Nathania Jane Life's Journey

Chapter 41

THANIA'S POV:
I just came home from Lola's house and Manong will pick her up later, because she needs to do something daw. And here I am again at my room, finishing some stuffs for the surprise for Mommy. Maybe later, 6 or 7 on evening, they will arrive here. And in just a minutes Mommy will be home, too. Ohh! Maybe Mom came home already, someone is knocking at my door.

REGINA: May I come in baby?

THANIA: N-no!! *Tarantang sagot nito*

REGINA: Why? Are you hiding something?

THANIA: I'm not hiding anything Mom. It's just that it's too messy.

REGINA: Kahit gaano pa kakalat yang kwarto mo, let me in.

THANIA: No, Mom. It's really messy and--- and it's dirty out here.

REGINA: Just let me in if you're not hiding anything.

THANIA: I'm doing something here. I'm cleaning my room, so you can't come in. Why you came here?

REGINA: I just wanna be with you and I want to ask something.

THANIA: Just wait me on your room Mom. I'll follow you there.

REGINA: Okay. Come immediately okay?

THANIA: Yes, Mom.

REGINA: *pinunasan ang mga luha* Oh nandyan ka na pala.

THANIA: Why are you crying Mom? Is there something wrong?

REGINA: Come over here.

THANIA: *agad na tinabihan si Regina at yinakap ito* What's wrong Mom?

REGINA: I badly need that hug! Thank you.

THANIA: What's wrong Mommy? You know you can tell me right?

REGINA: Napapansin ko kase mula noong umalis ang Daddy mo, lagi ka na lang nagkukulong sa kwarto mo na para bang napabusy mo. Para kang may tinatago doon? Everytime na tatanungin kita kung pwede akong pumasok, lagi kang natatataranta sa pagsagot. Parang naglilihim ka na kay Mommy.

THANIA: I-I'm sorry if that's what you feel. Hindi pa pwedeng pumasok sa room ko Mommy eh. I'm still fixing it. I promise, soon you can enter my room again. But for now, you can't.

REGINA: You're hiding something, aren't you?

THANIA: I'm not hiding anything Mom. I swear.

REGINA: Tsaka nga pala. Anong oras sila darating?

THANIA: 6 or 7?

REGINA: Edi kailangan ko nang maghanda *tarantang sabi nito*

THANIA: Could you please relax Mommy?

REGINA: How could I relax? Malapit na magsix anak oh?

THANIA: Relax Mommy!

REGINA: *tumayo na ito mula sa pagkakahiga* I need to prepare for dinner.

THANIA: Your leaving me alone here?

REGINA: Mommy needs to prepare some food for them anak? I'llbe back naman after I finished cooking.

THANIA: Please stay here for a while? I thought you wanted to be with me? But your leaving me? I'lljust go to my room na lang to continue what I'm doing *tumayo na ito at naglakad palabas*

REGINA: *sinundan si Thania* Anak naman eh? Kailangan ko magprepare ng food for them, for us. Para pagdating nila, may kakainin na tayo.

THANIA: Just go ahead. I'll just on my room. Just tell Manang if they already arrived *nagtungo na sa kaniyang kwarto at nilock ito*
