Bab 6: Another day.
After staring at the paper for awhile, Carla's mother turned to Carla. " Did your friend, Leon really made this, Carla? Did you see him wrote it in front of you? "
" Yes mommy. Leon made that in front of me and he is so fast too. Leon supposed to teach me how to read the time too but I... I can only count up to twenty so Leon stopped and just made this for me. " replied Carla innocently.
Pauline fell silent but she's genuinely surprised hearing Carla's confirmation. If what her daughter said was true, then this boy, Leon, might be a talented and smart child. She can't believe that her daughter was able to meet and also befriend someone like that at the very first day of school.
But this is also a good thing. The boy seemed to care for her daughter and also willing to teach her Many things. L It means that this boy called Leon can be a good influence for her daughter. Thinking up-to here, Pauline became even more curious to meet Leon.
" You're lucky to have a friend like him, Carla. Introduced me to Leon tomorrow okay? For now, mommy will teach you how to read these numbers. Do you want that? "
" Really mommy? I like it, I like it. I want to be as good as Leon. " replied Carla happily.
Pauline smiled then started teaching Carla how to count.

Back to Leon's side.
Around thirty minutes after she left, Christina finally returned back with a smile on her face. She immediately went inside the house and saw Leon sitting on the chair with his head slumped on the table. He looked so bored.
Christina approached him. " Leon, I talked to your father and told him about what you did earlier. He was so happy and asked me to say that he's very proud of you. "
" When will father come back, mom? "
That was what Leon wanted to know the most because in his past life, his father was always away, working to support them.
Hearing his question, Cristina fell silent. She didn't know what to say or how to respond at all. She was caught off-guard. It's only a few minutes after that did she finally spoke.
" Listen to me, Leon. Your father is working so he can support us. He has to go away but he will comeback next month. Why did you asked? Do you already miss your father, Leon? "
" Mn. I kinda, mom. " Leon answered honestly. " But I also have you here with me, mom so I'm not sad at all. "
" That's right. I will always be here to take care of you. " Christina can't help but be a bit emotional and hugged Leon. " You know what? I also told your father about the things you want me to buy and he agreed. Tomorrow I'll buy you those things. How was that? Are you happy? "
" Mn. Thank you mom. You're the best! " Leon also hugged her mother back.
* Giggles *
" Okay then. Just stay here for awhile as I start preparing our dinner. "
" Mn. Take your time, mom. "

