Passenger series 3: The fetcher

At around lunch, Johnny, not his real name, is fetched by a lady from a nearby day care center after a morning of fun-filled learning. Johnny, still with baby powder around his neck,  proudly shows his hand, which is stamped with a star from his class, to the lady. They approach the jeepney terminal togther; she holds the boy's small hands, and, at the same time, carries his equally small bag. The boy grips his juice and chocolate bar inside a paper bag. She lets the boy take his seat in the jeep; that's additional seven pesos of student's fare. She would occasionally smell and kiss her ward's small head. Every gesture shows her affection for the little boy. When they reach their stop, they carefully alight from the jeep. Other passengers help the small boy outside as the lady flash them a smile. They cross the street to their townhouse, leaving me smiling.
