She Who Speaks Love Through Actions

Chapter 2

Harriet's POV

'Puting polo and a checkered gray and blue necktie under a gray vest with white lines at the edge. Matched by a checkered skirt same color with the necktie na above the knee. As for my socks I wore an above the knee black stocking then a black polished school shoes.' 

Checking my self suot ang uniform ng L.U. sa mirror, talaga namang first time kong makasuot ng school uniform. I've always wanted to wear one though.

Taking a deep breath, kinuha ko na ang bag ko at lumabas na ako sa kwarto ko then bumaba na sa hagdan.

Binigay ko naman ang bag ko sa unang nakasalubong ko na katulong sa hall way. 'Give it to me kapag lalabas na ako' I signed. Papatuloy ko na sana ang paglalakad ko nang magsalita siya. "Uh-Uhm miss h-hindi ako marunong mag s-sign language. sorry po!." nauutal niyang sagot. I smiled at her then gestured ok, tinuro ko ang bag then hinarap ko naman ang hallway patungo sa sala at main door. 'wait for me there' I mouthed habang tinuro ang sarili ko.  Tumango naman ito kahit mukha namang hindi pa niya naintindihan. Urghh..ito ang problema ko eh hindi talaga ako maintindihan kapag hindi marunong mag sign language ang kausap ko o kung wala akong papel at pen. PAPEL AT PEN! dali-dali ko naman kinuha ang bag sakanya at kinuha ang paper and pen at sinulat na ang gusto kung sabihin sakanya. Buti nalang talaga kailangan good mood ako ngayon para good first impression ako mamaya sa school kundi urghh...I already told them na ang e hire nila na katulong ay yung alam mag sign language para hindi ako mahirapan.

Tumango naman na ito at mukhang naintindihan na talaga kaya tinalikuran ko na ito at patuloy ng naglalakad.

"Good morning miss Harriet."

"Good luck on your first day miss."

"Have a good day  miss Harriet."

Ilan sa mga narinig ko sa mga maid sa hallway habang patungo ako sa dining area. I just gave them a smile then quietly went straight to sat on my chair. "Good morning Harriet, hija."

'Good morning too manang' I thought, then sign languaged  her with a smile.

"Good mood?"aniya.

I just shrugged. "Ok then I'll get going, I need to take care of your papers for the school and uuna na ako doon sa school mo, dun sa principal's office. I already got all ready for you, the new driver is waiting outside which will be your personal driver from now on, ok? Anyways you'll like him, mabait yun madaldal lang . I'll just meet you there. Oh wait, here map yan ng school niyo. " bigay niya sa'kin ng isang mapa na may mga builidings na may nakasulat kung anong building ito. "Good luck on your first day of school,hija . I know you'll be great." she added, gently patting my shoulder   then started walking away. That was the mayordoma  sa mansion na ito which I call her manang Tess.

Turning my gaze to the food on the table. 'tataba na talaga ako ne'to ba.' I sighed. 'hmm. I think I'll just have a bread with... egg?? I love eggs. oh. and a glass of milk. I guess? ok!' kaya walang alinlangang kinuha ko na ang isang tinapay at linagyan ito ng madaming scrambled egg then started chewing and eating it. "ehem!!" holding my chest. Quickly, kinuha ko na ang milk ko at ininum ito. I just let out a big sigh for what happened.

"Are you okay miss? " tanong ng isang maid na sa pagakakaalam  ko ay si Florida. Tinaas ko naman ang kamay ko telling I'm ok.

I stood up then signed to her na I'll get going. Tumango naman siya at sabay na kaming naglakad papunta sa main entrance door. Pagkabukas ng malaking pinto, bumungad saakin ang isang black E-class mercedes benz, sa tabi nito may isang lalaking nakatayo which I think is my driver.
