My weird girlfriend

complicated

Yugi's POV

Nakatulog ako. Akala ko nga hindi ako makatulog dahil sa kakaisip sa mukha ni Lei. Maganda naman pala siya.Bakit kaya niya tinatago ang mukha niya eh, maganda naman siya eh.

Lumabas ako ng kwarto ko para mapunta sa kusina. Ang bahay namin ni ate ay bungalow lang kaya hindi kasing laki ng bahay nina Matteo. Our father had taught us how to live a simple life eventhough meron naman kaming kakayahan mamuhay katulad ng ibang may kaya.

Ayon nga lang, hindi na katulad ang buhay namin ni ate ng mawala pareho ang parents namin. Ate Yuma assumed all the responsibilities. She always supports me to become a PBA player someday. Kaya hindi niya rin ako pinipilit na makialam sa kompanya and there has always a nagging thought in my mind that ate Yuma never wants me to be apart of the corporation.

Pumunta ako sa kusina. The light is on. Siguro nandito na siya at nakalimutan niyang patayin ang ilaw. But the door connecting to the back porch is slightly opened. Siguro andiyan siya sa likod.

I approached the door and about to call her name when I heard her talk aloud. Parang galit siya!

"No! How many times do I have to tell you na ako na ang bahala sa lahat?"-siya

Pero wala naman akong narinig na ibang boses kaya I assumed na sa phone niya ang kausap niya.

I know I should go back because listening to other's conversation is depriving someone's privacy but I was stilled by her next words.

"Tandaan mo to, no, no...You better paste this in your mind, I will never hesitate to kill you kung malalaman niya o sinoman ang tungkol dito. I've proven you many times that I know how to kill so don't try me!"

Napalunok ako ng laway.

What the hell was that?

Di ako nakaalis kaya nagkagulatan pa kami ng pumasok siya.

Nakita ko kung paano nagkulay suka ang muka ni ate.

"how long have been there?"-siya na nakatingin sa akin ng mataman.

I stare her back.

"Long enough to hear what I was not supposed to hear."-ako

"It was nothing."-siya

"You're killing anyone, wala lang?"-ako

"Yugi," inopen niya ang ref at kumuha ng tubig. "It's not what you think. Alam mo marami ang kalaban ni Dad sa business so a little threat won't harm them." Sabi niyang balewala lang.

"what exactly was that?"-ako

"It was Dad's client. He was blackmailing me to give him a huge amount of money para daw hindi niya sabihin sa kakompentensiya ang secret strategy ng company."

I stared at her. Should I believe her?

"What??"- siya and then laughed.

Nang hindi ako sumagot, nilapitan niya at niyakap.

"You've grown taller, babe...matangkad ka na sa akin ngayon. Listen, it was nothing. As if hindi mo ako kilala. Hindi ako nadadala sa mga banta. I fight back. You've known me for a long time. No one can intimidate me."-siya at ngumiti.

"Is everything fine?"-ako

Ngumiti siya at tumango.

"Everything's fine, babe."

Tumango ako.

"So, tell me about this girl you've been dating."-siya na kinagulat ko naman. Dating? Kanina lang kami lumabas ni Lei, nagkalat na ang balita?
