Chapter 27 : From Charlene

[ A L E X E I ' S  P O V ] 

"Waaaah! Ang cute talaga niya! Kamukhang kamukha pa niya si Mommy Alex." malungkot na turan ng babaeng kakakilala lang namin kanina nang sumulpot siya bigla sa likuran namin. Kanina pa siya dada nang dada dito sa mga nagbago dito sa ekwelahan at kung gaano ka-cute ang kapatid namin pero ito lang ang pahayag niya na nagkaroon ako ng interest. 

Nandito lang kaming tatlo sa hindi kalayuan para pagmasdan ang naglalaro naming kapatid kasama ang ilang bata na anak ng ilang empleyado dito. Lahat sila may mga nakakasilaw na ngiti. Mga ngiti na nararapat lang matamo ng bunso naming kapatid na wala naman talagang kaalam alam sa ginagawa ng pamilya namin. "Mommy? For you information ----" before I could continue uttering my words, she cuts me off. 

Nawala naman ang kwela at masayahin niyang mukha mula kanina pa at kasabay ng pagbuntong hininga niya ay ang pag-usbong ng seryosong ekspresyon niya. "Yes, I do know that the three of you were Lady Alexandria and Lord Spade William's children. You are the eldest, Alexei. The second offspring is Finn while that little one is Valor. I've met your parents before. In this same school. And I can still remember that time when I was playing with the former ten heads while the two of them are watching over us in this same spot. I miss them so much." tila naluluha pa niyang pagsasakwento ng mga nangyari noon nung una niyang nakilala sina mom and dad. I won't be surprised if she's really that close to our parents since she's a mafia heiress but to think that she can be this emotional while mentioning our parents' names, I guess it's a whole different story. 

"Can I ask you, Miss Charlene?" Finn then asked. Nakuha naman nito ang atensyon namin. Abang napatango naman ng bahagya si Miss Veynn bilang tugon sa tanong niya. "What is your real relationship with our mother? You seem to be close to her. You can even notice even the slightest resemblance of our brother to our mother." medyo may pag-aalangan pang pagtatanong ni Finn sa kanya. 

Hindi naman na nabigla ang dalaga bagkus nagpakita lamang siya ng isang malungkot na ngiti sa kanyang mukha. "Well, let's just say that they became a one-day parents for me when my real parents dropped me here since they're so busy on their work. I am also one of the flower girls on their wedding. I've also been there in your baptism, Alexei. Nawalan lang kami ng koneksyon noong grumaduate ako sa high school." she said. 

So, she's a close friend of our family! But she doesn't look like someone who is older than me. To think that she's present in my baptism. However, putting that aside, I'm quite curious about what she said earlier. This place is hiding a lot of things. I want to know what she really means. Eversince we we're kids, we can only listen to our uncles and aunties' stories about their happy experiences during high school but nothing more. They brought me here twice but I never really did hear something about adventures here. This is Mhorfell Academy of gangsters. That's the only thing I'm certain of with this school. 

"Miss Veynn, can I talk to you for a few minutes?" pagtukoy ko namang muli sa kagalang galang na babaeng nasa tabi namin. Sunod naman akong napalingon kay Finn. "Could you watch over Valor for a bit? Don't worry, I'll tell you every detail later. Mahirap na kung gumagala ang notorious killer na si Samara ngayon." pakiusap ko sa kanya na ikinatango na lang naman niya. Sandali ko namang napansin ang tila makahulugang pagkurap ni Charlene sa may tabi. Nang mapagdesisyunan na ang lahat ay inalo ko naman si Charlene na maglakad na papalapit sa mga gusali ng eskwelahan.
