The Mafia King's Son-in-law

Chapter 6: She cooked for me

Stefan

I can't help but smile every time I remember what happened that night.

Finally I was able to claim my wife. We have already consummated our marriage. At mas lalong wala na akong plano na pakawalan pa siya.

Actually, I want to claim her again and again. But it was her first, which is why she has to recover first. I don't want to see her hurt. Pero hindi ko na napigilan ang sarili ko na angkinin siya.

Well, kasalanan naman niya dahil ginalit niya ako. Pero mukhang nakabuti naman ang ginawa niyang pagsubok na tumakas, because I've already marked her now.

Kahit papaano ay progress na rin itong maituturing sa aming relasyon.

My wife is so beautiful. Kaya hindi niya ako masisisi kung bakit bantay sarado siya kahit na nasa ibang bansa siya ng ilang taon. Kailangan kong siguraduhin na walang ibang makakaporma sa asawa ko.

Mabuti na lang, I have her father's consent. And besides, I am her husband. Kaya naman sa akin na siya pinaubaya ng kaniyang ama.

I know that she still hates me. But at least now there is a little hope for me. The fact that she responded to my kisses means that somehow, Shane has feelings for me too. Maybe she is trying to conceal it because of her anger towards me.

But it's okay. I have a lot of patience for her. I am willing to wait until she finally accepts my love for her. Right now, I'm going to cherish what we have. I'm going to use this chance to make her feel how much I love her.

I ended my meeting with the board of directors of the Marquez Group of Companies.

Maliban sa mga pasugalan at pautangan na negosyo ni Papa ay mayroon din naman itong mas legal na negosyo. At ito ay ang Marquez Construction Company. Kaya naman, hindi lang ang mga pasugalan at pautangan ang inaasikaso ko. But for now, Papa Santiago, give me a break. Pero hindi puwedeng hindi ako maging updated sa negosyo dahil sa mga kakumpetensiya namin.

I enter the master bedroom and walk towards the bathroom. Nang bigla itong bumukas at lumabas si Shane na nakatapis lang ng tuwalya.

Napasigaw ito sa gulat nang makita ako saka nagmamadaling bumalik sa loob ng banyo.

"Ano ba? What are you doing here?" sigaw nito mula sa loob ng banyo.

"Nakakalimutan mo ba na kwarto natin ito? And besides I already seen all of you. Wala ka ng maitatago sa akin," I said to her. I tried opening the bathroom door but it seems that she locked it.

"Puwede ba? Lumabas ka muna!" sigaw na naman nito.

"I need to use the bathroom,"

"Marami namang banyo sa bahay na ito, ah. Doon ka muna sa bathroom sa ibaba," susog nito sa akin.

"Alright, lalabas na ako. You can go out now," I said.

"Lumabas ka muna! Saka lang ako lalabas dito kapag wala ka na riyan," paniniguro nito.

Napapailing na humakbang na ako palabas ng kwarto.

"Okay, I'm going out now." Nangingiti na lumabas na ako ng kwarto. Baka hindi ko na naman mapigilan ang sarili ko kapag nakita ko ang asawa ko na nakatapis lang ng tuwalya.

I decided to go to the pool area. I guess I need to swim to kill the heat that ignited in my body when I saw my wife.

Pagkatapos ko na makailang balik ng langoy sa magkabilang dulo ng pool ay nagpasya akong magbabad muna sa gilid ng pool.

Wala dapat akong sinasayang na oras. Mahalaga ang bawat oras sa negosyo. I shouldn't be here relaxing like this. But my relationship with Shane is more important than business or the organization. That's why I agreed with his dad to take a break for a while now that Shane is back in the country.

Hindi ko na hahayaan na umalis pa siyang muli at iwan ako. Kaya gagawin ko ang lahat para makuha ang loob niya habang nandito kami. Sisiguraduhin ko na wala na siyang kawala sa'kin.

I closed my eyes for a while. Pero naramdaman ko na may mga mata na nakamasid sa'kin. Kaya napadilat ako. And I saw my wife looking at me. I winked at her. Inirapan naman ako nito.

I can feel that she is starting to loosen up. I know that it won't take that long; she will reciprocate my feelings for her.

Pagkatapos kong magbabad sa pool ay naligo na ako. Mag-gagabi na kaya kailangan ko ng ipagluto ng makakain ang asawa ko.

But I was surprised when I went to the kitchen and smelled something delicious.

And I saw Shane cooking something.

"Amoy pa lang, mukhang masarap na." I murmured while smelling her neck.

"Ako o itong niluluto ko?" Nakataas ang kilay na tanong nito sa akin.

I chuckled.

"Of course, both," I answered. "You don't have to cook. I should be the one doing that." I told her.

"Are you thinking that I'm not good at cooking? Or, maybe you are thinking that I might poison you?" Nakapewang na tanong nito sa'kin.

"I didn't mean that. Ang sa akin lang is that I brought you here; that's why I want to serve you," I explained to her.

"Well, you don't have to do that," she said, saka nito ibinalik ang atensyon sa niluluto.

"But I want to," giit ko pa.

"Look, ayokong magmukhang walang silbi. All my life, ikaw na lang palagi ang magaling para kay dad. Pati ba naman sa pagluluto?" may himig ng sama ng loob sa boses nito.

I sighed, then made her look at me holding her on her shoulder.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you feel that way. Hindi ko ginusto na agawin ang atensyon ng dad mo. It's just that the mafia thing is not for you. Kaya naghanap siya ng ibang pwede niyang i-train na makakatulong niya sa negosyo. But believe me, Shane, your dad loves you so much."

"If he really loves me, he will give me time. And he will never force me to marry someone he chose for me," she said to me, then went back to what she was doing. "Malapit na itong maluto. Prepare the table." Utos nito.

"Okay, wife. I will do that," I respond to her.

Alam ko na malalim ang sama ng loob niya sa amin ng daddy niya. And I'm willing to wait until she finally understand us. And forgive us as well. Sa ngayon, malaking development na para sa akin ang ganito. We are able to talk without shouting at each other. And she even cooked for me.

Actually, I'm excited for our dinner tonight. But I'm more excited after dinner.

I grinned.
