Francheska Eloise Marcos' POV

It's now December 22. I have a date with my barkada before we all go home for our Christmas vacation. Gabbie will be going home to Davao. Avery will be going home to Nueva Ecija. And Enzo will be going home to Cebu. While I'm obviously going to Ilocos Norte with the family.

I took a bath early and just wore a white shirt, jeans, and a little black sling bag - before I went down to eat.

"Hey honey.." bati ni mommy na nasa kitchen naglu-luto ng breakfast.

"Good morning, mommy.." bati ko naman.

"Where are you going nga today? You're dressed up, agang aga.." tanong niya.

"I'm going to the mall po, with friends.. I told you last week diba.." paalala ko.

"Oh.. yun pala!"

"I'll hatid you nalang, kasi I'll be buying gifts for Christmas.."

"Okay!" sagot ko naman.

"Here eat muna your breakfast ouh.." sabi niya sabay bigay sakin ng plato na may sunny side up na itlog at bacon.

"Sila Kuya Borgy po? Will they be going with us tomorrow?" tanong ko.

"Nope.. they'll follow nalang daw for Noche Buena.." sagot naman ni mommy.

"Oh okay.."

"Osiya sige, bilisan mo para maka-alis na tayo." utos ni mommy.

Nakapagbihis na din si mommy and tumungo na kami sa Greenbelt since doon kami magkikitakita ng mga friends ko.

"Tara.." sabi ni mommy at nag-attempt bumaba ng sasakyan.

"Huh?" - Eloise

"Tara, sama ako." - Imee

"Mommyyy" - Eloise

"Bakit?" tanong niya.

"Dun ka sa kabilang mall!! As if ka pa, susundan mo lang ako dito eh." - Eloise

"Sige na nga, madam!" sabi niya at pumasok ulit sa sasakyan.

"Do you need me to pick you up later? What time po?" tanong ni mommy.

"Uhm, yes! Baka later nang hapon po.." sagot ko naman.

"Eloise ha, take care, wag ka humiwalay sa friends mo, when there's something fishy, call me or your Tito Bonget ha.." paalala ni mommy.

"Yes mommy.."

"Don't walk alone.. and, don't commute! You just wait if may kukuha sayo." dagdag pa niya.

"Got it! Thanks!" sabi ko habang bumaba sa sasakyan.

"Also, Eloise!" sabi pa niya.

"Po?"

"10k maximum spend, your mom is kuripot." paalala niya at tumawa.

"Okay po, noted!" paalam ko at bineso siya.

"Bye! Love you!" dagdag ko pa habang tumakbo papunta nila Gabbie, Avery at Enzo na naka-abang sa entrance ng mall.

"Hi!!" bati ko sakanila.

"Whoa! Himala di late si Enzo!" biro ko.
