I pulled over. Nakalampas na kami sa startoll dito sa Batangas. I tapped her. Maddie, we are here in Batangas. Nagising na siya. Ang cute niya tingnan.

Diretso ka lang bei, i'll tell you where to turn over till we reach it. Sabi niya habang kinukusot niya mata niya.

Fly, ano ba 'tong pupuntahan natin? Chinika ko si Mads baka makatulog nanaman ito. Bagot na bagot na nga ako kanina sa biyahe e. Siguro naman she rested enough na.

Café. Tipid niyang sagot.

What mads? Cafe lang dinayo natin sa Batangas e may starbuck naman sa Katip. Nabigla naman ako don. Nakakaloka ha.

Hindi lang yun basta café, i owned this one.... Well i co-owned this. Pag-oopen ni Maddie sa akin. First time beh, the usual maddie kasi tahimik, not showy sa feelings pero nakikisama.

It must be something special. Knowing Maddie, hindi yan palabas. Tahimik. Busy sa studies. Volleyball. Davao. Family. Same routine. But you can't judge a person even tho you've been with them in a long time.

Xy's café. Weird name huh? She giggled as she traveled back to her memories.

"It was a gloomy afternoon in Batangas when Maddie though of going outside. She loved it. She's different if you must say for a young girl at nine. She loved rains and cold weather while reading a book. She went to park to observe the skies.

Hi. Ako nga pala si Xlyn(read as sailyn) Perez, anong pangalan mo? Maddie being maddie she just ignored her.

Gusto kitang maging kaibigan. M-m-madelene yrenea? Ako ang magbibigay ngiti sayo. It made little maddie chuckle because every once in a while walang tao hindi magkakamali sa pagbigkas ng pangalan niya so she stood up and lift up her confidence and greeted Xlyn because she made Maddie smile with that ba at of her's.

Hi Xlyn, i'm Madeleine Yrenea Madayag. Giving her cutest smile.

Hi Madeleine Yrenea Madayag, i'd love to call you Yrenea. Okay lang ba sayo? Kita sa mukha ang pagkalito ni Maddie kasi mas pinili niyang gamitin ang second name neto.

Why Yrenea? But that's okay naman. Napa-isip 'to.

Mas na aaprpreciate ko kasi ang mga second names. Bakit pa kasi tayo binigyan ng second name kundi lang naman gagamitin di ba? Tumatanong pag sang-ayon ni Maddie.

So i guess Xlyn's your second name too? She pat the seat beside here and little did she know that there's the connection, the bond that could never be broken between them.

Yes, the name's Yzza Xlyn Perez. Mama just loved to use the un used letter in the alphabet that's how she created my name. Pagkkwento neto.

Weird right? Second names. Little did they know that was the start of a blossoming friendship."
