Shanie's POV
"Oh come on Shanie! Wag kanamang KJ!" Iritang sabi ni ate mula sa kabilang linya. Sabado ngayon kaya walang pasok. Pinipilit ako ngayon ni ate na samahan siyang maglibot-libot at mamili sa mall.
"Bakit ba gusto mong magshopping ngayon?"
I heard her sigh. "Unang una, walang pasok. Pangalawa, SALE! Okay?! Narinig mo ko? SALE! SALE! SALE-"
"Oo na! Oo na!" Pagputol ko sa kanya. "Saan tayo magkikita?"
She giggled and said "Sa 7/11 at 9 am sharp!"
"Fine..." i sighed.
"Don't forget to wear a beautiful dress!"
"What if I don't want to?" Pagmamaktol ko sa kanya.
"Try me." She said with a serious tone.
"Okay, okay. Fine." I answered then ended the call.
Tiningnan ko ang oras sa phone ko at nakitang 8:18 a.m na. I took a bath then brushed my teeth. Naghanap ako ng dress na susuotin ko.
I wore the dress that i find 'beautiful' but simple. The dress is a light blue longsleeve dress, a length that's above the knees with white stripes. Then i fixed my hair in a style that I'm comfortable with.
Lumabas na ako sa kwarto ko at nakita si mama na nag-aayos ng mesa para sa aming umagahan. Nang makita niya ko ay tiningnan niya ko mula ulo hanggang paa halatang nagtataka bakit ako nakasuot ng ganito.
"Nak, bihis na bihis ka ah. Saan punta mo?" Tanong ni mama na nakatingin parin sakin.
"Naku ma, may date yan." Sulpot ni kuya habang binubuhat si Leo.
"Hindi po ah. Mag sho-shopping lang kami ni Ate Micha." Pagdadahilan ko na ikinakunot noo naman ni kuya na para bang di siya naniniwala sa sinabi ko.
"Ganun ba? Ah eh.. hindi kaba muna kakain bago ka aalis?"
"Hundi na po. Siguro sa mall nalang ako kakain o kaya sa 7/11 dahil don kami magkikita."
"O sya sige, mag ingat ka." Sabi ni mama sabay upo sa upuan at kumain na.
"Say hi to Micha for me. Kung si Micha nga ang kikitain." Pahabol ni Kuya habang pinepwesto sa upuan si Leo. I made a angry face at him that just made him laugh then I decided to go.
I arrived at 7/11 at surprisingly exactly 9:00. I saw ate sitting at the chair near the window. Pumasok ako sa 7/11 at pumunta sa mesa kung nasaan si ate.
She looked at me and smiled. "You look beautiful Shanie!" She then stood up and hug me. "Sabi ko na nga ba gaganda ka pag nag ayos ka eh!" Sabi niya sabay bitaw sa yakap.
"Thanks." I simply said. We both sat down facing each other.
"So kailan pa tayo aalis?" I asked.
"Hmm... actually may hinihintay pa tayo." She said turning her gaze at the window. "Oh there she is!"
I followed her gaze and saw Chelsea walking her way here.
Tumingin ako kay ate at tumingin rin siya sakin. I gave her a questioning look and she just shrugged.
"What?" Tanong nito.
"Okay na kayong dalawa ni Chelsea sa isa't isa?" I asked then crossed my legs.
"Oo naman!" She said then stood up to greet Chelsea who just entered. Tumayo na rin ako. They hugged at each other. Natatandaan ko pa yung away nila nitong Thursday lang. I chuckled thinking about that memory and how they became kind to each other now.
