Chapter 2: The Entrance Exam

"Just, promise me that you will never forget me no matter what happens. I will wait for you till you come back here, and by that time I will still love you and I will fight for you !." - The boy told me while he was crying.

"I'll promise you that someday we will meet each other, and I will never forget you. I know this is hard for both of us. But promise me that you will wait for me until I come back." - I'm also crying, said the child.

"Gail, let's go, we're going to miss our flight to America." - Mommy said while pulling me away from the boy.

"But mom, I don't want to go. Please, I don't want to leave him." - I'm struggling I promise mommy. We are here in the waiting area of the airport and my tears continue to flow. I never thought that at a young age I'll feel this so much pain. It's so hard for me to leave him, especially that there's something between us.

I didn't realize that mommy was beside me. I keep on thinking because that's why this happens to me. Why do I have to experience it? The difficulty is pain.

"Sorry son, this shouldn't be the life you should experience, but I need this for your own good and to make you safe." - mommy's sad promise by my side.

"Why mom, Why do I have to leave him? He's good to me, he's a part of me and you know that. It hurt me so much mom, please tell me, why? Why do you need to protect me? Why do we need to go far away? I'm happy here naman po ahh " - umiiyak parin na saad ko ki mommy. Many questions bothered my mind in those moments because I don’t know what happens, I don’t have any idea that there are people I want to use just to bring down my parents ’business.

"Listen, son, I know someday you will understand everything why I or we are doing this to your daddy. You are our only child and I can't stand it if something bad happens to you. And as for him, children "For you, if you really are for each other, destiny will make a way for you to meet again and be together again. For now, I hope you understand the situation first because it is also for you." - Mommy's long promise.

I still don't understand all that is happening. All I know is that I will keep his promise to wait for me until I return to the Philippines.

"Tok, Tok, Tok, Young Master, it's seven in the morning. wake up already, Manang is waiting for you " - said a nanny.

"I'm awake" - I replied.

"oh okay, just come down for breakfast" - she replied again.

"yes." - I answered again and then heard her leave the barrier of the door of my room.

Honestly, I woke up a while ago after dreaming about the scene of the two children again. All I know is that I am the one because his face is clear in my dream, but that one child is Blurred. I have been dreaming about it for a few days since I decided to return to the Philippines. It's like there is something in the past that happened. But as far back as I can remember, I haven't had an accident or changed my head so that I can forget this scene since I was a child.

I never ask my parents about it because maybe what else will they say. I believe that sooner or later I will also know who that boy is and why he said those words and his promise that he will wait for me until I return.

It's been a few days since I came here to the Philippines, I've done a lot and been to schools where I took the entrance exam. Actually, I applied for the Entrance Exam to five schools and I've finished those four. that's just the result. And today is the last school where I will take the Exam, I found out that this school is very popular and they have an annual explosion so I pretended to send an application for the exam and they schedule me today.

So instead of thinking about anything, I just prepared and took a shower, because today is the last school I will take the exam. I took the towel and went to the bathroom to take a shower and I did my daily routine. After I took a bath I put on a simple black shirt, white pants, and white shoes. Even though I'm a rich child, I still prefer a simple life. So even in clothing, it's simple.

After that I took my bag and went out of my room and went downstairs, I went to my kitchen where I reached Manang Nelia who was preparing the table.

"Ohh son, there you are. Come here and sit down and have breakfast because it looks like you have another walk today." - said Manang Nelia. So I came over and sat down before she answered.

"Ahh, yes, I'm leaving now because I have another school to go to." - I said while spooning the fried rice.

My breakfast is simple, it's very common on a table when having breakfast. Fried rice, bacon, fried eggs, and milk.

"Ahh, is that so, Ohh All right I'll leave you first and I'll tell Kiko to get the car ready, Maybe you're still weak." - Manang Nelia promised again.

"No Manang, my schedule is still 9 am ehh, so it's okay, and Mang Kiko already knows that. What's better just come with me to eat. It's disgusting because no one eats at the same time " - I made a long promise to Manang

I also miss our bonding like this, even if it's just a simple conversation while eating. Because since I was young when I was still here in the Philippines, Mang Kiko and I were always with my food when mommy and daddy were on business trips.

"Man, we're leaving" - I promised him that he would take me out of the house where mang Kiko was waiting.

"Ohh, he'll take care of you ha! Kiko take care of the Young Master, we might lose our jobs when something bad happens to him." - said Manang

"What are you, Nelia, when did I leave the Young Master" - Mang Kiko replied

"It's good to make sure Kiko." - Manang promised again

I just laughed in my mind because every time I leave the house this is what Manang to mang Kiko always says. She always tells Mang Kiko to watch over me. It's like I'm going to disappear every day I leave not only mang Kiko is with me because I have two more baddy guards with me but I don't bring them too close to me because maybe what people think here. So somehow I know I'm safe.

So even before the couple quarreled, I boarded the van that would take me to school and I finally said goodbye to Manang. And Mang Kiko got on board and we left.

After a few minutes and we arrived, it's good that there isn't too much traffic so I'm not late knowing one of the problems here in the Philippines is traffic.

