Zech!Honey hurry up or we might miss the plane, your grandfather and grandmother are waiting at the airport you know they are excited to see you "yes mommy, im coming" oh be careful you might trip on the stairs.

They are already on the airplane "Mommy what do you think grandma and grandpa look like? Will they like me?" Zech said nervously "of course they want you as a child and not only that, they love you too, look at this picture of your grandmother and grandfather" said Lia who is Zech's mother "Wow mommy Lola was beautiful when she was young, she looked like you and grandpa was very handsome" Son, mommy has something to say to you, listen...

suddenly the speaker of the plane sounded "Dear passengers the plain is going to land please prepare yourself" Zech and his mother got off the plane and his grandparents met them. while they were going home his grandmother and grandfather teased him and asked him, They reached home and his mommy talked to his grandparents, he couldn't understand them, they were talking in Tagalog.

"Mom let Zech stay here, it will be better if he is here with you and you take care of him properly, I don't want my son to suffer or be harmed because of my work, maybe they will do something to my son if we win my client" said Lia "That's why I don't want you to be a lawyer, Lia, because you'll get hurt in that job, especially if you have a powerful opponent" Lia's father said "Don't worry Lia, we'll take care of Zech, you take care there" Lia cried " mom, dad thank you, without you I don't know what I would do"

Lia left Zech in the care of her parents and she returned to Canada to continue fighting her Client's case because she knew he was innocent. A few days later, Zech did not feel sad or homesick because he was refined by the love of his grandparents. while sitting in the Sofa Zech saw the girl in the other yard happily playing "do you want to play with her?" Grandpa Rodel asked "yes, can I play, grandpa?" his eyes were shining, "yes, as long as your grandma calls you, come home immediately, is that clear?" "yes grandpa"

"uhmmm Hi im Zechary can i play with you?ah I'm your neighbor"

"Hello! I'm Ashleigh, five years old, nice to meet you Ze-zechary? can I just call you Aris short for ary, your name is hard to pronounce hihi" "sure then I'll call you Ash"

"Zech!" his grandmother called "po, I'm going home now, grandma"

Zech said goodbye to Ash and his family. "Is my grandson happy? Come and I'll clean you up because your dirty"

"uhmm grandma is that vegetable?" Zech asks "yes, why? Don't you eat vegetables?" "That's delicious" Grandpa Rodel suddenly said, Zech was forced to eat while chewing it, you can read on his face that he didn't like it, when he swallowed it, his face brightened and he took another bite that seemed to taste good "wow, grandma, that's right The vegetable is delicious, when I come back to Canada I will cook it for mom, what kind of food is it, grandma?" asked Zech "it's good that you like it, it's called eggplant torta, go ahead and eat it to your heart's content" smiling Grandma Crissa said.
