             -At Home-

"Ma'am Emely! Come quick!" Richard shouted while carrying me to the sofa

*Tita Emely walks towards me and help Richard carry me to the sofa*

"Oh my goodness.. Ivy? What happened to your leg?" Tita Emely asked worrying about me

"I'm fine Tita.. Its just a minor injury" I said after Richard and Tita Emely puts me to the sofa

"Please get ice from the fridge and wrap it with a cloth for Ivy's sprained leg, Richard" Tita Emely odered Richard

*Richard left and walks to the kitchen*

"Tell me.. What happened to your leg?.. Why didn't you call me to fetch you from school?" Tita Emely asked

".. I fell.." I lied

"Really?.. Cause your eyes doesn't seem to be telling the truth..." Tita Emely suspects me

*silent*

"Ivy.. I've known you for almost 3 years.. I've been observing you.. How you act.. How you tell the truth.. And how you lie" Tita Emely added

*silent*

"Tell me.. Who did this to you?" Tita Emely asked

"It... It was an accident.." I said

"Accident?!" Tita Emely shouted

"Y-Yes" I replied

*Tita Emely calms down*

"Accident or not.. Tell me the whole story" Tita Emely said

"Me and my classmates were practicing for the upcoming school event.." I started to explain

"And?" Tita Emely asked

"There was this part when we all jump for the ending.. The time when I jumped.. Someone's foot accidentally reached mine so I fell" I said

"WHAT?!.. Is that what even what you call ACCIDENT?!" She shouted

"Tita.. Please calm down.. Please.. You might get another heart attack again" I said worrying about her health

"Sorry.. I was just.. Shocked.. Worried.. And furious.. I don't even know what I'm feeling right now" She said

*Richard came*

"Here's the ice.." Richard gave the ice to Tita Emely

*Tita Emely grabbed the ice*

"Thank you Richard.. You may go now" Tita Emely said

*Tita Emely walked towards me then and sat down.. She grabbed my sprained leg and rest it on her leg.. She then put the wrapped ice on my leg slowly and gently*
