Phoenix's POV
“Hello Ms. Hailey!”pagbati ko sa tindera ng bulaklak sa isang store na hindi ko pa gaanong mabasa ang pangalan.
“Hi too kiddo! Sino na bang nililigawan ng Phoenix namin?” I gave her a disgusted look as soon as she finished her talking.
The girls in this village are not beautiful like duh? I've been here for exactly 4 months and yet I didn't even met a girl that will pass my standard! It's disgusting!
“I don't want to talk about it.” sabi ko pa bago umirap sa ere.
“So, Ms. Hailey? Can I invite you to my 8th Birthday?” Yep! I'm almost turning eighhhtt! I'm literally a big boy now. But, without a girlfriend.
“Hmm? Talaga? Kelan ba 'yan?” Ms. Hailey asked.
I tapped my chin twice.
“Next month! Pero hindi pa po ako sure sa venue,” nakasimangot kong sabi.
I celebrated my 5th birthday at my lola's house. While the 6th one is in a Restaurant. The 7th one is just on our former house. So, I'm not yet sure where will it be held.
“Malayo pa pala, e.” natatawang sabi ni Ms. Hailey.
No, its not.
“Do you want to have your advanve birthday gift?” nanlaki bigla ang singkit kong mga mata sa narinig ko. Birthday gift?! I love gifts!
Tumalon talon pa ako sa pagkatuwa. I don't believe that no one will be excited when it comes to gifts.
“Where? Where? Where?” I asked repeatedly while jumping.
Ms. Hailey stopped trimming her flowers and look at me while smiling.
“Pick a flower that makes you happy, then it's yours.” nakangiting sabi nito.
Ms. Hailey is a beautiful woman. And don't you ever think that I like her. It's just weird that she still doesn't have any boyfriend or suitors. Alam kong pangarap siya ng bawat lalaki, but I think no one notice her?
And don't you ever think that I like her! It sucks! Mas gugustuhin ko pa ang mga batang kaedaran ko kaysa sa mga gurang.
I playfully look around her shop and there! I saw a blue flower!
Mabilis kong tinakbo ang distansya ko at ng bulaklak.
This is sooo pretty! Para itong cotton candy para sa akin sa malayuan.
“Ano po itong bulaklak na ito?”
“Forget Me Not ang tawag d'yan.” She answered while spraying some water on the flowers.
The name sounds good huh? It sounds like Don't Forget Me hihih. I like it na,
I smile at the flower in my little hands. So your name is Forget Me Not ?
