|Chapter 16: Matrew Revenza|
Note: I forgot to add. "Tita" means Aunt or something like that. It's what we called for instead of Aunt to make it more teen vibes because they feel old whenever you call them like that. That's only for me, though.

|KADENA CHAIN|
I woke up late because I don't have any class on Saturday. I think Foren has at least one subject today and I bet she was already in the school.
|Sanquera calling...|
"Yow! Good morning!"
Her hyper voice only makes me roll my eyes. Her energy, I can't. Ghad!
"Why did you call, Bitch?" I ask in my groggy voice because I literally just woke up. My mind is a little bit shaky and floating
"It's BISH not Bitch, you bitch!" I laugh at her instead of being offended by her words.
"Come on, Bitch! Why did you call?"
I tease her by calling her name like that. I mean, yea. I always do that whenever she's ruining my morning. And her energy is too high for me to go with her.
"I already know his schedule today. I'll tell you, you really need to move your ass off right now, Kad. I'll send you his schedule, that's all my friend. Have a good day! Just call me when you need my service, okay? Bye bitch!"
I let out a chuckle as I hear the beep sound of my phone indicating that she already ended the call.
That's Bishen Sanquera. My other close friend aside from Foren. Actually, we're all friends and she's currently busy with her job that she can't be with us whenever we're trying to call her to come with us for a day to chill.
But yea. We all have our own lives so we understand her situation.
"Tita Kad! You need to wake up! Your breakfast' already cold!"
I turn my head to my right as I can hear Chazer's voice at the other side of the door.
"Coming, baby!"
I did my daily routine and when I'm done, I look at my reflection in the mirror on my vanity table beside my bed.
Yup! I have my room here in their condo unit so are they.
"Have you eaten, little Chazer?"
I ask as I walk towards the kitchen of their unit. My room's just adjacent to the living room that's why I first saw him watching robots on the large screen TV when I went out of my room.
I stop and cross my arms over my chest when he glances in my direction and he nods his head enthusiastically. That causes me to laugh at his reaction.
"I'll just be in the kitchen, alright? Call me when you need something, okay?"
"Yes, Tita! Salute!"
I laugh as I gesture a salute for him as a response.
He said one time, he wanted to become a soldier. I mean, he's still a kid yet he wanted to be one like it's just so simple. I asked him, 'why don't you try Architecture like your mother?'.
His answer?
"I loved to sketch and draw, Tita. But I don't see myself as one in the future,"
Imagine? He has that mindset even though he's just five? I was really shocked and I couldn't say anything because I was too speechless to even say one! But then, it was and is his dream. I don't have the means to stop him from dreaming about what he loves to do in the future.
I just let him. He'll soon know how hard life is.
That no matter what the situation is, whether a person dreams high or the latter, the circumstances that you'll be in can be a hindrance for you to reach that. I'm not saying, he can't reach that. I mean, yea. I know some people who didn't reach their dreams because of too many reasons.
On top of that reason? Poverty. They don't have money and power as well as the privilege to be able to study in a good school. The opportunity to have a  good and stable job after graduating, you can't be certain about that kind of thing.
You will never know what will happen to you. So, I always say to him that he's free to dream. Dream free and enjoy the moment when you're there. It's not forbidden to do so. It's just that, some dreams are too far from our reach and we can't help but just settle with what life gives to us. Accept the things that can never be in our hands.
That's common for other people. We can't really avoid that kind of fallback in our lives.
After eating my breakfast, I clean the whole kitchen and get into my room to take a bath. I still have something to do after this. I can't bring my little Chazer with me so maybe I'll just give him to Bish later. I know, she knows what to do.
"Hmm. I think overdress is not my option for now,"
I say out loud, talking to my reflection in the mirror. I'm still on my white robe and I'm thinking of what to wear for my agenda today.
My eyes lit up as an idea comes to my mind. Great!
I walk back from looking for my clothes in the closet and stand right beside my vanity table where the whole body mirror is.
I decided to just wear casual clothes and partnered them with a black cap. I just wear a black short skirt. It's short but it's styled to be a skirt and I tucked in my loose white shirt over it, just the small hem of the front side of the shirt.
Together with my black low-cut converse, I'm good to go.
"Chazer! Let's get you to change, come on!" I walk out of my room and guide Chazer into their room.
"Where are we going tita?" He asks with his little voice. I really want to pinch his pair of cheeks but Foren will kill me if she finds out what I did to his poor son's cheeks.
"I need to go somewhere, baby. So, I need you to behave with your Tita Bish, alright?"
"Tita Bish?!"
I laugh at him as he excitedly moves around after I changed him to his comfortable white shirt and black denim shorts. I let him wear his rubber shoes and we go out of the condo unit as we head to the lobby of the building.
"Hey, Bish!"
"Oh, you're not calling me a bit-,"
"Shut it, Bish. I'm with my little Chazer," I inform her as I drove my car to the company where she works as the exclusive secretary of a CEO.
"Oh, em gee! Our baby Ford Chazer?!"
"Tita Bish!"
I shake my head as they talk to each other. It's as if they did not see each the other day. I let the two talk as I concentrate on the road. He's sitting in the back seat and of course, I let him wear a seatbelt. I don't want to compromise his safety.
"So, does that mean you'll let Chazer with me today, Kad?!"
I roll my eyes as her energy really drains me. She's too hyper? She's even claiming Chazer as hers. She's so feeling.
"Yup! I hope it's not a problem?" Either way, I still ask her for a favor. I glance at my phone on the dashboard. Chazer's busy with his robot already at the back that's why I'm back talking with Bish.
"You can count him on me, Kad. Are you already here?"
"Come outside please," I stop the car just in front of a huge building. I wait for Bish to come out as I look at Chazer in the back seat.
"You're okay?" He glances at me as he smiles widely.
"Yes!" I smile at him as I look at the window on my right, at the passenger's seat.
I see Bish in her formal attire as she runs into the lobby with her sophisticated high heels. I shake my head. She's really energetic that she's not aware of how she's kind of letting herself be hurt sometimes.
I go out of the car and turn right to open the door for Chazer. As I unbuckle his seatbelt, he can no longer wait for me to fix him on my arms as he runs out of the car to meet his Tita Bish. Tsk.
"Careful, baby. You shouldn't do that, okay?" He didn't even look at me when he said yes.
"Take care of him, Bishen. I'm going,"
"Sure thing, Kad. Take care, huh?"
I curtly nod at her as I hug Chazer for the last time and get inside of my car. Beeping once, I drove my car to my destination. I told Bish what happened and whom I met last week. I asked her for help to look for that person for me and if she can have his schedule for me to know his whereabouts.
Here I am, taking the route to a freaking luxurious restaurant.
I bit my tongue as I realize what I wore for today. Damn, a luxurious restaurant and I'm wearing a short skirt? I shake my head and sigh.
I don't care anymore. What a stupidity you have, Kad. Really. Tsk.
I rest my left arm on the space on the window on my left as I hold my chin to think. I just need to know who is he and why is he a part of my memories? If I'm right that he is.
Matrew Revenza.
How are you related to me?

A/N: Updates will be 3 chapters a week (still, I'll try to write more chapters as 3 chapters will only be my base amount to update). Be it every other day, or straight 3 days in a week. I'll update more than 3 chapters if only I can write during the time when I have free one because we're already in the last quarter of the school year. Finals, they say. A little peek info about me, I'm still in college. (Guess what year, kidding!) That's all, thank you!
PS: Update start on May 01, 2022. (If the book's already in the app, otherwise I'll be saving it as drafts). Thanks!
Enjoy reading!
