Teach me how to Mafia

29

A week after being sent home, I was escorted by a lot of men in black suit to the Central Blevins. As I expected, The house of the Zaccardis the Jilad was talking about is located in the Main land.

It was an hour travel from outside the village and this is where airlines are located. The central looks so different than how the village look. Since all we need are provided by the village's infrastructure, we don't often step our foot at the central.

"We will be flying to the mainland tomorrow, we'll see you there." Nilingon ko si Ares na nasa likod ko pala.

"Oh? Bakit nandito din kayo?" tanong ko dito. Nakatayo din kasi si Zoran sa likod niya.

"Ah, ihahatid ko si Zoran." A man in black suit, which I believe is one of my escort open the backdoor of Zoran's highlander and pull out a medium sized trolley.

"San ka pupunta?" tanong ko kay Zoran pero lumingon ito hindi ito sumagot.

"Aish, sungit." Umirap ako dito at narinig ko ang bahagyang pagtawa ni Ares.

And then I remembered the unanswered question I had had for a week and it was only Zoran who's left unasked.

"Zoran?" I called with the sincerest voice I can possibly mutter.

Lumingon naman siya sa akin at nang magtama ang aming mata ay hindi na ako nag atubiling itanong ang bumabagabag sa akin.

"Nasan si Evzen?" They gave me the same reaction as others who were asked the same question. His expression was the same as Jilad, too, the kind of expression that won't give you any answer.

I turn around as I already know the turnout of our mini Q&A. I headed towards the entrance of the airlines and did not glance at Zoran and Ares behind me.

An announcement for a flight to Guthrie was being called for boarding and I saw Zoran walk passed to my side but then stop. He's standing a little forward to where I am.

"We won't be by your side to protect you while you stay at the mansion. You have to be careful." He said and continued walking ahead of me.

He checked in and walk straight to the gates of his flight. What does he mean by 'be careful'? Of whom should I be careful? Or what? Aren't I facing the family? What the hell does he mean? Knowing him, he won't tell me anything specific unless it's much needed.

But why am I having this pang in my gut that tells me that I should heed to his words? The thing is, I am not certain of what should I be careful with. And what's he gonna do to Guthrie anyway?

Nang marinig ko ang announcement ng flight ko ay nagpaalam na ako kay Ares at saka pumasok na sa loob.

It will take hours before we get to the mainland so I decided to sleep the whole trip.

"Excuse me, milady. The plane is about to land." I opened my eyes as I heard someone say something. Bumungad sa akin ang isa sa mga escort ko at isang flight attendant.

"Can I get you something, milady?" Sabi no'ng babae. Umiling ako at sinenyasan siyang umalis. I'm still not used to this formality thingy. At hanggang ngayon ay nagugulat pa din ako pag nalalaman kong kahit saang lugar ako pumunta ay may Zaccardi na aasikaso sa akin.

Para akong VIP, well, I am technically an SVIP since I am the next boss of the family. But that doesn't change the fact that I'm not used to this. Kung kila Zoran nga ay naiilang ako paano pa sa mga hindi ko kakilala na bigla nalang lalapit para magbigay galang?

I was wondering if I was made into a saint because they bow so damm much.

Nang makalapag ang eroplano ay agad na kaming bumaba. Kinuha ko ang sling bag ko na pinaglagyan ko ng mga importanteng bagay at sumunod sa maskuladong lalaki na nasa harap ko.
