Part 1

"Your uniform suits you!" Melissa compliments her sister.

"HAHAHA come on, Thank You" Princess Replied with a smile

"Oh by the way I'm going home now" she added.

"Hmmm. It's getting late, we'll send you off" Their mom said.

"I'll go with you! May I?" Melissa asked.

Her mom agreed and said "Yes of course"

...They went to send off Princess to go home safely after they ate. ...

...They waited for a bus but all of them were full and people are doing the standing style in the bus too. ...

...Their mother knew it would take too long till she comes home safely, so she figured out that they could use their Bajaj to send her home. There was a checkpoint in front of the barangay and 3 wheels like bajaj's are not allowed to cross to the other side, but since it was nighttime and with proper permission asked by my mom, they agreed without my mom finishing her words....

"Hello sir, I have my daughter right there, and she's about to go home, and it's getting late. I want to ask for your permission for us to cross using bajaj and-"

"Okay"

"Sir? Uhm so the bus are all full, and it's quite fa-"

"Yes okay sure"

"Huh-Sir but I'm not done yet"

"It's okay as long as you come back. We usually don't allow it and capture the bajaj who forcibly cross especially with no license, but now it's okay so go ahead"

"Thank you so much sir, we're just waiting for my bajaj because it was driven as a transportation to earn money"

...They talked in a short period of time and the Mom left....

...She and her daughters waited for the bajaj and wondered about it taking long to come back. They just waited patiently and after a few moments they saw their vehicle and called it to come close. Their mom informed their driver and the three of them sat inside. The Driver asked if it's ok to cross the checkpoint and rest-assured that it was allowed. ...

...He looked back to them and asked if those two girls are the Mother's children because whenever he returns the key every night to their house, he hadn't seen the other 2 kids of Diana (The mother). ...

Diana said "yes" "Hahaha why it's the first time you see them close do you" she added.

"AHW yes, I didn't know you had a teen already, I thought they're still kids hahaha" He replied

...Since it would take quite long to arrive to their destination, the driver decided to also get the vehicle fueled. Their mom and the driver talked and also laughed while the daughters were talking about a different topic. ...

"Gang, how many kids do you have?" ('Gang' or 'Langga' is a word used by some Filipinos for a younger boy/girl and also for a beloved person)

"Oh hahah I have 2 of them"

"Ahh really? So you had 2 kids already?" Diana asked.

"He-he yes, and they're also still a child" the driver smiled.

"I see" Diana said.

"Look 'ate' the price of gas is getting higher" Melissa said while looking at the huge object of number displayed. ('Ate' is used for an older sister)

"Yes Indeed, the carfare/fare (plete) is also rising" she replied in concern.

"You're already married na pala and with kids, how old are you" Diana (The mother) asked. (the "na pala" word in this sentence means "already")

"Hahahaha don't tell others I'm married" he jokingly said. "Oh and I'm 27 years old" He added.

"Hahhaha oh my, you're young pala" she replied "

"Why? You have a girl to recommend for me? HAHAHQHA" He jokingly Said

"Hahahahha stop that joke" Diana laughed.

...While in the middle of the road, a huge rain suddenly poured. He shivered and complained about the rain. It was just 1-5 seconds that the rain dropped, and he suddenly felt too much cold. Maybe because he's wearing a sleeveless shirt but still it's weird that he can't stay still and kept moving when a drop of rain touched his skin....

...They jokingly said he was a 'KANDINGON'. ...

...(Exhibiting poor hygiene. (idiomatic) Showing dislike for taking baths or showering.)...

...He didn't feel insulted since they all laughed and joked about it, and it was also quite normal to them....

...The road was getting foggy, and it was hard to see. Melissa was focused on watching the road for a fear that when she closes her eyes to rest and get distracted, they'll crash in no time. The driver puts his left feet up to the chair and tried to relax while driving. The bajaj's wipers are working but as soon as it moves to clear the glass, it gets replaced by rain and fog again. ...

...After slowly driving, they arrived and their cousin carried umbrellas for Princess and helped her carry the bag, while Melissa waved at them, and their cousin looked at her and Diana and waved. Their cousin kept looking at Melissa to say hi and Melissa Said......

"Hiiiiii, how are you? *smiled* go back now, you'll get sick in the rain"

...Her cousin nodded and went back for the bajaj was about to leave....

The driver kindly asked "Are you done saying goodbye?"

"Yes" Diana and Melissa said.

...While going back to their house. The rain poured more than before and he also slowly drove again. The road was filled with water that makes the bajaj stop for a moment. ...

...They are already near, and the rain slowed down. When they finally arrived, the bajaj was now parked and Diana made the driver borrow her umbrella for it was already night, and it's still raining. The driver was kind, so she also likes returning kindness and care....

"Here dam" ('dam' is their short word of 'madame')

He said while giving the money for his rental.

"No it's okay, keep that and here" she said while giving him a hundred peso.

"No hahaha dam, I can't accept that.."

"No keep this, so you also will have something for your family, and your wife too"

"Ahhahaha my wife and I are separated now, but thank you so much madame, I will return the money right away"

"It's okay, don't hurry so much. Have a great night!"

...He got the borrowed umbrella with his money and went home. ...
