I sipped the coffee she made. right! Hindi siya tama sa panlasa ko. Napailing na lang ako saktong nakita kong tapos na si Alfonso.

"Let's go?" I asked putting down the coffee, I don't know how should I address this one since she might think I'm ungrateful.

"Yes daddy." He answered, I look at the time. 15 minutes na lang, ang bilis nang oras.

"Bye bye Luis!" I kiss his forehead, "Babye baby." Alfonso tiptoe to kiss him, Luis smile watching us.

"Mommy?" Biglang tawag ni Alfonso habang nasa sasakyan kami, "Do you want to call mommy?" I asked.

"Yes." He answered, I tap my phone that on the cellphone holder.

"The number you're trying to call is currently busy. Please try again later."

I licked my teeth looking at the time in the dashboard. "Why?" Alfonso asked.

"Nothing, she's busy baby." I said but tried to give it a call again, and her number is still busy.

"So how's school?" Tanong ko ulit baka this time maging comfortable na siya.

I did not heard any answers from him, "Inaaway ka ba nila?" Tanong ko na lang.

"Opo." Agad agad niyang sagot, "Why? Do you want me to talk to them?" I asked.

"No daddy. They will just going to away me more." Sagot naman niya. Syempre kakausapin ko naman yung teacher niya.

"Ganito Alfonso, kapag inaaway ka nila wag kang pumatol sa kanila ha. It's bad." Pagpapaalala ko.

"No daddy I won't naman po." He said, "They said..." He stop for a minute.

"We should not be there because we're too high for them." He added.

"What do they mean?" I asked.

"I don't know, me neither I don't get it." He said innocently.

"Basta ha. Mag sabi ka sa amin pag inaaway ka." I reminded him.

"Yes daddy." He said I park our car and grab his bag.

"Tara na." I said, he went down on the car so I follow.

He hold my arms, while we are walking at the hallway. "Mag aral ka nang mabuti ha. Yung pinagusapan natin." I said.

"Yes daddy." He grabbed his bag from me.

After watching him to sit on his seat, I went to the teacher's department.

I knock on the door, "Excuse me. is Mrs. Baculo is here?" Tanong ko.

"Yes sir." One of the teacher answer.

"May I enter?" I asked for permission, they all nodded.

So I went to my son's teacher. "Good morning Mr. Araneta. It's been a while. Ano pong sadya niyo?" She asked.

"May sinabi po kasi si Alfonso sa akin." I said directing to the point, "What is it Mister?" She asked.

"He said he got bullied. Of course I know this is a children friendly school. But I hope you can asked your students since the children aren't open for that kind of matter." I said.

"Ohh sorry to hear that mister. But wala naman pong dumadating sa akin na ganong report." She said.

"No need to be sorry po, since it's not your fault. I'm just hoping you can address that even without someone's report." Sabi ko.

"I would definitely talk to them. Sinabi po ba niya kung sino?" She asked.

"He didn't drop any name." I answered.
