Maia's POV

[After Class]

I'm on my way papunta sa office ni Ma'am Herrera para sunduin si Mara. 

Tapos na ang klase at balak ko sanang isama s'ya sa coffee shop, makikiusap nalang  ako sa boss ko na kung pwede ay doon muna si Mara since walang mag-aalaga sa kan'ya sa bahay.

*knock* *knock*

"Come in." She said on her monotone voice.

I carefully twisted the doorknob and peek inside.

"Ah, Ma'am. Tapos na po yung klase and susunduin ko na sana si Mara."

She looked at her wristwatch and mukhang ngayon lang n'ya din napagtanto ang oras.

Probably busy playing and talking with Mara.

Ngayon palang, nakikita ko na agad na she'll be a great mother in the future.

"Oh, alright." Hinarap n'ya naman si Mara at hinaplos ang pisngi nito.

"I'll see you tomorrow, sweetheart." She said while smiling warmly towards the kid.

Mara looked at my direction the smirked playfully.

She once again looked at Ma'am Herrera with her puppy eyes and pouting lips.

"Can you come with us instead, Ate Vera?" She said while looking down and playing with her fingers.

This kid..

She knows how to play the game.

I maybe staring at them with confuse expression in my face. The truth is, I'm celebrating inside.

"Ah, wait up. Give me a second." She smiled and began dialing someone on her phone.

"I can't go with you later.." Sabi n'ya sa kausap sa kabilang linya.

"No need. I have something to do and I have my car with me." She continued.

"Yes. I'll see you tomorrow." At binaba ang tawag.

Naningkit ang mata ko the moment na humiwalay yung cellphone n'ya sa tainga n'ya. 

At nabasa ko ang pangalan ng taong kausap n'ya.

It says 'Garzon'

'I'm Sammara Herrera Garzon.' Agad namang pumasok sa isip ko ang sinabi kanina ni Mara.

Si pugo nga siguro talaga ang Lolo n'ya.

----

Pinagbuksan ng pinto ni Ma'am si Mara sa backseat ng kotse n'ya at inayos nadin ang seatbelt nito.

I smiled while admiring how careful and softie she is towards Mara.

Maybe 'yun din yung tinatawag nila na 'luksong dugo'

Pumunta naman s'ya ng driver's seat pagtapos masigurong ayos at komportable na si Mara.

Ay bastusan, Ma'am?

Ba't naman ako hindi mo pinagbuksan?

Char HAHAHAHAHA

"Are you coming or what?" Malamig na tugon nito habang sa unahan nakatingin.

"Ma'am ako yung magta-trabaho, malamang sasama 'ko. Unless gusto mong ikaw ang magtao sa counter at magserve sa mga customer don." Pabulong kong sabi habang umupo na sa passenger seat at inayos ang aking seatbelt.

"Are you saying something, Cifuentes?" She asked me habang sinamaan ako ng tingin.

Shet, gorgeous padin.
