A Mafia's Secret Wife

Chapter 8

IVAN

It was late in the afternoon when my friend summoned me to witness her craziness. Jaeky Montenegro was trying to jump on the room window of Eurika. She was shouting that she can't take this world anymore.

I rolled my eyes as I watch her. She screamed, aiming to jump out. "Magpapakamatay ako. Hindi ko na kaya," she yelled.

Lee Savier and I just watched her drama. "Sabihin mo lang kung gaano kalakas kita itutulak," Lee spoke as she concentrated on her phone game.

Jaeky choked from screaming. "Joke, manunood na lang ng movie," she said, sitting beside Eurika Dale, who was busy cleaning some musical instrument.

Jaeky sobbed beside Eurika. "Ang sama-sama ng boyfriend ko," she whined.

I winced in annoyance. "Ex," I corrected.

Archie Cruz, the big eater in our girlfriends, guffawed as she swallowed some crackers. "Matagal nang masama yung ex mo, pslibhasa na bulag ka, tanga-tanga pa," she nagged even her mouth was half-full of food. "Ang bobey mo, teh," she added.

Jaeky cried out. "Mas matangkad naman ako sa bago niya, mas sexy pa," she grunted, sobbing like a child.

Girl, kawawa ka naman.

"Agree na ko na matangkad ka, pero sexy?" Viena Delfin chirped in the conversation, crushing Jaeky's heart once more. Vie clicked her tongue as she shook her head.

Abril Valiez groaned while her eyes were still glued on the television screen. "Stop wasting your tears on your pimpled face ex. He doesn't even have a grain of handsomeness in him," Abril joined in with her harsh remarks. "Buti pa ang asawa kong si Ken," she said, pertaining to the leading man in the movie they are watching.

My face turned sour to her shitty fantasy. Jaeky just cried out loud, wiping her snot with Eurika's blanket.

"Sige, ipahid mo pa ang sipon mo dahil ibabalot ko sayo yan ng sampung taon. Tignan natin," Eurika fumed, hitting Jaeky with a drumstick.

They were planning to have a slumber party and a movie marathon in Eurika's mansion. I couldn't move on how big their house was. She was a living princess in their house.

" Kyaa," Vie was cut off from her screaming. She was so thrilled by the love scene, but Jaeky interrupted her with a scream, too.

"Ayoko nang mabuhay, bakit hindi ako?" Jaeky shouted, punching the pillows. "Ano ba ang kulang sa akin at ako'y kaniyang iniwan?"

My eyes squinted to her familiar line. "Lagyan niyo nga ng tape ang bibig niyan," Archie complained.

"Girl, hindi ka lang iniwan, pinagsabay kayong dalawa," Lee told her, pressing a finger on her forehead. "Tanga ka kasi," she added.

I couldn't understand why she was wasting tears on her jerk ex-boyfriend. It was so clear that he was a playboy.

Pinili nga lang ng gago ang mukhang alimasag na katawang hipon na babae at iniwan si Jaeky. Akala niya ay parang elementary exam sheet ang mga babae na mayroon choices. Na pagwalang sagot ay iiwanan lang na nakablangko, tatawanan lang pag nagkamali ng sagot.

Setting it aside, Jaeky was also a fucking blind woman. She was giggling even though her boyfriends ignored her. She bragged her boyfriend that it had no particular preferences when it comes to a gift that simply accept every gift she gave.

Jaeky was about to burst into tears again, but Eurika shoved a whole bread in her mouth that made her shut.

I glance at Abril, who poked my side. "Van, umamin ka nga. Boyfriend mo si sir?" She asked.

My brows knitted. "Hindi ah, nagkakilala lang kami sa Shop ng part-time ko," I replied, excluding the part that I met him because of texting clan.

"Ang gwapo ni Sir Ash, nuh?" Vie chimed.

I frowned. "Yung Ash na businessman?" I queried. I tried to recall my brother's line, but I only remembered he was a businessman.

Archie smacked my head. I winced. "Tanga, si Sir yun."

I gasped, recognizing his face.

Shit, oo nga! Kaya pamilyar.

"Hashtag pogi, hashtag mayaman, hashtag successful, and hashtag single," Lee said, waving her hands in the air.

I shook my head. "Seryoso?" I asked.

Abril nodded. "Yes, don't tell me hindi mo kilala?" she said.

I grimaced. "Hindi ata," I admitted, scratching my head.

Sorry naman, malay ko ba.

"Banny, pasaway kang bata ka!" I straightened up straight when I heard my brother's shout from the outside.

"Hindi ka nagsaing sa bahay at naglakwatsya kana. Uwi!"

I ran to the window to see my brother. "Lumabas kana dyan at nang makurot ko iyang makati mong puwet!"

My eyes widened in shock. "Kuya Min?" I exclaimed when I saw my older brother Reymin Kley, my thirty-two years old brother.

"Hindi ka nagsaing tapos makikikain ka sa ibang bahay?"

"Labas dyan!"

I panicked. I glanced at my girlfriend, who pretended that they don't see me. "Itago niyo ako," I plead. They cleared their throat and went back to their business.

Jaeky, who was making a drama, pretended she was watching intently at the movies.

Mga walanghiyang maka kaibigan. Mga traidor! Bakit kasi umuwi si Kuya Min, ang strikto pa naman.

I hurried back to the window. I peek a little. "Oo na po, susuko na po ako," I shouted, waving my two hands in the air.

"Lumabas kana nang magtuos na tayo," Kuya Min screamed from the outside.

I cried as I rushed outside. "RIP puwet," I said, and make a sign of the cross.
