sana furrowed her eyebrows, removing her mom's grip, and stood away a bit.

"ayoko," she answered thickly.

her mom bit her lower lip, letting out a tear as her daughter crossed her arms and turn on her back. she clench her fist, and sigh heavily.

"sana," her voice deepen, "kung ano ang sinabi ko, gagawin mo."

sana glanced at her mom who's glaring at her. she can feel her mom's gaze that she's dead serious and will fight for her decision.

"hindi ako bayarin na babae, ma!" she didn't notice her voice raised.

her mom gasped in surprise and without thinking she slapped her daughter's cheek. she never did that to sana before, so because of that sana felt like a million of bricks hitted her.

"hindi ko naman ginusto ito," her mom continued, "kung hindi ako papayag mahihirapan tayo, at lalo na akong nagtratrabaho para sayo."

sana carefully face her mom, and smiles slowly.

"ganito mo pala ako palayasin," before her mom respond to that she already turn her back, go upstairs, and in to her room to pack her things.

"tangina."
