บท 13: Little adventure.

The next day.

Around 8:30 am in the morning, at GGDP elementary school compound.

" Leon, over there. Let's go over there. Aah! Look Leon, there's a blue bird there. There's a blue bird! "

Carla today, is similar to a kid who had taken the most potent energy drink in the world. Holding Leon's hand, she's trying to pull him towards the mango tree a few meters away from them.

" Okay okay. We will go there. But can you please relax a little, Carla? Look, you're sweating all over your body now. Come here first. "

Leon took out a face towel from his storage ring and used it to wipe away the sweat on Carla's face and neck.

Leon never expected her to be insanely energetic like this. Just what kind of breakfast did she had today? She's hyperactive and Leon was afraid that Carla might fall on the ground and hurt herself.

* giggles *

" Thank you, Leon. " Carla went in front of Leon and let him wiped the sweat on her face away. After that, she looked at him with an amazed expression on her face and said, " I saw that Leon! The towel suddenly just appeared in your hands. How did you do that?? "

" You are just seeing things, Carla. I didn't do anything. "

" Eh? No way! Leon was baddie. Lying is bad. You promised no lying between us.. right? " Carla pouted her lips and turned her head away.

" Okay, okay. I'm sorry, okay? It's magic. I used magic. "

" Really?? Then teach me magic too, Leon. I want to do magic too. " Carla was looking at Leon with a hopeful expression on her face.

Leon isn't sure how to respond to this so he just answered, " Sure. In the future. "

It's not like he didn't want to teach, Carla. But the question is, how can he teach her magic?

Leon didn't even know a single magic trick without using his storage ring. He can only hope that he can divert this girl's attention into something else so she will stop asking him about magic for now. " Let's go Carla, we will see the bird you are talking about earlier. "

" Oh. That's right. Let's go Leon. Let's go. The big bird is over there and not moving. "

Carla quickly forgot the thing about magic and allowed herself to be pulled by Leon. It seems like that bird has its nest there on top of the mango tree as Leon can see piled up dried weeds and twigs on one of the tree's branches. It's a bit far though so he's not sure.

...

The reason why both Carla and Leon were still outside their classroom at this time was because their teacher asked them to do so. Not only Leon and Carla but also their other classmates are outside roaming around the place

Teacher Jennifer wanted to teach them about sounds today and going outside their classroom was the best way to do that. She asked them to seek for different kind of sounds around them and also to figure out the source of that sound.

Jennifer made them pair up with each other so they can look for different sounds together. She also asked them to always stay near her so she can watch over them.

Carla immediately grabbed Leon's hand after she heard their teacher Jennifer talked about pairing up and finding a partner. As if she's afraid that Leon will be taken away by others.

...

" Look Leon, over there. The bird was saying something but..... it's... I can't hear it clearly. Can you hear it, Leon? " Carla asked while the two of them was staring at the bird the tree above them.

" Hmm.. it's not clear to me either but I think it's 'tweet' and 'chirp'? What do you want me to write here, Carla? " Leon held a pencil and a pad of paper on his hand waiting for Carla's reply.

Unlike their other classmates who can only try to remember the sound they will hear, Leon and Carla can list down the sounds they will hear, along with it's source because Leon knew how to write.

" Write the 'tweet' then, Leon. Because it sounds better for me. " answered Carla after thinking for awhile.

" Alright, 'tweet' then. Blue bird --> tweet. " Leon wrote it on the paper he was holding. After that, he once again looked at Carla. " Where should we go next? "

" Hmm.. Over there. Let's go over there. " Carla pointed at the place where the construction was ongoing which made Leon not know whether to laugh or cry.

' This girl really is daring. ' he thought to himself.

" No, Carla. We can't go there. It's very dangerous. " answered Leon sternly.

" Dangerous? But I can here a lot of sounds coming from that place, Leon. We can finish faster if we go there right? "

" That's true, but it's very dangerous there, Carla. There must be plenty of sharp objects that can hurt you. It will cut your skin and blood will start to come out from it. It's supper red and scary you know? It will al-. "

" Stop stop stop! Please stop it, Leon. Don't scare me. Moah. I don't want to go there anymore. Let's go to other place okay? " Carla waived her hands in front of her, with a teary eyes. It seems like she was really scared by Leon's words.

" Good. Let's go to other place then. How about over there, in the canteen? " Leon pointed towards the direction of the canteen.

