Nathania Jane Life's Journey

Chapter 61

HERMINIO: Are you excited for tomorrow's event?

THANIA: I'm not Dad.

HERMINIO: Why? It's your graduation day?

THANIA: How can I get excited for tomorrow's event? How about you Dad, are you excited for tomorrow's event?

HERMINIO: Of course! Magcocollege ka na eh. Big girl ka na, wala na yong baby namin.

THANIA: How about Mommy? Is she excited for tomorrow?

HERMINIO: Why don't you ask her?

THANIA: Dad, you know our situation right? She's been ignoring me for a week now.

HERMINIO: Pagpasensyahan mo na muna ang Mommy mo huh? Nasaktan lang siya sa nangyari noon.

THANIA: But I didn't go, right? Hindi ko naman po itinuloy eh. Why is she still ignoring me? She didn't love me anymore, Dad.

HERMINIO: Of course she loves you.

THANIA: I don't think so, Dad.

Biglang sumingit si Regina

REGINA: Hon, tara na? Nasa simbahan na daw sila.

HERMINIO: Thania, let's go?

REGINA: Mauna na ako sa sasakyan.

Nauna nang naglakad papuntang kotse si Regina at sumunod naman ang mag-ama

THANIA: Dad, huwag na lang kaya ako tumuloy? Wala din naman akong makakasama eh. Magmumukha lang po akong tanga at kaawa awa doon.

HERMINIO: I'll be with you.

THANIA: But you have your work today, right?

Pumasok na ang dalawa sa kotse habang patuloy pa rin na nag-uusap

HERMINIO: I've already excuse myself until tomorrow. And my boss understand it naman.

THANIA: Are you sure, Dad? If you need to go to work, just go. I'll just stay at home.

HERMINIO: I've already told you, sweetheart. Ako na sasama sa'yo. Since hindi pwede ang Mommy mo kase teacher siya, kaya ako na lang sasama sa'yo.

Pagkatapos marinig ang sinabi ni Herminio ay agad na nag-earphones si Thania at nagpatugtog bago magsalita

THANIA: You know what, Dad. I salute Tita Lei so much, even if she's a teacher and her daughter is my fellow graduate. She can still manage her time to be with her daughter today, since her husband need to go to work. I can see in her that she really loves her daughter. How about you, Dad? If you were my Mom, will you do the same as Tita Lei did?

REGINA: Pinapatamaan mo ba ako huh?!! Edi kung gusto mo, don ka na sa Tita Lei mo!! Mas gusto mo naman siya kaysa sa akin hindi ba?

HERMINIO: Kahit pa magwala ka diyan, hindi ka din naman niya maririnig. And besides Honey, she has a point. Not that I'm compairing you to Lei huh. Pero why can't you do the same? But anyways, we're here. Sige na mauna ka na. Let's just see each other after this, okay? I love you, Honey. Ingat ka huh.

REGINA: I will, Honey, you too, okay? And don't you dare to talk to other girls huh?! I love you too. Better take care of this young lady! I love her so much!

Hinalikan na niya ang noo ni Regina tsaka na siya bumaba ng sasakyan para puntahan ang kaniyang co-teachers

HERMINIO: Hi young lady? Let's go?

THANIA: What did you say, Dad?

Sabay tagtag sa kaniyang earphones

HERMINIO: I said, let's go. Nauna na ang Mommy mo doon.
