YUU: The Assassin MAID

CHAPTER 6

"You are one great fighter Ei." Nagulat ako sa nagsalita. Si Aron pala.

Nandito kami ngayon sa office ni Mr. Mon for updates sa work namin.

"What do you expect from an assassin?" Taas kilay kong tanong sa kanya.

Hindi sa nagyayabang ako. Hindi ko lang talaga sya feel. Parang di sya katiwa tiwala.

"I know you hated me for some reason I don't know. But please feel comfy when we're together. Mr. Mon trusted me so much. I expect you too."

Inirapan ko nalang sya sa sinabi nya. I don't wanna hear anymore from him.

"Ehem. Mukhang there's something to discuss about?" Panimula ni Mr. Mon habang salitan ang tingin nya saming dalawa ni Aron. Umirap ako.

I used to call him Mr. Mon when I was on kindergarten. He used to be my butler then. But it's opposite now. I am his son's secret assassin slash maid. Whatever.

"Ei? You're out of place. Are you with us?"

"Sorry Mr. Mon. I just missed someone." I winked at him.

I know he gets my gestures.

"Let's get back to discussion. As I was saying, my son will be having a party next week. We all know that this party is one of the big party we ever had. Last year pa to ni-ready. This is my son's oath-taking as one of my successor."

Next week na pala yun. Ang bilis naman yata. Monzur is just 21. Ang legal age ng pagiging successor saming mga assassin ay age 25. How come? Nagmamadali ba si Mr. Mon.

" Why so sudden? Mr. Mon. Monzur is just 21 right? And every clan's rules, at the age of 25 the successor will pledge for his thrown."

"Einna, I am not getting any younger. My heart's weak. I can't wait years to pass the thrown to my son." I saw sadness in his eyes.

Alam ko may hindi sinasabi si Mr. Mon sa amin. Aalamin ko iyon.

"Aron will be assign on field. Ikaw na bahala sa security. Ilang beses na natin yang na-dry run. I know it will be successful. I trust you that much Aron. And for you Einna, you will be my son's butler. Dress something you will not recognize. Play as if you're a boy or use aesthetic to change your features. Your goal is to keep Monzur safe and alive. I have heard that the owner of the thing my son stole will attend the party and seek for revenge. I trust you two my son's safety."

Tumango nalang ako sa sinabi ni Mr. Mon. Hindi ko alam kung anong sagot ni Aron. Hindi ko sya narinig na um-oo o nagsalita ng kung ano.

Maya maya pa ay natapos na ang meeting namin. Bakit kaya dalawa lang kami ni Aron ang nandito? Kung malaking event yun bakit kaming dalawa lang ang nagmeeting?

So weird. I don't know what to think. My head is full. I can't think properly.

"Hey, why is Master calling you Einna?" Aron asked while we're walking.

"None of your business dog." I hissed

"Sungit. I know you're hiding something. What is it?" Pangungulit nya sakin

"As if I'm going to tell you. Well, die thinking." I laugh

Sinundan pa rin nya ko hanggang sa parking lot ng mansyon ni Mr. Mon at di nya ko tinantanan.

"Sometimes Master was looking at you intently. Are you seducing him?"

Napataas ang kilay ko sa bintang nya. Nakakairita na sya. Kung patayin ko nalang kaya sya para manahimik na sya.

"Nagpapatawa ka ba? Me having a relationship with Mr. Mon? You're out of your mind." Napaismid ako sa kanya at sasakay na sana sa motor ng hawakan nya ang braso ko.

"You know I'm still curious. Why are you so sungit to me? Am I not trusty? You think I'm weird? Well I can't work when I have a workmate like you. You really are intimidating."

Para syang bakla na rant ng rant. Jusko. Bakit ba ganito ang mga nakakasama ko.

"You know, you should shut your mouth big time. Cause when I got pissed I'll blow your mouth shut." Sabi ko sabay sakay sa motor.

Bago ko mapaandar ang motor ay narinig ko pa syang sinabi ang salitang "sungit". Kaya nangiti nalang ako

Somehow he makes me feel comfortable awhile ago. Mukha naman syang di gagawa ng masama. Siguro nga I just judged him.
