The Bad Lawyer (Mafia Series #1)

13

Halatang gulat si Hera, Artemis, Leto at Nemesis dahil ang Aphrodite na leader namin ay kaharap lang pala nila.

Si Gael ay normal lang ang reaksyon at umiinom pa din. Si Nash ay malaki ang mata.

Ang apat na mag kakapatid, sila ang mas nagulat. Siguro ay kung kapatid din ako ni Azheaya ay magugulat din ako ng sobra sobra.

Nakatungo lang si Aya at halatang hindi inaasahan ang ginawa ni Kai. Kita ko ang paglunok niya.

"Bakit hindi ka kasi nag suot ng contact lense?" Tanong ni Gael. Tunog na nagrereklamo.

"I-I forgot.." she said in a very low voice. She looked at Kai and she punched him. "Why the hell did you remove my mask you freak!"

"I'm curious as hell, Aphrodite!" He shouted. Natigilan siya. "The first time I saw you in that fucking party, i knew! You were Azheaya Vidia Lustivera, you're crystal blue eyes stopped me from breathing.."

"Shut up." Umirap si Aya. "Gagawin mo yon tanginamo!"

"Yeah yeah." He said and drinked his shot.

Hindi pa rin nagsasalita ang apat na magkakapatid na lalaki. Nasa sahig lang ang tingin nila. Animo'y pinipilit i-sink in ang kanilang isipan ang mga nakita at narinig.

"Azheaya, mag usap tayo sa labas." Sabi ni Gian at tumayo. Tinignan siya ni Aya at bumuntong hininga. Inambahan pa niya ng suntok si Kai. Sumunod rin siya sa Kuya niya at ganoon rin si Lenuel, Zy at Ace.

"Oh ano ka ngayon? Mas maganda si Aphrodite sayo." Sabi ni Leto kay Nemesis.

"Ngayon lang ako tatanggap ng pagkatalo dahil sumasang-ayon ako sayo." Nakangising sabi ni Nemesis.

"Sabi ko na nga ba." Iyon ang sabi ni Hera.

"Ano?" Tanong ni Artemis.

"Hindi niyo ba napapasin? Kapag wala si Azheaya ay andyaan si Aphrodite at kapag wala si Aphrodite ay andyaan si Azheaya. It means si Aphrodite at Azheaya ay iisa." Pag papaliwanag ni Hera.

Kung sabagay ay may punto siya, naisip ko na rin yan noon pero ipinasawalang bahala ko na lang dahil hindi ako sigurado.

"Oo nga 'no?" Sabi ni Nemesis. "Ang bobo kasi ni Leto hindi niya naisip yon."

"Mas bobo ka, gago." Sabi naman ni Leto kay Nemesis.

Tumikhim si Gael at sakanya natuon ang atensyon namin.

"Azheaya was also known as Athena because of her wisdom, reasoning and intelligence. She was unique person with unfathomable popularity among us. She was only five years old when her parents wants her to be strong. They wanted Aya to be the most powerful, the strongest, the unbeatable and unbreakable mafia heiress and mafia princess." Gael said.

"And Aphrodite came because of her angelic appearance could charm even the hardest of hearts. I was the one who called her Aphrodite because of her unique beauty, she was possessed. She was the goddess of beauty. She can tame beasts. So she has three names. Azheaya, Aphrodite, Athena." Nakangiting kuwento ni Gael.

"But then sadly, her past is dark. Until we created Greek. Until the girls came. She saw family in this sisterhood. She felt loved that she never felt when she was a kid. She was only 6 when I met her. We created Greek 2 months after that." Pag kuwento ni Gael at tumatawa, halatang lasing na.

"Sinungaling ka." Sabi ko. "Sabi mo hindi pa siya nag kakaroon ng estudyante, liar."

Nakabalik na ang mag kakapatid, at naupo si Aya sa tabi ko uminom siya ng tequila.
