Donna's Point Of View

Nagising ako ng maaga dahil maggro-grocery daw kami ni Kuya ngayon. Sabi ko pwede namang hapon o tanghali na lang pero sabi nya maaga na lang daw, para konti pa lang ang tao sa grocery.

Well, who am I to refuse that?

I immediately took a bath and wore a pair of jeans, white T-shirt and a Vans. I went downstairs. I was shocked when I didn't saw Kuya in the living room. I looked for him. I came in the kitchen, but he's not there. So, I made my way to his room.

I was about to hold the doorknob when the door suddenly opened. I almost jumped in shocked.

"Let's go?" He asked. I smiled and nodded.

We made our way to his garage and quickly hopped on his car.

"Ako ang magtutulak!" Sabi ko at hinigit papalayo sa kanya yung grocery cart.

"Nope," he said and glare at me.

Kanina pa kami nagtatalo kung sino ang magtutulak ng grocery cart. Sabi ko, ako na. Sabi naman nya, sya na. Pano kami magkakasundo nyan?

"No way! I'm going to push this cart," I said and leave him at the entrace.

"Fine," napangiti naman ako. Yehey! I'm the winner!

We first went at the meat section. Base on my observation, I think his having a hard time on choosing whether it's pork, chicken, or beef.

"I prefer it all," I said, giving him a tip so that we could go now to the other sections.

He looked at me with a ridges on his forehead. I smiled at him and wriggle my eyebrows. He took a kilo of beef, chicken, pork, and a kilo of ground pork too.

Pagkatapos namin sa meat section, we are now heading to the dairy or poultry section.

He took two dozen of eggs, a butter and etc. He put it in the grocery cart. Wow, huh? Ang dami naman masyado nung itlog! Ano na lang ang breakfast namin nyan? Laging omelet or sunny side-up. I rolled my eyes on him when I saw the grocery cart. Didn't he knew the word 'organize'? The grocery cart was a completely mess right now. And if I say a mess, I really meant it. I stopped from walking and pushing the cart.

"Wait," I said and started to organize the foods inside the grocery cart. Once I'm done, I continue walking and pushing the grocery cart.

Paglingon ko sa kanya, wala na syang sa pwestong huli kong nakita kung nasan sya. Nasan na sya ngayon?

I looked at my surroundings pero wala hindi ko pa rin sya makita. Saan bang lupalop ng mundo pumunta 'yun? Ang bilis kasi kumilos e! Kasing bilis ni The Flash, ang bilis din tuloy mawala.

Nag-ikot ako sa Supermarket para mahanap si Kuya. I'm not looking at the path I'm heading to, I'm busy looking around for Kuya. I stopped searching when I felt that I was dumped into something.

"Oh! OH MY GHAD!" Sabi ko at tinakpan pa ang bibig ko sa gulat while my eyes enlarged. Nagmadali naman akong pumunta dun sa nabunggo ko at tinulungan na kunin yung mga nahulog nyang pinamili. After nun, tumayo na sya at ganun din naman ako.

"Sorry," nahihiyang sambit ko habang nakatungo. Nagulat naman ako ng itaas nya ang mukha ko, at napakalapit ng mukha nya sa mukha ko. Tingin ko ay isang konting maling galawa ko lang e, lalapat na ang labi ko sa labi nya.
