You Are A Drug Lord[1]

Nicolas went to Miguel who was still talking on the phone.

"Miguel"

Immediately Miguel dropped the call. He was terrified but he tried to hide it

"Oh, Nicolas wh...what are you doing here? For how long have you being here? "

"Not quite long. I just got here"

"I was just talking to Dino. I was thinking if he can still join us but he is too busy, he can't" he lied.

"Oh, okay"

Why did Miguel have to lie to Nicolas? Are they not friends? Could he be hiding something?

"Let's go. I think we should go and eat now"

"Okay"

They went to McDonald and ordered for food. They have chicken Inasal, Pancit, canton, Spring rolls, spaghetti, Rice, fruit salad, rice cakes, yum burger, Mamon, Tabo, siopao.

They had lots of fun.

.....

Later at night....

At Gulod, Novaliches

Miguel brought Nicolas and his family home.

"Thanks so much Miguel. We had a lot of fun"

"Hahaha, that's nothing. We had fun too.Thanks for coming because if not for you we wouldn't have had much like we had today"

"We will be going inside now, I think this children are feeling sleepy" Elvira said.

"Okay, Elvira take care" Camia said

Elvira immediately took the children inside.....

"We will be leaving now" Miguel smiled.

"Thanks again, Miguel"

Nicolas waved at them and watch them leave. He entered his room and saw Leonel on his bed.

"Oh Leonel, what are you doing here? Are you not suppose to be in your room?

"Nope" he said immediately.

"Huh" he was speechless.

"Carissa, come now, dad has already agreed for us to stay in his room" Leonel called out loud. He has always been sleeping in his own room and never got the chance to spend a night with his parent. This was the perfect time to stay in his parents room.

Carissa ran to her brother and jump on the bed.

"Carissa, we are going to sleep here tonight, do you agree?"

"Yes"

"Hey guys, hold on, I did not agree to any of this"

"We will stay with you and mommy tonight" they entered the blanket.

"But....."

Nicolas wanted to spend this night with his wife; only his wife, but how will he tell his children that...

"Tatay, can you please tell us a story" Leonel asked.

"A story?"

"Yes tatay"

"Okay, I have one to tell you. Nasreddin Hodja admired his neighbor's kettle a lot. It was big and beautiful, painted and glazed in many colors. He wanted that kettle for himself.

He went to his neighbor and said, "My dear neighbor, I need to borrow your kettle. The neighbor did not like Hodja but he was pious man and gave the kettle away. He took the kettle and promised to return it the next day.

Many days passed and there was no sign of the kettle. He went to Hodja's house and called "neighbor, I have been waiting for so many days, why did you not bring my letter back"

Hodja replied, "oh my friend, you came at a wonderful time. Your kettle was actually in a delicate condition and she gave birth to a little kettle. I was only waiting for the small kettle to be strong enough so I could bring the mother and the child kettle to you"

So saying, Hodja handed over the neighbor's kettle, along with a small one back to him. The neighbor was amazes and overjoyed. Could the kettle have really given birth?

By the time he was done telling the story, his children were already sleeping. He looked at their faces and kissed their foreheads. The only thing that has made him happy is his children and wife, no other thing. He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.

Elvira entered the room and met her children and husband sleeping. She smiled and covered them with a blanket. She looked at Nicolas.

Many years ago, she met Nicolas in pandan. They started dating. Today they have been married for seven years and have two kids. Nicolas continues to consistently show the characteristics of a man who loves his wife in the same way he did when they were in panday.

She lay down beside Carissa and kissed her.

"Goodnight mahal"

.....

At San Mateo street, Paco.

Mr lao got to their meeting point. It was a big ware house. A dark jeep was seen coming towards them, it reaches the ware house. Miguel got down from the car with his men in black carrying firearms. He was putting in a black suit and black glasses.

He went directly to Mr lao, a Chinese business man and they entered the ware house. The ware house was surrounded with guards.

They entered a room containing two sofas and a glass table in the middle. The wall was painted in cream color.

"Mr lao, you may have your sit"

"Thank you"

"So let's talk about business. What do you want me to do for you? " Miguel asked

"I want to buy the product"

"Actually, we produce not less than seven hundred kilos of Shabu [crystal methamphetamine] in a day and we have special qualified scientist that produce it"

"Does it have the magic"

"Yes, I think I should take you to the laboratory" Miguel led him downstairs and they entered a room. It was a very big room painted in white with many people dressed in white gown producing a sort of illegal drugs using laboratory apparatus and scale.

"This is the laboratory, Mr lao"

"This is so grand, Mr ocampo"

"Yes, I have worked very hard for my wealth". Miguel took out the Shabu and gave it to Mr lao. He sniffed the Shabu.

"Aha....it really has the magic"

"Yes, that is why people from Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, China get this Shabu delivered from me"

He whispered to his personal assistant, "Okay, I will get three hundred kilos from you"

"That will be delivered to you tomorrow's night at San Juan"

"Deal" they shook their hands.

....

At blue bridge A, Quezon City

It was ten in the night. Camia heard the honking of a car coming towards the house. She knew it's her husband so she rushed downstairs and burst onto her husband.

"Hey, what's the problem" Miguel asked.

"Nothing, I have been waiting for you. Why are you late?"

"I told you that I will be having a meeting today with a business client, didn't I?

"You did but I was so worried about you" she was still worried

"Okay, stop worrying. I'm tired,can we just go to bed now" they walked to the room.

"How was your meeting with the business client" she asked

"It was okay, Mr lao is actually easy to deal with. He agreed on buying three hundred kilos of Shabu from us"

"That's good"

"So how is our legal business" he asked

"It's fine, we had a lot of customers today. I was kind of stressful"

"How is karen" he asked.

"She is in her room sleeping. She has been waiting for you but I told her not to because you will be coming home late"

"I am feeling sleepy" he lay down on the bed and cover himself with a blanket.

"Okay. Sweet dreams" she turned off the light and slept off
