Nathania Jane Life's Journey

Chapter 54

On the way to school

HERMINIO: Will I fetch you after class? What time?

REGINA: Same time? Are you not going to your work? Parang ang dami mong oras para sunduin kami ah?

HERMINIO: I'll going straight to my work after dropping you two. My boss change my scheds, hanggang 5 lang ako sa work and she told me that I will take my weekends with my family. Unless there will be an emergency meeting or what.

REGINA: Parang ang lakas lakas mo sa boss mo ah? Wala bang g---

HERMINIO: She has a family, okay? She's just kind to her employee's. Kaya huwag ka nang mag-isip ng kung ano ano diyan.

REGINA: Okay. Huwag kang susulyap sulyap diyan! Focus on the road!

HERMINIO: Bakit ang tahimik naman ata ng prinsesa ko? Ate you not feeling well?

REGINA: How can she hear you if she's wearing a headset in full volume?! I guess she's still avoiding me.

HERMINIO: Paano niyo maaayos yan kung wala namang nagpaparaya? Hindi kayo sabay nagbreakfast. Magkasama nga kayo sa iisang sasakyan, hindi naman nakakapag-usap kase may nakabara sa tainga ng isa. Magkakasama kayo sa iisang school, pero ewanko lang kung magkakasama at magkikibuan kayo. Fix this before this day ends.

REGINA: I will, Hon. I'll go ahead. I love you *humalik na ito* Drive safe okay?!

HERMINIO: Are you not going to wait for this young lady?

REGINA: Is she going let me accompany her in walking?

THANIA: Bye, Dad! Drive safe, okay? I'll see you later. Drive safe, okay?! I love you *humalik tsaka na bumaba ng sasakyan*

HERMINIO: Bye! *Kumaway muna bago tuluyang umalis*

REGINA: I hope you don't mind if I go with you?

: Hi Ma'am!

: Good morning Ms. T! Akin na po mga bitbit mo Ma'am.

: Ako na po sa iba Ma'am.

REGINA: Thank you!

THANIA: I guess they're waiting for you po. I'll go ahead, Ms. T!

REGINA: Wait!

THANIA: Yes, Ms. T?

REGINA: Ahh mga anak? Pwede mauna na kayo sa room?

: Sige po Ma'am.

THANIA: They waited for you and you just let them go?! You shouldn't do it to you ‘ANAKS'.

REGINA: Can we talk? I can't focus on something when I'm not good with you. So please?! Can we settle it now?

THANIA: Mom?! *Bulong nito* We're in public, in school?! Can you set aside your personal problem?!

REGINA: I can't set aside this?! I'm going to be crazy thinking of this?! I thought we're already okay?! Then why are you still acting that we're not?!

: Reg! Ms. S! Andito na pala kayo? Too early to come.

REGINA: Ms. S? Who?

: Siya! *Sabay turo kay Thania* Close pala kayo?

REGINA: Ma'am, she's my---

THANIA: Former student of Ms. T, Miss.

: Kamusta na pagsasalita mo ng tagalog, anak?

THANIA: It's doing good, Miss.

: Did I disturb you guys? You look so serious talking kanina eh.
