My Bodyguard Knows My Secret
• 27 Chapter 27 •
Crews! Open, Alvaro began to slowly open the iron door and found me curled up in the corner of this dark, empty room. Our eyes met each other, Alvaro immediately ran up to me and hugged me so tightly.
"How does he know if I'm here?! What if Dad finds out?! Alvaro is in danger, he has to get out of here!" - I muttered
My tears started to flow, I was grateful that Alvaro had come looking for me. But on the other hand, Alvaro would be in danger if he tried to save me. Alvaro let go of his embrace and checked my condition, of course he saw the injured part of my back. The look on Alvaro's face was irritated, he clenched his hands together with anger that controlled him.
"Alvaro, I'm fine. Go before you come back" - I said
"No, you think I'll leave you here alone?! No way, what kind of bodyguard am I to leave his master here alone?! Come on, we gotta get out of here!" - Take Alvaro
She crouched behind me, she hinted me to go up on her back. But I hesitated and refused his invitation, Alvaro asked me to run away together, but I still refused his invitation.
"Don't be afraid, Lyra! You're with me, I'll protect you no matter what happens because I'm your bodyguard! Until when will you continue like this?! Do you put up with all your father's treatment of you?! Come, Lyra! We go!" - Take Alvaro
With a feeling of uneasiness, I stood up and climbed onto his back. Alvaro held me in his arms and immediately ran to take me out of the room that was a silent witness to my suffering, asking me to hold him tighter and close my eyes. I did so, my heart was racing and a feeling of uneasiness haunted me. I can't calm down, I'm afraid something will happen before we can get out of this building.
"Don't open my eyes until I tell you to open them!" - Alvaro said
Yes, I kept my eyes closed. The sound of several adult men shouting told us to stop, and the sound of footsteps of people running. My feeling grew increasingly uneasy, I did not dare to open both my eyes.
"Lyra, it's not your eyes for a moment and wear this!" - Alvaro said
I opened my eyes, one of Alvaro's hands holding a headset and thrusting it backwards. I grabbed it, a music started to sound from the headset I was wearing. The song was soothing and played in a rather loud voice, but the situation around me was not very soothing. Plenty of blood filled the hallway, I closed my eyes again and tried to ignore what was going on. I heard nothing but the soothing, loud sound of a song.

"Lyra, wakeup! Lyra!" - Shouted Someone
I opened my eyes, I sat down and confronted Alvaro. I look around this place where I am, a house that is foreign to me? Where am I at? Where did the bodyguards chasing us go? Are they still chasing us? I again felt a sense of uneasiness, I couldn't calm down! I grabbed my hair because I was dizzy, I was tired!
"Lyra, relax! Now you are in my house, now you are safe" - Alvaro
Alvaro tried to calm me down, hugged me and gently stroked my hair. Her warm embrace calmed me down, I really like to be treated like this when my mood is bad. But my mind again reminded me of a terrible figure, whom I referred to as my father. I think I should run away from him, I hope my choice is right.
"You know, I panicked when you were unconscious. Are you asleep or unconscious? Huh, but thank goodness you've come to your senses. You can take a shower first, then we treat your bruise. Don't let your wounds stand" Alvaro said
"Lyra, your nature hasn't changed, has it? You're always being stubborn, acting like you're okay. But please just this time, let me treat your wounds" - Clever Alvaro
"I have no wounds, only most are on my back" - I said
"really? But what about your wounds that are here? Look at you, you can't possibly let the wound in your heart" Alvaro said
For the next time, I was silent. Heart injury! It seems like my heart has been broken so it can't be treated anymore, how the glass has broken. Do I need liver medicine? Huh, it doesn't seem like. The proof is that I am still physically fit, heart injuries do not affect my physical health. Alvaro asked me to go to a psychiatrist, I refused because I'm not crazy! I'm still healthy, look at me!
"You're lying, Lyra. Your mental state is sick, your mental state is disturbed. Not only a healthy body, your mentality must also be healthy" Alvaro said
Your mind is sick? Mental, pain? Heart injury! L'm... I don't know and I don't care! The fear and anxiety that often haunts me.
It's all because of dad! Because dad!!
I wanted to clean myself up, Alvaro immediately gave me a change of clothes and showed me the bathroom scare. I walked over there and I stepped in, taking off all the clothes I was in contact with and also the bandages wrapped around my hands.
I silently contemplated under the shower, the water constantly drenching my entire body. It flashed through my mind about the moment where my father hurt me, I have no memory other than that bad memory.
An accident made me forget my memories, I forgot everything. After I came to my senses from my coma after the accident, my father welcomed my presence and loved me as a child.
"I miss those good times, I want to be embraced and loved" - I murmured
But the pleasant atmosphere certainly does not last long, the father who often returned home from work in a state of drunkenness makes the good times destroyed instantly. I who wanted to welcome the return of my father from exhausting work, I was immediately hit with a glass bottle that my father brought at that time until the bottle broke into my body. My head immediately flowed fresh blood, I instantly fainted unconscious. When I came to my senses, my father apologized to me.
"With my father's face filled with guilt, I forgave my father. But father repeated the same mistake in a few days, I regret having forgiven him" - I murmured
• ^Flashback On 'Back •
Once, one night, my father came home from work drunk, seen from him carrying an empty bottle that has a strong alcoholic aroma. The bottle he immediately threw in any direction, I who was reading a book in the room was afraid, I immediately ran towards my room.
"Lyra, don't run! Come here!" - Shouted Dad
Argh, shit! I sped up my pace before Dad could catch up to me, I managed to get into the room and lock the door.
