BELONG WITH ME | SB19 Justin ✓

Chapter 36

MIRA.

From: Drakey❤

Babe, good morning. Sorry that I can't be with you today. This annoying sister of mine forced me to stay here and rest :(

I laugh when Drake's message pops out. His exams are done at nagyaya siyang mag-date kami. I told him to rest but he insist kaya ayan, si Dorothy ang namilit. I type a reply to him.

To: Drakey❤

It's okay! Sabi ko naman sayo eh, magpahinga ka. You're stubborn. Magkikita naman tayo bukas.

I stood up and proceed to the bathroom para maligo. I actually plan to buy a dress. A gift for myself. Dapat bibili na din ako kasabay ni Xianne last week pero dahil masyado akong pre-occupied, nalimutan ko na. I can't call Xianne dahil alam ko abala din siya kaya ako nalang mag isa.

I just wear simple black shirt and a maong shorts then sneakers. I dried my hair and tied it in a bun. I also put on my glasses and rest it on my head saka ko sinuot ang regalong kuwintas ni Drake.

I grab my phone and wallet. Nag-text ako kay Drake na aalis na ako. Pumara ako ng tricycle papuntang mall at wala pang tatlompung minuto, nakarating na kaagad ako. I paid and went out.

Pumasok ako sa mall at agad inilibot ang paningin ko. The first floor doesn't have a boutique shop or any clothing store. It's all restaurant and fast food chains kaya umakyat ako sa second floor. Robinson's is the first shop I saw upstairs and some stalls. Naglakad lakad pa ako hanggang sa makarating ako sa Penshoppe. I'm sure, makakabili na ako dito. I can also buy gifts for my friends. A congratulatory gift.

I entered the shop and proceed to the clothes section. May mga new arrival na damit kaya isa isa ko iyong tiningnan. I almost cringed at the price kaya naghanap pa ako ng mas mura and after several minutes, I finally found a dress for myself.

It's an off shoulder black dress with a belt on the waistline. It has white linings on the sleeves and at the end of the dress. I immediately fell inlove with it kaya kinuha ko na.

I walked around the store and look for gifts for my friends. Maybe, I can buy them perfume. Tapos hahanap ako ng individual gifts. Grabe, ang gastos ko but it's fine.

I grab a perfume. I smelled it first at chineck kung kanino babagay ang amoy noon. I grab 5 perfumes at ngayon pa lang, pakiramdam ko, mamumulubi na ako.

I walked around and started looking for gifts. I finally manage to find gifts for each of them. Binayaran ko na din at pinabalot. I went out the shop and look for a resto dahil lunch time na din.

I plan on eating on Castro's pero mas enjoy ako do'n kapag kasama ko si Drake. I walked upstairs at naghanap pa ng kakainan.

I was riding the escalator when someone taps me on my shoulder. I look around and my eyes widened when I saw Sean.

"Sean..." I said. He smiled but his smile didn't reach his eyes. It's a weak smile.

"Hi Mira. It's nice seeing you here," he said. I nodded and became silent. He's here now. On the past months, he knows what Justin is doing. Alam kong ayaw ko nang mangialam kay Justin but seeing Sean, I became curious.

"Do you want to talk about something?" He asked, noticing my expression. I bit my lips and found myself nodding.

Sa isang resto sa first floor kami nagpunta. He said na hindi pa daw siya nagla-lunch kaya kakain na din daw and I said, hindi pa rin ako kumakain kaya nagsabay na din kami.

"Ang tagal na mula nung huli tayong magkita," he said while we are waiting for our foods. I smiled and nodded at him.

"So, do you prefer talking about it while eating or ngayon na?" He asked. I feel my heart beating fast kaya huminga ako nang malalim. I bit my lips and nodded.