" Mn. Let's go there, there are no scary things there right, Leon? "

" Mn. There's none. Let's go. "

The two of them then went to the canteen together. Leon led Carla inside and saw plenty of people there eating their food.

They are mostly the parents of the other students, having their breakfast here. Leon was confused why they will only have their breakfast now as it will be 9 am soon. Perhaps it's early lunch or something?

" There Leon. That auntie over there is making sounds. " said Carla as she pointed her small finger to the woman that is washing the dishes.

" Alright. Let's go near her then. " Leon grabbed her hand and pulled Carla with him.

* Ting *

* Shhhh *

* Clang *

....

Both Leon and Carla listened carefully to different kinds of sounds they can hear coming from the dishes on the sink.

" What should we choose, Leon? There are plenty of sounds here. " Carla asked confusedly.

" That's easy, Carla. Let's write 'shhh' for the water faucet. And 'ting' , 'clang' or something to the dishes and 'Tap Tap' for auntie's footsteps. How was that? " answered Leon, listing a fee examples for Carla.

Carla crossed her small arms on her nonexistent chest for a few moments before she nodded her head cutely saying, " Alright Leon. Let's write that. "

Leon then began writing once again while Carla on the other hand just stared at the paper on Leon's hand. She still can't help but be amazed on how Leon learned how to write already. They are of the same age but the gap between them was huge. Carla decided that she will learn how to write as soon as possible so she can catch up to him.

The two of them then looked for more sounds inside the canteen before finally went out to go see their teacher. They have listed plenty of sounds already and that's probably enough. No. More than enough.

..

Teacher Jennifer who's busy watching over her other students saw Leon and Carla approaching. " You two are back, Leon, Carla? How's your journey? "

" It's great, teacher Jennifer. Me and Leon heard plenty of sounds and also found out their sources. " Carla proudly answered as she patted her still nonexistent chest.

" Ohhh.. That's very good. Can you give me an example of a sound you and Leon heard then, Carla? "

" Mn. Sure teacher Jennifer. We saw a blue bird over there on top of that mango tree and it's making a sounds like ' tweet ' and ' chirp ' but I told Leon to write ' tweet ' because it sounds cute. And ..and... many more. Here teacher Jennifer. " Carla handed the paper to their teacher so she can read it herself.

" What's this? " Jennifer received the paper Carla handed her. She looked at it and saw a small list about different things and their sounds. Jennifer can't help but laugh a bit when she read the words, [ ' Singing Uncle ' --> Thunder(kaboom) ] written on it.

' These two kids are quite funny. ' she thought.

After reading the paper, teacher Jennifer nodded to both Leon and Carla. " Very good Leon, Carla. You two have listed quite a lot here. Hmm... wait, who helped you to write all of this? "

" Helped us? No one helped us, teacher Jennifer. It was Leon who wrote everything on that paper. "

" Leon? You mean... what?! " Jennifer exclaimed before looking at Leon. " Is that true Leon? Are you really... the one who made this list? You... you know how to write already? And... and in English at that?! "

Seeing her reaction, Leon scratched the back of his head before he slowly nodded. " Yes. I made that list teacher Jennifer. And yes, I know how to write. Was it really that surprising?"

Teacher Jennifer was speechless.

' Surprising? No. It's unbelievable! ' she shouted inside her mind.

If it's just an ordinary writing, then she might not react like this but that's definitely not the case!

Leon's penmanship was neat and there's no misspelled words in it. How old was he? He was only 5 years old! So how can that be?

Teacher Jennifer stared at Leon for awhile before handing the paper back to him. " Write your full name here, Leon. " Jennifer pointed at the blank area on the paper.

She wanted to make sure if Leon really knows how to write.

Leon of course understood what their teacher is trying to do but he didn't care. Receiving the paper, he used the pencil on his hand to write his name on it.

Leon P. Reyes.

Leon neatly wrote his name on the paper which made teacher Jennifer surprised once again.

So it's true. Leon really knew how to write?

But she wasn't satisfied yet.

" Write my name and Carla's."

" Okay. " Leon replied before writing...

Jennifer Cruz.

Carla De Guzman.

" Introduce yourself like what we did before but this time, write it on this paper. "

" Okay. " Leon responded once again as he started writing on the paper.

[ My name is Leon. Leon Reyes. I lived in Bonuan Boquig, Dagupan City Philippines. I'm 5 years old this year and I want to be the best magician in the future. ]

After writing all of that, Leon handed the paper over to the still stunned teacher Jennifer.

