All and Nothing

Chapter 4

Putangina.

Hindi ko talaga inexpect na magbabye siya sakin. Kasi naman brad, may practice sila ng Noli Me Tangere sa Luneta, tas kami maiiwan sa school for DT practice.

Halangyaaaaaa!

"Huy Merry! Jusko tulala ka jan?" Pagsiko sakin ni Ruth. Damn it! I'm lost in my own thoughts.

"Nothing." I said saka kumuha ng kapartner.

Fuck it, Maui's clouding my mind. This isn't so good.

I went home with a goey smile in my face that my uncle and cousins are wondering about. And I kept brushing off.

-
Two days! Two days before Prom! Huta! Bibili pa lang ako ng shoes na gagamitin ko ngayon. Letse.

Good thing walang practice ng cotillion this fucking afternoon so, 4PM lang, makakalabas na ako ng school. Before I went out the school premises, I slid up my phone and texted mg aunt.

Tita Lors
Papaalis na po ako ng school. Kakatapos lang ng last class ko. Don't forget my slippers po.

I hit the send button and kept my phone saka lumabas ng school. I waved goodbye to my friend and crossed the pedestrian lane when the lights went green. I pulled a UV Express going to SM North Edsa. I payed the fare and plugged my earphones and ignored the world.

I woke up when the FX came into a stop. Nakatulog pala ako. I glanced around and malapit na kami. Yun nga lang ay stucked with traffic because of the merging vehicles. When the fx pulled off the stop in front of TriNoma I came down and started walking papasok sa main mall. I checked my phone if tita Lors had texted me na.

Tita Lors
yes. Dto na kami LandMark asan ka na?

I replied na papasok na ako. Then I rushed walking. When I reached the main entrance, medyo nagbagal akong maglakad because andaming tao. The ef was wrong with this people ambabagal maglakad.

Nung nakarating na ako sa loob ng department store, I texted tita agad kung nasan sila and sakto nandun ako sa stall kung saan opposite side lang sila.

"Oh. Eto na slippers mo. Magpalit ka na." Tito said as he hand me an eco bag containing my flip flops. I changed and we started looking for my shoes.

"Anong color ba?"

"Hmm, yung magagamit nya pa after prom." Sabi ni tito. Sayang nga naman kung bibili ako ng mahal na sapatos tapos sobrang dalang ko namang magagamit diba?

"Silver?"

"No. Hindi bagay sa maong."

"Cream."

"Yeah. Something like that."

Then we agreed. Nagikot ikot kami, I found a cream shoes sa Rusty Lopez kaso studded siya and hindi bagay yung felt material niya sa shiny material ng dress ko. So I looked for another one.

May nakita kami sa Gibi kaso lang 4 inch heels and masyado akong nakatiptoe plus the gems, okay lang naman sakin kaso hindi ko siya magagamit on simple gatherings.

Nastress ako kakaikot until I found one at Zanea. Two and a half inch heels, with flatform support in front a closed shoes with a strap to hold my ankles.

Sakto pag nagsayaw ako. It could hold off my feet from getting a cinderella moment. I picked up the shoes and showed it to them. "How about this one?"

"Perfect. Yan nalang. Gusto mo ba? Sukat mo."

I did what they suggested kaso puta, 6 yung nakadisplay so I called for a salesman pa to get a size 8 for me. Yes, I'm an 8.
