Chapter 21

Ross' POV

Naguusap sila Tita and Justin sa sala. Mukhang iiyak nanaman si Tita kay Justin. Hay! Pupunta muna ako sa garden. Ayokong makitang umiiyak uli si tita, baka maiyak din ako.

Bakit nga ba umiiyak si tita? Bata palang kami, magkakilala na kami ni Zenia. Siguro nung kinder palang kami. Hindi ko siya kamaganak or what. Bestfriend ko lang talaga siya. Never kasi ako iniwan nun eh. Kapag may problema ako, siya yung nanjan para sa akin. Though meron kaming group of friends, kami lang talaga ni Zenia yung consistent na magkaibigan talaga.

Si Tita Enia Salazar and tito Zac Salazar ang parents niya. Mababait yun! kahit mukhang masungit minsan. Ganun naman ang family nila eh? Mukhang masusungit? You just have to get to know them first para di mo sila mamisjudge.

Anyway, ako pala si Ross Smirth. Sabay na nagumpisang magtayo ng business ang parents ko at ang parents ni Zenia. Walang lamangan, kaya nagkakasundo sila. Sabay silang umangat and kapag may problema sa business, nagtutulungan sila.

Wala kaming bahay dito sa Pinas coz our parents decided to take us and live in states for five years then Zenia and I decided to go back here in Ph. to conitnue our study. Ayaw man kami malayo ng parents namin pero pag kasi ginusto naming dalawa ni Zenia, sinusunod nila.

Ayaw kasi ng parents ni Zenia na mabuhay kami sa karangyaan. They want us to live with the normal stage of life. Napaka-down to earth kasi ng parents namin ni Zenia. And kahit malayo na kami sa isa't isa, I can say na, we were raised well. Napalaki kami ng maayos.

Bago pa kami makapunta dito sa pinas, may nanyari ng incident.

*Flashback*

"Mommy? Why am I feeling weak? I'm so weak! I can't stand." Sabi ni Zenia sa parents niya. We're watching DVD, yay!

"Anak? bakit? What do you feel?" 

"Nanghihina ako. I feel tired!" Sabi ni Zenia kay Tita Enia. Teka? Nakahiga lang naman kami while watching DVD ah? What's happening?

"Ha? Naglaro ka ba? Why were you tired?" tanong ni Tita Enia.

"Tita, we didn't play. We just watched Dvd!" sagot ko kay tita.

"Mom, why is it so hard to breathe?" tanong ni Zenia.

Hindi na nakasagot si Tita and we went directly to the hospital. Tito wasn't there because his still working. 

I'm so worried about Zenia. What happened? Tita keeps on walking back and forth. Hinihintay nalang namin yung doctor.

Finally! The doctor went out!

"Doc? What happened to my daughter?" tanong ni tita Enia sa Foreigner na doctor.

"Ahmm, I'm gonna ask some questions. Can you please calm down ma'am?"
