TEARS OF SORROW | ON-GOING

Z A N E

I just woke up from my afternoon sleep because of the noise I heard outside my room. I immediately got up and opened the door of my room, surprised that Daddy had come home.

Dad works as a Pilot, he comes home at least every day, sometimes there are days when he takes a week to come home, and that's why we miss him so much!

"DADDY! You're here! I missed you," I immediately jumped into his arms and hugged him.

Daddy is British, before we lived in the Philippines, we lived in Australia for 5 years. We live in Baguio now.

It was 4 in the afternoon when we decided to go around the city, we ended up at the park, I used to go here before when Dad wasn't that busy, he goes with me every weekend.

As an Eighth-year-old girl who plays alone, one boy caught my attention, he was sitting by himself. I approached and talked to him, I felt he wasn't okay.

"Hello, I am Zane!" I offered my hand for a handshake, he looked at it and smiled.

"I am Vinny," He was really happy when I offered my hand as if he didn't have any friends before.

"Do you wanna play with me?" As a kid, I want everyone to be my playmate.

"I would love too!"

We went on the slide, ran, chased, swung, and just enjoyed the time.

A few hours later it's time to say goodbye.

"Bye Vinny, see you again soon!" I hugged the new friend I met.

"Hope to see you again, Zaney!" he made me a nickname!

Goodbye to my new friend, I don't even know if we'd still meet again. Hopefully, in the future.

THIRD PERSON:

Zane is now a teenager, it's her 10th Grade Graduation Ceremony today. She grew up being bright, intelligent, sporty, and wonderfully raised. She's always a Top Student.

"Zane Ashley Adams" The officials called her name. It's her turn to come up on stage, to receive and grace them. They took and photo and walked confidently carrying her hard-earned medals down the stage.

"Congratulations, Dear," said Stella, Zane's Mom.

"Congratulations, Darling." Her dad Rome also congratulated her.

"Thanks, Mom! Thanks, Dad!" said Zane hugging both of her parents tightly. Shortly after, Stella gave her the gift they prepared for their wonderful daughter. Shock, Zane felt Giddy and Excited when she received the gift.

"A Key?" She smiled a little, confused.

"Yes, Dear. We bought you a Condominium in Manila" Stella.

"We will be leaving this week, we will move to Manila," Rome said. "Aren't you excited?"

"Of course, Yes!"

Zane excused herself and went to her friends to take a picture. Perhaps this would be their last photo together in Baguio before she leaves for Manila.

Afterward, the students left the school to prepare for their graduation party tonight.
