POV Shar

'Shar, I'm listening," Donny said.

"Donny..."

Then suddenly I heard someone calling Donny.

"Donny, where are you?"

"Mom, wait, I'm talking to Shar," Donny told his mom.

"Shar, what do you want to say?"

"Donny, next time, I'll just tell it next time."

I immediately lost my confidence upon listening to Donny's mom. I felt like cat got my tongue.

In the morning, as I am in my Grandma's garden...

"Sharlene...where are you?" Asked nanay.

"I'm here at the garden Nanay," I replied.

"Sharlene, Donny is here," nanay told me.

I can't believe to what I heard. I felt like I was frozen from what I am doing.

"Shar, I'm here," Donny breaks the silence.

I turned my back.

"Donny, who told you to come here? Don't you know that you needed rest? What if something happens to you?"

"Shar, relax...I'm okay."

"Sharlene, I have to prepare snack, wait  here."

"No nanay, we will just come inside the house if we need some."

"Okay, I'll see your grandma."

Nanay left us two at the garden.

"Shar, your grandma likes roses."

"Maybe."

"Do roses need water everyday?"

"I don't know, but I think so."

"They say, it's best thing to water roses early in the morning."

"How do you know?"

"Mom likes roses too. She likes taking care of plants. She never missed a day without watering them."

"What will happen if she missed one day?"

"They will feel sad."

"Donny, they don't have feelings, you know."

"Since you have feelings, how would you feel if you don't see me?"

"Donny, that's exactly a different topic."

"I miss you Shar," he suddenly told me.

I am about to say I miss him too but grandmama came to welcome Donny.

"Shar, I haven't meet your friend, come inside the house let's talk inside."

"Ah, granma, he's Donny. Donny, she's granma."

"I'm happy to meet you grandma," Donny greeted Granma. "Ah, granma, your roses are beautiful. And all your plants here of course."

"Happy to hear that hijo. Do you like taking care of plants as well?"

"Actually, it's my mom who really like granma, but I think I just started to like it as well."

"That's good then, Sharlene hija, I think you should start liking it too," Granma told me.

Inside the house...

"Granma, do you know I like cooking?"

"Donny..." I tried to stop him.
