Zoe's Life

Arwin's POV

Ilang araw na ang nakalipas sa mga nangyare at nagkasundo naman silang Zack, si Yuri, ang anak ng pinsan ko, at si Zoe.

Dami naring katuwaang naganap saamin ni Whitney, napalapit na siya ng sobra saakin. Parang siya na din ang ikalawang nag tatayong ina ni Zoe.

Andito kami sa isang plaza na kung saan dito kami kumakain at nag papahangin.

Malamig ang lugar na 'to, dito rin kami nagkakilala ni Ria nung kami ay mga bata pa.

Ang sarap balikan nung nakaraan pero, wala na pala ang taong minahal ko noon. Dumating si Whitney sa buhay ko, naging mapayapa ang buhay ko dahil na rin sakanya.

Malapit na rin akong maging doktor, ang pangarap ko na gusto kong ibahagi sa anak ko.

Ang pangako ko kay Ria, na tutulong ako sa mga tao. Malapit na anak. Malapit na.

Zoe's POV

I knew everything, I knew that my mom died while giving me birth. I didn't expected all of this, I don't deserve this. Why mom? Why?

I'm in elementary, I have alot of friends! I really love the people here! My father teach me how to help people like what he did as a Doctor, he even made his own hospital, he got the success that he deserve, I'm very proud of my dad.

Yuri was very cold to me right now but whatever, she's a naughty friend of mine! Well, she is the daughter of my father's cousin, so I didn't expect that.

My life was too difficult, I have Tita Whitney in my life, like I hate her! Even though she's married with my dad! She flirt so much to dad! But kuya Zack never failed as my kuya, he's in high school.

"Yuri! Yuri! Wait! Hoy wait nga!" sigaw ko kay Yuri, nag tatampo lang siya sa'kin kanina dahil lang sa ballpen!

"What? You stole my pen earlier! Give me my pen back kung gusto mong magkabati tayo hmp!" seriously? Wow.

I gave her pen back, whatever I have a lot in my bag. Dad will take me home later, maybe I'll invite Yuri to play with me to the playground in the school.

"Yuri, laro tayo? Dun lang sa playground, habang naghihintay kay daddy" sabik na sabik na akong makapag laro ulit.

"Sure!" pumayag naman siya, madali lang po siya kausap.

Habang tumatakbo ako ay meron akong nakitang lalake na umiiyak, he is a nerd, I can't blame myself for being nerd too.

Nilapitan ko siya, I'm a spoiled girl but at the same time I'm friendly. "Hey, are you okay?" I asked him.

"Zoe, who's this?" Yuri asked me. "Well, I don't know, I just saw him crying".

"Okay lang ako" he answered, he is very shy. Is he hungry? Eh?

"Oh, nasanay ako mag english from my dad and kuya, but why are you crying if you are okay?"

I'm being nice with a boy that I didn't know that much.

"My name is Yuri Faith Liano, nice to meet you" Yuri is such a naughty girl talaga, I'm gonna tell uncle about this, "Tsk, Yuri! I'm trying to know him, what's your name? I'm Zoe Xy Liano, and you are?" naguguluhan ata siya, is there something wrong about my question?

"A-Ali Dav–" hindi siya natapos sa pag sabi ng pangalan niya, such a worst day, someone called him, I think that's his mom.

He just waved his hands, we ended our conversation with him, I hope he's okay.

"Zoe, Yuri" someone called our name, di na rin ako magugulat, well, that's dad with Tita Whitney.

"Daddy! Sorry we went here, we are just bored so..." dad will going to make advices again, di siya gustong nag lalaro kami sa playground kasi masusugatan naman kami.

"Nasugatan ba kayo? We saw you girls talking with a boy, who was that?", right, dad will gonna ask if who's that boy. "A stranger, I mean I don't know him, naawa lang ako sakanya, he is crying alone" I'm too nervous.

"Good, don't talk to people that you didn't know girls, got it?", "Got it po" sabay kaming sumang-ayon.

Hinatid na ni Dad si Yuri kay uncle. We went home late at night, sinalubong ako ni kuya Zack nasa gate palang kami.

"Zoe!", "Kuya Zack!" ngiting nagpapaligaya saamin.

"How's school huh?" should I tell him? "Well, it's good naman kuya, we eated dinner na rin kanina. Kuya kain kana po then I'll go to sleep na" well, yeah pagod na po ako kaya gusto ko munang magpahinga.

"Okay Zoe, goodnight" ginulo niya ang buhok ko.

I went upstairs and getting ready to sleep, I'm too tired.
