Reality (TLF Book 2)

CHAPTER 8: The Book Samaritan

Now I noticed that I did forgot some things and memories because of my coma but I'll remember it though if pinaalala nila yun sakin.

Like how I liked basketball very much where I always join the intramurals in our school. Or I used to write my own songs and record it. I had recordings in my phone which made me remember the tunes of my songs. Or that I'm allergic with peanuts, that was the wooorst memory I forgot because I actually liked it when I ate peanuts but yeah, freakin' allergies.

But there's one memory, or maybe a pack of memories I still can't remember even though they make me remember those.

It's JK.

All the memories I had with JK, all the moments I had with him, gone. It's just, I can't remember anything from him. And I know it makes JK sad everytime I forget something from the past.

But it's always cute when JK tells me some stuffs we did before I got into a coma. When we were so young and I rescued JK because he was drowning in the pool, when we dressed as Superman and Wonderwoman in Halloween when we're like seven years old, or when we got lost in the mall so we just did whatever we wanted and were happy.

Hay, how I wish I could remember those things, those memories that I could smile with.

But there's something strange with all the memories they're telling me. They don't even say a word with how I got into a coma.

Like what happened? Nasagasaan bako? Nahulog? I don't know anything about it. They never said a word about it. And so, I don't ask it to them cause maybe it's tragic. It's weird too cause I can't remember any minute before I got into a coma.

"Tiffy! Someone's knocking on the door. Can you go get it for me?" I heard mom shout downstairs.

I went downstairs and opened the door.

"Aga mo JK! I said I'll take a bath first!" I said.

"Hahaha! It's cozy here in your house so I'll just stay here while you're taking a ligo" he smiled. Hay, JK talaga.

I went upstairs, took my towel and went straight to the bathroom. Ayoko din naman paghintayin si JK so I rushed na.

I was now done and wore some clothes on. Just some shirt and pants and some comfy flip flops hehe. I went downstairs and saw JK's confused face.

"What's with your face? Is there something with my clothes?" I said and scanned how I look.

"Uhm, yeah. It's just that...wow...you didn't forgot about wearing flip flops in the mall." JK chuckled.

"Do I always wear flip flops in the mall?"

"Yeah, like EVERYTIME we go to the mall." He laughed.

Pinuntahan ko si mom, took some money (legally lol I ain't snatching) and gave her some kisses.

"Bye mom!" I said and walked out of the door with JK.

Me and JK rode our scooters (yah know, those scooters that are legal for kids to ride on and those you charge like phones hahaha) because the mall is just some kembot away. We're going to the mall cause we'll buy some school supplies cause school is comiiiing.

We parked our scooters in the parking lot and tied them on the steel bars.

"Sana naman walang magnakaw nito." JK mumbled.

"Kaya nga we're locking this up." I laughed.

We went inside the mall. Cold wind passed by us as we enter the door. There were so many people. Old, young, couples or families.
