"Who is she?" His Mom asked him when he got home in the early afternoon.

"Oh.. Well, she's the kid's new tutor.." Pa kilala niya sa babaeng kasama niya ngayon.

"Where did she came from?" Curious na tanong ng ina.

"She's a registered teacher majored in teaching Science and Math which the kid really loves.." Paliwanag niya dito.

"But, she somehow looked familiar.. I mean.. where did I see that face?" Nagtataka nitong tanong.

"Ma.. Lahat na lang pamilyar sa'yo.. Well, she did top notch in the Teacher's licensure exam.. So, you may be so her on tv." Dagdag niya dito.

"Oh, that's why. Hija, c'mon. Don't be shy.. Feel at home." Sa wakas ay masiglang bati ng ina dito at ngumiti naman ito.

"You can call me, Ella po. Ella Mondragon.." Naka ngiting pa kilala nito sa ina at kinamayan naman ito ng ina.

"A.. Anak, wh.. why are we getting Greggy a tutor when he's not staying here for good?" Curious na tanong ng ina sa kanya.

"M.. Ma, who knows? He might like it here.. I mean, there's still no news about his Mom.. That's why I already called Damon for adoption paper--

"Oh my God!! You've made the right choice!!" Masayang wika ng ina niya sa kanya.

"Ma, my eardrums.. God." Saway niya dito ngunit niyakap naman siya nito ng mahigpit.

"That's the best thing I've heard this year! Greggy, going to school and me making him his lunch. Oh my.. I'm so, excited.. Should we enroll him now to school?" Excited na tanong nito sa kanya.

"Ma.. Ma.. Relax.. Please.. Tutor pa nga lang." Pigil niya dito.

"I will tell it to your Dad!" Mabilis nitong sabi sa kanya.

"B.. But, what if his Mom officially finds him? Isn't it gonna be kidnapping?" Worried na tanong nito.

"Then.. I'll just see.. If I c..can.. like her.. I mean.. I don't think.. It's gonna be the same without the kid here.." Na pa kamot sa ulo niyang sabi dito.

"A.. Are you serious? What if kamukha siya ni Bakekang?" His Mom asked and he laughed out.

"Mama! Puro ka kaolokohan. Sa'yo pala na tutunan ni Gray ang ka pilyuhan niya." Saay niya dito at pinag tawanan lang siya nito.

"The kid just learnt it on his own. Wala akong kinalaman d'on." Depensa nito.

"See? You have the same tone na." Segunda niya dito at tumawa lang itong muli.

"S.. Sorry, about my Mom.. I mean, ganyan lang talaga 'yan.. And by the way, you can start tomorrow.. I don't want the kid to feel pressured.. So, let's make the session 3x a week only. so, he can still be a kid.." Paliwanag niya dito at tumango naman ito.

"Will it be possible if I can meet the kid?" Ella asked at him.

"Speaking of that kid, where is that brat?" Naka kunot noo niyang tanong ng maalala ito. Nang may marinig na lang sila na mga yabag mula sa swimming pool area.

"Kuya, tabi!!!" Narinig niyang sigaw ni Tray sa kanya mula sa likuran.

"What the hell? When did you arrived?" Nagtataka niyang tanong dito habang na pansin na lamang na basang basa pala ito. Did he swim? But, he still have his tuxedo with him.
