Second Chance

3

Nakatulog ako ng mahimbing kagabi which is weird. Hindi ako sanay na matulog sa ibang bahay kaya nakakagulat na nakatulog ako kagabi. Siguro dahil pagod na pagod ako kahapon

Anyways, I got ready kasi sasama ako kay mommy sa company. Kagabi hindi ko siya maintindihan. I thought she's staying away from me pero nakakagulat yung sinabi niya kagabi tapos may payakap-yakap pa siya. She probably realized na ngayon niya lang ako namiss. Ewan ko?

So nagtoothbrush ako tsaka naghilamos. Hindi ako makapagdecide kung ano susuotin. I just wore an oversized plaid blazer with matching skirt tsaka white tube top. Aalis kami nila Eunice mamaya. Hindi na ako magpapalit kaya ito nalang sinuot ko.

Bumaba na ako

Are they awake? Ayoko namang kumain ng breakfast without Tito Manuel and mommy. It'll look rude

"Lexi gising ka na pala. Halika kumain ka na ng breakfast" ani tito Manuel

Buti nalang at gising na sila. Kumakain na sila ng breakfast without me

"Okay po" and I sat down beside mommy. I looked at her. Hindi na niya ako pinapansin. What the hell? Last night she hugged me and all but now what? Like does she have a certain time to be sweet? Makahingi nga ng schedule para naman ready ako

Nilagyan ako ng kutsara, tinidor, plato tsaka baso ng mga kasambahay. Siguro mga lima silang nagaasikaso saakin "Thank you po" sabi ko sakanila and they just looked at me

"No need to thank them Lexi. They're just doing their job. If they don't do their job well, then they get replaced"Ani tito Manuel

Ang yabang mo naman. Di porket mayaman ka, ganito na ang trato mo sakanila. Sila ang gumagawa ng trabaho para sayo governor. That's what I wanted to say to him but I kept quiet

I just ate silently while tito and mommy talked about business

"How's the company Lucinda?" Asked tito Manuel

"Ok naman" mommy replied

Hindi ko na narinig ang mga kasunod dahil nagtext si Eunice

From Eunice: Uy. Tuloy b tyo?

To Eunice: Oo naman. Ikaw bahala kung san tayo magkikita tsaka ano oras

From Eunice: K.6 pm. Txt k syo mya adr. 2log mna ako uy

Hindi na ako nagreply kasi nakita ko nang nakatayo si mommy. Tumayo na rin ako

"Nasa labas daw driver mo. Doon ka na sumabay" ani mommy

Okay. So she doesn't want to talk to me

"Okay po mommy" ani ko and she immediately left

"Good morning po mrs. Lopez" ani Gio kay mommy

Mommy looked at him with angry eyes "mrs. Herrera" she corrected and went in her car

Gio just looked down

She doesn't want to be called mrs. Lopez. That's daddy's surname. I got a little angry after hearing that. I get it that she's a Herrera now but you know, she used to be a Lopez

Sure she has a new husband but it still stings that she replaced daddy. Although I'm not carrying daddy's surname with I don't know what reason. We tried changing it though but kind of forgot when dad started getting sick. And then we just didn't resume. I would still like to change it now since I got time. It's probably not gonna take that long right?

"Tara na" ani ko kay Gio

He opened the car door for me and I got in. Sumunod naman siyang pumasok
