"KAY GANDANG UMAGA WORLD!" matinis na boses na pagkakasabi ni Fiacre na siyang rinig sa buong kwarto. Napabalikwas naman ako mula sa pagkakahiga sa gulat.
Morning already? But feeling ko hindi pa eh. "Fuck." nabulaslas ko na lang. Wala pa akong tulog. Masyado akong nabagabag sa mga text messages ng kumag na Axel na iyon. Why can't he just introduce his self properly? Para naman hindi ako napapraning kaso wala na akong magagawa. May pasok ngayon at kahit alam kong puyat ako at gusto ko lang matulog, kailangan ko pa rin mag-ayos.
"Ito namang babaeg 'to! Umagang umaga mura kaagad lumalabas sa bibig." pagtataray ni Fiacre. Siya nga itong iritable kapag umaga eh. Tignan niyo sobrang sensitive kapag kagigising pa lang. Samantalang ilang taon na kami magkasama at hindi na kakaibang bagay kapag nagmura ako.
"Guys, hurry." rinig ko namang tawag ni Rennei mula sa labas. Isa pang iritable. Rennei doesn't like people who were used on being late. Kaya kahit a woman with a few words siya, hindi niya naiiwasan ang magsalita or magparinig kapag naiinip na siya.
Napatango naman ang maingay na babae nasa harapan ko. Umalis din siya kaagad bitbit ang bag niya. Nang tignan ko ang oras, may time pa naman para mag-ayos ako. Papatayo pa lang ako nang tumunog ang cellphone ko.
When I opened the message, I found out that it is from Sphinx. He is uncle's trusted agent. Pinaiwan siya dito sa Pilipinas para gabayan at bantayan ako habang hindi pa bumabalik sina kuya. At dahil nga tinanggap ko na nang lubusan ang pagiging mafia leader, nadagdagan ang mga guards, at responsibilities ko. Tanging itong tatlong kasama ko ang lang ang nakakaalam nito. I didn't inform the heads. Brother announced that he will choose wisely among the candidates para sa magiging fiance ko and he blurted out about having another mafia leader. Pero hindi niya sinabi na ako iyon.
Meaning, kung may mga parties na dapat puntahan ko as a representative of our family, I am required to use a mask to cover my identity and to protect myself. And since I became a ruler now, my orders are to be executed as soon as possible to avoid any severe punishment. My orders will be laws inside the circle of the group.
Back to the text message, Sphinx is asking me to come to the main house to observe and judge the graduated trainees from our security center. He said it is a must for me to come and to supervise this crucial matter. Mafia may be advantageous when it comes to earning money and power but if you don't guard your followers well, each one of you will fall.
Tumayo na ako at pumunta sa bungaran ng pintuan. Prenteng nakatayo ang tatlo at mukhang hinihintay ako. "Girls, tell the teacher that I'm not feeling well. I need to go to the main headquarters." I told them.
"It seems like, this will be your first duty. Well then, good luck. Don't worry, we can handle that thing about prof." Dereen assured me and she kindly patted my shoulders. I just look at them and see them off. Pumasok na rin ako kaagad sa silid namin at nag-ayos na.
Dereen is right. I will be showing myself today as Alexandria Cromello, the heiress. I need to show a fierce and strong image for them not to belittle me. They are used on Xander's supervision and so I should do my best to gain their loyalty and respect.
When I finished showering, I wore a black backless cross-over crop top and a ripped mid rise skinny jeans , curled my hair and I put some make up on. Pagkatapos ng mga ritwal ko ay sinigurado ko na wala akong nakalimutan na ilagay sa bag. Nang ma-assure ko na okay na ang lahat, lumabas na ako at nilock ang pintuan ng kwarto.
Dadaan na lang ako sa eastern gate ng Mhorfell. Abandonado na ang gate na iyon for years dahil napag-isipan ng faculty na mas maayos kapag iisa na lang ang main entrance and exit ng academy. Gayunpaman, ito rin ang madalas na daan na ginagamit ng mga nagcucutting classes. Dahil nga walang nagbabantay dito. Doon nakaparada ang Moto Guzzi California 1400 ko kaya mas mabuti na ang doon dumaan kaysa umikot pa.
