It is probably their last night phone call which made her smile as she opened her eyes this morning. It is a great day.

After silently uttering her morning prayer, she fixed her stuff and changed her clothes.

It was only 6:10 in the morning when she woke up which is why she was able to join Unique and her mom for breakfast.

"Ma, you're up!" Unique exclaimed. He stood up to pull out a chair for his mom beside him, "Aga, ha."

She smiled. Was it because of the word "Aga" or Unique's sweet gesture that made her smile?

It could be both.

She sat beside him and kissed her son's cheek, "Morning."

Upon mentioning the word, she smiled again.

Aga is everywhere.

Unique smiled, "Bakit ang aga mo yatang nagising, ma? May gagawin ka?"

She shook her head, "Wala naman."

"No errands?"

"None," she answered, "Anong oras uwian mo today?"

Unique creased his forehead to think, "Kung matutuloy po na wala 'yong teacher ko sa PE ngayon, I'd probably be here at 4. But if not, 5. Why?"

"Your tito Aga invited us for a dinner tonight."

Mommy Ligaya stuck her tongue out and chuckled, "You sure kasama si Unique?"

"Ma naman," she retorted, "Kasama siya."

Unique nodded his, "Will let you know, ma. Text kita. Saan tayo mamaya?"

She shrugged her shoulders, "Hindi ko rin alam."

Unique didn't answer anymore. Her phone which was placed beside her beeped indicating a message.

She smiled, not wanting to keep her hopes up that it was Aga who texted; she doesn't expect.

But she was disappointed (sorry) to see that it was Vice who sent her a message.

From: Vice
Lei, someone wants to see you today. Punta ka dito sa ABS!!!

Her eyes squinted, who could that person be?

To: Vice
Who?

From: Vice
Secret! Punta ka na lang. See you!

She rolled her eyes and typed in a simple "Okay" as a reply.

"Ma, pupunta ako sa ABS ngayon," she informed her mom.

Her mom looked up at her, "Why? Kala ko wala kang gagawin?"

"Nagtext si Vice. Punta raw ako. There's someone who wants to see me. I don't know who."

Her mom nodded, "Okay."

Unique stood up as soon as he's finished eating his food, "Ma, Abu, I'll go na."

Her mom nodded and gave him a smile in which he reclined to give her a peck on her cheeks, "Ingat ka, anak."

"Ingat ka rin, ma. Text me po kapag nasa ABS ka na so I'd know you're safe."
