THE next day went like a flash because it is Sunday. Sydney and I played the whole morning and after dinner we watched cartoons--- a yellow sponge with square pants and long nose with his pink starfish, grumpy octupos and red crab friends. She stayed with me because her grandparents is on a trip abroad.We both laughed in unison in a funny scene then stopped because somebody interrupted us."Yow guys... Can we join you?" bati ni LA at umupo sa tabi ko.Kasunod nya si Cairo na may bitbit na dalawang bucket na popcorn at isang plastic bag na punong-puno ng chips at kung anu-ano pa."Tito were watching SpongeBob SquarePants.

I WAKE up early with a light feeling in my head. Sinilip ko muna kung natutulog pa si Sydney sa kwarto nya bago ako pumunta sa kusina at naghanda ng breakfast, baka sakaling maisip ni Zurich na sumabay samin kaya dinamihan ko na ang luto.

HATING gabi na ng matapos ang pag uusap namin ni Tammy dahil nagkwento pa sya tungkol sa isang dati nyang naka one night stand na nag i-insist na magpakasal sila.She is very annoyed kaya wala akong ginawa the whole time kundi tumawa ng tumawa. She hates commitment pero parang nakahanap na sya ng lalaking ayaw sa 'no strings attached policy' nya.Kakahiga ko pa lang ng mag ring ang phone ko.It was an unregistered number kaya nagdalawang isip pa ako kung sasagutin ko ba pero sa huli ay naisip kong baka importante kaya sinagot ko rin."Hello Praia speaking, may I know who's this?" agad kong tanong na para bang call center agent."Darn. Even your voice sounds good over the phone" malambing na sagot ng lalaking nasa kabilang linya.Nangunot agad ang noo ko."What? Sino ka ba?" Binago ko ang tono ng boses ko at pinataray iyon para ipaal

CARRYING my hand bag I made my way into the mansion's double door. I was just too tired today because my work is so demanding that I couldn't even eat a proper lunch because of too much paperworks.Nagtaka ako ng maabutan ko ang sobrang tahimik naming bahay dahil sa mga ganitong oras usually nakauwi na ang parents ko galing sa trabaho."Manang Nieves bat parang walang tao dito? Pinag day off---"Nabitin sa ere ang lahat ng sasabihin ko ng magtaas sya ng tingin. Hindi ko maiiwasang kabahan dahil mugtong-mugto ang mga mata nya na parang nanggaling sa matagal na pag-iyak.Lumapit sa akin ang nasa mid-fifties na mayor doma."Praia... Ang daddy mo..." Pumiyok pa sya sa pagsasalita habang papalapit sa akin."A-ano pong nangyari?" I was literally trembling because I am scared of what she might tell me. "N-naaks
