Chapter 34 - Eya, Hindi Ka Nagiisa.

"Ma, nandito kami sa condo unit ni Ma'am Zhenne. Kasama namin si Ate Mary, umuwi para lang makita at matulungan si Mitch. Baka dito po muna ako magstay hanggang bukas ng umaga." Lauren called Zhenne while on the way to Greater District.

"Sige nak. Tsaka pala nak, bukas daw bilihan mo si ate mo ng business coat si ate Kate mo kasi papasok na siya sa trabaho next week, okay?" Rita said.

"Sige po ma, dadaanan ko na din po sa mall bukas." Lauren replied.

"Ingat ka anak ah. Huwag magpapasaway dyan kay Teacher Zhenne mo ah!" Rita said.

"Opo ma! Thank you po, kayo din po dyan! :*" Lauren said.

":* :* :*" Rita said, kissing Lauren on the phone.

"Nga pala Lauren, diba sabi mo gusto mong ganapin ang debut mo sa villa namin? Tsaka March ang debut mo, pero next month mo gaganapin?" Mary said.

"Eh ate, okay lang na idelay ko. Para lahat po ay present! Tsaka balak pa lang naman po ate." Lauren answered.

"Ah, I see! So, madami ka bang bisita, or something?" Mary asked.

"Opo ate eh. Kasama po kayo duon. At kakaiba po ang debut ko. Casual clothing lang po, as if kala mo street party ganoon!" Lauren replied.

"Kakaiba nga Lauren! Sige, pagplanuhan mo muna yan." Mary smiled.

And they arrived at the condominium unit ni Zhenne. The condominium was peaceful. Mary loved it. (By the way umuwi na sina Nash at May.)

"Wow! Ang ganda pala ng condo unit mo ah! I like it!" Mary said, smiling.

"Salamat Mary! Feel at home kayo guys! Lauren, may wine dyan sa ref kung gusto niyong magpainit ng katawan." Zhenne said.

And immediately, Zhenne went to the kitchen and cooked some dinner, with Mary helping her. Kalderetang baka ang lulutuin nila ni Zhenne. Lauren and the rest of the girls are watching a TV series on the Netflix in the living room, and Tessa took the chilled wine and they started to drink.

"Eya, may recording studio si ma'am dito sa condo niya!" Christine said.

"Wow! Talaga? Musician pala si Ma'am Zhenne?!" Eya said, surprised.

"Oo, musician si ma'am. She plays at the gigs minsan after class." Christine replied.

"Woah! That's cool!" Eya smiled.

"Anyway Eya, matanong ko lang. Do you support our local football club?" Lauren asked.

"Uh, yes! Soccer, right? Yes, I do! Escoda City!" Eya replied. "In Australia, we've got an Aussie rules football kaya soccer ang tawag namin sa football dito." Eya replied.
"Nice! All of us here are fans of Escoda City and that's nice! Buti hindi ka North Escoda FC or Isidro Athletic!" Tessa said.

"Yes, Escoda City FC is the best man!" Eya said. "Cheers!" And they toast to that wonderful night. They started to drink the chilled white wine and enjoyed the streaming on Netflix.

"Zhenne, alam mo, nakakatuwa si Lauren. Kasi napaka-selfless niya." Mary said. Checking if the meat is now boiling. (In real life, Kelsey Merritt can cook)

"Sinabi mo pa. At napakatalinong bata niyan. Tsaka pag SSG, ginagampanan niya talaga yung pagiging president niya. Simula nung naging SSG siya, nagimprove sa academics, arts at sports ang school. And the teachers, including me, respect this girl. Hindi dahil may pera siya ah, but she is a definition of a student with a great leadership at excellent sa pagaaral!" Zhenne smiled.

"Nakakatuwa naman talaga si Lauren oh! Just like her ate, napakaexcellent, good-mannered at napakahumble niya!" Mary said.

"Kilala mo ate niya?"
