Boy, It's Love

Chapter 5

Seven's POV

"Ma! Ali's nako!"

Nag-mamadaling paalam ko kay mama.

"Oh" maikli naman nitong sagot.

It's Saturday today, and it's already 9:45AM! Ang usapan namin nila Clarence at Beau kahapon ay dapat 9:00AM ay nasa mall na kami para di kami abutan ng mahabang pila sa National Bookstore. We planned to buy a lab gowns today. Kay mama nalang ako nanghingi ng pera, si kuya na magbabayad mamaya sa kanya.

And Clarence also got a ticket for Toy Story 4 for the three of us, kaya manonood kami mamayang 12:00 na showing. He was so excited to watch the said movie that he bought a ticket in advance last week. He even not asked if we can go with him, but it's actually doesn't matter, for me as long as it's free I am always willing and available to go!

When I got to the tricycle, I checked my phone. I didn't had time kanina to check it because I was in a rush, I know my friends, they do not follow Filipino time. As they said, they are future doctors, every seconds count.

But my efforts to get rushed are all now wasted. There are really fortuitous events that's inevitable.

(Claxx: Guys! I'll be late for about, idk but I'll make it really fast. Our dog Maria Curie is now delivering her baby!)

(Claxx: view photo)

I can't view a photo, malayo na ako sa bahay so wala ng wifi, at wala rin akong load for data. But, I am sure that it was a picture of Clarence dog.

"Hindi naman sya ang mag-papa anak kay Maria! I'm sure he's just taking a video"

I read the other message.

(HandsomeBeau: be late too. I have to go to pharmacy to buy lola's maintenance. I'll be quick :-| )

Shit! Dapat talaga nag-basa muna ako ng chat kanina! I didn't eat breakfast! Kung alam ko lang, shit talaga!

Hindi nako bumalik ng bahay even though pwde naman dahil kakarating ko lang naman sa gate ng subdivision, sayang sa pera!

I just chatted them, (7/11: you guys! Pasalamat kayo gwapo ako. I just read your messages and I am now at the mall! Hurry and bring me breakfast!)

Well, I'm still at the jeep. But it doesn't matter, they are still not on the way, mauuna parin ako sa kanila.

*Ringtone

I answered Clarence call when I entered the entrance of the mall.

(Dude! Maria Curie is still delivering!) Of course his friend who does not know to say 'hello' at phone said.

"So?"

( Well, it seems like she needs a vet so I am waiting right now for the doctor)

"Okay"

( Sorry Sev, but ikaw na muna bumili ng lab gown natin. Sabi ni Jack nagkaka-ubusan na daw jan sa National, daming bumili kahapon)

"Okay, no problem"

I replied, then we ended the call.

It's alreay ten o'clock and mukhang marami ng tao sa NB. When I got to the store dumeretso ako agad sa lab equipment side and ask the saleslady for 3 lab gowns. Then pumila agad ako sa counter.

Luckily, I am the fifth person lining up to the counter. Kahit na maraming tao sa bookstore, konti palang ang nakapila para mag-bayad.

When it's my turn, I grab my shoulder to get my bag--

But wait.....

There is something wrong, my shoulder seems so light.

Wala akong makapa sa likod ko! Or even at any other parts of my upper body! No way!
