The Mafia Boss Inlove With The Gangster Queen

Chapter 37: Dinner

Ng makauwi kami laking tuwa ko ng mahimasmasan si Zeke. Ang tagal naming nag stay sa parking lot bago nakauwi.

Napakamanyak talaga.

And right now, Zeke is cooking for the dinner. Later kuya will join us.

Di ko maiwasang mapaisip kung gaano ako kaswerte na mapanood magluto si Zeke. He's wearing an apron and it looks so good to him. He's so hot.

Why does he look like a professional cook? Like he was trained with this stuff?

Dati he doesn't have time to cook for me. Ako ang naghahabol sa kanya, this kind of situation is just in my imagination.

This guy was a cold and heartless man after all.

"Zeke, how did you learn how to cook?"

"Honey there's so many people who want me dead.. I have learned to survive"- he calmly said habang hinahalo ang gulay. He put seasonings and other kinds of stuff that I don't know kung anong tawag.

"But you're immune to poisons right?"- he laughs

"Right"

Napanguso ako "Sino ba talaga babae sating dalawa?"

"Baby it's my pleasure to serve you, don't worry about it"

Napailing ako.

Masyado nya kong inispoil.

After magluto si Zeke, tumulong na ko magprepare sa table. Para naman may ambag ako.

Napabuntonghininga ako kay Zeke at kuya na nagtatalo sa mata. Di nila ginagalaw ang pagkain. Habang ako gustong-gusto na kumain. Zeke's foods look amazing.

Masamang paghintayin ang pagkain lalo na kung ganto katakam-takam.

Di ko maintindihan ang dalawang to. Di naman sila ganto dati.

"What the hell are you both doing?"- iritadong saad ko. Napaiwas nalang ng tingin si Zeke at pinagsandok ako ng pagkain. "Eat"

"Pwede bang after dinner nyo nalang problemahin yan?"- napailing na lang si kuya at nagsandok ng gulay at nilagyan sa plato ko.

I look at my plate na puno ng pagkain ng ibat'-ibang putahe.

Kakatayin na ba ko?

Di na lang ako nagreklamo at kumain nalang.

Napapikit ako. Not only look appetizing but it is really delicious. Kung ganto ba naman sa pagkain ko araw-araw, maninibago taste buds ko.

Zeke is a great chef.

After we ate ako na naghugas ng mga plato at nadatnan ko sila kuya and zeke sa sala na nag-uusap. Nagtago ako sa gilid ng pader at piniling makinig hehehe.

I can feel the tension building up between them.

"Someone has been following her.."

"I know"

"Bat di mo pa nad-dispose hanggang ngayon? It's been a while"

Parang gusto ko ng umalis sa pagtatago ko at batukan si kuya.

Sa tingin nya ba pagpatay lahat ang kasagutan sa problema nila?

What if isama ko silang dalawa sa simbahan? Baka naman kahit konti mahimasmasan sila. Hays baka naman pare-pareho kaming masunog. Last time we got there, masarap lang naman tulog ni Zeke.

"And a lot of people have been researching infos about her"- ramdam ko ang di pagkagusto ni kuya sa boses nito.

Kahit ako naman.

Sinong matinong tao na gugustuhing binabackground check sya ng mga taong di nya kilala?

"My people are working on that"

"I know how capable you are, but she's safer in the mansion"

Marami ng bumalik sa memorya ko.

I'm not the Agatha I used to be.

I can fight now

Don't expect me to stay at magtago nalang habang buhay. And that mansion, those people are dangerous. Hinding-hindi ko makakalimutan ang nakita ko sa mansyon na yun.

But Zeke is different, kahit alam kong marami na syang napatay. I can feel safety kapag kasama sya.

The only persons I trust were Zeke and kuya, no one else.

"I don't want that tragedy to happen again"- malamig na saad ni kuya aiden.

Tragedy, huh?

Is that tragedy the reason why I lost my memories?

Di ko maiwasang umalis sa pagtatago ko at mangialam.

Zeke is not in the mood.

Bakit pakiramdam ko sa kanya nabubuntong ni kuya ang sisi?

"Kuya it wasn't Zeke's fault"

I know how much Zeke protecting me behind my back. I'm not a chick that needs to be protected by its hen.

Zeke is always checking the CCTV and all the alarms. Even at midnight, nahuhuli ko siyang nakatutok sa laptop nya and doing some kinds of stuff. I can even hear him talking to his men. It's all about me.

Even if lumalabas kami, bigla nalang siya mawawala, di ko maiwasan sundan sya because of my curiosity, and I saw him beating those people na nakasunod samin.

"And what happened before, won't happen twice" - Huminga ako ng malalim.

"I will never let my back down again.. I promise"- napayukom ako ng kamao na tinignan si kuya. I am determined not to come back to that mansion, even if it means living here together with Zeke.

Hinawakan ko ang kamay ni zeke, but his expression never changes. It's still dark.

"Zeke"- tumingin sya sakin ng tawagin ko ang pangalan nya "You know it's not your fault, right?"- di sya sumagot at nanatiling tahimik.

Para syang kinain ng sarili nyang mundo.

He's looking but not listening.

Nagsisimula na kong maasar. Bakit ba pilit nila sinisisi ang sarili nila sa hindi naman nila kasalanan?

"DO YOU BOTH UNDERSTAND ME?"- di ko maiwasang magtaas na ng boses na ikinatingin nilang dalawa sakin.

I appreciate them, but I don't need to be protected. Ayokong nag-aaway sila ng dahil sakin.

At isa pa "I want to live with Zeke, kuya"

Masarap sya magluto!

Nanlaki ang mata ni kuya at napatawa ng tila may naalala. Napakamot sya sa batok nya "That's exactly what you've said before"- naiiling na sambit nito.

"Nothing can change your mind, I am right?"

"You know me well kuya"- napabuntong hininga sya at lumapit sakin. He holds my hand softly na tila isa akong babasaging bagay.

"You know how important you are to me, right?"- tumango ako

"And you will not listen if I will say stay out of dangerous stuff.."

Napasimangot ako "don't pout, ampanget mo"- inirapan ko si kuya "tsk magkamukha tayo"

"But really, you're a stubborn younger sister!"- marahan nyang hinalikan ang kamay ko "Stop making me worried, or else itatali kita sakin"

"Kuya I'm not a baby!"
