Yve stood outside the classroom, waiting patiently for her daughter together with Manong their driver. They had been there for a while now, silently observing the bustling activity around them. Suddenly, Yve's eyes caught sight of something familiar. A woman in a black suit exited the forum, surrounded by a group of happy pupils. The pupils seemed to be in awe of her, constantly hugging and cheering her on.

Without hesitation, Yve immediately hid behind the nearest wall, trying to find her daughter. After a few moments of searching, she finally spotted her. Her daughter was wearing a yellow dress with a ribbon on her head, standing among the other pupils. Yve was about to approach her when suddenly, the woman in the suit approached her daughter first.

Yve's heart skipped a beat as she watched the interaction between the woman and her daughter. She couldn't help but feel a sense of unease and curiosity.

"Alam na kaya niya,? Pero paano niya malalaman eh, hindi niya naman alam na andito kami," bulong ni Yve sasarili.

Chole and Eve POV

"Hi Eve, nice seeing you again," Chole exclaimed, trying to break the silence.

"Oh, hi Ms. Vergara, nice meeting you also. I love your speech, by the way," Eve responded with a smile.

"You've understood my speech? How? My speech is for the faculties," Chole shocked in response.

"Is there any problem about me understanding your speech? You should be thankful because someone appreciated your speech. Those faculties are just faking it; they're not actually listening but rather in love with your voice and face," Eve explained with a disgust expression on her face.

Chole was again humbled by the kid. This was the third time in a row, and she wouldn't let this happen again.

"Okay, let's change the topic. How was your study experience here?" Chole asked, trying to steer the conversation in a different direction.

"Well, this is my first day of class, but it was great. Sure enough, I will be at the top of the class. But if you want a long answer, then ask me that question after a year, then I'll give you a long answer," Eve said with a confident smile.

"As much as I want to have a long conversation with you Ms. Vergara, but probably my mommy is waiting for me so, bye," Eve added.

Meanwhile, pagkaalis ni Eve naiwan mag-isa si Chole, napakamot nalang ito sa ulo at hindi mapigilang mapangiti.

"Grabe talagang batang yung, ganon din kaya anak ko,?" Tanong ni Chole sasarili.

Sa kabilang dako naman nang makalayo na si Eve kay Chole linapitan na ito ni Yve.

"Baby," tawag ni Yve sa anak.

"Mommy, you're here na pala," Eve said as she run toward her mother.

"How was your school today,?" Tanong ni Yve sa anak.

"It was great mommy,  I met this woman, she's pretty intimidating but I love talking to her. I wish we could meet again. And that time I'll probably make a long conversation with her," Eve responded with an obvious smile in her face.

Yve couldn't state a response, hindi niya alam kung matutuwa siya o mag-aalala.

"Well, that's good baby, your making friends. But I rather want you to have a friends that are same age of you," Yve responded.

"I would love to, but I rather talk to older women rather than talking to some vacuous lemmings," Eve responded.

"Baby, that's not very nice, you don't talk to them like that," Yve exclaimed as she was dumbfounded by how her daughter respond.

Eve happy face turn to a sad one, she knew her mother is mad. And Yve noticed this sudden change of an expression. So she kneel down in front of her daughter.

"Baby, I'm not mad it's just I don't like it when you talk bad about people, you're smart so use it for good, you understand,?" Yve calmly said.

Her daughter nodded, with a smile in her face. Yve then kiss her daughter's forehead. As she stand up holding her daughter hand they went to the parking lot as Manong the driver is waiting.

Meanwhile

Nasa labas na ng gate si Chole at hindi maalis sa isipan niya ang nangyari kanina, apat na beses siyang nahumble nung bata, at nakakahiya na. Dahil sa buong buhay niya walang nakagawa sa kanya ng ganun maliban lang kay Yve.

Sasakay na sana siya sa sasakyan niya ng may nahagip ang kanyang mga mata, pamilyar ang babae sa kanya at ang mas nakakagulat pa ay hawak-hawak nito Eve, Oo ni Eve ang batang kinakatakutan niya. Lalapitan sana ni Chole ang babae ng biglang tumunog ang selpon niya.

Chole- Hello, whos this?

Chole- Lilia? How did you get my number.

Unknown- I have my ways to you honey.

Chole- Stop. Don't call or text me again Lilia were done, for almost a year na. Kaya Don't you ever call me again or else.

Unknown- or else honey, you're gonna fuck me again, while moaning that girl name, what's her name again?? Oh, yeah Yve.

Chole- don't you dare say her name hindi mo siya kalevel.

Unknown- kaya iniwan ka din niya kasi di ka niya kalevel.

Chole- shut up, Wala na tayo lilia so stop pestering me.

And with that, ibinaba na ni Chole ang telepono niya at akmang pupuntahan sana ang babae pero nakaalis na ito.

"Yve, hindi kaya nasa Pilipinas na kayo? That ribbon, it seems familiar," bulong ni Chole sasarili.
