YVONNE'S POV

Nagising ako ng maaga. Inayos abg sarili at saka lumabas ng kwarto. Nadatnan ko si Daddy na nag-aayos ng sarili habang pababa ng hagdan.

"Good morning, princess," bati ni Daddy. He kissed my cheek but I immediately wiped it.

"Daddy naman. I told you to stop kissing me," asik ko.

"Ang arte mo," anito at ngumisi.

'Psh! Sira yata ulo niya ngayon'

Sabay kaming dumulog sa hapagkainan at saka nagsimulang kumain. Hinandaan kami ng mga maids ng pagkain.

"I am not going to take you home after your class is done," Dad said.

I frowned and gave him a stare.

"Why?"

"I am attending a special meeting in a cruise ship. It'll take me three days to get home," anito.

"And?"

"Bring your car. The one that I gave you last year. Drive it and use it to get home."

"I don't like driving, Dad," I said and hissed.

"Hey! Bakit ang tamad mo pagdating sa pag-drive tapos masipag ka maglakad?"

"At least economical ang ginagawa ko. Hindi ako nakakadagdag sa problema sa polusyon dito sa Pilipinas na siyan sumisira sa ozone layer natin," sagot ko.

"Napakaaktibista mo," he exclaimed. "Why don't you join the Student Council on your Academy? Huh?" asar niya pero hindi bumenta sakin.

"Ha! Ha! As if I like getting into debates."

He just hissed and took a sip on his coffee. I finished my food and lift my bag up.

"Mr. Ruise will drive me instead. Bye, Dad," I said and went outside.

Hinanap ko si Mr. Ruise para ihatid na ako sa school na pinapasukan ko.

"Good morning, Miss," anito pagkakita sa akin.

He opened the door and I went in.

"You'll be my driver for three days, Mr. Ruise."

Nilingon niya ako at binigyan ng nagtatanong na tingin.

"Can I ask the reason why?" he asked.

"Dad's on a meeting. It's in the cruise ship daw. So he'll not going to fetch me at school," sagot ko rito.

Tumango na lamang siya bilang sagot at saka binuhay ang makina ng sasakyan. Tahimik ang buong byahe. Tumitingin ako sa labas at pinapanood ang buhay nila sa kalsada.

May nakita akong matandang babaeng nagtutulak ng karitong maraming lamang karton at mga pira-pirasong tela.

"Stop!" sigaw ko kay Mr. Ruise.

"What's the matter, Miss?" nagtatakang tanong niya sa biglaan kong pagpatigil ng pagmamaneho.

"Just stop. Wait for me here, okay?" ani ko.
