Chapter 2: GE;GE√ Welcome Back
CLAIRA'S POV
"WHATTT?!!!"
"Relax Pica~~ you need to go back in the Philippines as soon as possible. Someone's after your life. You need to be careful, baby. The person who wants you dead has a wide connection in every part of the world except in the Philippines." Mom explained to me. But, who is the person who wants me dead? Did that person know who I am?
"Why?"naguguluhan ko ring tanong.
"That 'someone' knew that you're the Gangster Empress. And the successor of your grandfather's company. And our top priority here is your safety."
"But I can handle myself!"asik ko.
"We know~we know~. But,we can't be too confident. What if that 'someone' is more stronger than you?" Yeah. Mom has a point. In every aspect, we can't be so sure for me and my families safety.
"But, how about you? Kuya and Carlo? What if--"dad cut me off.
"Dont worry we can handle ourselves. Your grandfather assigned a lot of security here in the mansion and you're the one who needs to be safe. No more buts Chemisty. Our decision is final and Pàpà also approved."dad exclaimed. Fine! Wala naman akong magagawa. Aysia Corporation is one of the biggest company worldwide. Not just that, but the top 1 in business industry. Lolo was the one who handle that for now, and he's planning to pass that to me on my 20th birthday. Being a heiress is not that easy. Many businessmen want to surpass me and get our company by hook or by crook.
I have an older brother named Calvin Physics Aysia. He's the one who will handle the Ace company. That dad's company. That's also one of the top business here in America and Europe.
And my younger brother, Carlo Earth Aysia. He will be the heir of the Francisco Group of Companies. That s also my mother's legacy. Yes we're rich, but we can't avoid the danger in out family.
About the Gangster Empress thingy? Mom and Dad are former Gangsters. While my grandfather is a Long time mafia boss and he want me to be in his line. But not now, I'm taking to be a gangster and unexpectedly, now a gangster Empress.
My life is full of Mystery that you wouldn't want to know. It's all complicated and hard to predict. Even my freinds didn't know that I'm a Mafia heiress. Ang alam lang nila ay isa akong Gangster. Malakas akong napabuga ng hangin.
PAPUNTA ako sa dining ngayon. Gutom nako at maggagabi na. Ang lamig pa naman ng panahon dito sa America. Pagdating ko dun ay si Carlo lang ang nadatnan ko.
"Where's kuya?"agad kong tanong. Nakaupo siya sa isa sa mga upuan sa dining table at parang matanda kung kumain.
"Dunno."tingnan motong batang to. Ang sarap kausap.
"Yeah~yeah~. Alam mo bang aalis na ako? Ha? Ta's ganyan ko makaasta sakin?!"pangongonsensya ko pa sabay upo sa harap niya.
"Whatever ate. Safe trip by the way."sabi niya pa habang nakangisi. Ugh! Sarap iuntog ang batang to. Pinandilitan ko ito pero hindi na ako pinansin.
"Tss." Siniringan ko na lang siya.
"Miss Carter!"tawag ko sa chef namin. "Where's my food?"agad naman siyang pumalakpak ng dalawang beses atsaka tinawag ang ibang servants namin. Nilagay nila sa harapan ko ang plates and utensils tsaka nilagay ang pagkain sa harap. Tsss.
Nagsimula na akong kumain ng dumating si kuya.
"Hey Chems! I heard you're going back in the Philippines." Bungad sa akin ni kuya sabay halik sa pisngi ko. Tiningnan ko naman ito ng masama sabay pahid sa laway niya na nadikit sa mukha ko. Pambihira!
Ang pamilya ko lang ang pwedeng tumawag sa akin ng Chemistry at wala ng iba. Lahat ng taong nakapalibot sa akin ay Claira na ang tawag. Binalingan ko saglit ng tingin si kuya atsaka kumain ulit. Nagkibit balikat lang ako at inirapan siya. Tss.
"Sungit. Nagtatanong lang eh!"pagdadabog pa nito. Tch. Parang bata.
"FYI kuya! Hindi ka nagtanong! It's a statement. Psh!"ani ko sabay irap nanaman sa kanya. Nakakainis na ah?!
"Meron ka ba ngayon ha? Ang init ng ulo me eh!" Asik din nito sa akin.
"Eww. Kuya! We're eating you know! A little manners please!"sita ni Carlo sa kanya. Hindi ko na talaga alam kung sino ba ang matanda sa dalawang to! Si kuya Isip bata at si Carlo naman ay parang 50 years old na kung mag Isip. Samantalang ako, maganda lang. Tss.
"Ewan ko sa inyo!"padabog kong sabi at saka umalis sa dining hall nang hindi tinatapos ang pagkain. Alam kong sayang pero nakakawalang gana sila eh. Naglakad ako patungo sa kwarto ko para mag empake para sa flight ko bukas. Bawat maid at butler's na madadaanan ko ay yumuyuko sa akin at ang ilan ay binabati pa ako. tss.
Pagkarating ko sa kwarto ay humiga agad ako sa kama. I look at the ceiling as if there's an answer to my questions. Going back to the Philippines really bothered me. I can live here forever if I want to. But I think fate won't let me feel bored in my life and chose a thrilling part. Before the darkness invade me. I wish myself goodluck.
