Cronus and Phenny: The Mafia Lord and His Orphan Wife (Completed)

25. Safe

Cronus POV

  "Maghanda na kayo ng tanghalian". Narinig kong utos ni Manang Tacing na nagpakilos sa mga maids. Nilingon pa ako ng babaeng nagpapakulo ng dugo ko sabay ngiti ng matamis sa akin.

  "What a brazen woman.... This will be fun". Troy laughed like a maniac. Alam na nya kung ano ang pwedeng mangyari mamaya. He always does.

  I left him and run upstairs. I am longing to see my princess. Sabi nga nung maid na yun ay tulog lang daw ng tulog si Phenny. Naisip ko naman na baka namaga na sya kakatulog. I smirked because of that thought. Hindi bale, I like plum cute girls anyway. Siguro magiging mas cute sya pag round na ang shape ng mukha nya like a small cute ball although I like her heart shape face but she's a bit thin.

  I opened the door and gasp at the scene in front of me. Naalala ko bigla yung favorite kong ibon nung bata pa ako, yung pilay ang pakpak. It look so helpless then it died. As I looked at my princess a tear fell in my eyes. She look so tired and helpless. She's very thin halos kita ko na ang collar bone nya. She's wearing her old clothes that look so baggy. She look like a rag but a very beautiful one.

  "What happened to you my princess?". Napa tanong ako sa sarili ko. Ayokong isipin ang paghihirap nya sa ilang araw na pagkawala ko to the point na umabot sya sa ganitong state.

  I hold her hand but she flinched. Napaka dami nyang sugat sa kamay and seeing those breaks my heart even more.

  "What did they do to you?". As I brushed her natural ginger red hair.

  I left her in my house with the thought that she will be safe here. That my house is the safest place on earth. But I guess I was wrong. She wasn't safe, she was harmed.

  "Who did this to you?".

  Don't worry I will make them pay whoever they are. I will make sure they will see hell on earth my princess.

   I watched her sleep for about two hours. Hindi ko inihihiwalay ang mga mata ko. Kasi baka pag pumikit ako bigla na lang nya akong iwan. Just like the bird my Mom gave me. It died.

   Two calculated knocks on the door after that it swung open.

  "Sir Cronus it's time for lunch". Manang Tacing said softly. Napa singhap sya ng makita ang poor state ng prinsesa ko habang natutulog.

  I didn't even gave her a glance. I was afraid to take my eyes away from Phenny.

  "I can't even touch her hands, its full of wounds". I said without looking at my old Nanny.

   "She'll be fine Sir Cronus, she's a tough girl". Narinig kong sabi nya.

  Tumango ako. Yes she is a tough girl. I tried to convince myself. Huminga ako ng malalim before I wake her up.

  "Princess.... Wake up it's time for lunch". I saw her move a little as she grunts.

  "Princess... Please wake up". I brushed my index finger to her arm ayokong matamaan ang mga sugat sa kamay nya. My heart ache just seeing those wounds. She slowly open her eyes and flashed a sweet innocent smile. That smile belongs to me... Only for me.

  "Sir Cronus?".

  Her long lashes waves as she blinks. Itinaas ko ang index ko and wave it to her face.

  "Cronus!". A happy and excited smile beam on her face. Napa upo sya sa kama at niyakap ako. I was surprised but happy. Sobrang na miss ko talaga ang prinsesa ko.

  "Anong oras ka dumating bakit hindi mo agad ako ginising". Bungad na tanong nya na nag pangiti sa akin.

  "Kanina pa... Gigisingin sana kita kaya lang tulog na tulog ka. Napagod ka ba?.... And bakit ang daming sugat ng kamay mo?". Mahinahon kong tanong.

  "Hi Manang nandito na rin po pala kayo, kamusta po ang anak nyo?". Masayang bati ni Phenny nang mapansin si Manang Tacing na nakatayo sa may pintuan ng kwarto. Did she ignored my question?.

  "Okay na sila Miss Phenny". At gumanti naman ng matamis na ngiti si Manang Tacing.  "Ang sarap ng tulog mo kanina ah". Dugtong nito bigla.

  "Ah opo katatapos ko lang po kasi maglaba kaya siguro napa sarap ang tulog ko". She honestly said. Tapos tumingin sa akin. "At ito po, sa sabon to ang tapang kasi ng sabon na gamit nyo dito hindi ako hiyang". Habang pinagmamasdan nya ang mga sugat sa kamay.

  "Phenny... Sino ang nag utos sayo na maglaba?". Pigil ang galit kong nagtanong sa kanya.

  "Si Breena po". Buong ka inosentehan naman nyang sagot.

  "Bakit?".

  Nakita ko ang pagtataka sa mukha nya nung nagtanong ako. May mali ba sa sinabi ko?.

  "Sabi nyo daw po".

  "What?!".

  "Ang sabi po kasi ni Bree.... Ay Ma'am Breena pala... Sya daw po ang kapalit ni Manang Tacing kaya dapat sundin namin yung utos nya at tsaka po...."

  Naputol bigla ang sasabihin nya habang nakatingin sa akin. May lungkot na gumuhit sa mga mata nya. Naalarma ako.

  "What?".

  "Sabi po nya boyfriend ka po daw nya at pakakasalan mo po sya kasi nanggaling ka daw po dun sa kwarto nya at nagkakaintindihan na kayo.. Cronus.... Jowa mo na ba si Ma'am Breena?".

  I almost fell off the bed when I heard what my princess just said.

  I will definitely kill that bitch!!!
