Into The Wild (Mafia Series #2)

"Rise and shine!" I said. "Auleona, wake up. Your brothers are waiting for you."

"Mom, good morning." She yawned. "Are you ok now?" She asked.

I sighed. This is about what happened last night. I nodded and kissed her head. "I'm sorry because Mommy acted like that."

"It's ok... I shouldn't asked about it in the first place. I'm sorry." Ngumiti siya. "I'm just... curious."

"It's ok. Go get ready for school." I said and she nodded. Naligo na siya agad at bumaba na ako para puntahan si Nicholas at Nauel.

They're running back and fourth. I sighed. Time does flies... ang lalaki na nila. Auleona is already 10. Nicholas is 9 and Nauel is 4.

"Nauel Arv and Nicholas John, stop running!" I hissed. They pouted and just obeyed me.

"Kuya Nico and Ate Auleona is leaving for school again. I want to go to school too!" Nauel pouted.

I sighed. "Next year, you will go to school with them." I sighed and kissed him on the cheecks.

"Too long."

"It's not." I said. Pinunasan ko ng pawis si Nicholas. "Pawis na pawis ka na oh, wala ka pa sa school."

"We're just playing, Mom." He said.

"Kahit na."

"Good morning." Auleona greeted.

"Morning bebe love!" Bati din ni Chi kay Auleona at humalik sa pisngi. "Kain na para makapasok na kayo."

Auleona is growing too fast. Malapit na yung kinatatakutan ko. Ayaw ko pa siyang lumaki... What if she'll leave me when she got married and build her own family? Hindi naman maiiwasan yon.

Hinatid ko na sila sa school pagkatapos kumain ni Auleona. She's in her 5th grade in Leicester and Nicholas is in his 4th. They're both achievers in their class. Hindi nabababa sa line of 9 lahat ng grades nila. It's just... amazing.

"Bye Kuya! Bye Ate! Take care!" Nauel waved his little hands to his siblings. Auleona and Nicholas waved back and we left. "Mommy, can I come to your work?" He asked.

I nodded. "Of course. Hindi ka ba mabobored doon?"

"I'll just sleep if I got bored." He giggled. I smiled and patted his head. Adorable.

We went to the company and the workers greeted me.

"Good morning, Ma'am." Monica greeted me. My secretary.

"Good morning, Monica." I greeted back. "What's the schedule for today?"

"At 1:30 to 2:50 PM you have Strategic Meeting. At 3:30 to 5 o'clock you have a meeting with a clients, 6:30 to 7:30 PM you have a dinner meeting with Mr. Lustivera."

Napahinto ako.

"Meeting with whom?"

"Mr. Lustivera, Ma'am." She said. Sinong Lustivera naman 'to e ang dami dami nila. Ano huhulaan ko 'to?

Hindi rin daw sinabi ang pangalan basta Mr. Lustivera daw.

Tumango na lang ako. Puro meeting, dudugo na naman ang ulo ko. Pumasok na kami sa opisina at binigay saakin ni Monica ang mga papel na kailangan kong pirmahan ay asikasuhin.

I stopped when I saw my Dad, calling. Kinuha ko ang phone ko at sinagot bago sumandal sa swivel chair.

"Yes Dad?"

[Fliona... Your Mom-]

"Dad, napag usapan na natin 'to... diba?" Tanong ko.
