A Mother's Love

Chapter 15: Anxiety

(Irene's pov)

It's been a while since nung nag simulang mag aral si Gracie. Masaya ako na wala syang nagiging problema. Today, is her card giving day, pero hindi ako ang kukuha ng card nya. Malamang sa malamang si Manang na lang.

"Good morning sa pinaka maganda kong pamangkin" ate Imee said.

"Mama? Ako lang babae mong pamangkin anong inexpect mo di ako maganda" Gracie said and laughed.

"Card giving day nyo ngayon diba?" I asked

"Yes mom, i am just a little bit nervous Haha" Gracie said.

"Nervous? Ikaw? Mana ka saken matalino tayo tyak puro line of 9 yan!" Ate Imee said.

"Wag kayo masyado mag expect" Gracie said.

"Naku pag talaga ikaw kasama sa honor! Naku mag papakain ako ng pinakbet pizza sa buong ilocos!" Ate Imee said

Gracie just laughed, "malelate na ako, Mama 3pm, baka mapasarap ang chismis mo kay mommy nakauwe na ako at lahat chumichismis ka pa din" she said.

"Mana ka saken ganon ka din" Ate said.

Pumasok na si Gracie, i feel her nervous. "Bat kinakabahan si Gracie manang?" I asked.

"Mataas ang expectations nun kaya ganon, tyaka ikaw masanay sa ibang pamilya tas bigla kang mapabilang sa mga Marcos" Manang said.

"Hi hon, good morning, manang good morning" Greggy said

"Oh good morning di mo na naabutan ang anak mo tinanghali ka yata" i said

"Yes pagod lang kagabi" greggy said

"Pagod saan? Baka masundan si Gracie ha!" Manang teased.

"Shut up manang mag kape ka na lang" i uttered

"Naku manang nakailang kalabit ata ako kagabi di ako pinagbigyan" Greggy also teased me. Pinag tulungan pa ako ng dalawang loko.

"Irene? Anong iniisip mo?" Manang asked

"Wala manang napipikon lang ako sainyo" i said

"Meron ka ba?" Manang asked

"Wala pero malapit na" i said

"Ahh kaya tumanggi" manang laughed

I just give her a glare and rolled my eyes. Pinag titripan nya talaga ako kahit sobrang aga pa.

(Gracie's pov)

I was on my way going to school. I feel so nervous because today ks card giving day, si Mama Imee ang kukuha ng card ko, i am also excited kasi sinabi naman samen na may chance na makasama ako sa honors. But still, ang sarap siguro kung si mommy yung kukuha ng card ko tas mag pipicture kami. Always na lang kasing si Mama yung pumupunta. Pano kaya kung si Mommy at si Daddy yung pakuhanin ko, kaso baka hindi nila kunin kasi parehas din naman silang busy.

I already arrived at school, medyo nag lakad lang ako ng slight kasi hindi ako nag papahatid sa may tapat ng school mismo. I saw Amber with her friends, their always staring at me, ganon na ba ako kaganda para titigan nila? Charot.

Catherine and Bea was running towards me. "Cheskaaaaaa" they called. "Ano ba ang aga aga chismis nanaman?" I asked. "Ano ba muka ka talagang chismis" Bea said. "Aba syempre nanay ko si Imee eh diba, she's chismosa ng ilocos norte diba?" I said. "Shhhhh! Cheska, do not try to open your locker okay? Amber with her friends put something inside okay?" Bea whispered. I doesn't believe na meron silang nilagay, "ineechos nyo ko" i said. "Bat ka naman eechosin? Naranasan na namin yan Chessy" Catherine uttered. "Aba eh malay ko, baka ineechos nyo ko eh" i said.

Curious talaga ako kung anong nilagay nila Amber sa locker ko na sinasabi nung dalawa. Di ko lang sila pinapansin pero lagi nila akong ginaganito. Kaya i always have an extra uniform, if Incase na may gawin silang hindi maganda. After i open the door, may puting pintura na bumuhos saken. Mabuti na lang sa damit ko lang natapon.

"Chessy, i told you diba don't open" Bea said and rolled her eyes

"Lika na mag bihis kana" Catherine said.

Habang nasa cr kami, they locked the door and pinag usapan namin sila.

"Papatulan mo?" Bea asked

"Ano ba? Walang marcos na pumapatol sa hayop" i said

"Taray ha, natapunan, nabully na at lahat tawa pa din ng tawa" Bea said.

"Pag nakita nilang hindi ako naapektuhan baka tigilan nila ako" i said.

Natapos na akong mag bihis at bumalik na ako sa room.

It's already 2:57 pm at dumating na si Mama Imee. "Hi ma?" I said. "Hello? So san tayo?" She asked. "Sa room ma" i said.

Di nag tagal nakuha na din ni Mama yung grades ko. She's happy to see na puro line of 9 ako. I was so happy lalo na nung nag announce ng honors. I am top 2 with high honor.

Can't wait to tell mommy about this, im sure ill make her proud.
