"You don't have to worry, Miss Del Rosayo. Your regular tests are doing great. However, if you feel something is wrong just don't hesitate to visit the clinic, okay?"

"Yes, Doc. Hindi lang talaga ako mapakali." I glanced into the bruise on my right shoulder.

"You don't need to overthink about that. It seems it's from the thing you accidentally bumped into. For now, just rest and don't think negatively, okay?"

"Thank you so much, Doc."

"Well, see you next time." and then I ended the call with my doctor.

I was just getting paranoid lately in the bruised on my shoulder. Lagi ko kasing iniisip na isa na naman itong symptoms sa condition ko but I guess I wasn't right. Siguro napalakas lang ata yung biruan namin ng kapatid ko nung isang araw.

"Espresso for our regular customer." a mid-30's lady delightfully smiled at me as she served a cup of hot coffee on my table.

"Thank you..." I smiled back at her.

"Happy to serve you, ma'am."

Linibot ko ang paningin ko sa munting espasyo kung nasaan ako ngayon saka ko muling binaling ang atensyon ko sa screen ng aking laptop.

I needed something to boost my eagerness to write and run for many ideas, so I pawed through my purse to get my AirPods as I decided to make some beats. Kalalagi ko dito ay naging regular customer na ako ng coffee shop nato. The motif of the shop is fuchsia and old rose full of bookshelves that are installed in every side of the room as their interior designs; a very relaxing ambiance that made me back multiple times.

Hindi ganun kasikat na coffee shop kaya napili ko itong tambayan kung gusto kong mapagisa at pag may gagawin na mga bagay-bagay na kailangan ng katamikan ng paligid. Though there were some customers but mostly were those readers na nag re-rent ng books dito at nagbabasa. Apparently, this shop is made perfectly for relaxation.

I have glimpsed of those books piled in the aisle beside the entrance. Napasmirk nalang ako dahil iyong books na yun ay ang latest released ko na ginawa. It does remind me of things back then.

Muli kong binuksan ang folder ko sa laptop at pinatakbo ang cursor sa isang file. Binuksan iyun at muling hinanap kung saan ako huling tumigil sa pag-edit.

Inayos ko muna ang eyeglass ko sa pagkakasabit bago tinikman ang espresso at hindi talaga sila nagkamali sa timpla na gusto ko. Kinikilala talaga nila ng maigi ang bawat regular customer ng shop na 'to. Muli kona ulit sinimulan ang pag-edit, from the added ideas to correcting grammar until the right uses of punctuation ay ginawa ko na din to finalize this recent chapter.

"Uhh... sorry," tumingala ako at isang teenager na naka-eyeglass na babae ang nasa harapan. "Excuse me, you might be Miss Seraphin Del Rosario?"

Halata sa mukha niya na nagdadalawang isip ito. Hindi ko mawari at paano niya ako nakilala at hindi ko rin naalala na nagkakilala kami hanggang sa nakuha ang atensyon ko sa libro na hawak niya. Oh, I see.

"Yes," binigyan ko siya ng matamis na ngiti that I usually do when I'd cross paths with some of my readers and eventually they have to ask for my autograph.

"OMG," as she confirmed she eventually groaned in excitement. "I-isa akong Fan. I... r-really adore the A Thought Of Us." Inilapag niya bigla ang libro sa harap ko. "Can I have your autograph?"
