Today is friday and that means less work. Friday is whole PE subject of my class. Oh boy last two weeks and the class will end. I'm gonna miss them so much, and last two weeks and I'll see my father again. I'm planning to go with Sandra but I'll ask her first if she wants to.
I put my necessities in my shoulder bag and started to fill my lunch box. Overnight oats, a bottle of fresh milk, a bottle of water, and fit bar. Sinarado ko ang baonan at bumaba na.
I'm about to start my car when my phone rings "Yes? Pa? I'm going to work now"
"good morning, mija. You don't have to come here. I'll be there tomorrow. I missed my apos" tumawa pa siya
"why sudden change of decision, pa? If that so. See you I need to drop this call, pa I am running late" traffic pa naman
"okay, take care and fetch me tomorrow my flight also is today"
"Okay. Love you, pa"
"té amo mucho" siya na ang nag baba
I open my stereo so that I can enjoy this ride if I will be stuck in the middle of the traffic.
Bumaba ako ng kotse at nag lakad papunta sa building ko. I put on my airpods and listen to my playlist. While walking I'm thinking of what can I do after my class. I need to get groceries and maybe workout, I feel getting bigger this past few days. Sarap kasi minsan ng luto ni Sandra ei, Sana all.
Pagkapasok ko ay si Sean palang ang nandon. Sean is the smartest in the class, responsible and the cutest but he's introvert. He doesn't like to talk to others and he wants do things alone, at first I found him independent but I'm worried. He needs to experience how to be a kid sometimes.
"Good Morning, teacher Mel" he greeted me
I smiled and nod. Why is his eyes so red? Did he cry? "Good Morning, Sean. How was your knee?"
"I feel better now, teacher" yon lang ang sinabi at humarap ulit sa pisara
"did you cry, babe? What's wrong?" nag squat ako para mapantayan ang mata niya.
I was shock when he hugged me and cry on my right shoulder. Hinagod ko ang likod niya. "teacher, Auntie Diana is b-bad. My ears h-hhurt" humiwalay ako tinignan ang taenga niya. What the?! Both of his ear is sore. Parang kinurot.
"teacher, Mel. Don't tell d-da-da I'm scared"tumahan siya na para bang takot na malaman ito nang kung sino.
I look his ears again it's so red. Nag umpisa nang magsipasok ang iba kung estudyante kasama ang mga yaya nito para paupo-in. Iginiya ko si Sean sa aking upuan. "Sean, we will talk later okay? Just sit here for the mean time"
Katabi ko si Sean sa upuan na nag susulat at ako naman ay s harap ng laptop para gumawa ng gawain. Pagkatapos ng ilang minuto ay kompleto na kay nag umpisa na ako sa klase habang pina-upo ko muna ang isa sa aking silya.
"Good Morning, Teachel Melina" anang klase ko
"Good Morning, Kinder 2. Monica, can you please lead the prayer?" ito parati ang intro ng klase ko. They need to put God first in every situation.
Pagkatapos ng klase ko ay dinala ko si Sean sa faculty namin ni Sandra. Oo dalawa lang kami dito dahil dalawa lang kaming guro sa kinder ako sa one siya sa two. Gulat siyang tumingin sa amin nang pumsok ako kasama si Sean. Ito talaga basta may koneksyon sa mga gwapo sinusunggaban na kaya bago pa siya makapagsalita pinandilatan ko na ng mata.
"Hello, teacher Dra. Teacher, Mel wants to talk to me here. Can I come in?" si Sean na nasa hamba ng pinto dala ang bag nitong di gulong
"sure, Sean. You are welcome here" at saka bumaling sa akin na may panunokso sa mata
Pumunta kami sa mesa ko. Pinakain ko muna ito ng pagkain ko, its 11:40. Iniwan ko muna siya kay Sandra at lumabas para ma contact ang tatay nito "Hello, Mr. Yu?"
"Yes? Melina?" pinag diinan pa talaga ang pangalan ko
Tonta! Malilintikan talaga sa akin yung kapatid mo pag walang rason ang ginawa niya kay Sean "Can you please, contact Sean's driver na ako na maghahatid sa anak mo? May ididiscuss lang ako konte kase medyo na late siya ng kuha kanina"
"huh? Sean is a smart kid, Mel. That's impossible at saka hindi pa nakakakain ang anak ko" singhal nito sa kabilang linya
"napakain ko na siya, I will send him home before two o'clock. I assure you that Mr. Yu"
"Okay, fine. And its Isaiah. Can I first talk to my son?" tinawag ko si Sean sa faculty para magkaroon ng privacy. Medyo chismosa pa naman si Sandra.
"Yes, dada I am good. I just forgot these secondary colors. Ok po, mahal kita too" hindi ko napigilang ngumiti ng magtagalog si Sean he's so cute.
He handed me the phone before I told him to continue eating inside. "Melina, I'll send you the address where we live. I need to go I have meeting in a minute.
" Yes, Isaiah. I guarantee you the safety of your son. He wont be hurt" at pinatay ang tawag. Anong klaseng tatay to? Hindi niya talaga alam na may sumasakit sa anak niya? Unbelievable.
I watch Sean eat. He's so cute, his eyes always disappear everytime he chew. One day when I have my own son I hope he will look like Sean.
Pagkatapos niyang kumain ay hinugasab ko ang kamay niya at na upo na " Why did your Auntie Diana hurt you, babe? You didn't obey her?"
He shake his head for disagreement "she always hurt me, here, here, here" turo niya sa nga parte ng katawan niya
"Why? You must did something bad, didn't you?"
"I promise teacher I-I didn't" at umiyak na ito
Ayaw ko ng palalain kaya niyakap ko nalang ito at inilagay sa aking kandungan.
"Everytime dada i-is going to work and we're alone in the condo she always tell me that one day if she has a baby she is sure that he/she wont look like me because dada only saw me in the street and took care of me because of pity" sabi niya habang nilalaro ang mga daliri ko
"She told you that?" hindi ak makapaniwala
"she once told me that when she and dada get married she will throw me anywhere away from them" ha? hindi niya kapatid ang nanakit sa anak niya? how dumb
"teacher, Mel. I am telling you this because I trust you. Can I sleep in your place?" humarap na siya sa akin. "Please teacher, Mel"
Nagbuntong hininga ako " I'll talk to your dad, okay?"
"really, teacher?" tumango "pero ma condition is I'll talk to your father about your Auntie?"
biglang namutla ang itsura ng bata niyakap ko ito ng mahigpit "I promise you no one gonna hurt you again"
"I trust you teacher"
