Tears of Sorrow

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.