--------

After the whole day, I finally finished all the exams and I just wait for the email about which School I passed. I'm so confident that I will pass but one thing is not sure about the last one because their exam is so hard no wonder why many want to study there but the exam just failed. That School also produces good quality of education most of the graduates there are famous business tycoons if not famous in other fields like fashion, showbiz, Model and many others. And that includes my parents. I never tell them that I take the Entrance Exam where they are galling so it is no wonder that they are known not only here in the Philippines, but also around the world.

Before I went home, I first thought of going to the mall to refresh my mind. I was too drained by the difficulty of the exam. I also want to go around the mall because even though I've been here for a few days, I haven't tried to go to the mall because my priority is the exam first, so now that it's over, I'll relax first.

Mang Kiko drove down the road to the nearest mall here where we passed and he said that it belonged to my parents. So I also agreed to just go there since it was my parents.

After a few minutes of driving we finally actually arrived, I think it's almost a half-hour driving from the school to here and since we went home early I will enjoy it first. It's only 4:30 in the afternoon. I got out of the van and entered the mall and saw so many people doing their own thing. At these times don’t know where good to go so I first thought of eating at one of the fast-food chains here in the mall. Actually, we have easy choices for the stall here.

While I was waiting for my order and a man approached my table, I was surprised when he suddenly spoke.

"Can I set here, if you don't mind, the other table is full" - he said?

So, I look around and he was right, almost all the tables were already folded and only my table was empty. I wasn't raised to be stingy so I didn't do anything.

"Yeah, Sure." - My short answer.

"Thank you. By the way, I'm Keann Joshua, Keanne for short, nice meeting you." - he promised and introduced me and he sat down.

"Welcome. I'm Aizen Gail, Aizen for short nice meeting you too." - I answered. I don't know why I introduced myself to so even now we just met. But deep inside he looks so familiar to me. I was even surprised by his answer but I just didn't notice.

"Your name seems familiar, I think I heard him somewhere I just can't remember" - he said.

"Is that so, maybe it's just someone else" - I said without noticing my surprise.

Keanne and I's order arrived and while eating we happily talked it feels like we've known each other for a long time because we're so comfortable with each other so I didn't realize it was night.

I said goodbye to him and he said that this was not our last meeting, I hope he was right. I learned a lot about him and he is also a rich child, his parents are also the owner of some of the well-known brands not only local but also International.

After that scene, I decided to go home because Mang Kiko was upset, he had been waiting for me for a while. So I bought a greeting card for him and my housemates. I simply bought it, I just bought pizza for them. I also thank you for taking care and watching over me while I am here in the Philippines.

Before I forget, I'm almost a week here in the Philippines but you haven't known me, by the way, I'm Aizen Gail Hernandez, 17 years old, incoming Grade 11 Student and here in the Philippines I thought of studying. Although there were many threats about me because my parents wanted to bring down the business so at a young age they had to take me and take me with them to the US. My parent owns 19 different types of business such as Aerospace Industry, Transport Industry, Computer Industry, Telecommunication Industry, Agricultural Industry, Construction Industry, Education Industry, Pharmaceutical Industry, Food industry, Health care Industry, Hospitality Industry, Entertainment Industry, News Media Industry, Energy Industry, Manufacturing Industry, Music Industry, Mining Industry, World Wide Web Industry at Electronic Industry not only in the Philippines but around the world. So maybe that's just how some of their opponent's mommy and daddy want me to be used just to bring them down.

As for my Physical Features, I can't deny that I'm a good-looking, tall, well-built, balanced weight. In short handsome.

So after a tiring day, Mang Kiko and I and the two bodyguards who were with me all day went home. I really enjoy this day so I want to rest. When I handed over the pizza boxes I bought and I went straight to my room and changed my house.

After I was able to exchange, I first went to my study table and opened the laptop to check my email.

And it opened up to me. The email of each School where I took the exam.

I was surprised while looking at the result I got from four prestigious schools here in the country. I never thought I would get that much. Well, I can't deny that I'm really smart, even if we say I'm home study way back in the US. While I was thinking like that, a new email suddenly popped up to me, and to my surprise, it's from the last school where I took my last entrance exam a while ago. The speed is supposed to release the result. Just a few hours ago there was an immediate result. So I didn't flake anymore so I immediately opened it and read it.

After I read the contents of the email, I couldn't help but be stunned by the screen of my laptop because it hadn't sunk in on me yet, despite the difficulty of their exam, I was able to participate in the rank and Top 4. According to the email, if the students in the rank do not enroll, they will be promoted or replaced by those who follow them.

After a few minutes and I recovered and immediately called Mommy just to inform her.

"Mom, I did it. I'm so happy." - I shouted as soon as mommy answered my call.

"You did what Sweetie? What's happened, why you're so happy ha?" - mommy said

"I passed the entrance exam in Diamond Academy, I Can't believe it mom." - I answered happily

"Ohh, I'm happy for you Sweetie, Congratulations" - he replied again

"Thanks, Mom" - I replied again

"Before I forgot sweetie, I know the Principal of Diamond need help?" - mom asked

"Thank Mom, But I can handle myself" - I replied again

"Okay, Just remember if you need help don't hesitate to call us ha !! Sige na I need to go na .. bye I love You !! - saad niya

"All right. Bye. I love you too Dad." - My last answer before I finally turned off my call to mommy

I breathed in my bed with a smile because of the sheer joy I was feeling. Worth it all I'm tired of and going on with it.
