While I was at home cooking lunch I hear my phone ringing. I didn't expect who it was but I just went in and looked at it. It was my mom, I usually don't call my mom because she barely answers her phone anyways but I was curious to why she was calling.

"Hello?" - Jackielyn

"Hey Anak." - Mom

"Is there something wrong?" - Jackielyn

"No there isn't but do you remember Tita Binna? She would always come by during the holidays with her son Moon. You would always hangout with Moon and play tag with him, remember?" - Mom

"Ohhh yahhh I remember Tita Binna, she was like a second mom to me. How is she by the way?" - Jackielyn

"She doing good, she actually had a favor for me to you." - Mom

"That good. Oh really what is it?" curiously I said - Jackielyn

"So your Tita Binna is having her son finally live with her here in Canada." - Mom

"Wait....so Moon never lived in Canada? Is that why I only would see him during the holidays?" - Jackielyn

"Yah Moon would only come to Canada on his holiday break with his dad and then they would go back to Korean." - Mom

"Oh so what about Moon's Dad Tito Minjin, is he coming too?" - Jackielyn

"I don't think you knew but last year Moon's dad died from a car accident. So Moon has been living alone while his mom is working abroad here in Canada." - Mom

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry, I didn't know Tito Minjin passed away so soon." sadly I said - Jackielyn

"I know anak no one saw it coming. But Tita Binna was asking if you could have Moon stay at your place for a week so he could be familiar with the area, since I live far away and you live around the city I think it would be a great time for Moon to explore the city." - Mom

"Oh....wouldn't that be weird. I haven't seen Moon since we were like 12." - Jackielyn

"It's ok, you guys can bond again like old times." - Mom

Knowing I had to live with Moon for a week had me hesitating, after so long of not seeing moon it would be weird to just have a normal conversation with him. Like that we are much more mature I don't know how things will be, how he will be, but for Tita Binna I guess I would have to say yes.

"Okay fine, just tell Tita Binna to call me with the details." - Jackielyn

"Okay thank you anak, I'll let her know." - Mom
