Novel & Cerita Tula Para Sa Teachers Day

Teacher Anna, Teacher Rissiya and Teacher Enji also raised their hands in confirmation, prompting the other teachers to all chuckle and smile in amusement. “It’s a bit boring to talk about lecturers for a week in a row. It’s time to be a normal housewife and talk with the youngsters,” Teacher Anna said with a rather smug smile. Her response made other teachers laugh. “Oh and share some cooking recipes~,” Teacher Rissiya added with a wink of her eye. The Minister laughed. “I think that’s for the best right now. What a great idea, teachers! We only got tonight and tomorrow after all. After we return to the kingdom, we adults wouldn’t be able to easily meet the participants.”

Tunde, broad and steady even in his later years, tended the herb beds with the youngest children, his hands as gentle as ever. Elena’s voice drifted from the speaker we kept for her visits, warm and steady. “The mainland just approved the new scholarship expansion. Twenty more spots next year. One of your graduates is coming back as a full teacher. The atoll isn’t just surviving anymore, Amara. It’s teaching others how to thrive.” Pride filled my chest, deep and quiet. “Tell her the door is always open. And tell the others… we’ll make the next festival the biggest yet.”

Hindi kumibo si Tala, tahimik lang itong umiiyak. “Hindi ko naman sure kung nawala nung natutulog ako eh. Basta naiwan ko, pinapa-check pa naman sa CCTV camera pero matagal daw bago ma retrieve,” basang-basa na ang tissue na hawak ni Tala. “Anong sabi ng teacher mo?” inabutan ni Limuel ng bagong tissue ang babae. “Babayaran ko daw kasi hindi ko rin naman pwedeng palitan dahil may sariling supplier ang school na bilihan ng projector.”

Miss Joana asked one of the male teachers who had just arrived. "Oh? Who are you?" Miss Joana took off her glasses and looked annoyed at the man in front of her. "I'm a new teacher here. I teach English." "Really? It's no wonder I've never seen you. Oh, let me introduce myself, I’m Bagus, the mathematics teacher." Miss Joana just stared at Mr. Nice's outstretched hand without intending to accept it. Not long after, the bell rang. "Oh I have to teach now. Please move aside, you are blocking my way."

“Hindi naman. Masama na bang magtanong?” “Tapos na kayo?” Hindi niya pinansin ang sinabi ko. Tumango na lang ako. Mabilis lang ang naging pagc-clearance namin ngayon dahil walang absent na mga teachers at bayad naman kami sa lahat ni Dessa. Wala din kaming mga kulang na activities and projects. “May pupuntahan ka after dito?”

“Helen tampered with your phone when she held you hostage. That's why we couldn't see each other's text. I will deal with her for hurting my student.” Diane's face beamed with a huge smile, and I almost lost focus. She was so beautiful and sexy with those blue eyes shimmering once again. “I love when you call me your student.” She gleamed. “Is there anything special about that?” I shrugged as I packed in front of her house gate. “I am employed to take care of my students because their parents left them in our care. That's what teachers should do.” “Yeah, yeah, you're right.” She swallowed, taking a deep breath. “There is nothing special.”

" Nanalaki ang mga mat ako at balak sana siyang hampasin, kaso biglang tumungo ang kampana sa speaker. Hudyat na kailangan naming manatiling tahimik at hindi kikilos, sa loob ng isang minuto. Nang matapos ang isang minuto, ay balak ko pa sanang kumprontahin si Ethan, nang mag salita na si Ate Luckie. "Good morning class. I'm your math teacher, and I'm ate Luckie Perz,” pagpapakilala niya sa sarili habang nag lalakad sa platform, “but call me ms Perez up until the end of the month," dagdag pa niya saka tumigil sa mismong gitna ng platform para tignan kaming lahat.
