Chapter 19. 142 Years Old

“What do you always do there at the playground after classes?” Lee suddenly asked while we were looking at her photo albums.

As we flipped through her photo albums while we were both lying on the floor beside her bed, I truly saw that Mommy and Auntie were really best friends because they both put so much effort into making the photo albums. Lee and I both have photo album compilations for each year that clearly show our ‘evolution’ or growth.

“One time Mommy asked me, and I just said you didn’t tell me… I really didn’t know what to say because I didn’t know why you were going there…” she said.

“It’s because I have a friend from the school opposite ours who asks me to accompany him to the playground every day…” I answered her. “Do you want to join us? His twin brother has try-outs every day and he can’t be picked up immediately, so he just waits there, but he doesn’t like waiting in the gym, so we wait at the playground…” I explained further.