" Leon... you.. I want to meet your parents tomorrow. I need to talk to them. " said teacher Jennifer after she recovered a little.

" My parents? But my father isn't living with us, teacher Jennifer. My mom told me that he's working in a far place so he might not be able to meet you tomorrow. But my mom will come here later to picked me up so teacher Jennifer can talk to her. "

" I see. So that's the case. But I can't meet your mother today because I don't have time. Teacher has a meeting with the principal this afternoon. Can you tell your mother when you go home later that I want to talk to her tomorrow, Leon? "

" Hmm... Alright. I'll tell mom later then, teacher Jennifer.

After that, teacher Jennifer made Leon write more sentences before finally letting him go.

The same day.

Inside a room that looks like an office.

Two person, a middle age man and a young woman can be seen sitting inside. Their facial expressions screams the seriousness of whatever things they are discussing about.

" But attorney, can't we really do anything to prevent that man from seeing my daughter? Me and Carla have been living peacefully now, I don't want him to ruin it by showing up. " Pauline seriously said, looking at the middle age man in front of her.

The middle age man whom Pauline referred to as 'Attorney' shook his head and answered, " You have to understand it, Pauline. We can't do anything to stop Gerald from seeing your daughter because he's Carla's father. He has the right to see his daughter. Agreeing to give you time to slowly introduce him to Carla is already a good thing for you, wasn't it? Also, please call me uncle. "

Pauline can't help but feel disappointed and helpless after hearing that. She came here this morning, hoping that she will receive a good news but it seems like that wasn't the case.

" A good thing? How can that be considered as a good thing, Attorney? From the beginning, I always told Carla that her father was long dead! How can it be easy to introduce him now? Besides, after he left us before, he lost all the rights to be my daughter's father. " said Pauline stubbornly. She's willing to do everything to prevent that man from disturbing hers and Carla's life.

The middle aged man facepalmed himself with both hands, taking a deep breath. " Aren't you the one who told him to leave and stay away? Besides, Gerald told me and your aunt that he didn't know you're pregnant at that time when he left you, Pauline. He's also still unmarried even now and has a stable financial status. Can't you give him another chance? After all, Carla needs a father. And also, I told you to call me uncle. "

" Huh? Yes I did told him to leave but that's because I caught him having sex with his secretary, inside our house! How can I stomach that? So what if he's still unmarried? So what if he's rich? I don't give a damn! I can raise my daughter alone. I alone is more than enough for her. I know he's your nephew Attorney but can't you not side him that much? Uncle Fred is still a lot better than you. "

* Bam! *

" Pauline! Call me Attorney one more time and you can forget about seeing me again to asked for my help about this! Do you really think I'm siding with him simply because he's my nephew? Have you forgotten how I beat the shit out of that bastard after I learned what he did to you? "

"...."

" You should know how much I and your aunt Laura dotes on you, right? I'm not forcing you to get together with him again if you don't want to. I just think that it's good for Carla to have a father figure as she grows up. If you don't want my bastard nephew, then find a new father for her or better, stop denying your aunt Laura's help and accept the money. I know you are a strong woman, Pauline but I also know that it's hard for you to manage that canteen of yours. "

Complained the middle age man to Pauline.

* Giggles *

Pauline let out a very charming laugh after seeing the angry look on her uncle's face in front of her. The middle age man was actually not her real uncle but that 'bastard's' uncle. But this man, along with his wife dotes on Pauline more than their own nephew.

Pauline knew all of this, that's why she came here to asked for his help. But there's no way she will let that out.

In front of Carla, Pauline always acts like a perfect mother figure. Kind, gentle, mature and a very loving mother. But in front of this uncle of hers, Pauline was just like any other young woman around her age. She's stubborn and also, quite mischievous.

" Hmmp! If you don't want to help me the you can also forget about seeing my Carla, u. n. c. l. e.. " said Pauline teasingly.

" Hey! That's unfair Pauline. I can accept you not accepting our financial help but don't you dare take my very lovable Carla away from me. Or else, I will go all out with you! " shouted Pauline's uncle while having a serious expression on his face like as if he really meant what he said.

