The Mafia and I // UniCoco

56

Gabb's POV

it was already 3 days ago when Mr. Trinidad passed away

napapansin ko ding bigla biglang umaalis si coleen and i know na pumupunta sya sa rooftop para mapag isa

of course she misses her dad and wala din ang mom nya dito sa pinas saka busy din ang kuya nya sa pag handle ng kompanya nila

pinuntahan ko na si coleen sa rooftop, kahit ngayon lang. para maramdaman nya namang may kasama pa sya

"hey" i reached out

"hm" she hummed in response

di nako nag salita at pinakiramdaman ang malamig na hanging dumadapo sa balat naming dalawa

"aren't u angry?" biglang basag ko ng katahimikan

"of course i am. in fact I'm furious." seryosong sambit nya. i can also feel her trembling voice

"what should we do then?" i asked

"I'll be taking over dad's company. sasali na din ako sa kung ano ang business mo within the Villafuerte's. i know they did this to dad."

"no. I won't let you." ayokong mapahamak sya

"this is for my dad gabb. I'm not asking." sabi nya sabay ng pagtulo ng luha nya

"this is the last time I'll cry." she said standing firmly and letting her tears fall down

i sighed heavily

i know coleen is a strong woman. she wants to be alone sometimes for her to understand herself. i didn't argue with her anymore kase alam kong malaki din ang maitutulong nya if mag join forces kami. she's so damn serious about this. lalo na't alam nya na may kinalaman ang Villafuerte dito.

for now, si Josh pa lang ang pinaghihinalaan namin ni ate lara. he's one of our suspects sa pagpatay kay Mr. Villafuerte and Mr. Trinidad, why? Kase bukod sa gsto nyang pababain ang populasyon ng mundo, sya rin ang namumuno sa Villafuerte's pharmaceuticals which is the largest drugstore in this country. di ko na mabilang kung ilang politicians ang sinakop nya para makuha ang kapangyarihang ganyan.

syempre we're students pa din so we can't focus on our work completely. i mean i can manage but I don't know kay coleen. maybe hassle to sakanya since ngayon lang sya nasangkot sa sitwasyong to

well, I'll be right beside her all the time naman. i can lend a hand, of course. I can't watch her struggling with these things na dapat di nya naman pinagtutuunan ng pansin.

nang mapagtanto na ni coleen ang kanyang sarili, she wiped her tears and faced me

"it's a deal hm?" she smiled while asking me for a handshake

"ok, deal." i gave her a handshake but I can't stop myself from pulling her towards me. so instead i gave her a tight hug, letting her know that I love her

"just promise me you won't get hurt." i whispered under my breath

"i promise" bulong nya pabalik saka hinagkan din ako ng napaka higpit

i kissed the top of her head and asked her to go down na kase it's getting cold

bumalik na din kami sa condo ko. nagulat naman akong dumiretso sya sa table ko saka pumwesto sa kinauupuan ko at nagsimulang magbasa ng mga papers about the Villafuerte's

i decided to make her a hot cocoa since she loves chocolate. tamang tama namang may cocoa din sa ref ko kaya yon na ginawa ko

after a few minutes sa wakas at tapos na din tong tinitimpla kong cocoa for me and my baby

nang nakapasok nako sa kwarto namin ee kita ko namang bagsak si coleen sa table na puno ng mga papel

ang kalat naman neto

"babe here's your hot cocoa" alok ko dito sabay lapag ng tasa nya sa mesa

inangat nya naman ang ulo nya saka nginitian ako, telling "thank you" by her gorgeous smile

napangiti nalang din ako sakanya and started drinking my hot cocoa

"hmmmm, it's good" galak na sabi nya pagkatpos ng isang higop

natawa naman ako dahil sa mukha nyang may choco HAHAHA

I giggled and wiped the choco beside her lips with my thumb

she just smirked at me. i know this look. she's asking for a round, well it's the wrong time for that maybe tomorrow HAHAHAHA

i looked away telling her "not today sweetheart" and continued to drink my hot cocoa

nakita ko naman ang pagka dismaya sa mukha neto kaya natawa ako ng mahina dahil sa reaksyon nya

rinig naman naming bumuhos ang napaka lakas na ulan kaya tamang tama lang na nagtimpla ako ng ganto for us

kumuha naman ako ng hoodie sa cabinet ko saka sinuot ito

bumalik ako kay coleen and she was glaring at me like i did something wrong

"what?" i asked her with my eyebrows up

"hmp, nilalamig din ako no" malditang sabi nito sabay crossarms pa

alam ko namang want nya din ng hood, to be specific. she wants my hoodie, MY hoodie :)

syempre kinuhanan ko na din sya ng isa pang hood

hinagis ko ito sakanya para masuot nya na din. we're wearing a matching hoodies, we're really cute at these HAHA

she showed me that smile and excitement while wearing my hood. napangiti nalang din ako dahil sa gestures nya

I'm glad na kahit papano ee napapangiti ko sya in midst of her darkest times. di ako magsasawang pangitiin sya kahit gaano kahirap ang pinagdadaanan nya. I'll be here for her.

i know she's hurting deep inside but it's ok. Hindi bawal ang masaktan, I'll be here as her resting place. I'll always open my arms for her. I'm gonna make her happy in my prsence.

i just can't imagine how lucky i am to have this girl in my life

nang maubos na namin ang cocoa naming dalawa, i asked her if she wants to have a movie night para naman gumaan pakiramdam nya.

she nodded her head in response so sinet up ko na ang panonoorin namin sa tv and our cuddle place saka yung snacks

sumunod na din sya dito sa living room at tumabi sakin

we started our movie night together, and alam kong makakatulog to maya maya

these kind of nights never failed to make me feel alive.
