Best and Worst Decision

Nakarating kami ng maayos sa Lingap Pangarap Home Institute, ang Orphanage na malapit sa aming eskwelahan.

"Hello! I am your ate Sapphire!" I smiled to the children. I didn't want to tell my last name baka isipin nilang ginagawa ko lang 'to dahil tatakbo si Papa bilang Mayor, although I'm not sure if Papa will.

"Ako naman si Ate Louisse!" Louisse smiled.

"I'm Ate Jessa!" Jessa gave her sweet smile.

"Ako naman ang pinakagwapo dito, Kuya Seus!" sabay smirk ni Seus na nagpangiti sa'kin.

"Hi! I'm Ate Rein..."

"Ako naman si Ate Sunny!" she waved her hand.

The children clapped their hands out with happiness.

We started to give them their merienda, "Hello andi, here's your food..."

Isa si Andi sa unang ipanikalala sa'min. Sinabi sa'min na bihira lang daw siya magsalita, dahil daw sa trauma, she was also often bullied about it.

"Amara, halika itali ko buhok mo, medyo mainit dito..." tawag sa'kin ni Seus.

"Maya na, okay lang ako," I smiled.

"One dot!" sabi n'ya.

"One dot!" sagot ko naman.

"Ikaw nalang, Sara, ayaw ni bebe, eh..." sabay tali ni Seus sa batang maliit.

"A-ate..." mahinhin na sabi ni Andrea, "b-boyfie mo p-po s'ya?"

Gulat akong napatingin.

"Bagay... po" bakat ang pagiging kabado ni Andrea.

I hesitantly nodded.

I didn't want to lie but she looked happy! 'tsaka first time n'yang magsalita muli!

"G-Good!" she gave me a thumbs up.

"Keep up the good work, Andeng!" I waved cutely. She just nodded.

"Hello, Ria, merienda..."

"Thank you po, Ate Sapphire!" bibong sagot niya.

"Welcome..."

"Ate, ano po 'yung one dot?" tanong n'ya. "Secret agents po ba ka'yo?"
