"It's the big day, what is up to you?" Lizzie called. Anna knows this is going to be hard to explain with Lizzie.

"I'm still not doing fine."She just wants to end her business with Nick, cut everything out. Hanggang ngayon hindi niya parin alam kung paano niya sasabihin ito kay Lizzie. She would never ever tell what happened between her and Nick.

This is really hard that's why she hates getting attached with people.

"Hindi ko na alam kung anong sasabihin ko kay Sir Nick kung bakit wala ka pa." Poor Lizzie still thinking of saving her. That maniac don't deserve the respect.

"Then tell him hindi ako makakapunta." Sabi nito ng diretsahan.

"Seriously?!" Lizzie still believes she would.

"Lizzie just enjoy the night, tell your boss I can't come and that's it. You didn't sign for your job just to cater me." She ended the call. She thinks it's better to be a little harsh for Lizzie.

She grab her bag and look for Manong Lito.

"Mam nagpaalam po si kuya Lito kahapon kay Mam Jean, umuwi po kasi siya sa pamilya niya dahil birthday po ng anak niya." Paliwanag ng isa nilang kasambahay at agad naman niya itong naintindihan.

"Ganon po ba, sige mag-tataxi nalang ako."

"Pwede kang sumabay sakin." Zach appeared, he's dressed at halatang may lakad din.

"No, it's okay. Mag-cocommute nalang ako." Heto nanaman sila sa seryeng ito. First time, Zach insisted. Hindi narin ito naghintay pa ng pagbuka muli ng bibig ni Anna at pinasunod na niya ito sa kanya, wala narin itong nagawa. Nothing's wrong on Zach's act in fact panatag si Anna sa pagiging kaswal nito.

Sinuong nila ang daan ng walang imikan. Lasted a minute hanggang sa ma-stuck sila sa traffic.

"San kita ihihinto?" Zach asked.

"Malapit sa Happy Land." Kaswal nitong sagot.

That's their very short convo until someone knocked on the window. Anna saw a kid handing a cotton candy wrapped in a plastic. Natuwa ito at sandaling natakam sa mga ito.

She opened the window and bought cotton candies, a pink and blue one. She admired the kid, selling at the road is prohibited she wondered how hard their life is.

"Thank you." Binayaran niya ito at hindi na tinanggap ang sukli dahilan ng tuwa ng bata.

Nagmadaling buksan ni Anna ang nabili, para siyang batang sabik na sabik dito. She misses the taste and abit of her childhood days. They still stuck on the traffic.

She looked at Zach who's so focused on the road and then she offered one of her cotton candies.

"No, thanks."He smiled casually but Anna insisted. Kumuha ito ng kaunti at sinubukang isubo kay Zach.

Gulat na gulat si Zach dito

"W-hat are you doing?" He stuttered.

"Try it." She can see how nervous he is that made her laugh. This man didn't enjoyed his childhood very much.

"I - don't know what that is." Muling natawa si Anna dito dahilan para mapakunot ang noo ni Zach. From the other hand, she got and ate a candy and demonstrated it to Zach.

"Are you serious?" She's starting to make fun of him which made Zach blushed in shame.

"When you look at it it's like cotton pero pag sinubo mo na, unti-unti siyang magme-melt sa dila mo. It's called cotton candy." She's like teaching a baby how to eat. Sinubukan niya muling subuan si Zach at sa pagkakataong ito sa wakas ay nakumbinsi na niya ang bata.
