Officially Yours ( Book 2 )

Chapter 9

Deanna.

Wow, nalingat lang ako meron ng asungot agad. Saan sumulpot itong isa at nakadikit na agad kay Jema?

I just looked at Jema and the woman who's trying to wake Chelsea.

Can't she see that baby Chelsea is sleeping? Mamaya mag tantrums pa yan pag nagising ng wala sa oras.

Then the woman turned her attention to Jema. Tinignan nya ito ng malagkit.

Huh, bakit ganun, may kahulugan yata mga tingin nya?

Pero si Jema parang dedma lang or she didn't notice siguro yung tingin sa kanya.

Kahit kailan talaga, di pa rin nagbabago itong si Jema. Masyadong unaware sa mga taong nakapaligid sa kanya.

Di ba isa yan sa nagustuhan mo sa kanya?

Kagaya nung nangyari kay sir Karlo. Obvious na may gusto sa kanya yung tao pero feeling nya, friendship lang din habol sa kanya.

Eh ako malakas ang pang amoy sa mga ganyan. This woman definitely have a thing on Jema.

I was interrupted observing them kasi biglang nagising na si Chelsea. She smiled widely when she saw the woman.

"Teacher Vanie!" she said and put her little arms around the woman's waist.

"Hello, Chelsea. How's my favorite student?" sagot nung Vanie at yumuko sya para tignan ito at guluhin ang buhok.

"I'm fine. It's my birthday Teacher." Chelsea said pero naghihikab na naman.

"Of course, I didn't forget. Happy birthday, baby Chelsea." sabi uli nung Vanie sabay abot ng bitbit nyang maliit na bag.

"Thank you, teacher Vanie." excited na sabi ni Chelsea sabay bukas ng bag pero hindi nya mabuksan kaya tinulungan sya ni Manang.

Ah, teacher naman pala sya ni baby Chelsea. Kaya feeling super close?

Nag usap lang muna sila ni Jema about Chelsea and school stuff.

Mukhang tanga lang naman akong nakikinig sa kanila sa side.

Napatingin sa akin yung Vanie kaya napilitan si Jema na ipakilala ako dito.

"This is Deanna by the way, an old friend. We just bumped into each other today. I think she just arrived from the US?" she said na parang nagtatanong sa akin.

Oh, I forgot nga palang sabihin sa kanya na kadarating ko lang. Pero hindi naman nya kasi ako tinanong about it. So, how come she mentioned US?

She can't remember me, di ba? I smell something huh.

I nodded my head at Jema, confirming that I just arrived nga from the US.

"And this is Teacher Vanie, Chelsea's teacher at the nursery." Jema said to me.

"Nice meeting you Deanna." Vanie said after shaking my hand.

We exchanged pleasantries afterwards so I was able to observe her closely.

To be honest, she's pretty. Maputi at sexy rin. Kasing tangkad ko sya. Feeling ko mabait naman.

Uy, mukhang threatened ka Wong.

I can feel na close na close sya kay Jema at baby Chelsea. Sinundan pa talaga sila sa mall para bumati ng happy birthday?

May ganun ba talaga? Yung pati sa labas ng school, may communication pa ang teacher and student?
