Girl of Never (Chat MD Series #4)

Day 05

(Phone conversation)

MON AT 06:33 AM

Middle conversation.

Auntie Faith :
It's your first day today?

Jia :
Yes, Auntie. I slept late last night kababasa ng documents for the research I will be working on. (Yawns) It's very interesting. I think I will enjoy working.

Auntie Faith :
Sa FHRL ka pa rin nakapasok? Even without my friend's recommendation?

Jia :
Siyempre, Auntie. I told you I can do it on my own. Do you believe me now? (Laughs softly)

Auntie Faith :
I know you can do it. I just thought you might want a little help.

Jia :
Alam ko naman po. But I shouldn't burden you, considering...

Auntie Faith :
What considering? I don't like that tone, Jianna. No matter who comes for you and claim you as their own, we are still your family. Do not think otherwise. You're going to break Ludy's heart if you estranged yourself.

Jia :
(Clears throat) I'm sorry, Auntie. (Picks up tone) I won't say it again. Promise!

Auntie Faith :
Kaninong research ka na-assign? Do we know?

Jia :
(Clears throat) Hindi ko pa po alam talaga. Mamaya pa lang.

Auntie Faith :
Oh... Harry's in FHRL, too. You might see him there. Magpakilala ka kapag nakita mo siya.

Jia :
I'll try po since we always miss the chance.

Auntie Faith :
(Sighs) In case na parehas kayo ng research or magkalapit kayo ng lab, check on him from time to time. Balitaan mo 'ko on how he's doing. I worry about him. It's been two years since Neah died but...

Jia :
Ako'ng bahala, Auntie.

Auntie Faith :
Are you sure you're settled in your house? Malaki itong bahay.

Jia :
I'm settled, Auntie. Dadalawin kita 'pag off ko.

Auntie Faith :
Naku. May off ba talaga kayo sa ganyang trabaho?

Jia :
(Laughs softly) I'll know soon po.

Auntie Faith :
Oh, sige na. Naiistorbo na kita. Good luck on your first day.

Jia :
Thanks, Auntie. Love you!

Auntie Faith :
I love you, anak.

Call ended.
