Avoiding The Mafia (COMPLETED)

Chapter 4

I got distracted when I felt my phone vibrated inside my pocket. I'm currently on my third year medical student kaya as much as possible ayaw kong nadi-distract ako lalo pa at malapit nang matapos itong school year.

I secretly answer the call ng makita ko kung sino ito.

"I'm busy, I'll call you later," I whispered a bit irritated.

[But it's an emergency] rinig kong sabi sa kabilang linya before I ended the call.

I mentally rolled my eyes.

Simula ng mapadpad ako dito sa Paris ay hindi na ako bumalik kina dad. It's been three years since the last time I called them. I don't know if it's because galit ako kay dad or dahil busy ako masyado. I do sometimes think about them, especially my twin sisters but I couldn't muster a guts to call them adding the fact that I don't know what to tell them.

Mga around 7 PM ng natapos ang klase ko. I wonder what this emergency Cerene was talking about na nagawa pa akong tawagan kahit alam niyang nagka-klase ako?

I immediately left our room, fishing my phone in my pocket and dial her number. "I'm done saan ka?" I asked the moment she answer the call.

[Oh my Gosh, bilisan mo malapit na akong mamatay] hysterical niyang sigaw.

"What! What happened?" Hindi na niya sinagot ang tanong ko at na end ang call. Tinakbo ko ang kotse ko.

Napanganga ako pagkarating ko sa address na binigay niya. Isa itong malawak na kalsada na punong puno ng racing cars. Marami din ang tao na kasing edad lang namin.

I roamed my head with distaste wishing this isn't where she actually is.

This place screamed danger!

But to my dismay, nakita ko siya sa may gilid kasama ang mga kaibigan.

I grimaced as I walked toward them. "Wow! ito na ba ang malapit ng mamatay? Laughing like there's no tomorrow?" I said sarcastically.

"What did she says?" tanong nong kasama niya sabay irap sakin.

Hindi pinansin ni Cerene ang kaibigan. Itinuon niya ang buong attention sakin.

"We have a problem!" she said in a tone full of seriousness.

"What problem?" Pinanliitan ko siya ng mata.

Hindi pa nasasagot ni Cerene ang tanong ko ng may lumapit na lalaki sa amin.

The guy is handsome dahilan ng tilian ng mga kasamahan ni Cerene.

My eyebrow furrowed. God! Are they trying to flirt with this guy in front of me?

I don't want to judge them but I couldn't help it. It's the way they giggled that made me judge.

"So, accepting defeat without a fight?" nakangising tanong nong lalaki kay Cerene.

Humalukipkip ang kapatid ko. "That's exactly our problem Celene, pag di ako nakipag race mawawala cars natin?" nakasimangot niyang sabi.

I bkinked several times, processing what she had said and when I did.. I gaped in shocked.

"What the hell? Ako? Makikipag race?" I trailed off as I tried calming myself. "And why would my car be involved?" nanlalaking matang tanong ko, definitely mortified.

She sighed dramatically. "I'll explain later, right now ikaw muna makipag race," she said nonchalant as if this was normal.

"What! No way!"
