"Gosh this day is exhausting I swear. I wanna go home and just stay in my bed for 1 month" reklamo ni Aya habang naglalakad sila sa hallway ng school nila.
Its almost 5 in the afternoon at kakadismiss lang sakanila. They do a lot of activity today, PE practicum, Quiz sa English and Filipino, Laboratory on Science, and take a shoot for their practicum on broadcasting activity. Halos hindi na nila alam ang uunahin, hindi na rin nila nagawang maglunch o magsnacks dahil natagalan sila sa shooting ng video project nila.
"I want to eat" wika ni Eli
Halos hindi na sila umuusad na naglalakad, sa dami ba naman nilang bitbit.
"Me too, Im starving to death plus yung pagod na nararamdaman ko. Whoo San Pedro marami pa akong pangarap sa buhay, huwag muna" wika ni Aya.
Binatukan naman ng mahina ni Eli ang kaibigan sa sobrang ka-oa-han.
"Andiyan na sundo mo?" Eli asked. Tumango agad si Aya.
"What about you?" Aya Asked back
Sakto at nagring ang phone ni Eli at si Doc Irene iyon kaya sinagot niya.
"Hello love, nakauwi ka na from school?" Bungad na tanong ni Irene
"Hindi pa po, Its our dismissal na. Tatay Roger is not yet home so baka sumabay po ako kay Aya"
"Oh We're on our way to your school. Kami nalang magsundo sayo, is it okay honey?"
"You're with?"
"Doc Lawrence hun, okay lang ba? Were going to have dinner but its too early so I decided to fetch you muna since I miss you na" napangiti si Eli.
"Am I invited to that dinner as well?" Biro niya
"Of course if you want anak. Just message your dad na isasama ka namin"
"Okay okay, I'll see you later Doc. Take care po" she said and ended the call.
Dumiretso na si Aya sa Parking dahil nandun ang sundo niya while Eli naman ay nagtungo sa guard house para hindi na need pumasok ng school nila Irene.
Halos 10 minutes lang ang nakalipas nang dumating sila Irene, hindi pa inakala ni Eli na sila yun dahil di naman pamilyar ang sasakyan nila.
Lumapit siya agad kay Irene at bumeso rito, Lawrence offered a fist bump to her kaya nagfist bump sila sabay tawa.
"May date kayo?" Asar ni Eli habang inaayos ang dalawang bag
"Gosh masasabunutan ko talaga si Hannah and Ara for influencing you on teasing us" reklamo ni Irene
"Sus, Doc Lawrence nililigawan mo na ba mommy ko?" Tanong ni Eli.
Napailing iling nalang si Irene at mukhang hindi niya na mapipigilan ang anak
"Stop it El, baka mapikon ang mommy mo ako ang pagbuntungan. Masungit pa naman yan sa akin pag napipikon" natatawang wika ni Lawrence kaya tumawa rin si El.
"Where do you want to eat El?"
"Its still early for dinner but can we eat na? We didn't have time for recess and didn't eat lunch. Im starving" agad na lumingon si Irene sa kanya na para bang di nagustuhan ang narinig sa anak
"Why didn't you eat lunch? Myghad Eli, I told you not to skip meals specially when you're here at school"
"I swear I badly want to eat but we're running out of time. Andami po naming ginawa ngayon at halos wala kaming time kahit uminom ng water" she said.
Irene just heaved a deep sighed.
"Next time, make time to eat kahit saglit lang. Ano ba Eli" reklamo ni Irene
