CHAPTER 2

(At the park)

Mayson Qin's group went to the park to play basketball. When they got out of their car, they were immediately greeted by their fans.

There is no denying that they are really good at playing basketball especially their captain Mayson Qin who has almost won awards in the Basketball League in China.

"Hey man, who is our opponent? Them? " Flynn Wu asked Mayson, "Basic " he added with a smirk

"Let's ask them first if they want to play" Colby replied

"What if they don't want to?" Archer asked

They just shrugged while Mayson still had no reaction.

Mayson just stared at a woman who's skateboarding while exiting the park, he didn't realize he was following it with his gaze

"Mayson?" Ridge tapped Mayson

Mayson had just come to his senses so he stopped staring

"Let's start" he replied to his companions

"Friendly game?" Question of one of their opponents, who's name is Ellion

"Sure" Archer replied

Their conversation didn't last long and they started playing

Lots of people watching them especially and it's an open park. There is no denying that Mayson's group almost scored so the people there, especially the women, cheered.

The gap between the scores of each group is not far, but Mayson Qin's "Dandelions" group still won in the first quarter of the game

They all rested before starting the new quarter of the game again.

Ridge's phone rang so he looked at who was calling, and its his cousin Zoie

"Hello" Ridge replied

"Where are you?" his cousin asked on the other line

"In the Court, in the park why?" He asked back

"Okay, buy me a new mug" Zoie said on the other line

"Mug? what are you going to do with the mug? " he asked with mixed astonishment

"I broke my mug" he replied

"Okay" he said sparingly, "Doraemon Mug again, I know it, are you in your apartment?" Ridge asked further

"Yah" his cousin's sparing answer before dropping the call

Ridge took a deep breath just after the call.

"Your cousin is really weird" said Archer with a slight laugh

"She's used to being alone, she's really independent even when she's in the Philippines" Ridge replied

"I have seen her but just once" said Archer

"Just join me later after this game, I'm buying a new mug for her" Ridge said to his friend

The new quarter of the game started again after they rested.

At that point Ellion's group was already ahead, they surpassed the score of the other group.

"Dandelions" did not score very well so the other group was ahead of them. But the battle between the two groups is almost close.

They all give their best just to score.

Ellion's group scored a number of points in the second quarter. So after the game their group won. So the score is 1-1 and it only takes a quarter to find out who will win.

"What now Flynn? Is it still basic? " Colby teased his friend

"Of course, our score is not far from them" Flynn replied

"Just make sure later that you can score" Colby teased

"I'll take care of it" Flynn said, then he just drank the water

Mayson still has no reaction to what is happening. His face is so serious that you can just say that he is a rude person.

Someone texted Mayson's phone so he looked at who it was.

[From Calvin

Come home, Dad wants to talk to you]

He ignored it and just put his phone back in the bag.

"Okay, last game" he said sparingly to his friends and got up and went to court

—————————————————

(Zoie's Apartment)

"Zoie, are you there?" Zaion calls his sister as he is in front of Zoie's bedroom door

"Come in," Zoie replied sparingly

And Zaion opened the door. He saw Zoie typing on her laptop.

"Have you eaten? You haven't been home for a long time "said Zaion to his sister and put the food he brought on the mini table in her room.

"I'm busy Brother, I've work and the same time im studying, and I need peace of mind" she explained to her brother while still typing on her laptop

"I know that, stop that first and eat" Zaion said to his sister

So Zoie stopped what she was doing, Zoie also knew that she still had no rest so she stopped first.

"Thank you Kuya" Zoie said and smiled

Zaion just smiled at what his sister said. And he understand what "Kuya" mean is because Zoie explained it to Zaion and Zac already. And they already used to it. But sometimes Zoie didn't call them brother.

"How are you and Kuya Zac? How is daddy too? " Zoie asked while still eating

"We're okay, Daddy is still working and always busy" replied of her older brother as he filled his glass with water and give it to Zoie

"Brother, I just have a question" said Zoie

"What's that?"

"If I can go on vacation in the Philippines?" Zoie asked her older brother

Her older brother couldn't answer right away because he was a little surprised by Zoie's question

"..."

"Kuya?"

"Ahhmm, just talk about that with dad, okay?" said Zaion

Zoie just nodded in response to her older brother and continued with her meal

"Okay, if you have time you can go home too, Zac also missed you, and missed teasing you" Zaion laugh a little and said goodbye to his sister, and he kissed her forehead at the same time and left the apartment

——————————————————-

(At the Court)

"Pass it to me Colby" Flynn shouted at his friend

Colby immediately obeyed his friend's command. The time was almost over and Ellion's group was small

Flynn passed the ball to Archer, and Archer passed it to Mayson because he was so close to the ring that it was not difficult to shoot the ball.

The score of both groups became a tie, with only a few seconds left so both groups had his technique on how to win the game.

