Third Person's PoV

"Excuse me nurse Arlyn, where is the office of Doctor Frello?" Tanong nito sa isang nurse ng pumasok siya sa ospital.

"Ahmmm...third floor sir sa bandang kanan po pangatlong room." Sagot ng nurse at ngumiti ng matamis sa kausap.

Agad siyang lumakad at hinanap ang office ng kanyang doctor.

*Tok...Tok...Tok*

"Pasok." Pormal na tugon ng doktor at pumasok na siya at naupo sa silya malapit sa mesa ng doktor.

"About my condition." Agad nitong tugon matapos umupo at humarap sa doktor. "I want yoy to be honest to me this time." malamig nitong tugon sa doktor. Napabuntong hininga naman ang doktor at hinanda ang sarili upang sabihin ang lumabas sa test ng kanyang pasiyente.

"Your condition was getting worse. You should keep yourself away from the negative thoughts and vibes. Make your self happy. Do what your heart's like. Stay away from the thing theat gives you emotional pain. If you didn't consider my advice...di na ako magugulat na one day dadalhin ka dito sa hospital na nirerevive na at soon wala ng buhay."

Iñigo's PoV

"Iñigo! Sa tingin mo anong magandang iregalo kay Mae?" Lee asked me while looking some jewelries and other atuffs na pwedeng iregalo na magugustuhan ni Mae.

We're at the mall, nagpasama sa'kin si Lee tutal naman nakalimutan ko ang regalo ko kay Mae, kaya sumama na ako. Mamayang tanghali pa naman mags-start ang klase ko kaya talagang napasama na ako kay Lee. Sabay sabay kaming umalis kanina sa bahay nila Mae. Mae's class was early.

"I think you should buy a simple thing. Knowing Mae she didn't want an expensive one. Kahit simple kung bukal naman sa puso mo, for sure she will really love it." I said and gave him some smile.

"Eh ikaw ano pala binili mo?" Deym! I need to get it.

"Uhmmmm...Lee, I need to get my birthday gift for Mae, I forhot it yesterday. Wait for me in the entrance." Then he nodded. Bumalik na siya sa pagtingin tingin ng stuffs at ako eh dumiretayo na sa store na pinagbilhan ko ng stuff toy.

"Miss?" I'm trying to get the attention of the saleslady, then she turn to me and give me some genuine smile.

"Yes...sir? Kayo yun sir yung iniwan ang stuff toy na binili niyo. Tinawag ko kayo ng tinawag pero di kayo limingon sir." She said. Nice thing she remember me. I gave her a smile then I nooded.

"Where is my stuff toy?" I asked, pero ngumiti lang siya ng nakakaloko.

"Para sa girlfriend niyo sir?" She asked me while touching my shoulder na parang close na close kami. Tss.

"Nope, for my friend." I said at iniwas ko ang kamay niya sa balikat ko. "Can you please give it to me?"

"By the way I'm Grace sir." Di ba siya nakakahalata that I'm in hurry.

"I don't have time to make some chitchats to you. So please give it to me, bago ko pa tawagin manager niyo." I tried to calm myself.

"Sorry po sir." Paghingi niya ng tawad then she lay a bow to me. Tss...

"Sorry sir pero nakuwa na po ang stuff toy na binili niyo kahapon." Ha??? I already paid it!

"What do you mean?"

"May isang babae kasi sir kasama yung boyfriend niya na kinukulit siyang makuwa yung stuff toy, sabi ko nga sir eh nabili niyo na pero nagpumilit po at pinatawag ang manager namin...nagdagdag po sila sa original price ng almost five thousand kaya po di nakatanggi ang manager ko. Sorry sir." Shit! Sino ba kasi yun?! Kitang bayad na aagawin pa! Ang dami talagang mangaagaw sa mundo. "Saka sir limited kasi yung ganun kaya talagang pinilit ni ate girl."

"Where's your manager?" I said...saleslady turned her back then she call her manager.

"Sa office na lang daw po sir." What? So I need to adjust for him.

"No! Call him or else I will report your store at ipapasara ko'to!" Napasigaw na ako dahil sa inis. Napalingon tuloy ang ibang tao sa store...napayuko naman ang saleslady sa pagkapahiya.

"Sige sir tawagin ko lang po ulit." Bumalik siya sa office ng manager niya at maya maya pa eh dumating na yung manager niya.

"Sir...how may I help you?" Formal question of the stupid manager.

"If you wanted to have a big price on your product, name it! I can pay for it!!! But according to the law...giving an additional price to the product's suggested retail price was againts the rights of every consumers! I know na alam nyo yan." I shouted to the manager...wala na akong pakielam na mapahiya siya...he did a wrong thing.

"Sir, bibigyan na lnag namin kayo ng halos ka same nung product...for free na lang po tas yung pera po na binayad niyo is ibabalik na lang po. Sorry for that sir." He said sincerely, I nodded dahil di naman ako ganun kasama.

"Just make sure next time wala sanang bias in terms of your customers." I said, then my phone suddenly ring.

"Excuse me." I mumbled while picking up my phone.

Lee calling...

"Where are you? Nauna na ako ng tagal mo, I took thirty minutes waiting. See you at school grounds."

"Sorry Lee, I have done my unfinished business. See you!" Binaba ko na ng phone at bumalik sa store, kinuwa ko na rin ang stuff toy at yung cash na ibabalik sa'kin eh di ko na kinuwa...baka malugi pa sila at walang swelduhin ang manager...It's nine thousand nine hundred ninety nine pesos. Pero gusto ko pa rin yung isa kahit na naghahalaga yun ng fifteen thousand pesos.

Dumaan muna ako sa condo unit ko para iwan ang binili ko, saka ako dumiretsyo sa M.U.

While walking on the hallway, I just thought about someone who bought the stuff toy in the price of twenty thousand pesos.

Dumiretsyo na ako sa room at muntik na akong malate. Ang tagal kasi matapos ng business ko sa store na yun. I doubt if I will coming back there.
