KIDNAPPED BY A MAFIA BOSS (Under Revision)

CHAPTER TWO

Umaga na nang magising ako dahil sa sikat ng araw na sumilip galing sa kurtina ng bintana. Limang oras lang siguro ang naging tulog ko dahil narin sa kakaimbistiga sa lalaking iyon.

Travis Scott Villacorta.

I smiled when I remembered his name. I checked my phone kung may iniwang message si Venice sa'kin pero wala kaya mukhang gagawin ko ang unang hakbang mag-isa.

Pagkatapos kong gawin ang daily routine ko, I decided to go downstairs to have my breakfast. Agad ko namang naabutan si Aunt Archie na nagluluto kasama ang kasam-bahay nila.

Agad niya namang na pansin ang presensiya ko kaya she greeted me first.

"Good morning, hija. How's your sleep?" She asked while lending me a kiss on my hair.

Gustong-gusto ko talaga ang ganitong ugali ni Aunt Archie. Ever since when I was still a baby, she used to be my second Mom and at the same time my personal Yaya. She likes to babysit me before kasi wala naman daw siyang masyadong ginagawa, pagkukwento niya sa'kin noon. Kaya I'm so comfortable, me being with her.

I kissed her back on her cheek as I sat down on a chair near the kitchen.

"It was good, Aunt. But my stomach hurts. Hindi kasi ako nakapagdinner kahapon. Hindi din ako ginising ni Lucas no'ng nakauwi na kami," I lied saka nagpacute sa kaniya.

Natatawa naman siyang nakikinig sa sinabi ko. "Naku! Ang batang iyon talaga. Malilintikan iyon sa'kin mamaya."

Aunt Archie continue what she's doing habang ako naman ay hinihintay siyang matapos.

Not that long naman ay natapos narin ang paghihintay ko, kasabay narin nito ang pagbaba nila Uncle Per at Lucas galing sa kani-kanilang silid.

Each of them greeted me and then we begin our breakfast together.

Habang kumakain ay pinakikinggan ko lang ang mga pinag-uusapan nila hanggang sa mabaling sa'kin ang kanilang atensyon.

"So, hija. You're a graduating student, right?" Uncle Per asked.

I pursed my lips saka tumango sa sinabi niya. "Opo, Uncle. Sixth months from now," I lied. Graduate na ako ng college, last year pa. I don't want them to get involve kaya hindi ko sinabi sa kanila kung bakit ako naririto ngayon.

"Ah, I see. So, what are you planning to do kapag nakagraduate kana?"

"I don't know yet, Uncle. But I'm planning to join a company as a secretary. You know, I want to learn business industry," I lied again.

Sorry.

Nakita ko namang nagtinginan ang dalawa and both of them smiled at me when both of their eyes laid on me.

"That's a great idea, hija. You can join our company whenever you want to. You can learn many things from our business. Right, honey?" Aunt Archie said in a convincing way.

Uncle nodded— a sign that he's agreeing to what Aunt had said. "You're Aunt is right. Habang wala ka pangnakikitang part time job ngayon, pwede ka muna sa company namin magtrabaho. Our company is always wide open for you, Clarity. And you can enhance your skills there. What do you think?"

Both of them waited for my answer. I turned around to ask for Luke's help but seems like he wants to know my answer too. Now, everyone's eyes are locked on me.

I drink a glass of water and then wiped my lips using a table napkin. I take a deep breath as I smiled at them.

"Let me think about that, Aunt. Uncle. Ayokong maging pabigat sa pamilya niyo at saka malayo pa naman 'yon kaya huwag na muna nating alalahanin."
