Jackson immediately ran off his classroom being followed by his little sister named Azrea.
"Kuya wait up!" The señorita shouts, catching her breath.
"You need to run faster Rea!" Jackson shouts energetically, glancing behind his back. Mechanically, he jumps longer to reach the school gate. "Hello manong guard." He salutes, waiting for his little sister to catch up.
"Oh hello there señorito Jackson, school is done today huh," The guard greeted back, opening the gate wider as many students started to head to the gate.
"Yes." He nodded, wrapping his arms around his sister's nape. Azrea furrowed her eyebrows, removing Jackson's arms from her.
"Hahahaha you two are really lively." The guard nodded.
"Yes!" Jackson shouts.
"So annoying." Azrea rolls her eyes, placing her id in front of the swiping machine.
Jackson did the same and followed his sister outside. "Bye manong guard!"
"Bye." The guard waves his hand, shifting his gaze at the two swiping machines. "I'm wondering why their surnames are different."
Another guard went beside him, peeking at the swiping machine before it changes to another students name.
"That's because señorito Jackson is the heir of Santaella that's why he has the same surname as his mom. Meanwhile, señorita Azrea took her father's surname."
Surprisingly, the guard look at his partner. "That means seniora Azalea and senior Zack didn't get married?!"
"Idiot! They got married, but seniora Azalea didn't take her husband's surname because she is the heir of Santaella!" The other guard throws the empty bottle towards him.
Going back to Jackson and Azrea, the two children went in the car. Zack lean his back against the backrest, glancing at his child through rearview mirror.
"How's the school?" Zack asks excitedly.
"It's cool!" Jackson shouts
"It's actually good dad!" Azrea yells.
"That's good to hear. I can't believe you're 10 and 8 years old now," Zack uttered proudly, flashing a smile.
"Yes I'm growing," Jackson yells energetically.
"You're so loud!" Azrea screams.
"Hahahaha! You should be more energetic later at your mom's office got it?" Zack asks, glancing at them.
"Sure!" They both said in unison.
"Anyway did you make friends there?" Zack asks, turning the steering wheel to the right side of the road.
"Yes I made plenty of friends, including the heir of Figueroa! She's really cool!" Jackson answered, balling his fist in excitement.
"Oh yeah the new heir of Figueroa is a girl," Zack murmur, glancing at Azrea through rearview mirror. "How about you my lovely daughter, did you make friends?"
Azrea nodded excitedly, curving a smile. "Yes dad! I met one of the señorita too from Figueroa family!"
"Woah! You remember her name?" Zack questions cheerfully.
"Yes, she's señorita Samantha, senior Samuel's daughter," Azrea answered proudly. "We became friends in the short time." She stick out her tongue at her brother.
"H-hey I become friends with the heir of Figueroa too!" Jackson said boastfully.
"Oh really? Didn't she tells you that you were annoying?" Azrea laugh hysterically, holding her stomach.
"W-well that's because-no she didn't!" Jackson defended.
"Hahahaha stop it you two!" Zack uttered, motioning his son and daughter to stop fighting each other.
Fifteen years have past since the day they went on Figueroa's most important event. A lot of things happened in their life, including climbing up the rank from rank 16 to rank 6 in all Billionaire Family when Azalea became the one handling all of Santaella's businesses.
It was difficult for them especially to Zack since he's not used to that kind of environment. However, it didn't take plenty of years for him to get used to that kind of work. Azalea achieved her dream too for being a professional volleyball player. Although she's not playing now, since she's already in her 30's, but she got the chance to enjoy playing in Shine Dove in her 20's, she even got the chance to compete outside the country.
"We're here," Zack announced cheerfully, removing his seatbelt.
Jackson and Azrea did the same too, following their dad outside. They arrived at Layceum University's office, where all the teachers are going to submit their requirements and for their interview.
"She's there!" Azrea shouts, pointing her mom standing at the front door.
"Mommy!" Jackson screams, running towards his mother.
"Jackson my boy!" Azalea opens her arms widely, hugging her son and daughter. "You look so pretty Rea sweetheart."
"Of course I am," Rea replied proudly.
"How's your school you two?" Azalea asks cheerfully, ruffling their hair.
"It's cool mommy!"
"It's actually amazing!" Azrea replied.
"Hahahaha let's go now and eat somewhere," Zack said, placing his hands on his children's shoulder.
"Yey!" The two agreed in unison, shifting their gazes at their father.
"Where are we going to eat daddy?" Azrea asks excitedly with her glistening eyes.
"Well where do you want?" Zack asks his daughter.
"I want to eat anywhere as long as they have fried chicken!" Azrea answered cheerfully, raising her hand.
"Okay we'll go there." Zack ruffles her hair, laughing.
Azalea stand up, watching her family talks comfortably with each other. She closes her eyes for the moment, taking her breathe and sighs.
"I cannot ask for more."
