The Mafia Boss' Wife

Chapter 6 - We're Married?!

[Uy, totoo ba? Heheheh wild guess lang yun, Miss Zhannie eh] saktong pagkasabi nang mokong na 'yun ay siya ring pagbukas ng pinto.

Bumungad saakin ang lalaking nakangiti habang hawak-hawak ang phone niya sa tenga habang ang isang kamay ay nasa bulsa ng pantalon niya. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay at inirapan nang makita niya ako ay napakamot siya ng ulo.

"Stalker much?" Panimula ko.

"Saan?" Nalilitong tanong niya sabay tingin sa kaliwa't kanan. Niloloko niya ba 'ko?

"Ba't may pa sundo-sundo pa? I can get there on my own."

"Utos ni bossing, Miss Zhannie." Inirapan ko na  lang siya at sumunod sa kanya nang maglakad na ito patungong elevator.

"Alipin ka ba niya. Ba't palaging kang nakadikit sa kanya?" I asked when we went inside the private elevator. Echoserang 'to ba't naka-access siya dito? Hay nako, ayoko nang maraming iisipin.

"Sa gwapo 'kong 'to? Alipin?" He smugged at me kaya I couldn't help but to roll my eyes.

Hindi ko nalang siya pinansin hanggang sa makarating sa basement, hindi rin naman siya nangulit rin at seryosong nakatulala sa harapan na parang may malalim na iniisip.

Papunta na sana ako sa kotse ko nang pinigilan niya 'ko and guided me to a... What the hell?

I stopped on my tracks when we were just a couple of meters away from the car. Seriously? A Bugatti La Voiture Noire?!

Damn! It's the most expensive car in the whole wide world! Tanginang de Vill na yan, sa tingin niya ba makukuha niya ang company 'ko sa kayamanan niya? Grrrrr.

I was brought back to senses when I heard someone cleared his throat. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay at patuloy na naglakad. Talagang nakakapikon ang pagngisi ng unggoy na'to, urgh! Inirapan ko nalang siya nang pinagbuksan niya 'ko bago tuluyang pumasok.

"Buckle up, Miss Zhannie. We'll get there in no time." Ngising saad niya sa habang nakatingin saakin through the rearview mirror.

"Whatever." Tumawa lang siya ng mahina bago naging tahimik ang byahe.

I can't help but look at him, I mean he does have the looks but not quite my type. He seems to be the jolly, happy-go-lucky kind of person yet there's this mysteriousness in his aura na I just can't explain. Speaking of which, I can't help but to feel a litte bit of pity upon recalling the incident a few days ago. He must have had it hard.

His sister nearly had a miscarriage, his parents were... uhm, dead. But even amidst the cynical news, he kept his cool. It must have been hard.

"Condolence, Mr. Barlowe." I said breaking the silence sa kotse. Parang nagulat pa ata siya sa sinabi ko pero tumango naman ito at ngumiti ng konti.
