DL 5: His Servant?

Vile POV

It's been a long time since I last saw Zion. I'm really glad to meet him again. It's so sad because he didn't recognize who I am.

Siguro nga hindi naman ganoon ka-importante sa kanya ang una naming pagkikita so he forgot it but I'm sure that he will remember me if I will tell him.

I'm here at the school. Nakikinig ako sa lessons ng prof namin. I'm really happy to have this life. I feel so blessed and I know that I'm just lucky.

"Mr. Zion, can you please give one of the essential features that entrepreneurs should possess," sabi ng prof.

Tumayo si Zion. It looks like he is having a hard time in answering the question. I should help him.

"Come on, Mr. Strauss! We are studying business here! You should know it," sabi ng prof.

Medyo masungit ang prof namin. Hindi ko matiis na 'wag tulungan si Zion. Nandito ako dahil sa kanya so I should help him. I owe him everything that I have now.

Kumuha ako ng notebook. Mabuti na lang at nasa harapan ako ni Zion. I wrote the answer using a marker para makita niya.

"Entrepreneurial Heart Flame," Zion said.

I smiled a bit. I'm glad to help him. Mabuti at nakita niya agad ang sinulat ko.

"Very good Mr. Zion Strauss. You may sit now," our prof said.

I believe that Zion is smart. He is just busy these days kaya wala pa siyang time mag-review. I will do everything I can to help him.

I felt his hand on my shoulder.

"Thanks Vile," he whispered.

Ngumiti na lang ako. I will do everything to fulfill my promise to him. I'm just starting. Utang ko sa kanya ang lahat lalo na ang buhay ko.

"Mr. Vortex, please stand. Tell me the meaning of Entrepreneurial Heart Flame," our prof said.

Tumayo na lang ako para mag-recite.

"It is just about the passion to discover and enter into a business," I said.

"Very good... You may seat now."

Umupo na lang ako at nagbasa na ako ng libro.

After a few hours, natapos na rin ang klase namin. Half day lang naman kami ngayon.

I am here at the corridor. I'm walking with Zion and his friends.

"Vile, hindi naman namin alam na matalino ka pala," sabi ni Wanda.

"No, I'm not. Nagbasa lang ako ng book kanina. I should study hard para hindi sayang ang pinapaaral sa akin ng tita mo. I don't like wasting even one penny," I said.

"Naks naman! Healer ka nga talaga. You're kind... Tama lang na ikaw ang pinili ni lola na healer sa guild," Sandra said.

I just smiled at them. I like to have so many friends. I'm so lucky to have everything like this.

"Oh paano? We should go home," Zion said.

"So... Saan ka naman tumutuloy ngayon Vile? We want to hang out in your house," Dexter said.

"Sorry guys, sa akin muna tutuloy si Vile and I don't like hanging out in my house," Zion said seriously.

"Yes naman, Zion is so strict. I don't know na close na pala kayo. Parang kahapon lang medyo ayaw mo kay Vile," Jared said.

Well, I can't blame Zion. It's my fault. I acted so weird but I didn't how to approach him. My bad...

"So, kayo lang palang dalawa ang magkasama sa isang bubong?" Dexter asked.
