A Mafia's Secret Wife

Chapter 9

LAWRENCE

Trying to eat silently alone at the table as I stared at the Moron Trio. They were enjoying taking a bath in the sink, scooping the water in the toilet. I wanted to throw a knife in their direction for being such an eyesore. It boiled my blood to the point it evaporated quickly.

I groaned when my eyes landed on my twin sister, eating hungrily using a ladle. She was eating in the corner of the sink, near the rice cooker. I slapped a hand on my forehead, pitying my older brother Min. It might be a real headache, taking care of idiot siblings.

Kuya Min sat across me. "Mom is sick," he started that made me frowned. I didn't rather understand what he meant. It made me confused as I look at him.

Ivan coughed, making us look at her. "May paracetamol diyan. Ipadala mo na lang sa kaniya," she said after drinking water. She looked troubled, pressing a hand on her throat.

I rolled my eyes, choking like an idiot. "Tingin mo lagnat lang ang sakit sa mundo?" I hissed.

She smirked. "Malay ko, hindi ako sakitin tulad mo," she replied in annoyance.

I grimaced, rolling my eyes once more. "Idiots don't get sick, it's obvious," I sneered, throwing a spoon in her direction.

Our bickering was interrupted when Kuya Min smacked the heads of the Moron Trio.

"Hindi bathtub ang sink. Tignan niyo ang mga marka ng paa niyo, ang itim-itim. Hala, doon na sa banyo ipagpatuloy ang paliligo," Kuya lectured them as he kept on smacking the big idiots. They were bigger and taller than Ivan, but their physical only had a growth system. I shook my head and sighed, how exhausting.

"Waley parin, ang hanap ng bibig mong ligaw, " Lucian sang, walking along with the other twins. They all had a mischievous grin on their faces before they went inside the bathroom.

Kuya Min went back to his seat. "Mom had a kidney problem," he said sadly, staring at the foods on the table.

I was about to speak when Ivan fart like a canon. "Fucking moron," I yelled, covering my nose. Damn, her fart smelled like an abandoned shit-house. Our solemnized moment was broken by a moron. I massaged my neck, trying to ease my anger.

Kuya Min chuckled softly. He smiled and offered Ivan a lump of meat. Fucking idiotic sister, she crawled like a fucking defected cat. Grinning widely as she approached Kuya Min.

I clicked my tongue. If she were just nearer, I would have kicked her head hard.

"Mom needs me in Australia. No need to worry, I'll settle things for you to take care of them," he said, feeding my twin sister under the table.

I groaned. "I'll grow old early. Just send me in your stead," I demanded.

He slowly shook his head. I grimaced. "Why I can't?" I said desperately.

Kahit lumuhod pa ako, huwag mo lang ako iwan kasama ang mga bobong 'to.

He sighed. "Ako yung maghahandle ng companya. We need a stable income. Kaya mo?" He dared, raising an eyebrow.

I slumped in my chair. "No way," I complained, crying inwardly.

"Anana?" The moron trio chirped, peeking on us. They were pouting their mouths, blinking their eyes. They looked so idiotic in their expression.

Ivan's head popped out and embraced Kuya Min. "Ako kuya, pwede mo isama?" she asked.

Kuya just yanked her. "Maging matalino ka muna, isasama kita," he lied.

The moron trio ran out from the bathroom, yelling an alien song. "Bido, bido. Iseme me keme, Keye," they chimed.

Kuya stood up from his seat, holding a ladle with him. He aimed the ladle at the moron, but they just laughed and ran around.

"Aalis na ako, bukas," he uttered that made me drew out my food from chewing.

"What?" I exclaimed, throwing deadly glares at him. "Hindi pwede ma-extend yan?" I yelled in disbelief. "Kuya, bukas agad?" I said, begging for his mercy.

He laughed softly at my reaction. "I trust you, Law," he remarked that made me more miserable.

"I don't trust them," I stared at my other siblings. I cried out loud.

IVAN

I covered my ears when my girlfriends screamed in horror. They grieved more compared to me when they found out that my older brother was leaving.

"Seryoso aalis na Kuya mo mamaya?" Lee queried. I nodded as I crossed my feet, seating comfortably at my classroom seat.

"Kelan ang balik?" Vie asked while she was busy surfing on her phone. I shrugged in response.

Jaeky cleared her throat. "May pasalubong ba?" she asked which made me throw a disgusting expression at her.

"Gusto mo ipadala kita doon at ipakatay?" I fumed, aiming my ballpoint in her.

She gave me a peace sign. "Joking," she said and giggled.

"So anu na balak mo?" Abril asked, standing in front of me and crossing her arms. She stared at me as she waits for my answer.

"Maghahanap ng isa pangtrabaho," I replied in doubt, fixing my ruined hair tie.

Archie cackled. "Mas mabuting tumigi sa part-time. Magiging sakit ka lang sa ulo," she suggested that made me rethink.

Eurika bobbed her head slowly. "Para hindi ma-stress si Lawrence," she said shyly.

My eyes squinted. "Isusumbong kita kay Lawrence na crush mo siya," I threatened. She gasped and blushed all over her face.

"Good luck," Vie cheered.

I slightly pumped a fist. "Yes naman," I shouted.

"Miss Yuginawa, kindly lower down your voice," Sir Ash growled from his table.

I slightly smacked my lips. "Sorry, Sir."

Suddenly a bright idea came to my mind. I remembered hubby's—I mean Sir Ash's offer. I gasped, imagining to be his maid.

Malaki na ang sweldo ko, pogi pa amo ko. Idagdag pa na hubby and wifey kami. Isa pa, tingin ko, masharap ang punishment ni Sir.

I giggled that made Sir Ash cleared his throat. I covered my mouth and celebrated inside my head.
