The Mafia's Slave Part 1 & 2

ACELYN

"A-Are you going back to the military?" Aurora asked Ace habang nasa kwarto ito at nagpupusod ng buhok. Napaaga ang uwi nito mula America dahil gusto niyang surpresahin ang pamilya niya. Kagagaling lang daw din ni Aurora sa bahay ni Gretel kaya hindi na niya ito nasalubong sa pag-uwi niya.

"5 years of service lang naman ang gusto ni Mommy, then I'll join the biggest Security Provider here in the Philippines. Remember the agency who provided the lady butlers of Kuya Hansel?" Ace told her. Aurora pressed her lips tightly before closing the door in Ace's room. 

"M-May hihingin sana akong pabor sayo..." 

Ace faces Aurora at napansin naman agad nito na mukhang malaki ang problema nito. She offered her a seat at tumabi dito before holding her hand. 

"Ace, parehas kami ni Ate Gretel na ipinagkasundo... This time si Lola Grandma naman yung may pakana." Aurora cried on her arms.

Their Ate Gretel is already married for three years pero hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa niya namimeet ang asawa niya. Though her responsibilities was lessen dahil si Austin na ang nagpapatakbo ng McNeils, si Ylona sa hospital pero si Gretel pa rin ang may hawak ng Primera.

"Sshhh, what do you want me to do then?" 

Nag-angat ng tingin si Aurora at bahagyang nagpunas ng luha. 

"I've been meeting him for these past few months but I am so afraid of him. He's so intimidating at ayaw na ayaw niya sa maarte, I was born maarte. Natural na sakin ang pagiging maarte." 

"You like him?"

"Heck no! I am so against this! Please help me! You are my last resort!" Umiiyak na sambit nito.

"Then why not just tell him you don't want to continue the marriage---"

"Are you hearing yourself? Ace! Pangalan natin ang nakasalalay dito! Pangalan ni Lola, I wanted him to back out voluntarily but I can't confront him kasi nga natatakot ako sa kanya!" 

"How can I help you then?" 

"Please! Ikaw na ang makipagkita sa kanya and do everything you could para magback out siya! Forte mo naman ang mang-inis diba?" Aurora was hopeful. Kumunot ang noo ni Ace at pinakatitigan ng maigi ang kakambal. 

"Are you asking me because you know I would do everything for you?" Naniningkit ang mga matang tanong nito kay Aurora. Napahagulgol si Aurora sa narinig at mas lalong yumakap sa kambal. 

"H-Hindi naman sa ganun. I am just desperate to escape this!"

"Pero makakahalata siya, we have different fashion taste, the way we carry ourselves and I am tanner now." Ace brushed her sister's hair para pakalmahin ito. 

"H-He won't notice. Hindi naman kami madalas magkita. Halos tatlong beses pa lang kaming lumalabas." Aurora sniffed. "He's a very stiff and rude, please Ace, help me please?"