••••
I PACK my things early in this morning and now I'm ready to go to the airport. Nalimutan kong mag empake kagabi kaya binilisan ko talaga ang pag eempake kaninang umaga. Eight thirty ang flight ko. Mom and Dad can't escort me in the airport so as kuya kaya si Carlo lang ang kasama ko.
We're now currently going to the airport. At ang Ermitanyong si Carlo daig pa si mommy at daddy kakabilin sa akin.
"Ate you should eat a lot in there okay? Don't skip a meal! Sleep well and dont stress yourself too much. Don't drive ate please! You're a reckless driver! You might had an accident and I can't bare to look at you with wounds and blood! Don't let others touch you, you may get a lot of germs. Exercise everyday for you to have a healthy body. And--"
"Silly, Carlo. You sounded like an old man. Don't worry. I will take care of myself. Hmm?"hindi na niya ako kinausap at napabuntong hininga nalang siya. Buti naman. Alam ko namang namimiss lang ako ng bulilit nato. Nakarating kami sa airport ng hindi nagsasalita. Private plane ng pamilya namin ang sasakyan ko patungong pilipinas.
Bumaba na ako gayundin ang driver para tulungan ako sa mga gamit ko. May iba pang guards ng pamilya ko ang nasa labas ng kotse at naghihintay sa akin. Pumasok ulit ako sa kotse at tiningnan si Carlo na namumula ang buong mukha at may pasinghot singhot pa. Lihim akong napangiti.
"Hey brother, I guess this is a goodbye."ani ko habang mataman siyang tinitigan.
"You know how I hate goodbyes ate." Singhot niya pa.
"Yeah yeah! Carlo. Remember that take care of mom and dad for me okay? And also kuya! Napaka Isip bata pa naman nun! Hmm? Kapag nagawa mo yun, may reward ka sa'kin."
"Really?" His eyes gleamed in delight. Tumango ako at nginitian siya. " Yes ate. You too."sabi niya at yumuko uli. Tsk. Magdadrama na naman ito. I leaned forward and gave him a peck in his cheek. Napatingin siya sa akin. I smiled at him at ginulo ang buhok niya. Niyakap niya naman ako ng napakahigpit. Natatawa na lang ako. Nanlambot ang puso ko. How I miss them already.
Lumabas na ako ng kotse ng walang expresyon sa mukha. Seryoso lang ako at parang pader lang ang tinitingnan ko. Yumuko ang lahat ng naka men in black. Mga tauhan namin ito. Pinadala ni lolo para sa seguridad ko papalipad sa pilipinas.
Nakilala ko ang ilan sa kanila. Mga kasamahan ko nung nag-training ako sa American Security Forces. I was 11 that time and still young. Pero para maprotektahan ko ang sarili ko laban sa mga gustong manakit sa akin, ipinasok ako doon ni lolo.
I walked towards Mr. Clifford. Lolo's right hand. He bowed at me and I nodded my head without looking to him. Sumaludo rin ang mga naka- men in black kaya tipid ko rin silang sinaluduhan.
"This way milady."he lead the way and I followed him. Nasa likod ko ang mga men in black at ang sa right side ko ay ang may bitbit ng mga bagahe ko. Nakaalis na sila Carlo. By the way, mag aaral daw ako sa pilipinas. Sa isa raw'ng sikat na eskwelahan doon. Tsk. Kung pwede sana hindi na eh. Nakakatamad. If you're saying that I will disguise myself? I'd answer no and yes. I won't change my physical appearance just for them not to recognize me, especially my hunters and our business competitors. Unfortunately, they don't know my face being the heiress of Aysia Corporation. I'll just change my name. Nang maisip ko yun ay napakunot ang noo ko.
Ugh! Literally not! I'm going to be Chemistry Francisco. Mom's surname when she's just a maiden. Haven't I told you that only Aysia family members will be the one who can call me that? And now? Tsk.
That is dad's choice that's why wala na akong magagawa. Lahat ng tao dito sa airport ay napapatingin sa akin. Sino bang hindi? Sa ganda kong to? Tch. Napangisi ako.
Nakarating na kami sa harap ng private plane namin. Pumasok na ako at bumungad sa akin ang isang napakagandang loob ng eroplano. It has a luxury design. And you wouldn't even thought that this is an earplane. It looks like a luxury room in a hotel. Tss. Umupo ako sa malapit sa bintana.
" Have a safe trip milady."he bowed then walked away together with other men in black. I think ten men in black will be with me patungo sa pilipinas.
Kinuha ko ang earphones at iPad ko atsaka nag patugtug ng music. Matutulog lang ako sandali.
••••
ILANG oras na rin ang nakalipas and now, mag lalanding na ang airplane. Napaaga yata ang pagdating namin sa exact time landing kaya umiikot ikot pa kami sa himpapawid. Matapos non ay matiwasay na nakalanding ang eroplano.
My other MIB got my luggage and help me stand. Nauna silang bumaba sa akin. Pagdating ko sa hagdanan ay nakahilera na sila sa magkabilang gilid. At sabay sabay na yumuko.
"Welcome back to the Philippines young lady."sabay sabay nilang sabi.I can't help but to let out a smirked.
Yeah, welcome back to me. And I hope my hunters wouldn't be able to know where I am until I became 18 and claim my inheritance. Because if that happens, I surely won't back out.
