“Mom, I've decided.” I told her sadly.

She smiled. “Whatever it is, I'm always here.”

Nagpaalam ako na pumunta ng mall dahil may gusto akong bilhin.q Nag-ikot ikot lang ako hanggang sa napadpad sa isang store na nagbebenta ng wifi.

“Hello, how much is this set?” I asked the lady.

Kahit ano pang presyo niyan binili ko talaga. Para may magamit na si Klein at hindi na siya magpapaload. Prepaid lang rin naman ‘to.

After that, I'm feeling hungry so I decided to eat muna. I saw people eating happily, I envy them.

...

I frowned because it's raining. Paano ako makaka-uwi nito? Nakita ko sa labas ng isang matandang babae na nagbebenta ng payong. I walked towards her and welcome me with her smile. Despite of the coldness she managed to have that smile.

“Manang, how much is this?”

Hinawakan ko ang payong na may design na wave pattern. Kulay asul! Parang dagat talaga.

“Kuwarenta hija,” sabi niya.

Huh?

I snatched my wallet and handed her the hundred bill. “Keep that change po!”

“Salamat hija...maging maayos nawa ang lahat sa iyo.” Makahulugan niyang saad.

I smiled at her.

I book a grab so that I can go home. Hawak pa rin ang pasalubong para kay Klein.

Anything for you. . .
