The Mafia's Baby (Completed)

15

Chapter 15

This is the first time I will introduce a woman to Dad. He was happy to know that I was interested in a girl again. Rumehistro ang pagkamangha sa mukha ni Bella ng bumaba na kami kotse. Matagal ko na gusto ipakita ang victorican inspired manor namin.

“Chaotic.” hinila niya yung sleeves ko. She's obviously mesmerized. “May princess ba nakatira d'yan? Bakit hindi mo sinabi sakin may palasyo ka pala?”

I laughed softy. I patted her head and held her hand. I took a minute to look at her gentle face.

“No. There's no princess in there...”

“Kailangan kaya ako magkakaroon ng palasyo?” She wondered.

“I will build you a palace in the future.”

“Talaga? Pangako mo 'yan ha! Walang bawian!” Aish. Parang masyado ko na siyang bini-baby. Hinawakan ko na yung kamay niya at umakyat na kami sa mahabang staircase.

I ordered the maids to help Baby bathe and change clothes.  I went straight to my room and took a shower. I want Bella to be presentable when I introduce her to Dad. Tumunog yung phone sa room ko. It was Jose ang consigliere/right hand ni Dad. Pinapatawag daw ako ni Mafia Lord dahil may importanti siyang sasabihin.

“Hello son! I'm so proud of you!”

May halong pagtataka ako ng yakapin ako ni Dad. “Why dad?” I asked confusely.

“Because you bring a girl in here, Isa lang ibig sabihin niyan... Hohoho! Magkaka-apo na ako.”

Come on. Hindi pa pala siya nakakalimot tungkol sa bagay na 'yan. He's the Mafia Lord of Black Sinner, kapag gusto niya makukuha niya, by crook or by hook. Tch. I don't want to be like him. Though, I admired him for being the best father on earth. Pantay ang pagmamahal at attention na binibigay niya sa'min ni Clint. Noong mga bata pa kami kahit pagod sa trabaho at maraming nakatambak na duties. He will spear time to play with us. He didn't rush us to become an adult. He let us enjoy our childhood kaya nga nagsusumikap akong sumunod sa yapak niya.

“Not yet dad.” may ngiti sa labi na sagot ko.

“You're so slow.” Clint said behind me.

“And you? You're the older one... You should have kids right now... Dad, bakit ako pini-pressure niyo?” kunot noo na sabi ko sa kanila. Dad amusingly stared at me. Is there something wrong in my face?

“You've changed a lot since this girl came into your life son. Nakikita ko umaliwalas na 'yung mukha mo. You made me worried that what If one I'll be gone sino na ang susuporta sa'yo? Sino na ang pro-protekta sa inyo kapag wala na ako?”

Sumikip ang dibdib ko. I don't want to think about that thing. I know dad isn't getting younger. If ever I could turn back the time I would love to play with his lame games and hear his silly jokes yet... he's still here I'll make him proud.

“Don't say that dad... We will protect you...” I genuinely said. This is the first we had heart to heart talk since ages. Tinapik ni Clint yung balikat ko. Ngayon umiiyak na siya.

I can tell dad is also preventing his tears too. I'm guessing namana ko sa kanya ang pagiging marupok. I'm such a soft boy like my dad and sometimes heartless when we have to.

“Let's change into serious topic, nakatakas si Esmael, we're still tracing his whereabouts.”

Sumakit yung ulo ko bigla nang marinig ang masamang balita kay Dad. Esmael is our former caporegime/the captain. Dad fired him because we found out he had a connection to the Blood Crown Mafia.  He does an inside job to give top secret information to Mafia Queen Dyleah Grimhilde, My mom. We have not killed him yet because we want to know the motive of that woman. Iyong huling assassination attempt ko, ay order mula sa kanya. She really want me dead at sa tingin ko may gusto niya nakawin ang demon's weapon sa pangangalaga ko.
