Nights With Mage Lastra Del Russo

Chapter 4

Saan naman kaya dinala ng babaitang yun ang secretary ko? Sana naman ay wala syang gawing kalokohan sa kanya. Baka kasi bigla na lang ito mag resigned and iwan na naman ang 'sang katutak na trabaho. f**k I can't work without a secretary. I just sip on my coffee to keep me calm.

*Ring *

Patingin ako sa aking cellphone na nakalapag sa may lamesa. I loosen my tie. I saw Xyan's name on the caller, I smile and answer the call.

"Whats Up, Did Ate Thana came there?" He immediately said when I pick up the call, well as usual his looking to his Ate again.

Xyan was also my cousin and he is the youger brother of Thana pero mas matured pa mag isip kesa sa kanya.

" She was here earlier but when she saw my secretary ,she immediately drag her somewhere" I said sighing. What the f**k is she thinking anyway?

"She never changed. Thats usually and you need to be used to it Kuya Mage. " Sa tono ng boses ni Laz it's sound like na sinasapu na niya ang kanyang noo. Sobrang pasaway kasi ng ate nya at mas mukha mature pa si Laz sa kanya kahit na ang laki ng tanda nya dito.

" Bakit mo pala sya hinahanap?" I ask and take a sip on my coffee again. I heard him sigh deeply. Mukhang may problema.

" Ayaw ni ate na sabihin ko kahit kanino 'to but I can't take this anymore, Leto is cheating on her and she keeps on loving that bastard!" Inis na sabi ni Laz. Sabi na nga ba at tama ako. That s**t really getting to my nerves. I sigh and lean on my chair.

" So it was true, ang lakas naman ng loob nyang mag loko sa isang Del Russo, Did he know that if he mess with a Del Russo his missing the whole family of Del Russo already?. He don't know what we capable of," I said with a full of confidence. Will it's true. Walang hindi kayang gawin ang pamilya namin.

"She even told me that she'll take care all of this mess tsaka sinabi niya pa na babalik din daw naman sakanya si Leto." Xyan clapped sarcastically

"I wanted to kill that man but I couldn't, I've told you this to inform you about Ate Thana's Situation." I know how mad Laz right now but we can't make a move na sisira sa anong planong naiisip ni Thana. All we have to do is wait.

"I Hope she fix this right away, Thank you for informing me Laz. Ang kaylangan na lang natin ay ang mag tiwala sa ate mo." I sigh and rest my back on the chair.

"You have a point. She's old enough to handle those stuff but I'll support her still, kahit na malibog pa ang kapatid kong 'yun. Ayoko lang na nasasaktan ang mga babaeng malalapit sa buhay ko." He said sighin knowing Laz, nag titimpi lang din sya ng galit paea hindi nya masugod si Leto. A moment of silence surround us. I just waiting for Laz to speak again, but I guess he was spacing out again and thinking of something.

"Wala ka bang deliver ngayon?" Basag ko sa katahimimang nag hahari sa aming paligid.

" huh? Kaylan pa ako naging delivery man?" Nag tatatakang tugon nya sakin. I just chuckled and brush my hair.

"You must hurry up and deliver your goods or else, wala ng oorder sayo." I said while smiling. I put my hand on my table. Sandali pa siyang nag isip.

"Oh c'mon kuya, you're making fun of my name again." He said with a mix of irritation. I just laugh at lalo pa siyang inasar. Ilang sandali lang din ay nagpaalam na siya at binaba ang tawag.

I sigh when I realized na ako na lang mag-isa ang nasa loob ng aking opisina. Thana snatch my secretary and leave her paper works again. Napakamot na lang ako ng ulo at muli nag siyasat ng mga papelis. I was browsing the papers when I realize na ilang minuto na din akong nakaupo at umaasang ibabalik ni Thana secretary ko. I have to call her. I immediately dial he number na agad naman niyang, thank goodness.

"Please Thana paki balik naman ng Secretary ko, i need her," at please lang bumalik ka na din ang dami pang dapat gawin dito.

