Chapter 36
"Nikolaus is looking for a wife, and I was planning to suggest Boris. She must apply today before he finds someone else. Here's the script on what her life will be. Where is she?" Just last night, she asked me to write down what she would say about Boris's life if there's a chance Nikolaus picks her as his wife. Kagabi pa naka ready itong script.
"Madam, Boris is injured. She can't go there today. She's currently resting now." Saad ni Blaze. Iyon din ang rason kung bakit wala ngayon dito sa pagpupulong si Boris. "The underground transaction last night didn't go well, which is why we got into a fight and also the reason why Boris got injured." Dugtong pa nito. Blaze is the head of all our underground transactions.
"Why is she there? And why did you let her get injured?"
"Calm down. I'll just find someone else to do it." Singit ko bago pa siya sumabog dyan.
"Who? I don't trust anyone except you all, and now you're going to disappoint me?" Napatungo nalang sila. "I will not allow my plan to be ruined... I'll apply as his wife."
"What? Are you fucking serious, Snow?" React ko.
"If Boris can't do it, then I'll do it." I don't know if she's just joking, but her expression says she's not because she looks so serious.
"Huwag kang magpadalos-dalos, Snow."
"I've already decided, Briggs." She looked at me, seriously. Napasapo nalang ako sa batok ko.
Wynnona Snow started to prepare herself to become Malia Fey Acosta. She cut her hair a little shorter than her usual long hair, cut her long nails and removed the nail polish, put on ordinary contact lenses, and didn't wear makeup, just to look like a simple and poor girl who needs a job. She wears contact lenses because her eyes are too dark and scary. Iyong mukhang kaawa-awa dapat ang kailangan. She also covered up the butterfly tattoo near her chest. Hindi naman halata iyon kapag naka t-shirt siya, huwag nga lang s'yang magsasando. But just to be careful, she covered it.
The 'tatay' she's referring to became her driver when I wasn't around, and he got hospitalized due to his real sickness in Malia's story. Totoo iyong sakit niya at matagal na talagang naka confine sa hospital. Meanwhile, Manang Lina is one of her maids na in-assign niya na bantayan ito. This maid is also aware of the character she's going to portray once chosen by Nikolaus to be his wife.
"You need to learn how to cook, Snow." Sabi ko dahil may isang gabi na lang siya para magprepare at magpractice. Pupunta na siya bukas sa bar na pag mamay-ari ni Nikolaus para mag-apply ng trabaho.
"Cook? No way." Tanggi niya kaagad. Napabuntong-hininga naman ako at lumapit sa kanya.
"You have to learn to cook. You must cook for your husband." Giit ko. Matalim niya tuloy akong tingnan dahil sa pamimilit ko. I just stopped myself from laughing because I'm not used to seeing her with those eyes that look kind, unlike when she doesn't have contact lenses and makeup on, her eyes are really scary. Pipiliin mo nalang talaga na huwang s'yang titigan.
"He's rich. He has maids to do it for him. So, I don't need to learn those things or any household chores, Briggs."
"But you're portraying as Malia. Malia na laki sa hirap na sanay sa lahat ng bagay, so you must learn those basic things, Snow." Seryosong sabi ko. She closed her eyes and sighed for a moment. It looks like she regretted her decision. Hindi pa siya nakukuha n'yang bilang asawa ni Nikolaus pero naii-stress na agad siya. Paano pa kaya kung siya nga ang mapili?
She has no choice but to do what I have said. I teach her how to cook adobong manok and other fried dishes na madali lang lutuin. Also, how to chop ingredients and do some household chores, and a lot of things. Madali naman s'yang turuan, maliban nga lang sa paghihiwa.
