Chapter 28

Ginger's ginger girl

My head were still in cloud nine when I wake up. I couldn't forget how our conversation ended last night. I know it wasn't that much but it is something for me. Today is their game and I've seen the hardworks they put into their pratices and would've been better because they are positive enough that they can play the game well off.

My phone rings for its third time. I pick it up and answer the call. It's just my parents.

"Alex, are you heading now? The shop were loaded of customer, we need you here."

Napabuntunghininga naman ako, thinking that tonigt is the game and I should've been preparing myself but oppose of it, kailangan kong pumunta sa shop. It is weekend and for most of customers ay weekend talaga ang pagpapalaba nila kaya ngayon kailangan ko talagang pumunta sa shop to assist my parents. We actually have some staffs pero nagkataon pang nag-day off kaya parents ko ang nagbukas for today.

"Yes, I will be there in five." Aniko.

"Okay, see you, honey." Mom said, ended the call.

Kinuha ko naman ang shoulder bag ko and headed down the stairs. I locked the door and booked for a car. It didn't look long when it came and hasn't gone to eat my time, I got on the laundry shop on time. Pagkapasok ko pa lamang ng shop, I could really see the busy environment anywhere. Hindi sa nakakapanibago, it is always like this tuwing weekend pero nakakagulat lang that our customers blow up to show in the shop.

I make my way to the counter, nakita na naman ako ng parents ko and they were busy enough to give more attention. My mom were busy assisting the customers, and my dad were busy checking the log books. Nilapitan ko naman ang dad ko at tinabihan sa kanyang kinauupuan.

"Dad, we should closed early ha."

"Hmm?" he mumbled, and didn't even look at me.

"Korg's game, tonight. We should see it all together!" aniko, nakuha ko naman ang atensyon niya at lumingon siya sa akin. Tinanggal niya ang suot niyang eyeglass. Napakunot-noo naman ako, "have you forgotten about it?"

He massaged his temple and he nodded, "sorry, your Mom and I really occupied at the moment."

Napabuntunghininga naman ako, "but please, I know we are busy but we should close early... please?"

Saglit lang din naman ay dumating si Mom at pinakuha sa akin ang ilang detergent powder. Inabot ko naman sa kanya iyon pero nagtanong din naman ito dahil naabutan niya akong kinukumbinsi si Dad na pumunta sila ngayon sa game

"What are you up to, Alex?" Mom asked.

I rolled my eyes, "how can you forgot when the redhead told you about this," I grunted and still, hindi pa rin nito naiintidihan ang sinasabi ko. Dad would do the talking pero agad ko naman siyang pinigilan at natawa na lang ito. "Mom, Korg's game tonight, don't you remember, he invited us?"

Mom really had a long pause of processing the message. She nodded after while.

"The shop's really busy, honey." Bumagsak naman ang balikat ko sa sinabi niya. "But we'll talk about it later okay—" she was interrupted when the customer called her, "I'll be right back." Mom hurriedly attended the customer.

Lumingon naman ako kay Dad and he just nodded, "your Mom had the final say, just wish customers left early."

Instead of begging them to come, I help them to assist the customers. It is my only way to spend my time. My phone were popping notification from time to time. When I checked where are all those coming from, it is from our groupchat. Bella and Pee shooter. Kinuha ko naman ang phone ko saglit at sinagot ang mga tanong nila sa akin but the video call popped up kaya iyon na lang ang sinagot ko.