The next day.
Around 7 am in the morning, Leon's mother once again knocked on his door to wake him up.
Leon quickly got up and went out to wash his face and mouth before going to the dining room to eat breakfast. As usual, Leon then took a bath before heading to school with his mother.
" Mom, why don't we just walk next time? The school was only a few minutes walk away from our house. "
" Because you are still too young, Leon. I don't want you to get tired before you even arrive at school. "
" But I won't get tired so easily, mom. It's only a few minutes walk after all. Besides, I need to exercise too. " insisted Leon. But Christina wasn't buying any of that.
" What exercise? You are still too young for that. No means no okay? Perhaps we will do that when you're in Grade 1 but not now. Look, we are here. " The two of them went off the jeepney and went inside the school compound.
" Leon! "
As they are walking, someone suddenly called his name from behind so Leon stopped his steps and turned around. There he saw Carla, waving her small hand at him as she walks towards his direction.
Walking beside her was Pauline. She was a bit surprised when her daughter suddenly called out to someone right after they arrived at school but she didn't say anything when she heard the name. She also wanted to meet and know who this Leon really was. What made her daughter liked him a lot?
" Come on mommy. Walk faster. "
" Alright. But be careful, Carla. You might trip yourself. "
Carla pulled her mother and stopped in front of Leon. " Good morning, Leon. I want you to meet my mommy. Mommy this is Leon. and.... and..... his mommy too? " Carla confusedly said when she saw another woman standing beside Leon.
" Good morning too, Carla and Auntie. Wow, your mother is so beautiful, Carla. " Leon didn't expect Carla's mother to be like this.
The woman was quite tall and really beautiful. She resembles the female actress Bella Padilla in Leon's past life but a lot more beautiful.
' No wonder Carla is so cute. ' Leon thought to himself.
Pauline also took a few glances at Leon, observing him. She is really curious and wanted to learn more about this boy that her daughter seems to like a lot. When she heard what he said, she smiled at him.
" So you are Leon? Carla told me about you yesterday. Thank you for taking care of my daughter. " She then turned to Leon's mother before reaching out her hand and said, " Nice to meet you, ma'am. I'm Pauline De Guzman, Carla's mother. Nice to meet you. "
" Nice to meet you too, Pauline. Can I call you that? I'm Christina Reyes, Leon's mother. " replied Christina as she also reached out her hand and shook hands with Pauline.
" What an adorable little girl. So your name is, Carla? Leon also told me about you yesterday. Hello, I'm his mom. You can just call me Auntie Christy if you want. "
" Aun..tie Cu..christey. Auntie Christy. " said Carla.
Both Pauline and Christina laughed when they heard her say that. Carla is just so cute at that moment.
Leon on the other hand grabbed Carla's right hand. " Mom, auntie Pauline, Carla and I have to go inside now. "
" Oh, alright then. Here's your snacks and drinks for this morning. Be sure to eat them all okay? "
" I know mom. Thank you. "
Pauline also did the same. " You too, Carla. Don't forget to eat your food okay? I'll see if I can picked you up later. But if not, then I'll ask your grandma to come. "
" Okay mommy. See you later. "
Leon then pulled Carla inside the classroom. The two of them sat down on the same seats they had yesterday. It didn't take long before they started talking to each other, not minding their surroundings.
Pauline and are both watching them from the outside, they both find it fun seeing their children get along very well.
" Do you have extra time, Pauline? Let's grabbed a coffee first? "
" Sure, sisterChristina. "
The both of them left after that.

Inside the classroom.
" You learned so fast, Carla. Good job. " Leon complimented Carla while gently patting her head.
Carla had just finished showing Leon that she can now count up to thirty which was a bit surprising for Leon.
* giggles *
" Thank you, Leon. It's because of what you gave me yesterday and also mommy taught me last night. "
" Your mommy, did? "
" Mn. But I'm still not as good as you so I'll study even harder. I won't loose to you, Leon. "
" Hehe. Good luck, Carla. I believe you can do it. Don't worry because I'll continue helping you with your study. "
" Okay! Thank you, Leon. Mommy is right, I'm really lucky to have you as my friend. *giggles* "
" Oh, your mother told you that? "
" That's right. Mommy said that yesterday after I told her about you. I also told mommy that you can used magic Leon.... Aahh! I forgot. I promised mommy that I'll let her see your magic, Leon. But.. but she left already... What should I do Leon? I'm.. I... I don't want to be a bad girl. "
Leon was taken aback seeing the sudden changes on the little girl's expression.
" Bad girl? How can you be a bad girl, Carla?What do you mean? "
" Be...because I didn't do what I promised to mommy. Only bad girls doesn't keep their promises. "
" Only that? " Leon almost facepalmed himself. This little is simply too pure
" Don't worry Carla. If you want, then we can still do that tomorrow. "
" Is that okay? I'm not a bad girl? "
" Of course it's okay. Carla wasn't a bad girl at all. "
" Yehey. Thank you Leon. " said Carla happily. " Oh, look. Teacher Jennifer is here. "
Leon looked at the direction Carla was pointing and saw their teacher walking towards their classroom.
" Let's continue this later,Carla. " He started putting away all of the things on his table inside his bag.
Carla also did the same.
Teacher Jennifer went inside the room and put her bag on the table. She then looked at her students and saw that there's still a few of them so she just smiled. " Good morning everyone. Let's wait for your other classmates first before we start. Just stay in your chair and don't talk too loud, is that okay? "
"""""Yes teacher Jennifer. """""
""""""Good morning. """""""
