Meet Zeira Saldivar, The Heiress. ;) ------------------------------------------------->

-9 years later-

"Bibi. Where are you going?" Mimi shouted at me, while I'm rushing down the stairs. I looked at her wearing a genuine smile nang makababa na ako. Bigla siyang nagkaroon ng hindi maipaliwanag na kaba nang tignan ako and immediately walk towards me, checking my whole body, weirdly.

"You, little girl! Bakit ka bumababa ng hagdan ng ganoon kabilis?!" then she looked at the stairs then me, again. "What if nalaglag ka? Oh my Gosh, bibi! You're making me worry--" I kissed her cheeks and smiled again.

"Mimi, I'm already okay. And maglalaro na po ako sa labas with my friends. I love you." I said then started to walk towards the door. I don't know why Mimi's acting like that. And I know she'll nag again so I just decided to kiss her. 

"Wait, Bibi! Are you sure you're already okay?" Tumingin ako kay Mimi nang nasa pinto na ako. "Opo."

She looks relieved. "Don't get hurt, okay?" Nakangiti na siya habang sinasabi yon. I smiled back, and nodded. "I love you, too, Bibi." Pagkatapos nun, binuksan ko na ang pinto at lumabas.

Tumakbo ako agad papunta sa bahay nila Mishie at Syn. I miss playing with them. Nakakulong lang kasi ako sa bahay since last week. At ngayon lang ako pinalabas nila Mimi at Didi. I guess that's because of what had happened last week? They must be really worried of me. I should say sorry. But then, I'll play first.

Pinindot ko ang doorbell ng bahay nila Mishie nang makarating ako. Agad namang lumabas si Yaya Del at pinagbuksan ako ng gate. Nagulat pa siya nung una and asked me if I'm okay. I smiled and said, "Yes po, ya." She seems satisfied on my answer kaya pinapasok na niya ako. Inilibot ko ang tingin ko sa bahay nila Mishie. She's not here. Itatanong ko sana kay Yaya Del kung nasaan si Mishie pero parang nabasa niya naman yata ang nasa isip ko bago ko pa man masabi. "Nasa garden sila, Zeira." sabi niya kaya nginitian ko siya at tumakbo papunta sa garden sa likod.

I saw Mishie and Syn playing with their barbie dolls there habang nakasalampak sa grass. "Mishie! Syn!" I called out their names to catch their attentions. Para namang nagliwanag ang mga mukha nila when they saw me.

"Waaaaaaah! Zy!" sabay nilang sigaw at tumakbo palapit sakin at niyakap ako ng mahigpit. Eh? What's happening?

"I can't b--breath-e." That's the only thing that I could say. I really can't breathe.

"Ops! Sorry, Zy. Nadala lang kami." and with that, bumitaw na silang dalawa sa pagkakayakap sa'kin, wearing smiles on their faces at teary eyed rin sila.
