Mafia Boss 3: My Bodyguard

Chapter 42

The last time I remembered, I fell asleep in the private jet and when I opened my eyes again I was already in a room.

A very familiar room.

It was my own room in our house, here in Japan.

What the hell, I'm in Japan.

Dali-dali akong pumunta sa baba at hinanap sila Dad. Wala pa ring pinagbago ang bahay na ito. Kung anong itsura nang huling pumunta ako rito ay ganon pa rin hanggang ngayon. Except that, there's a lot of men in black in different parts of the house aside from the maids who are cleaning somewhere.

Seriously?

Wala akong nakita ni isa kanila Mom and Dad. I was about to go upstairs again to look for them at their study room but I was startled when I turned around I saw the kid. Yes, my Mother's son from different man.

I felt a pang of pain in my chest. Ngumiti ako ng mapait sa kaharap ko.

Gustong gusto kong magkaroon ng kapatid noon, pero ngayon na meron na, I don't know what to feel. Kapatid ko naman siya pero we don't have the same father. And that was the reason why Mom left us, she has another family here.

And what is he doing here anyway? Wala ba silang ibang bahay? Don't tell me dito nakatira ang bagong pamilya ni Mom?

If that's true, I would really go out from this house. Hindi ko gugustuhin na makita pa ang iba niyang pamilya.

"Nee-san, don't look at me like I've done something wrong."

Automatic na tumaas ang kilay ko. Bakit ba pati sa ugali manang mana sa akin? He's just more serious than I am. At tinawag niya pa akong Ate. Tsk.

"Where are they?"

He speaks Japanese telling me that they're in the study room. Iniwan ko siya doon.

I know every part of this house, I've lived in here for two years. Bago kami bumalik sa Pilipinas at iniwan ni Mom.

Hindi na ako kumatok. I just barged in. They immediately stopped from talking.

"Why am I here? What the hell am I doing here?"

"Sit first, Amira." Sabi ni Mom.

"Just tell me, bakit mo ako dinala dito. Bakit kailangan mo pa kaming takutin ng ganon?"

She sighed and massaged her temple. She stood up from her seat. Lumapit siya sa akin. She tried to touch me but I just stepped back.

"Miss na miss na kita, anak."

I scoffed and at the same time, it's like someone is twisting my damn heart. She's always saying that everytime we see each other and the impact of me is just so strong. I missed her too. I really do. Pero sa tuwing naalala ko iyong ginawa niya ay natatabunan ng galit, ng sakit, ng lungkot.

"I am going to explain everything... right now. Hear me first, anak..."

I heaved a deep sigh at tinungo ang couch. Sumunod silang dalawa sa akin. Dad was beside me squeezing my hand. Mom was in front of us.

"Gomenasai..." Huminga siya ng malalim. "I'm sorry I ordered someone to do that just for you both to be here... I'm scared. I'm just scared."

Kumunot ang noo ko. Anong ikinatatakot niya? Tumingin ako kay Dad at tango lang ang binigay niya sa akin.

"The reason... the reason why I left you two was to save you. Kayong dalawa ng Daddy mo. I... I wasn't an ordinary woman even before I and your Dad met. Ang pamilya ko...  Hindi sila mga ordinaryong tao lang."
