HOW HARD WAS IT? 2

"Hi~...." Isa replies, waving at her with a smile. Evelyn then went close to her and hugs, Isa.

"Whoa, what happened?"

"I face fake people just now,"

"Ah... that's hurt..."

"No, no, you are someone else..."

"Okay..." She breaks the hug and smile,

"Wait, how did you know where my school is?"

"Ah... that... I ask,"

"Okay, but how did you get here?"

"By a cab, duh..."

"Oh, clever, then where did you get the money for a cab?"

"What do you think? I don't have money just because I live in the jungle?"

"No, who says so?" Evelyn pretends, and Isa scoffed. Evelyn laugh.

"Aren't you going to show me around your campus? Ms. Art girl?"

"Oh yeah, come on, follow me," Evelyn then toured Isa around their campus.

"You come here right,"

"Oh, you figure out,"

"Your easy to read"

"What! No, I'm not,"

"Yes, you are,"

"Okay, fine! I come here because I know your school will be closed at night, happy?" Isa admitted,

"Right... I didn't think about that the other day,"

"Yeah,"

"Thank you for coming here today, unexpected,"

"Oh, don't be a stranger, I'm your friend,"

"Yeah..."

"Why a long face?"

"No is nothing,"

"Come on, tell me..." Evelyn deep sigh,

"I just wonder why people have different preference and raise,"

"Your point is?" Isa asked,

"My point here is. Why do people want to befriend me only to use me?" Isa turned silent for a moment, thinking about the whole situation, then talk again.

"Well, for me, one thing for sure I didn't use you,"

"I know..." Evelyn deep sigh,

"You know, in this world, we can't complain and choose whom we want to turn out to be. And whom we want to have a parent's all we can do is accept it then avoid things that are toxic and not educated for us,"

"But, do we have to?"

"Yes, to survive and success so we can get what we want,"

"But, why do we need to survive and all? When in the end, we're all just going to die," Evelyn responds, as Isa gets speechless,

"Hmm... you have a point,"

"I know, right?"

"Hmm... All I know is we are all different,"

"Yes, I know that,"

"Good,"

"But, we all have the same goal at the end,"

"Your right,"

"So, what is the difference?"

"I don't know, you ask God, go! Go!"

Isa responds, somehow irritated, for she also doesn't know the answer, then Evelyn laughs upon seeing Isa's expression.

"Sorry, I ask, so many questions,"

"Yes, you do, my head hurt,"

"Oh, sorry about that,"

"No worries, I was joking. You have a point you know I also want to know the answer," Isa admits, also curious.

After their tour, Isa then bid her goodbye for is Evelyn time for class,

"I see you later tonight,"

"Okay, go home safe, Isa. Thank you for coming," Evelyn waving as Isa nod and smile.

In the evening, Evelyn got home and went to their garden and pick some flowers for her mother,

"Mother, I brought this flower for you,"

"You! stop coming into my room from now on!" Merry shut her door. Evelyn felt so down as she goes back to her room and hugs Barry for comfort,

Then not long. Darkness ate the sun, and the moon wakes up.

"Daddy, can you stay with me for dinner tonight?"

"Sorry sweetie, I can't,"

"Is okay, I understand,"

"But tomorrow. I promise I will spend time with you the whole time, okay?" Evelyn nod,
