Mafia Boss 1: Saved By Him

29: Ithalia

Nagising ako dahil sa sikat ng araw na tumatama sa mata ko. Umaga na pala.

I slept comfortably in this room na sabi ni Zaki ay kwarto ko talaga. Mama, Dada forgive me for not telling you about this.

Hindi nila alam na ganito pala ang ginagalawan ko. I was trained to fight by the mafia boss which happen to be my bestfriend.

Tsk. Bestfriend.

Napatawa nalang ako ng mahina dahil sa naisip ko dati na boyfriend ko siya. But he acts like one isn't he?

Nagtungo na ako sa banyo para maligo at mag-ayos. I need to go back to Grimes and explain.

Hindi ko naman na pinroblema ang susuotin ko dahil merong mga damit dito sa loob ng kwarto na sabi ulit ni Zaki ay sa akin lahat. And naniniwala ako doon.

I went out of the room at sakto naman na may nakita akong babae na nasa baba. I didn't go downstairs para hindi ako makaistorbo sa pinag-uusapan nila ni Zaki.

I was just watching them from here.

"I am jealous," said the woman na nakatalikod, she has red colored hair, hindi gaanong katangakaran at maputi.

"I don't care." Zaki.

"Hindi mo ako magawang magustuhan dahil sa kanya?" What?

"It's none of your business. Pwede ba? I told you I don't like you okay? Alin ba ang hindi mo maintindihan doon?" Zaki na nagpipigil ng galit.

It's my first time hearing him like that. Naiinis siya sa kausap niya. Anyway, who's that girl he's talking to?

"Ang sama mo." The woman started to cry.

Damn. What's happening?

"Ibabalik na kita sa bahay mo."

"I hate you," and she ran away.

Bigla namang napatingin sa direksyon ko si Zaki, too late, hindi na ako nakatago. Argh, I just eavesdropped!

Ngumiti ako ng pilit, he just nodded. I went downstairs.

He cleared his throat before speaking "How's your sleep?"

"Ah, great! Feels like home," he nodded again and smiled.

"Let's have breakfast and let me drive you to Grimes'." Tumango ako. Kahit na gusto kong itanong 'yung nakita ko kanina ay pinili ko nalang na manahimik.

I am his best friend and I need to know what just happened awhile ago and who was that girl and why were they arguing.

"Tsk. Just eat Veni," napatingin ako sa kanya, maybe napansin niya na iniisip ko iyon.

Nagmamaneho na siya habang ako ay tulala pa rin. Sobrang tahimik sa loob ng sasakyan.

I cleared my throat.

"Who is she? Girlfriend mo? Fling?" I asked. Hindi ko na napigilan pa kating-kati na ang dila ko.

Pero hindi niya ako sinagot.

"Zaki, I thought we're bestfriends?"

"Don't mind her, Veni."

"But I want to know. Bakit kayo nag-aaway kanina? OMG! Don't tell me girlfriend mo nga siya and you guys were having a fight! Was it because of me? Oh no! Pinagselosan niya ako?!" Gulat kong tanong.

"Guess you're really returning from the old Veni..." Tapos ngumisi siya, I pouted.

"Seryoso sino nga kasi siya?"
