of your granddaughter. My friend almost died you don't know! "

Gian was thankful for what Vince did, but he was disgusted.

"Why did you say that? You don't know what you're talking about, bro! "

" I'm sorry bro, but I can't bear to see you leave the hospital today just because of don Jaime's order. "

"You shouldn't interfere! "

" You know what? You're right, the one who will kill you is don Jaime's granddaughter! "

Vince shouted angrily. The young man fell silent.

Vince also realized in a few moments.

" I just don't want you to abuse your condition, you're not well yet. "

He took a deep breath and slowly lay down. Vince supports him to position himself properly.

"I just don't want don Jaime to think I'm neglecting his granddaughter."

"Neglected? Eh, she's still alive when you're about to die! He can't blame you, when I'll hear him humiliating you he'll come out of here in a wheelchair!"

"He's already in a wheelchair."

"Right stretcher!"

"You're pure nonsense, I don't want him to know because the old man's condition will definitely gets worse. Now because of what you said I'm sure Ellah is being investigated."

Vince was silent.

Unconsciously Gian touches his head and notice something.

"Bro my hat?" he was looking on him.

"Hat? You're not wearing anything."

He was suddenly panic.

"Fucker! Bro go back to the bar now and I'll definitely left it there."

"Why? How important is that thing to you? "

"Ellah gave it, the only thing she gave to me!"

What now, do ask again! Wait, why did she gave it to you?"

"Nothing."

"Wow! You have a secret now? Tell me first why she gave it to you and I'll find it."

"Vince!"

"Your birthday is still far Gian, including valentines so why did she give it?"

Gian took a deep breath.

"She gave it to me to cover my face."

"What? And why?"

"She didn't want a lot of people looking at me."

"Your boss is different, Why? Is she afraid that others will see your handsome face, so she covered it? Does she want to be the only one to see that face? Will she be able to stop others from admiring your handsomeness? You're really handsome. "

" But, she can't see that. "

" That's why she covered you up! "

" I don't know, bro, find my hat now, and hurry up or it'll be gone forever! "

" Yes! It's just a hat eh! "

The friend left scratching his head.

He laughed as he watched.

Then he started thinking about his lady boss.

---

" Gian is in the hospital now, don't you know? "

Ellah's eyes widened.

"Where's hospital, I'm going!"

" Do you know why he's there? "

Ellah did not respond.

" Don't try to lie, it's a good thing his friend told me because I'm sure Gian will cover up what happened so tell me why your bodyguard is in the hospital? "

There is no other way but to tell the truth.

"Grandpa, I'm sorry if I upset you. I don't want you to know about this but I'm already burdened, grandpa, I don't think I can handle it alone. "

She burst into tears and told what really happened.

" It's my fault! "

" It's my fault grandpa, I'm the one who has it. I was late for more than half an hour so he got really angry, he dragged me against the wall. "

" Where's that animal? Alex! Alex!"

The assistant quickly came. "Don Jaime?"

"I want to talk to congressman Dela vega!"
