Brianna Huangco's POV

The other day, just like what Katrina and I talked about, we went to a mall. I'm just wearing a blue cardigan short sleeve top and a pair of high waist cream pants. Just a pair of simple flat shoes and a tote bag hooked on my shoulder.

"Anna, what do you think?" I was just looking out for some shoes when Katrina called me. She raised two different shoes in both of his hand while she's wearing those pairs, sitting on a couch.

"This one, I guess?" I pointed out the flat shoes.

"No, I prefer this one." She shrugged and associate with the sales lady. I rolled my eyes. What's the sense of asking, 'no?

Halos naikot na namin ang kalahati ng mall at medyo pagod na rin kami kaya napag desisyunan naming kumain muna. It's 2 PM and we just ate our lunch a while ago yet we're already starving. We decided to eat at Vikings. Ewan ko ba kay Kat. Kakakain lang, sa buffet pa nag aya. She's craving for it daw.

"You're gaining weight, Kat." I said as we start eating. "Kain ka ba ng kain?"

"Really?" I saw her eyes lit up.

"Yeah. Your tummy is getting bigger din," I said and pointed out his tummy.

"Maybe because nakakalimutan ko na mag exercise. Tinatamad na din ako mag gym lately, eh," she shrugged. "You know that?"

"What?" I raised my brows.

"Like, you don't feel doing anything for the whole day. Tapos parang maya't maya ako nahihilo. I don't know." She shrugged again.

"Over fatigue, I guess? Maybe you're pushing yourself too much. Sobrang busy mo na, eh," I said.

"Oh, well, anyway, kamusta na kayo ni Senator Brian? Kamusta 'yung pag punta nyo sa San Juan?" She suddenly asked.

"Ayos naman." I answered. "What do you think of Brian?"

"What do you mean anong tingin ko kay Senator?" She asked while typing something on her phone. I just waited her to put it down before I answered.

"I mean, what do you think of him not as a politician. Just whoever he is. When we get there kasi, girls are flocking over him. I don't know," I answered not knowing how to explain.

"Well, I'm not close to him but I think he's the type of who has good values, good sense of right and wrong, good with people. Well, of course he is. He need to be. He's a politician."

"Do you think he's one of those politicians who takes bribes from the mob?" I suddenly asked.

Not that I'm suspecting Brian. I just got curious and I just realize that I really don't him as a politician.

"Hindi ko naman nararamdaman kay Senator 'yon. Bakit mo naman nasabi?"

"Nothing. Naalala ko lang 'yung sinabi nila kuya." I shrugged.

"Ano 'yun?" He asked.

"They tried to reverse my perspective towards Brian by saying that they know better Brian than me daw. I can't oppose to it though. Mas madalas silang magkasama. They're in the same world." I answered. I'm now just looking at my plate, playing my food by my utensil.

"Don't mind them. You know Politicians. They play in the same room." She stated. I just shrugged and continue eating.

We've just spend most of the time in the Vikings to chattered and of course to eat. It's a buffet after all. We're in the middle of chattering when I felt my phone vibrated. Brian is calling.

"Hello?" I answered his call.

[Hi, are you home?] He respond with his baby alike voice.

"No, I'm with Katrina." I felt Kat looked on me so I muttered that it's Brian.
