"Sandrew Hayle Allwyn Styles!" Muli kong pag tawag sa anak ko, habang nag susuot ng sapatos ko. And again, still no response.

Napa buntong hininga ako at umirap saka tumayo at nag lakad papunta sa kwarto niya.

"Sandrew!" Pag tawag kong muli, kasabay ng pag bukas ko ng pinto ng kwarto.

"Ah tang ina mo! Patay kang hayop ka! Enemy legendary daw oh!" Tuwang-tuwang sigaw naman nito, habang intense na pumipindot sa cellphone niya. Naka higa pa din siya sa higaan at naka suot pa din ng sando at boxers.

"Hoy, ginoo! Hindi ka papasok?" Medyo inis ko ng tanong, placing my hands on my hips.

"Teka lang nay." Sagot nito, not even taking his eyes off his phone. My goodness!

"Anong teka lang? Kanina pa kita tinatawag, kanina ka pa gising, hanggang ngayon nandiyan ka pa din, naka kakain, naka ligo, bihis na ako ikaw ano na? Aga-aga ml inatupag mo." Pangangaral ko, crossing my arms and walking towards him.

"First blood!"

"Sandrew!"

"Nay! Rank kasi 'to e!" Angal nito.

"Wala akong pake! Tigilan mo 'yan." Nang gigigil na utos ko.

"Ito na po, tapos na." Sabi niya and finally, binitawan na ang cellphone, kaya agad ko na yun kinuha para sigurado na hindi na siya ulit mag lalaro pag alis ko.

"Mauuna na ako, bilisan mo na din para hindi ka ma-late! Jusko naman!"

"Nay, two weeks na lang graduation na, wala na naman ginagawa, bakit pa kailangan pumasok? Nakaka tamad ih." Pag aangal nito.

"Gusto mo tamadin din ako mag bigay ng allowance sa'yo?" Naka ngiti kong tanong. Agad naman itong tumayo sa higaan niya.

"Tamad, sinong tamad? Liligo na nga ako e. See you in school, nay." Sabi nito, sabay halik sa pisngi ko at dumeretso sa banyo. Napa iling na lang ako.

I'm currently seating on one of the chairs sa meeting room, while awaiting for our principal and the rest of the faculty to arrive. We are going to talk about the finalization para sa upcoming graduation field trip ng mga grade 12 students.

Napa tingin ako sa katabi kong upuan nang may umusod dito. Looking up, I saw my best friend and fellow teacher Nathaniel Johnson. He hands me a cup of coffee bago umupo sa tabi ko. Every weekdays kasi, talagang naka sanayan na namin na salitan ilibre ng kape ang isa't-isa.

Nate has been my best friend ever since we are in college, we are there for each other in every possible way. We got no secret with each other, we know one another more than we probably know ourselves. We're partners in law and crime. Kahit anong activities dito sa school, lagi kami pinag te-team up. Hanggang ngayon, ito pa din kami, our friendship's going strong. Pati anak ko, outside school tito Nate tawag sa kaniya.

Minsan pa nga, sa sobrang close namin, yung fellow teachers namin lagi kaming inaasar sa isa't-isa. Even some of our students, akala kami. But no, we're just best friends. At isa pa, I'm not planning to open my heart to anyone yet. Gusto ko muna mag focus kay Sandrew, dahil almost two years ago pa lang naman when he gave me a chance to be his mother again.

I got pregnant kay Sandrew when I was only 18 years old. Dahil alam kong hindi ko pa siya kayang buhayin, I gave his custody to his father and his wife who was murdered a year ago. I know I'm stupid and naive back then.
