Cross of Paths (Mafia Series#1) ON GOING

Chapter 21

Pagpasok ko ay nakakita ako ng isang bultong sobrang pamilyar. I'm about to open my mouth when he turned to me.

My eyes starts to water and memories came rushing in.

Flashback:

"Promise me you'll be a good girl when we grow up." Giit ni kuya kaya napakamot ako ng ulo.

"Eh ikaw nga e bad ka pa rin hanggang sa pagtanda." I pouted. Ayaw niya kasi ako isali sa mafia organization na sinasabi ni daddy eh I'm good at handling guns.

"It's dangerous Ivy, I can't protect you at times when you need me." Hindi nito pagpayag. Ang Kj naman neto.

"I'll save my self kuya, promise!" I raised my right hand and smiled at him sweetly.

He sighed. "Fine."

Tumalon-talon agad ako sa sagot niya at napayakap sa kaniya. "You're the best kuya." Masayang sabi ko habang yakap-yakap siya.

-End of Flashback-

"Kuya!"

I screamed and run to his direction.. I was about to hug him when he acted like he don't know me.

"Uhh... Who you?" He asked at tumingin sa taas.

I rolled my eyes. "I'm your grandma, silly." My reaction changed ang hugged him tight.

Iyak pa rin ako ng iyak dahil nakita ko na uli siya. Thank God! He came back! My kuya came back!

Oo, kasalanan ko lahat kung bakit siya nahiwalay sa amin. They want to capture me but instead, kuya volunteered and go.

"Sorry kuya." I muttered while a stream of tears falling down on my cheeks. "I'm sorry."

"Shush baby girl, It's not your fault okay? It's no one's fault. I came back for you." He said as he wipe the tears on my face.

Is this a dream? I wish not. I missed kuya so much. Siya ang kakampi ko sa lahat at taga protekta ko.

"And I will never came back if your boyfriend didn't save me." he smiled and gaze at the doors direction where Kenzo's watching us.

"This is not a dream right?" I asked myself at pumikit- pikit pa. "Please don't go again. Please don't." I pleaded.

Hindi ko alam kung anong gagawin ko pag nawala nanaman si kuya. He's one of the treasures of our family, ilang taon siyang nawala at halos magwala si mommy ng nalaman niyang kinuha siya noon.

"Dun ka nga sa boyfriend mo. Laki-laki mo na ah, may boyfriend ka pa, buti di ka ipinakasal doon sa friend ko." He said obviously teasing Kenzo, naniwala naman yung isa.

"The what? Marriage?" Irita niyang bigkas. "She's mine. Ako ang papakasalan niya." He exclaimed.

"Sus! Muntikan na kaya siyang ikasal sa iba, I heard it's her crush when she was 12 year-"

"Don't listen to him, he's teasing you." Kuya is such a bully, but the question in my mind is.. how the hell did kuya escape?

"How did you escape kuya?" I asked.

"Nakatakas ako kasi pogi ako." He smugly looked at me.

My expression turned in to poker face. "Seryoso."

"I'm a genius and your boyfriend found me lying on a beach." He explained. Ha? Ganun lang? Yun na yon?

"Seriously dapat sa mental ka dinala e." I murmured.

"What?"

"Wala, sabi ko sobrang talino mo." Usal ko. Tumayo ako at pinagmasdan siya mulo ulo hanggang paa.
