hello everyone! anyone present? still there? i am really sorry for updating so late, the writer in me really sucks! anyway, hope you'll enjoy my short update... thankie! :)


Good morning! :)

Maya smiled seeing the text message on her phone first thing in the morning.  Just the night before they are like silly teenagers swaying along the music of their hearts with their arms wrapped around each other, they were both chuckling and giggling dancing together.  Not long after they stopped dancing, Richard suggested to call it a night so Maya can rest.  Holding hands, Richard walked Maya to her room, then said goodnight after pressing his lips on her forehead.

Still feeling light headed on how her yesterday ended, she jumped off her bed to freshen up on her bathroom, grinning on the idea of greeting him "Good morning" in person.

Clad in a comfortable sleeveless top and cullottes with her flipflops, Maya stride down to the dining area.

Good mor--- 

May stopped mid-sentence, seeing only Sabel , who seems to be going somewhere, and her mom seated by the dining table.  There is only one extra plate placed on her usual spot.

Richard is not joining for breakfast. She thought. Where is he?

The two occupants in the dining area noticed how Maya's mood tone down and discreetly looked at each other smiling meaningfully.

Good morning Maya girl! Sabel greeted.

Good morning Sabel! Good morning Mom!

Good morning, anak.  Come, join me, halos, kaka-start ko pa lang naman.Mommy Tessie said as Maya gave her a kiss on the cheek then took the seat next to her.

How about you Sabel? Bakit hindi ka muna sumabay sa amin magbreakfast at makapagkwentuhan na rin. Maya offerred to their longtime kasambahay.

Naku Maya girl, next time na lang, baka hinihintay na nila ako eh.

Sinong nila? Maya asked.

Huh? Yung.. Ano...

Naku, anak, sa dami ng suki nyan sa palengke, malamang nakaabang na ang mga yun.

Sabel can only bit her lip and feel relieved after being saved.

Really? O ano pa hinihintay mo, baka naiinip na mga fans mo dun.  Maya said chuckling, teasing Sabel.

Sige, maiwan ko na kayo dyan. Maya started eating oblivious of the thumbs up sign her mom gave Sabel as the latter walk past behind her.


Maya, kelan pala ang balik mo ng Manila, well of course, I love having you here with me but I also know that you have work in Manila.

I am not sure, Mom, well... Emman and I still have few days break since we are asked to cover for an urgent fllights... so.. I am not sure.  Maya answered.  Well, that's the truht, biglaan ang uwi nya and now she's not even sure what will happen next between her and Richard, she doesn't even know where he is, did he go back to Manila without telling her?

Mommy Tessie watched her daughter went still and contemplating after answering her question.  Maya's washing the dishes, with her back facing her mom but Mommy Tessie knows very well that her daughter is wearing that confused and forlorn expression.

***
Lino, kumusta? Ayos na ba?

Oo naman, sisiw lang ito.  Kinalat ko ng maganda. Yung mga prutas?

Eto na, syempre naman, fresh na fresh.  Nasan ang bida natin? Sabel asked looking around.

Nag-freshen up lang sa office ni dean.

O sige, ako na maghihintay sa kanya, prepare ko na din itong prutas.  Sunduin mo na sila, baka matrapik ka pa dyan sa may kabilang block. Nagliligpit pa lang yung sa night market eh.

Maya is checking herself in the mirror, she tied her hair on one side, resting on her shoulder.  She decided to wear a dress that flowing freely from her midriff to her knee, yun na lang medyo bagay na isuot since she might meet some officials from the university. 

Earlier, when she finished washing the dishes, she found her mom in the garden.  She is just in time finished talking on the phone with someone when she got near her.

Anak, we will have an emergency meeting at the university, why don't you go with me, tagal ka na rin hindi nakapasyal dun di ba?

Ok mom, i won't do anything din naman dito, and baka matagalan pa si Sabel sa palengke. And I don't think Richard is still here. Maya silently sighed.

Yes, and tamang-tama your favorite place in the university is in full bloom.  Mommy Tessie answered excitedly as they go upstairs to dress up, overlooking the sad face of her daughter.

After almost an hour,  Maya went out of her room as her mom emerged from hers.

***
Lino, salamat sa pagsundo at paghatid.

No problem po Dean.

After they have entered the gate...

O anak, you know your way.  I need to go meet the others in my office.  I will just text you later if we are going home na.

Okay Mom, don't worry about me.  Look! I have a good book with me, just like the old times.  Maya said. It's been her old habit to just stay at the flower garden reading her books or novels, while waiting for her mom whenever she's on vacation when she was still in college.  She can drown herself reading forgetting about time, and her mom has to fetch her everytime.

Mommy Tessie just nod giggling, knowing very well what awaits in the flower garden for her daughter.

When Maya has turned at the back of the auditorium leading to the flower garden.  Sabel emerged from the guard house, giggling, then together with Mommy Tessie went out the gate where Lino is waiting for them to take them back to the dela Rosa home.