The people watching there were too intense in their game. Some are already sweating, others are just drinking water and others are just calmly watching but you can see the nervousness on their faces, as if they are just watching a basketball league.

Mayson had the ball again, and he only had 5 seconds left to shoot it. So when he throws the ball as if it is slowing down, everyone watches the ball whether it enters or not.

"Yaaahhhhhhh !!!" Mayson's teammates shouted as he entered the ball. As well as the people watching and supporting the "Dandelions" group were overjoyed because they won the game.

"Nice!" Flynn shouted and fistbombed his teammates, "Colby told you, basic" he added.

"Mayson was able to shoot the ball, not you" Colby replied and tapped Flynn on the shoulder

Mayson's group shook hands with the other group in their respect.

(At Sky's House)

Sky just stared at her grandmother as she watered her plants.She just couldn't imagine that her Grandmother Melly was so fond of the plant

"Grandma, how do you take care of all your plants?" She asked her grandmother

Her grandmother just laughed at Sky's question

"Of course you always water them and of course you also talk to them so that they bloom beautifully"

"That's why your plants are so beautiful"

Her grandmother just nodded in response and just continued watering her plants

"Oh brother, are you leaving again? you just arrived "Sky asked her brother

"I'm just going to Zac's house, Grandma I'm just leaving for a while" he said goodbye to his Grandma and kissed her on the forehead

"Don't stay up too late" said their Grandma Melly

"My older brother really has endless walks" Sky complained

Her Grandmother Melly didn't speak anymore and she barely laughed at what her granddaughter said.

In the next morning,Sky left their house early to go to the studio and she just skateboarded to go there. As she was on his way to her studio she was stopped for a moment when she passed a cat on one side

"Cutie" she picked up the cat and caressed it, "where are your owners? pity you were just left here on the road "

But she noticed the collar around his neck and read what was written there

"Mace"

And she just thought of taking it to her studio so she could take care of it while no one was looking for the cat. Her studio was not far away so they got there immediately.

She put the cat aside and fed it, while Sky was already teaching her students gymnastics and balle.

After Sky finished her class with her students she immediately went to the cat she saw on the road

"Mace mace mace" she said to the cat and she lifted the cat again

"Who owns this cat ?, Why is this cute cat on the road" Sky said while still holding the cat

Sky took her cellphone to take a picture of her and Mace and posted it on her social media account

[Poor Mace, the owner just left you in the way, you're really cute] that's her caption on her posted picture with the cat

—————————————————————

(Mayson's House)

"Did you see my son?" Mayson asked his brother Calvin

"No" Calvin replied immediately

"Did you see my cat?" Mayson asked their housemate again and he received the same answer

"Mace !!!" Mayson shouted inside their house

Everywhere he looked for his cat but he could not find it

He saw that their gate was slightly open, so he asked again

"Calvin, who opened the gate?"

"Don't ask me that" replied his brother

So he just tapped it on the head because of his answers but Calvin ignored it and just continued watching Tv

So he thought of looking outside and maybe it was just on the side of the road, but he couldn't help but think of what had happened to his cat. So he walked on until he reached the other street hoping to see his cat.

So he thought of chatting with their GC

[My son is missing]

But he still continued to search for it

[Flynn: do you have a child? !!]

[Archer: Mayson, who's the mother ?!]

[Colby: How many years have you hidden from us Mayson?]

[Ridge: Call the police]

Mayson's friends replies after he chats with their GC

Mayson just sighed at what he read in their GC but still replied.

[Mayson: Are you really my friends? My cat is missing, find it]

He just put his cellphone in his pocket,

he reached the park where they played basketball, it was far from their house so he just sat on the bench there.

A few minutes later someone chatted with their GC

[Ridge: I already know where your cat Mayson is]

[Mayson: Really? Where?!]

[Ridge sent a photo]

——————————-

Ridge is calling .....

"Hello"

[Sky, I just have a question]

"What's that Ridge?"

[Your post with a cat]

"Oh why what's up?"

[Where did you see it? "]

"Just on the sidewalk near my studio, I saw him, I felt sorry for him"

[Ahh good thing you saw, my friend is looking for his cat]

"Is it his? Why did he leave it on the side of the road? "

[Eh just accidentally got out of their gate]

"Tell me if he doesn't want to take care of the cat, it's up to me" he teased Ridge

[You're not sure about it Sky hehe, so when can I get it?]

"He promised first, he will take good care of the cat"

[Yes I will tell him]

"Okay, maybe tomorrow, Ridge"

[Thanks Sky, I'll just call again where he can get the cat]

Then Sky turned off Ridge's call

"Your parents are looking for you cutie" he said to the cat, "Don't run away huh?"

After she fed and cleaned the cat she put it to her bed

"I hope someone will give me a cat too" Sky whispered to himself while still looking at the cat
