The Separate Expectations [ALLS: #1]

Chapter 4: Babysitting

Blair Zainiel Santiago

Ang laki ng bahay nila ma'am as in malaki talaga yung banyo palang kasing laki na ng kwarto ko.

"Tita Zain can you grab that please?" Sinabi nya sa akin with her puppy eyes.

"Only one okay? or else your mommy will get mad at me." Sabi ko sakanya.

Ms. Lorenzo is currently at her office here at her house, mga ilang oras din nung pumasok sya dun sa office nya.

"Mommy wont get mad unless you disobey her. But im sure she likes you po tita." She said while smiling.

Buti pa anak ni ma'am mabait kaso nga lang hindi ko pa alam yung edad neto at pangalan.

"Oh i forgot to ask. What's your name baby girl? And how old are you na po?" I ask. "Im Gianna. And im 6 years old po." Sinabi nya sa akin at niyakap ako.

Damn she's so affectionate and im not complaining because i think it's cute. Sana ganito din si ma'am kaso no chance nga kasi.

"Tita do you like mommy?" She asked. Nagulat ako sa sudden question nya.

"I don't know yet baby. Do you think tita has a chance?" Sabi ko sa kanya at binuhat papunta sa living room nila.

"I don't think so tita pero i hope you and mommy will be together. Mommy has been sad since Daddy left."

Ay, Parang nakaka relate ako sa batang ito ah. Same situation din kasi ako dati eh, akala ko bibili lang ng tilapia si papa yun pala meron ng iba huhu.

"Aww, Even if i wont have a chance for you Mommy I'll still be your tita okay? We'll play lots if im free." I smiled at her and she hugged me tightly this time.

"Hey you guys are leaving me out." Biglang sabi ni ma'am at naka cross arms pa.

"MOMMY!!" Sigaw naman ni Gia.

"Ma'am shall i cook lunch?" I asked. And she nodded.

"Baby you go watch Power Puff Girls now."

"Yay!!" Narinig kong usapan nilang dalawa.

"It seems like she likes you." Biglang sabi nya sa likod ko.

nagteleport ba siya? Or mabilis lang mag lakad si ma'am.

"I think so too ma'am. Anyways what food shall i cook for you love?" Tanong ko sakanya. "Hmm i think Caldereta sounds perfect!" Masayang sabi nya which made me smile.

"And please drop the opo and po's kasi hindi ka mukhang magalang." She said. "A-Ah okay po- i mean okay. . ."

I think my face is already red because of her. Gosh how can she make me feel this way.

"And don't call me by my last name just call me Ms.Athena." I nodded to her statement.

"Anyways po ma'a- i mean Ms. Athena I'll just call you if your lunch is served." I smiled at her and she walked away from the kitchen

Hayst. Grabe talaga si ma'am maganda nga pero sobrang cold. Pero okay lang I'll be her warmth.

"Tita! what are you cooking po?" Tanong ni Gia sa likod ko.

"Ah im going to cook Caldereta baby. Do you like Caldereta?" Tanong ko sa bata at binigyan nya ako ng malaking ngiti. "Yes po! Favourite ko po yung Caldereta!" I gasp from what she said. "It's my favourite too!" And we giggled from my statement.

============

Kumatok ako sa pintuan nya dahil naka luto na ako at pwede na silang kumain.

"Ma'am the food is serv- AUGH!" Hindi ko natapos sasabihin ko dahil bigla nyang binuksan yung pintuan.

"Oh crap okay ka lang ba Zain? Sh*t your nose is bleeding!" Nag-aalalang sabi niya.

Shet dumudugo ba ilong ko? Ganon ba sya kalakas at dumugo ilong ko?

"Ma'am kumain na po kayo doon i can take care of myself." Sinabi ko sakanya. At mukhang hindi siya kumbinsido sa sinabi ko. "You're coming with me.

She grabbed my hand and dragged me into a room. Ito ata ang kwarto nya- WAIT WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!

"Crap don't look at that i forgot to take it out! Wait outside for a little." She said.

Pero im still shocked na she plays with those uhm adult toys at naka dikit pa sa wall. MY VIRGIN EYES!! Wait hindi na pala virgin mara ko ehehe.

"Pwede ka nang pumasok." Narinig kong sinabi nya.

Binuksan ko ng kaunti ang pinto baka kasi meron pa. Malay mo diba.

"Come here Zain." Yan nanaman sya sa Zain Tngina bakit nakakapag bigay ng butterflies.

"Ms. Athena i didn't know you play with to- Argh." Sabi ko habang nilagyan niya ng tissue yung ilong ko. "Don't, don't bring it up please lang, ilalagay ko talaga tong tissue sa lalamunan mo." Naiinis na sinabi nya.

Pa'no ko naman hindi sasabihin kung hindi ko din- Yeah that's childish, Pero ang alam ko lang mahaba ಥ‿ಥ

"Yan all done. Are you fine?" Nag-aalalang tanong niya at tumango ako. "Hindi ko alam na may anak ka na pala." Sinabi ko naman sakanya at napakamot ako sa ulo ko.

I heard her sigh. "Kailangan ko bang sabihin sayo yon?" Tinaasan nya ako ng kilay at nag cross arms siya. Kinabahan tuloy ako.

"Well hindi naman i was just surprised na meron ka nang anak." I said while i massage my neck. "Alis na din po ako ma'am hinahanap na po ako ng group mates ko." Palusot ko para maka alis na ako dito.

"You should eat lunch with us muna, ikaw din naman ang nag luto and you're not gonna eat?" Tanong nya sa akin."Sige na nga I'll stay for a little." I said.

============
"Tingnan mo kung sinong nandito sa wakas!" Sigaw ni Jin. "Ikaw ah nang iiwan ka ah nakita mo lang si ma'am." Sinabi naman ni Azrael.

Nandito kami ngayon sa coffee shop para mag ready sa project namin, pero parang papagalitan nila ako.

"Saan ba kayo nag punta ni ma'am?" Tanong ni Azrael.

Napabuntong-hininga ako, Hindi ko ba alam kung sasabihin ko sa kanila oh hindi eh.

"Well pumunta ako sa bahay ni ma'am at wag nyo na akong tanungin, so ano na ang gagawin natin?" I ask. "So ang schedule nalang natin is every after school pupunta tayo sakanila Rael para gawin yung Proj." Sabi ni jane at tumango kami sa sinabi nya.

"But if we have free time naman we can go to his house parin. Pero about sa plate mo Zain maganda naman sya pero nagandahan mo masyado kaya if you want to change it there's still time." Mahabang sinabi ni Jane kaya nag isip pa ako kung papalitan ko yung design ko.

"Nah i think it's great already kaya I'll not change it." I smiled and she nodded. "Ah meron pala akong sasabihin sainyo guys. Meron daw tayong bagong student sa schoo-"

"I think i like Ms. Lorenzo." Biglaan kong sinabi sa kanila, Their reactions is so priceless. "WHAT?!" Biglang sigaw ni Jin at Jane habang si Azrael ay napa tawa.

"Sabi na nga ba eh gusto mo si ma'am." Proud na sinabi ni Rael. "But im not really sure as for now pero i just kinda like her." I explained to them and they nodded.

Wala naman akong chance kay Ms. Athena kaya hanggang liking lang ako and she even has a kid pero even if she has a kid i still like her.

"Hayst basta merong transferee tapos matangkad daw sya." Sabi naman ni Jin.

"That's cool sana mabait sya naman noh." Azrael said. "I agree kasi merong mga transferee na masusungit." I nodded to Jane's statement.

"Basta let's just wait and see tomorrow." Sabi naman ni Jin.
