MALCOLM
HE only have two dreams in his life and that's to have a family and to be rich. Why? First was because he doesn't have a family, he's part of unwanted baby and his just abandoned him in the church. The latter was because he doesn't have a money, he's poor, yes. If you don't have money, you can't have food to eat, then when you starve really hard, what will happened? You will die.
That's what he always thought when he was a kid, that out of nowhere he will die. Oh boy, how wrong he was. He met a two kids when he was a kid who really helped him a lot. The one was Zacchaeus, who became his brother instantly. While the other one was... he doesn't really know her name but he called her 'Moon'. One thing that he knew was she's pretty, kind, amazing, a foreigner, always confident, wanted to be a doctor and very cheerful— but the name? No.
You wouldn't believe him. The reason why he became a doctor was because of her, he wanted to be rich but he didn't even think of becoming a doctor when he doesn't even have a 1 peso. She made him realized that when he became a Doctor , he can save a lot of people. That he can helped a lot of people that was starving and those who don't have money but need to be checked by doctors.
Guess what? His realization was right because when he became a licensed Doctor, he did help and save a lot of sick people. Who would have thought that he was just a poor kid then now he's a Doctor. Life is really full of surprises.
Now thinking of that little girl that he met before he can't helped but to remembered those times that they're seeing each other.

Nakaupo si Malcolm sa kalsada havang nakasilong sa pinagtagpi-tagping karton sa labas ng isang condominium.
Kasalukuyan siyang nakain ng pagkain na tira-tira at sa totoo lang ay panis na'yon ngunit wala siyang magagawa kun'di and kainin iyon kaysa sa mamatay nalang siya sa gutom. Nasanay na naman ang tiyan niyang ganoon lagi ang kinakain kaya hindi na sumasakit ang tiyan niya tuwing nakain ng panis na pagkain.
"Are you leaving again?" Napatingin siya sa batang babae na sa tingin niya ay foreigner dahil brown ang buhok nito at tan ang kulay ng balat.
"I'll be back later, I promise. Just stay inside the room." Hinalikan nito ang noo ng bata pagkatapos ay umalis na. Nanatili ang tingin niya sa bata na malungkot ang muka.
"Pst! Bata!" Tawag niya dito ngunit hindi ito tumitingin. "Hoy!" Napakunot ang noo niya nang hindi man lang ito tumigin sa kaniya nang maalala na taga ibang bansan ito at siguro ay hindi marunong mag-tagalog.
"Hey, kid!" There. She finally glanced at him, he waved his hands and motioned her to go to him.
"Me?" Tinuro nito ang sarili.
"Yeah, come here."
Magkasalubing ang kilay nito ngunt lumapit padin ito sa kaniya. Nang makalapit ito ay inaya niya itong umupo sa sahig na may karton.
It's already evening and she looked so bored that she didn't even think twice to sat down, just beside him.
"You look sad, is that because your Mom left?" He ask. He knew how to spoke in English because he's always collecting the the student didn't need anymore.
She nodded then sighed afterwards.
"If you're sad, you can stay with me." Malcolm chuckled. "You know I'm always here, this is my house." Proud niyang tinuro ang pinagtagpi-tagping karton.