" Ill send my secretary kuya, bukas na papasok si Yuki. Wag ksng magreklamo, matutuwa ka naman sa ginawa ko." Napahilot na lamang ako sa aking ulo dahil sa sinabi nya.

"I hired Yuki para maging secretary ko, hindi shopping buddy mo. " She's such a paim to me. He always leave his work here at pupunta kung saan-saan kaya hindi agad natatapos ang ginagawa nya saka lang sya gagaaa after nya pag pakalunod sa alak.

" Ngayon lang naman, bukas talaga

Tatapusin ko na yung mga pinapagawa mo---" Biglang naputol ang pag sasalita ni Thana, nag taka naman ako dahil hindi na nya natapos ang sinasabi nya.

" hello? Thana still there?" Bigla nya namang binaba ang tawag. Agad akong napalingon sa screen ng aking cellphone. May problema kaya. Hindi ako basta-basta binabaan ng tawag ni Thana, except na lang pag nasa bar sya. Did she bring Yuki to ths bar ? What the? Sumanda talaga to sakin bukas. But now kaylangan ko munag problemahin ang mga gabundok na papelis na kaylangan ireveiw at pirmaham as soon as possible.

After ko pirmihan ang iba sa mga papel. I immediately go home at agad ns dumeretso sa mini bar dito sa bahay namin. Nag salin ako ng brandy sa aking baso at umupo sa isa sa mga stool dito.I loosen my tie and remove my suit and leave the polo. I sigh when words of Hestia came out from my mind. I want to know why they blaming me for such thing like that.

I sip the last drop of the brandy on my glass and hurry up and go to bed, hindi ako pwede mag pakalasing dahil maaga pa akong papasok bukas and I hope Athanasia will come early too.

Kokonyatan ko na talaga yung batang yun. Dagdag pasakit sa buhay. I slowly close my eyes para makapag pahinga I'm so stress and I want to have a good rest.

.

I wake up early para maaga ding makapasok, hindi sa excited akong pumasok para makita ang ginawa ni Thana kay Yuki, maaga ako para masermonan ko sila pareho. As soon as I step on ghe building staff greeting me good morning, I just nodded bilang tugon ko sa kanila. I heard some of them murmuring about my secretary Yuki. I juts pass them at deretso lang sa pag lalakad hanggang makarating ako sa aking opisina. Agad naman akong sinalubong ng isang maganda babae na singkit ang mata at mala-rosas ang pisngi at labi. She was smiling awkwardly to me. Bakit nakatakot ba ako tingnan?

"Good morning Sir Mage." The girl said and bow , lumaglag naman ang mahaba nyang itim na buhok. I know that voice.

"Yuki, is that you?" I asked, she look at me and awkwardly nooded. Bahagyang Napaawang ang aking mga labi sa aking nakikita. Yuki was totally different from Yesterday. She was so beautiful to the point na hindi ko na sya nakilala.

"Y-yes sir, Ma'am Athanasia said that I should be more presentable as your secretary." Nahihiya nyang wika at pilit na hinihigit ang kanyang suot na black halted dress. I was stanned by her looks today, it feels like she was shimmering in my eyes. Lalo pang gumanda ang mga mata nang mawala ang salamin nya. "Sir Mage?"

"You look gorgeous Yuki,"

"Sir?" I snapped out when Yukie look at me into my eyes. She was blushing, may nasabi ba ako? Oh s**t? Why did I said those words? Tsk.. This is your fault Thana.

" I-I said get me a double brewed black open, and be careful of handling it, ayoko matapunan uli ng kape," Matapang na wika ko upang matakpan ang aking kahihiyan at agad syang nilagpasan.

" Ye-YES SIR !" She shouted, she don't need to shout I can hear her. Agad akong pumasok sa aking opisina at umupo. I covered my face nang muli kong naalala ang aking kahihiyan.

Ano bang nangyayari sakin? Tsk... I swear to God na pag dating ni Thana makakatikim sya ng malutong na konyat muli sakin.

I sigh at inayos ang mga papel sa lamesa ko. I wear my glasses at nag simulang mag siyasat ng mga papel.
