An Eye of the Cosa Nostra (Tres Patroncitas #1)

CAPITULO 24

HELLIXIR WAGON

A month have passed when we went to Monaco and I met his parents, ilang buwan na rin ang nakalipas nang pumirma ako sa marriage contract simula noon ay maraming nabago sa buhay ko, hindi na ako umuuwi sa aking mansyon sa Wagon village, nakukuha ko na ring ngumiti sa mga employee ko na alam ko kung bakit o sino ang dahilan, Faughn made me happy.

tumingin ako sa aking relo at nakitang mag aalas dose na pala ng hatinggabi ngunit eto ako ngayon, nagugutom kaya napagdesisyunan kong bumaba para maghanap ng makakain, I didn't use the elevator instead, I used the stairs to go down, naglakad pa ako tungo sa kusina at agad na tumingin kung may pwedeng makain, at hindi naman ako nabigo.

May iba't ibang laman ang fridge, may junk foods at sweets, naisipan ko nalang na kumain ng strawberries since healthy ito, kumuha na rin ako ng gatas para may panulak.

Hiniwa ko lang ang strawberries at inalagay sa bowl ang kasabay no'n ay paglagay ng gatas sa baso.

Maglalakad sana ako pabalik sa itaas ng makaamoy ako ng sigarilyo, nang tumingin ako sa labas na pinanggagalingan ng usok ay nakita ko ang isang imaheng nakaupo.

Napag isipan kong lumabas para tignan kung sino ito, laking gulat ko nang makita ko si Fawzi, nakaupo habang naninigarilyo.

"Hey... it's almost midnight, why are you still smoking at night?" Bigkas ko dahilan para mapalundag siya sa gulat.

"Bakit ka naman nanggugulat?!" Hawak hawak niyang ang kaniyang dibdib.

"I didn't mean to." I replied, slightly laughing.

He sat on the floor again and heavily sighed, does he has a problem?

"You have a problem, don't you?" I opened a conversation.

"Maliit lang, no big deal." He replied.

While bringing the bowl of strawberries and a glass of milk I sat down next to him, maybe I'll go to my room later, it's cold outside so I think this is a good way to have peace.

"Ano problema?" I asked, showing no malice.

"Babae."

I chuckled, what am I expecting to this guy?

"Care to share? I can listen." I replied.

He looked at me with widened eyes like he doesn't want to share his problem but he has no choice but to spill.

"Complicated masyado."

My brows furrowed as I stare at his face, Fawzi is a type of a quiet person yet knows how to socialize, he's like an introvert and half extrovert.

"I like this woman." He started, I got strawberry and started chewing it as I listened to his words.

"I was an engineering student in spain, I started my school year having no crush because it will be just a distraction for me, engineering is one of the most challenging course to take so I decided to drown my self in studying." Pagkukwento niya.

We were schoolmates way back in spain, I was a law student while he is an engineering student, sa laki ng unibersidad na iyon ay imposibleng makita ko siya dahil magkalayo ang building namin, I can't even remember if I had seen their department even just for once.

"Lagi pa akong inaasar ng mga kaibigan kong español dahil wala akong inatupag kung hindi pag aaral, I don't do girlfriends, I don't date, I don't hangout with people, my life cycle is just simple, home, school, and studies." Pagtutuloy niya.

Nakikinig lang ako habang kumakain ng strawberries.

"My life is a hell of a boredom way back in spain, pero lahat ng iyon ay nabago sa isang araw lang." He bitterly smiled.
