She's The Gangster's Wife

CHAPTER 69: THREATS & WARS

AeiAei's POV

I'll be damn if I would say that I am enjoying my view right now. Hahahaha kanina pa kasi di mapakali ang mamaw. Masyado sya na conscious sa isusuot nya para sa dinner namin with my parents and my brother. Kahit nung nagdadrive sya medyo pinagpapawisan na sya. Tapos nung nasa tapat na kami ng pinto bigla nyang hinila yung kamay ko at hinawakan ng mahigpit.

Ghaad I can feel how cold his hands were.  I remember saying to him to relax because it is just my family and he have met them for so many times but he simply replied to me...

"You can't blame me. I just throw shades at your brother yesterday. I feel so bad about it anae. What if your brother disagrees with our wedding? Geeesh I shouldn't have reacted that way. Fvck my luck. Damn"

"But pyon everything is settled na kaya. Wag ka na dyan kabahan. Si kuya lang naman yan hahahaha"

"No. He is still your brother. His approval matters to me."

"Okaaaay. If you say so."

And now that we are eating sobrang tahimik ni mamaw. Walang wala dati sa lantaran nyang pang aasar sa akin or what. Sumasagot naman sya every now and then sa mga business related questions nila mommy at daddy even kuya's question pero knowing him, sobrang reserved ng mga naging sagot nya.

I tried reaching out to him by holding his hand under the table. Agad naman syang napalingon sa akin.

I smiled at him and mouthed "chill okay?"

He nodded and eased up a bit.

"Any updates sa plan for the wedding? Hindi na kasi ako makikialam since I know your Mom is planning it while we're away?" (si Mama)

"Ah yes po Mama nakakuha na po si Mum ng planner at ongoing na po ang pag canvass at brainstorming ng mga possible theme na pwede naming pagpilian. The church is already secured po sa Europe. Inaantay na lang po na maging free si Anae sa schedules nya sa school para masama sya nila Mum sa couture shop na kakila nila for the gown fitting and measurements po" (si Ken)

They continue their talk about the preparations pero di ko maikakaila ang talim ng tingin ng kapatid ko kay mamaw.

"Keith" (si Kuya Ian)

"Po? Kenneth na lang Kuya Ian. I use Keith in my office po kasi. " (si Ken)

"Can we talk for a moment? Like just the two of us?" (si Kuya)

Nakita kong napalunok si Mamaw bago tumango.

"Kuya!"

"What? Princess, it's not like I will grill him or skin him alive for his antics yesterday? So what he kissed you in public? So what if he grabbed you and you spent the night handling his tantrums just because he's jealous? *evil smile* I wonder what you did to make him calm after seeing him seething yesterday" (si Kuya)

Tuluyan ng nasamid si Kenneth sa pag inom ng wine nya bwahahahha. Wawa naman ang pyon ko nilaglag ni kuya kila mama at papa. Alam na alam naman ni mamaw na kahit 'ibugaw' na nila ako sa kanya ayaw pa rin naman nila na nakikita kami ng ganun in public kasi para kay papa baby girl nya pa din ako.

"You just did that Kenneth Kevin Keith?" gone is the humor my Papa have earlier.

"I'm so sorry for that po Papa. It's just that Anae has been too cold to me for the past few days and seeing him hug someone the way I want her to hug me fueled my jealousy po. Desperation got me and her rejection added to my clouded mind so I just did what I did and I'm so sorry po if I have caused a scene. "
