A Mafia's Secret Wife

Chapter 7

NATHAN

We were a chaotic group of friends that were happily teasing each other. While they were busy verbally bullying each other, I quietly stole a glimpse of Ivan.

She was so cute, ever since I saw her on the entrance exam. I began to admire her since that day and it grew more each day. It made me glad just being able to be her friend, although, I don't wish to be considered as an only friend.

Ang drama ko.

"Corpuz, Nathaniel Kiro."

"Corpuz."

I snapped back from my internal drama when my teacher called out my name. "Present, Ma'am, ay Sir?"

The eyes of the new teacher landed on me. "Next time, focus, okay?" He said. I nodded my head quickly in response.

"Ang gwapo ni Nathan kahit tulala."

"Oo nga, sana lahat ng lalaki kamukha niya."

"Yun nga lang, bakit may asungot sa tabi niya."

Ivan darted her eyes to the back where the gossiping girls talking about us. I grinned when she reacted, hoping that she would feel something about me.

Ivan jutted upright from her seat. She hurried to the teacher's table, her eyes still looking at us. She hopped her half body and sat on the teacher's table.

"Ma'am, in a away po nila ako. Sabi daw nila, mali daw yung seating arrangement mo daw. Gusto nila tumabi kay Nathan," she complained, pointing her fingers to the girls.

"Miss Yuginawa, sit down," The new teacher calmly said at her. The teacher wasn't mad because she interrupted in class. It was because of her position like a lady superhero, adding the fact that she's wearing a red bandana in her head.

"Yes, sir. Darna!" She beamed and faced the teacher. "Sir?" She stuttered. Out of a sudden, when she was about to go down from the table, but she lost her balance.

"Ivan!" I shouted and ran towards her.

I froze up when the new teacher caught her in his arms, wrapping his arms around her waist. He was fast, but his glasses fall on the ground. He was staring intently straight into Ivan's eyes.

They so close to each other, holding each other. He gently held Ivan's hands to help her regain her balance.

It boiled my blood just by looking at them. "What the," I uttered. I was supposed to that for her.

They caught everyone's attention that made the other girls squealed at the top of their lungs.

"Ash Maniego!"

While the other girls ended up in a brawl for discovering the new teacher's appearance. I ignored the monster girls, fighting to forsake to touch the new teacher. I took the chance to approach Ivan.

Psh, Ash Maniego. Pangalan lang ng unggoy ko yan.

I was aiding Ivan, but she kept her head down. "Nano, are you okay?" I asked.

I tried to lift her head up. "Does it hurt?" I was left speechless when I saw her blushing face like a tomato. My eyes widened in surprise.

It felt like I got stoned from head to toe, leaving my heart crushed by her reaction. I shook my head slightly. "Mainit dito, Nano," I told her, calling her by the pet name I gave her. I was fanning her face with my hand. "Upo tayo ha." I help her to take a seat.

Naah, mainit lang talaga sa Pilipinas.

IVAN

"Ivan," I heard Nathan's shout and kept my eyes shut close.

Oh, juice colored, mani, patis, kangkong, malonggay. Alam kung shunga ako pero ayoko pang mamatay.

I squeezed my eyes shut, waiting for my head to bang on the floor. I couldn't blame anyone. I knew how stupid I am, so, mamatay akong nakanganga lang shunga.

Kahit ma-amnesia lang po ako, 'wag lang ako madeads agad-agad.

"Bye, Kambal. Paalam Kuya Min, sa Moron Trio at sa mga boyfriends ko. Farewell, Goodbye," I chanted out loud.

I was able to smell the heavenly scent of heaven. I could smell and smell it, that it pierced my nostrils.

If I were to die today, please, I beg, pa VIP seat naman kung saan nakapila ang grupo ng mga pogi. Kung pwede paki-insert ako sa gitna. Gusto ko lang maranasan ang maging sandwich squeeze between abdominal muscles.

"Moron woman, open your eyes and get up,"

I never thought that San Pedro would be an "Englishero". Also, I never imagined that he would be this demanding.

I took a peek with my one eye, I closed it again. "Pwede pa-VIP seat to heaven na lang. Sa impyerno po ata ako naligaw," I said, shutting my eyes more. "Masyadong pogi ang kaharap ko, mukhang demonyo nga lang."

I held in his strong arms that wrap around me. I opened my eyes and landed on his muscular arms. "May muscles pa," I commented, pinching his arm.

My eyes flew to his face. He was frowning as he looked straight at me. "Sir, buhay pa pala ako?" I flirted.

He grinned. "Yes, student. Sadly, I am a demon living in this filthy land and met a moron woman like you. So, please, get up," he muttered.

He carefully aided me to regain my balance. "Sorry, sir. Akala ko si Hades ka. Hadesharap kainin," I said, mumbling the last words.

I tugged a lock of hair in my ear. He chuckled. "Thanks for the compliment," he said and winked.

I blushed, recalling my words that I uttered in front of him. I couldn't believe that I was so shameful.

"Ash Maniego!" The girls in my class screamed and rushed towards us.

My head was still flying in the air as my eyes glued on him. He was smiling at the other girls, yet his eyes seemed emotionless.

I drooled slightly as I kept thinking of him and what happened just a while ago. I was brought back from daydreaming of him when Nathan grabbed my hands.

"Nano, are you okay?" He asked, but I remained to lower my head. I couldn't lift my head because of my embarrassment.

Nathan was forced to lift my face since I didn't respond to him. "Does it hurt," he paused shortly. His eyes widened as he looked at me.

"Mainit dito, Nano," he said, helping me to get out of the fighting area of desperate girls. He fanned his hand. "Upo tayo ha," he said and offered me a seat.

Oo nga, mainit lang talaga sa classroom.

"Sit down!"

The room went silent when the principal thundered when she entered. Everyone went back to their seats and behave as their eyes pry.

I pressed a hand on my chest that had been pumping fast. I winced, getting worried if I'll have a heart attack.

Kasalanan to ni, Sir.
