"Good morning ma'am Eveary. Saan po ang punta niyo?" I was busy looking for a pair of shoes."Shopping po tita Jully. I have a date tonight."
"Sino naman yan hija? Dalaga ka na talaga. Mabuti naman at nagpapaligaw ka na. Akala nga namin tatanda ka ng dalaga."
"It's not ligaw po. It's just a friendly date. Si Josiah Glazer po."
"Ayy..iyong pumunta dito nung isang araw ba iyon o kahapon."
"Yes tita."
"And swerte naman niya. Mabait ka nga hija at maganda pa. All in one." She winked.
I blushed.
"Tita naman."
"Nahiya ka pa. Kami ni Sally ang nagpalaki sa inyo kaya natutuwa lang kami."
"Whatever po." She pinched me.
"Huwag ka ng mambola hija. Nagpagdaan ko na din iyan noong dalaga din ako pero nag pa hard to get muna ako bago ako bumigay hihi. At saka malaki ka na okay ka ng magpaligaw. Nasa tamang edad ka naman na. Mag-ingat ka lang baka kasi mainggit nanaman si ma'am Rowe."
"I was born to be envied tita. Ever since we were kids alam kong may lihim na inggit sa akin si Rowe. She does not know how to be contented on what she have. Lahat ng makikita niyang gamit ko or gamit ng iba, she always gaya-gaya it. Wala talagang gamot sa taong inggetera or ingettero. She became obsessed because of that and does not have self-esteem kasi puro inggit lang at pangga-gaya ang nasa puso't isip niya. It's like a robbery. Stealing someone's identity. And she's not being herself because like what I've said she's imitating someone's style and everything. But I still love them despite from the pain they've caused upon me."
"Well said hija. Sana nga magbago na iyang kapatid mo. Nakikita ko naman na mahal na mahal mo pa rin sila. Napakabait mo talagang bata at sana ipagpatuloy mo pa rin ang pagiging mabuting tao."
"You raised me well tita. You and tita Sally made me feel loved and belong. Mahal na mahal ko po kayo."
"Mas mahal ka namin hija kagaya ng pagmamahal namin sa aming mga anak din."
"Sige na po I'll go na."
"Sige hija. Ingat ka." I nodded.
I went inside my car and drive at one of our mall.

"How about an off shoulder dress po ma'am?"
"Yes it would be perfect."
"Wait lang po Ma'am. Hanapan ko po kayo." I nodded.
"Here ma'am."
"Anong mas magandang color? White or lavender?"
"Mas maganda po ang white kasi it's pure and simple."
"I see. Thank you. Kukunin ko na ito."
"Sige po Ma'am. Sa counter na lang po."
"Your total payment would be 60,000 pesos po Ma'am."
"Here." I handed a cash.
Mahal talaga kasi I also bought the limited edition luxury heels. I'm a bit maluho cause these stuffs are my only companions when I'm alone, when I was just inside my room crying and upset. These things made me happy kasi I feel at ease when I buy things. It lessened the pain I'm feeling.
