8 2nd Day

Fyro woke up early, he noticed that his brothers and sister were still sleeping in their respective rooms. It was already 5 am. He stood up and walked slowly outside the their house.

He fetched water and filled the big blue container drum inside their house. He also filled the big blue container drum inside their CR.. Then he used the cleaning spell on the ground. The ground that was full of dried leaves instantly became clean due to the gust of wind that worked miraculously.

When Fyro was satisfied of his work he went back inside their house and tried to find something to cook. First he cooked the rice, then he put the teapot in the fire to heat it up. After a while he heard the teapot was boiling and the smoke is ascending upward with heat. He Grabbed the teapot on it's handle and poured the boiling water in the thermos to preserve it's hotness.

Pedro heard the sound of a pouring water so he slowly opened his eyes. He was curious to know who woke up so early in the morning to boil water. Usually, Pedro always slept on the bamboo made sofa because there was no room enough for him. Their house is small and their was only three room.

The small room in the north corner of the house was occupied by Fyro and the other room in the west corner of the house was occupied by Flame and Fuego. Their room was slightly bigger than of Fyro's room. And the last room in the north west corner of the house was given to Heatra for she's the only girl in the house. There was a small sala and the sala was connected to the small kitchen. And the bamboo made sofa was found in the sala where Pedro slept every night.

Pedro slowly stood up and went to the CR to pee but he was astonished when he found out that the container drum was full of water. He shortly finished his pee and went to the kitchen to cook breakfast for his children but he was more astonished when he found out that Fyro had already done everything. He didn't even know how did Fyro managed to finish all of this in the nick of time.

He never imagined that his son that was once a lazy and introvert boy would suddenly became a more active and thoughtful son. Did his son finally relized the hardship of their living? After thinking for a moment he soon relized that he was on the verge of tears.

"Is there something wrong tatay?" He was starled when he saw Fyro's holding a fried hotdog in the plate. He was looking at him in his cold and serious manner while holding the fried hotdog in the plate.

"Ah... I.. no! I was so happy to see you finally grow up. I can't belive you to suddenly change."

"Maybe this would be the last time I'll do this. Don't you like what I'm doing? Have I not told you yesterday?" Pedro doesn't know what to say. He couldn't believe that Fyro would seriously done what he had promised him yesterday. He looked at his son who talked to him like he was a hundred times older than him.

"Ofcorse! I remember. I wanted to say thank you for helping me so much. But I want you to know that, you don't need to this by yourself. You can always ask help to your brothers." He then patted Fyro's shoulder.

"Ok, now that the breakfast is ready. Should I woke them up."

"Oh. let me do it, by the way, since everything was done, you can take a bath first. Oh! I forget, I need to fill the container drum first."

"No need. I alredy did."

"Oh? did you fill the container drum in kitchen too?"

"Yes, I also cleaned the ground outside."

When Pedro heard his answer, he went outside to check the ground and he became teary eyed again when he confirmed that his son wasn't lying.

He hessitated to enter the house for a while. He was so happy that he couldn't hold back his tears. For a single father like him, it was jusk like winning a grand prize in the lottery to have such and understanding and thoughtful son. He never expect that his son would finally understand their situation. He knew that even though his son didn't talk to him, he still wanted to help him through his actions.

After hessitating for a while he finally gathered himself and went back inside their house. Fyro had already gone to the CR. to take a bath. He went inside the rooms of his sons and daughter and woke them up. When they're finally awake, he told them to eat the breakfast and prepare to go to school.

When fyro had finised taking a bath, he joined his brothers and sister in the table. They ate breakfast together with their father and they chatted for a while.

It was already 6:30 am when Fyro changed his clothes to the school uniform he had used yesterday. Nobody knows that he used the cleaning spell to clean his school uniform.

Then he slowly walk towards their school.

Pedro noticed that Fyro already left to go school. He had just noticed thay Fyro's leaving already when he heard him saying good bye in the distant. He was amazed that Fyro went early. Is he going to attend the flag cremony? He didn't even ask him for his baon. Pedro gave him 50 pesos as his dailly allowance. But now he didn't even ask for it. Did he forget about it?

#Note1: baon means pocket money or daily allowance when you go to school.

"Flame, please give this to Fyro when you see him later at school. He forgot to get it from me." Pedro said as he handed to him the 50 peso bill.

"Ok tatay! Heatra, please hurry! we're going to be late if your going to change just like that." Then he helped his little sister to change to her school uniform.

After the flag ceremony was over, Fyro went to his music class room. As he entered the room he found Kira who was waiting for him already. He felt her uneasness as he went beside him. Is she nervous? Is she afraid that they'll get low score in this project?

Fyro chuckled as he noticed kira's uneasness. He knew that this day would be happy again like yesterday. A feeling of excitement flashed his eyes as he waited for their music teacher to enter the room.
