Nathania Jane Life's Journey

Chapter 44

THANIA: Mom? *Naluluha* Wala akong alam. He didn't told me about that matter.

REGINA: Sorry baby. It's not my intention to raise my voice on you. I'm sorry *yinakap nito at hinalikan sa noo*

THANIA: Sige na Mom. You better fix your things for tonight's event. Don't ever go with Michael, okay? And one thing Mom, did you already talked to Lola? Did you settle everything between the two of you?

REGINA: Yes baby! We're okay now. Everything is good between us.  I talked to her before she went home. And everything is fine now, my things are ready.

THANIA: Please come home early Mom, okay?

REGINA: I can't promise you anak eh. Baka bukas na ako makakauwi dito.

THANIA: Why Mom?

REGINA: Kase baka umaga na matapos yong event. Hindi naman ako pwedeng magbiyahe ng madaling araw, kaya baka doon na ako matutulog sa school.

THANIA: Is it safe there?

REGINA: Yes! We've been doing this ever since.

THANIA: You sure Mommy?

REGINA: Yes baby! Promise!

THANIA: Take care okay? Please stay away to boys, especially to Michael.

REGINA: Sir *pangtatama nito* Noted anak.

THANIA: Mom? Can't you really make it tonight? Can't you come home early? *Malungkot na sabi*

REGINA: I've already told you anak di'ba?

THANIA: It means we can't get along together?

REGINA: I'll try my best to come as early as I can tomorrow, okay?

THANIA: Tomorrow?!! Can't you come home at 8?

REGINA: Anak, babawi ang Mommy bukas ha? But for now, I need to go *kinuha na ang mga gamit*

Palabas na sana ng kwarto si Regina nang magsalita si Thania

THANIA: Leave and I'm not going to talk to you.

REGINA: *napaharap kay Thania* Anak naman? It's part of Mommy's duty to be there at the event.

THANIA: And it's not your duty to be with me at this day? To be with us today? *Pumatak ang mga luha*

REGINA: *nilapitan si Thania* Of course it's my duty to be with you or give you my time, because you are my family, you are my child. But please, hayaan mo namang bumawi ang Mommy bukas. Hindi lang talaga pwede ngayon eh, may duty ako sa school. I'm sorry baby *tumulo na din ang mga luha*

THANIA: Just go Mommy. You're getting late. Don't mind me, okay. Take care ha? Don't go to a dark place with your own. Don't forget to always have your phone on your hand. Stay away with guys, please? Please take care. Please come home safe, okay? I can't afford to lose you. Please come home safe. I love you! I love you! I love you! *Hinalikan si Regina at yinakap*

REGINA: Anak ano ba mga pinagsasabi mo ha?! Para ka namang naghahabilin sa mga sinasabi mo eh!! I will come home safe. I promise *kumawala sa pagkakayakap* I love you more than anything, anak. Mommy needs to go, okay? Sleep early.

THANIA: Please go with Manong, in case of emergency. Don't let Manong come home after he take you to school. Let him stay at school. And if ever, come home besides Manong will drive you home.

REGINA: Yes baby! So, I'll go ahead?! Sleep early, okay? I'll check you later.

THANIA: Okay Mom. Take care.
