Mom:
Anak, will your friends come with you on Friday? Para mapalinis ko ang guest rooms.

Lana:
Shoot! Yes po. I forgot to tell you last time.

I'm sorry for replying so late. I just opened my phone ngayon ngayon lang.

Mama:
Have you eaten already? Baka nood ka nang nood hindi ka pala kumakain.

Lana:
I am eating on time naman, mom.

I just turned off my phone para hindi ako maistorbo sa rest ko.

Mom:
I know.

Anyway, we will have to talk about your plans pag-uwi mo. Your dad is planning to retire.

Lana:
Is it time already?

Mom:
I think so.

Your graduation's next month. Will you still rest for six months before working?

Lana:
Yep. That's the plan besides I am earning naman po from the novels I wrote. Plus, I was already offered a job by the same publishing house. I told them that I will rest for six months before finally working.

Mom:
That's good. Maasikaso mo ang mga charity na hinahawakan ng papa mo. Ang kuya mo ay nagsisimula ng hawakan ang farm dito sa Pampanga at sa Tarlac. Your dad needs to rest since his health is worsening.

Lana:
I will. Uuwi ako pagkatapos ng graduation. I will stay there and do the things I need to do.

Mom:
Okay. Thank you, anak for doing this. Kailangan may mag-asikaso na sa mga charity works ng dad mo.

Lana:
I know mom. It's not really a problem for me since what we are doing is to help those who are in need. I would love to continue dad's charity works.

Mom:
Thank you so much, anak. I will see you on Friday with your friends. Mag-iingat kayo sa pagbiyahe niyo rito.

Lana:
Yes po. I love you. Tell dad too.

Mom:
I love you.

Call your brother too. Nagrereklamo na 'yon nung isang araw. Hindi mo na raw tinatawagan. He will be here too on Friday kaya magkikita kayo.

Lana:
Hahaha I will.

Mom:
Osya sige na at alam kong manonood ka pa.

Ipapaayos ko na ang hihigaan ng nga kaibigan mo at maghahanda para sa pagdating nila.

Lana:
Do not spoil them too much haha

Sige po.
