Teardrops in Daylight (Salvaje Caballero Series 3)

Hers

Our section occupied the one bus. I had to make sure that no one is left behind so I was the last one to enter the bus.

There was an extra seat in the back so I decided to go there but Zach didn't let me.

"Seat here, Tami." he offered and stood up.

Madaming parents ang napatingin sa amin at maging ang mga pre schoolers.

"It's...okay."

Zeijan pouted and smiled. "I'll sit in his lap, Teacher Tami." he uttered.

Nanlaki ang mata ko nang biglang umandar ang bus kaya naman itinulak ako ng bahagya ni Zach para mapaupo roon.

Umusod naman ako habang si Zeijan ay umupo sa kandungan ni Zach. I ended up sitting beside the window of the bus.

"Teacher, what are we going to play?" Zeijan asked so I looked at him and smiled.

"You'll know when we get there."

He nodded like a mature man. Hindi man lang niya ako pinilit na sabihin kung ano yun. Zeijan always seems so mature compared to his classmates.

"Oh."

Napatingin ako kay Zach nang inabutan niya ako ng lunchbox. May bread roon, may isang lunchbox din na puno ng prutas at nahiwa na. 

"Bakit?" tanong ko naman.

Zeijan looked so puzzled staring at us. Tumaas ng kilay ni Zach at masungit akong binalingan.

"I don't think you ate breakfast. I have canned coffee here too. You said you like coffee better than milk."

He licked his lips and looked away a bit.

"Just eat it. I prepared it for you." he whispered.

Zeijan smiled as if he's getting why his tito is acting this way.

"So....you like my teacher huh." he teased Zach.

Parang namula ako sa sinabi ng bata at hindi na umimik. Doon lang ako nakaramdam ng gutom. Hindi na ako kumain kanina dahil nga diba ayaw kong makita si Lorenzo.

"Yes, young boy. So shut up and just eat your chocolates."

Nanlaki ang mata ng bata at napatingin kay Zach. "You have.....chocolates?!" he hissed.

Zach wiggled his eyebrows and got a pack of chocolates inside his bag.

"Huwag mo akong isumbong sa tatay mo ha." bilin niya at ginulo ang buhok ni Zeijan.

Nanatili akong nakatingin kay Zach at hindi ginalaw ang binigay niyang pagkain. Zeijan seemed so busy eating chocolates so he ignored us.

"Huwag mong sabihing susubuan pa kita Tami ha. Abusado ka." natatawa niyang sambit kaya umiling ako at natawa din.

"Salamat, Zach." nakangiti kong sambit.

He pursed his lips as if preventing himself to smile but he failed.

"Basta ikaw." sambit niya at kumindat pa.

Ilang minuto pa ay nakarating na kami sa isang private na park. Maganda ang kabuuan dahil napuno ito ng mga naglalakihang puno.

The wide grassfield made the children get so excited. Marcus and I had to prepare some of the needs for this day like the ropes and others. Children will play treasure hunt too!

It's already 9 in the morning and everyone is hyped up especially the kids.

Kanya kanyang laro ng mga bata at nagtakbuhan na sa damuhan. Hinayaan na lang muna namin sila bago sinimulan ang team building.
