_skyler : Congratulations, Attorney Marquez.


Nadulas naman ako nang makita ko 'yung message niya.


"Ouch!" I screamed as I fell on the ground. I didn't expect him to congratulate me. Hindi niya nga ako pinansin kahapon.


"Anak? Ano nangyari sayo? Are you okay?" Dumating si mom. I guess she heard me scream.


"Nothing mom, I'm okay." I said standing up. My butt hurts!  Gosh ano rereply ko dito?


acmarquez_ : Thank you, Doctor Lowell.


After that, nakahinga naman ako ng maluwag. Nag-isip pa ako ng husto tapos yun lang rin pala reply ko! I ate lunch and went up to my room to get ready. I just wore a tank top, denim shorts and an oversized white polo, plus white sneakers and my palm springs backpack.


I went to my car, it was just a BMW my parents bought mid year of law school. I was going to a mall just around Quezon City. I was alone, I didn't mind though. I was used to it. Hindi naman ganun ka-traffic, mahirap lang magpark ng kotse dahil puno ang parking.


Once I parked my car, I went to different boutiques to buy clothes. Need ko ng formal clothes for work. Gosh magtratrabaho na pala ako bukas. I already had some at home, pero baka kulang 'yon. Nakakuha ako ng onting mga damit sa first shop na pinuntahan ko, I just payed for it after trying it. Cams started calling me naman.


"Hello?" I said as I answered the call.


"Are you ready for tomorrow?" She asked.


"Yes, why?" I answered. I wanted to work narin naman. I've been studying my whole life!


"I'm excited!" She said and I laughed at her. We both talked a little more before we ended the call. I told her I was at the mall at nagtampo pa siyang hindi ako nagyaya.


I was busy looking for a good store. Ang hirap naman mamili ng formal clothes. I was also thinking on buying a new work bag but I wasn't sure yet.


While walking to the next store, a kid went near me. I was confused, where was the parents of this child? He was hugging my leg. Is he lost? My gosh Aimee, what would he be doing here if he wasn't? But why was he hugging my leg?


"Hi, what's your name?" I asked him with a small voice. He let go of my leg and I bent to his level.


"Dylan." He answered cutely. It wasn't that clear since he was still so young, but i understood it naman. Good thing he wasn't crying.


"Hi Dylan. Where's your mom and dad?" I asked him, they should be looking after this child! He was like around four years old.


"I don't know." He said. Ano na gagawin ko ngayon? 


"Who are you with then?" I asked him again. Before he could even answer my question, someone called him.
