'Good morning Vanzy. How are you doing? ' Bentel asked, Vanzy's only human friend.
'I'm good. Good morning '
'Hope you're enjoying this place. It's better than your former place, right? '
'Yea ' he replied, tapping his foot on the ground.
'Spill it out'
'Nothing is wrong with me '
'I know you Vanz. Spill it out. What do you want to say? '
'Since when have you been studying me, uhn? '
'Since the first day of our friendship, dude. I'm waiting '
'OK. Actually, I want you to do me a favor '
'Yea. I know you want me to do something for you, that's why you're tapping your foot on the ground '
'Ugh! this is weird. But I want you to snoop on someone for me'
'Who? A girl? '
'Yes.(sigh) I met her just yesterday. She didn't give me attention, and I wish to know her better. That's why '
'First time of you asking me to snoop on a girl for you, hmm'
'Where is she living ', he added.
'I don't know that yet. But I saw her in this compound yesterday with a little girl. Whenever I see the little girl she was with, I will let you know'
'That might be her daughter, you know '
'No, I don't think so. She might be her sister '
'OK then. Let me know whenever you see the girl'
'You have any food at home? ', he added.
'There's vegetables and milk in the kitchen, if you want'
'Who will eat those things? ', he chortled.
'Order for food then, mister'
'Before you say. Give me your phone or you order for me '
'Why will I order for you, when you're earning your own money? '
'If you have anything to say to me, I'm in my room, OK? '.
He left.
'Like seriously? Miser! '

'Excuse me ', a customer called out.
'Welcome to our restaurant, sir. What should I serve you? ', Clitche said.
Recognizing the voice, the man look up to see the person that attend to him.
'Clitche!? '
'Oh my! Cory? '
'Wow! Is this you? Oh ma! You're .... You're now wow. I mean, WOW', he said, hugging her.
'Are you born to tease someone? (she chortled) How have you been? You're now a biggie. How about those friends of yours, are you still together? '
'We've departed ever since we graduated from college. So... '
'That's good'
'Why that? '
'You guys mustn't grow up together,you guys are devils. Remember what you guys did to the teacher that beat Jety's sister? You poured glue on the teacher's chair. Imagine'
'(chortled) I can't still forget the look on his face.'
'But honestly, I'm a changed person now', he added.
'Oh! you? ', she asked in surprise
'Yea'
'OK then. So, what do u want to have? '
'I'm no more hungry. You've filled my stomach already.'
'You better eat. I won't force you to eat, you're not a baby. I know you never play with food, so call me when you're ready. I have to attend to others. Take care', she left.
*This is definitely another chance to prove my love to her. I will give it whatever it takes *, he thought.

'Jay, what says the time', Clitche asked.
'30 minutes past 6', Jay replied.
'I should get going now, I'm late already. (Removing her apron, placing it on the table ) Bye. See you tomorrow'
'See you tomorrow. Bye', he waved at her.
*Outside*
'What are you doing here, Cory? Don't tell me you've been here since afternoon ' , Clitche queried at the sight of Cory, leaning against his car, outside.
'Yes, you're right '
'Why? And why can't you come inside instead of waiting outside? '
'Nothing. I want to take you home today. I went to your former residence, I was told you have moved out '.
'Okay. Let's get going, I'm late already '.