Pauline simply shrugged her shoulders as she stood up and turned around. " As if I'll believe you, uncle Nad. Thank you for your offer but I can still managed. Money isn't a problem for me yet, I can still provide for all of my daughter's needs. Also, all I need is Carla in my life, as for a man, I don't need any of them. I still have to picked my daughter up from school so I have to go now. Please tell aunt Laura that I will visit her soon if I have time. "

And with that, Pauline started walking towards the door.

The middle age man or should I say, Pauline's uncle just stared at her for awhile before saying, " You're so stubborn Pauline. Make sure to bring my granddaughter with you when you visit. "

Pauline nodded before finally closing the door and left to picked up Carla.

....

11:36 am.

At the front gate of the school Leon and Carla are attending.

The classes had just ended so plenty of students from different levels can be seen in front of the school gate. Some of them are buying things like toys and food from the small shops outside the school while others are waiting for the right jeepney they can ride on to go home.

At this time, a blue jeepney stopped at the side of the road and Pauline got off from it. She was about to go inside when she noticed a woman walking a few meters away from her making her stopped. Pauline recognized that woman as Leon's mother, Christina and the one she had a conversation with just a few days ago.

" Sister Christy! " Pauline called out as she wave her hand towards Christina.

..

As usual, Christina once again came to school to picked up Leon. When she's about a few meters from the gate, Christina heard someone called her.

Christina looked in front of her and saw Pauline standing a few meters away from her waving her hand towards her direction. Christina smiled as she made her way towards Pauline.

" Didn't expect to see you here, Pauline. Seems like your canteen isn't busy today? "

" No sister Christy, I have to do something this morning so I didn't open the canteen. That's why I have a time to come here and get Carla myself. "

" I see. Well, let's go inside then? I'm sure that our children are already waiting for us now. " said Christina and the two of them then went inside the school together.

....

When they are only around 7 to 8 meters away from their children's classroom, Christina and Pauline stopped. It's because they saw both Carla and Leon sitting side by side on the wooden bench outside their classroom.

Carla is leaning her head on Leon's left chest while Leon's left hand wrapped on Carla's left shoulder, hugging her. Looking a bit closer, both Christina and Pauline noticed that Leon and Carla seems to be..... sleeping?

This made them confused, not sure what to do. They can't bring themselves to wake the two children up at this moment simply because of how cute they are, sleeping like that.

Pauline immediately opened her bag and she seems to be looking for something inside. Finally taking out a camera, Pauline went closer to Leon and Carla as she started taking pictures of them.

Pauline inspected the photo she just took and nodded. " Look, sister Christy, these photos are priceless. * giggles * I'll give you a copy of them tomorrow. "

" Mn. Thank you, Pauline. " replied Christina with a smile. " But what should we do now, Pauline? Should we wake them up and go home? "

" That... I also don't know sister Christy but.. I think we should wake them up. If they want to sleep, then it would be better if they'll do it at home, right? "

" Well, you're right. Let's wake them up then. "

" Okay. "

The two of them went beside Leon and Carla to wake them up.

...

* Yawn *

Carla slowly opened her eyes. Seeing the familiar face in front of her, she smiled.

" Mommy? "

" Yep. Mommy came to picked you up today. "

" Mommy! "

Carla immediately stood up and gave her mother a hug.

Leon also opened his eyes and saw his mother so he also got up and hugged her saying, " You came, mom. "

" Yes. But what happened, Leon? Why are you and Carla sleeping here outside? " asked Christina. Pauline was also curious why so she looked at Leon waiting for his answer.

" That.. it's.. because... "

" It's because Leon and I had an adventure mommy. * giggles * " replied Carla as she laughed interrupting Leon's words.

Christina and Pauline looked at each other confusedly before once again looking at Carla and asked, " Adventure? What do you mean Carla? "

" Can I tell you that later, mommy? I'm still sleepy. Let's go home first?" replied Carla weakly. She looks really tired at this moment.

Leon is also feeling the same. This body he has right now is simply too weak and easy to get exhausted.

Seeing the both of them like that, Pauline thought for a moment before looking at Christina. " How about you and Leon come to our house with us, sister Christy? They don't have anymore class this afternoon so let's just eat lunch together in our place? "

" At your house? Are you sure? " Christina didn't mind it but she didn't want to trouble Pauline.

" It's okay. We can also continue talking about the things we discussed before right, sister Christy? " said Pauline as she smiled meaningfully to Christina.

Christina seemed to understand what Pauline was talking about so she nodded her head. " That's a good idea. Let's go then. "

And with that, Pauline and Christina pulled their still sleepy children along with them and left.
