Natapos na ni Celine at ng kanyang mga kaibigan niya ang kanilang project kaya napag desisyunan na niyang umuwi

At the Cortez Mansion

Pagkapasok palang ni Celine sa pinto ng kanilang bahay ay agad ng bumungad ang kanyang Mamita.

Celine: Oh hi mamita,are you waiting for me? Oww don’t tell me you miss me already? Wala pang isang araw na wala ako sa bahay ah (biro niya sa kanyang lola)

Doña Bettina: Silly girl (sabay kurot kay Celine ng mahina at tyaka sila tumawa) Btw. Your dad just call me a while ago and he said that he and your lolo are going to be late at home so he told me na wag na natin sila hintayin for dinner. So come let’s eat

Celine: Oh ok, You know what mamita I’ve met a kind and sweet woman kanina,it’s just funny because we’re both buying a same book,eh the natinal bookstore said that the book was the last stock na so i said na sakanya nalang kahit na pinipilit ko siya but she tell me na sakin nalang daw,she’s really kind mamita (salaysay ni Celine habang kumakain)

Doña Bettina: And who’s this kind and sweet woman?

Celine: Well i think you know her naman cause they’re family is famous,it’s Tita Irene Marcos Araneta

Bigla naman nabilaukan si Doña Bettina sa narinig niya mula sa kanyang apo.

“Are you ok mamita?” Pag aalalang tanong ni Celine

“Yeah I’m fine medyo bumara lang yung pagkain sa lalamunan ko”kinakabahan na sabi ni Doña Bettina

And they continue eating while Doña Bettina can’t focus on her food,because of what Celine told her earlier,minutes past and they finish they’re dinner. So Doña Bettina told Celine na umakyat na sa kwarto para magpahinga na.

Celine: How bout you mamita? Aren’t you going to your room na to take a rest na rin?

Doña Bettina: Ah no Sweetheart I’ll just wait for your father and you lolo.

Celine: Ok mamita but if’s late na and they still not here don’t wait for them and sleep na ha.

Doña Bettina: Yes sweetheart,so go to your room na and sleep.

Celine: Good night mamita,love you (hug and kiss on cheeks)

Doña Bettina: Good night too sweetheart love you too,have a sweet dreams! (hug and kiss Celine cheeks)

Celine already go upstairs to her room while her Mamita is still awake and waiting for her husband and son,kanina pa siya di mapakali dahil sa kinwento ng kanyang Apo.
After an half of hour waiting dumating na ang kanyang mag-ama

Doña Bettina: Finally nandito na rin kayo mag-ama.

Edward: Mom why are you still here? It’s late and dapat natutulog kana.

Doña Bettina: Well hindi ko pweding ipagpaliban itong sasabihin ko sa inyo,well we should discuss this on the office room.
