Emma's POV:
It's 3 days until Christmas, the great news is that all parts of the gang will come, even Margarette
Marcus was hesitant at first but he eventually agreed as I kept on forcing him. I don't know if he already forgave her but without doubt, I can say she won't cause anymore trouble
I was never mad at Margarette, I mean, maybe I did but not to the point that I don't want her around, she's part of Marcus' squad anyway
Pupunta sila dito mamaya para malalaman namin kung sino ang bibigyan namin ng gift and they also wanted to see Meryl.
I miss them, it's been awhile since they visited. I guess they came here often times but I was not able to see them due to how depressed I was back then
I am actually getting ready kasi pupunta kami ng mall ni mommy para bumili ng gifts para kay Marcus, Clent at Meryl kahit hindi pa sure na sila ang mapipili ko
"Honey, are you done?", I heard my mom outside the restroom
Nandito pa kasi ako sa CR, galing nag toothbrush, "sandali nalang ma"
Hindi nalang siya nag respond, pagka labas ko ng CR, nakita ko si Mama
Naka long blue knitted top at my puting scarf, at naka loose black pants siya.
Ang fashionista naman ng mama ko, bagay naman, fun fact, my mom is only 37 years old. So we kinda get the same vibes, sometimes, and I mean sometimes
"Aren't you a little dressed up?", I commented as I am only wearing an oversized white hoodie and dark blue fitted pants
"Oh no honey, now let's go", I just rolled my eyes
Kinuha ko ang wallet ko na nasa drawer ko before I head out
Habang nandito kami sa elevator, nag message ako kay Marcus na if ever pupunta siya kay Meryl, gusto ko ina-update niya ako about kay Meryl.
He replied that his okay with it
I wonder if they both have prepared something
Kahit umaga pa, ang lamig na sa labas, akala ko ba iniba na ng global warming ang panahon
Pagkarating namin sa car, nagpamusic agad ako, pinili ko Kpop Songs, I have a playlist for all of the Kpop songs from the Kpop groups that I stanned.
Pinili ko ka agad ang bagong kanta ng Blackpink, 'DDU DU DDU DU'
Comeback nila noong June, at ibang hit 'to, at nagcomeback rin yung BTS at Twice
I am well fed as a kpop fan
Nang makarating kami sa Mall, ang raming tao, at hindi ko gusto ang ganito
Sinabi ko nga ni Mama na pupunta way more earlier than today, she didn't listen and said she was too lazy
Oh well, pati siya nagsastruggle.
Pumunta kami first sa Bench kasi naman, nandito lang sa first floor, bumili si Mama ng 3 clothes at agad kaming pumunta sa Penshoppe, at bumili na namang 2 clothes para kay Clent lang yon ha.
Kumuha nalang din ako para kay Marcus, I insisted na ako lang ang magbabayad kay Marcus pero gusto ni Mama na siya para magsilbing Christmas gift nalang rin daw para kay Marcus
Pumunta kami sa H&M para makabili ng damit para sa'kin, I like H&M and Forever21 so much, this is the first time after a long time I actually got to shop clothes for myself
I guess I bought about 8 clothes, it was not cheap okay? But mom said it's a Christmas gift, included na yung dress na susuotin ko for the Christmas party
Now for Meryl, bumili nalang ako ng BT21 pillow, may narinig kasi akong may BT21 pop up store na bago palang nagbukas, fan naman yun ng BTS
Bias niya si Jhope kaya si Mang yung binili ko.
Pumunta nalang din kami sa Grocery Store para bumili ng pagkain, sabi ni mama, magluluto nalang daw siya para sa salo-salo namin
There's just something about shopping on December, it makes you feel happy and makes you feel generous.
Hinatid ako ni mama pabalik sa hospital, umuwi lang daw muna siya para ilagay ang mga binili namin.
Nagsuggest nalang din siya na ang mga regalong binili ko para sa mga kaibigan ko, dadalhin niya rin daw para hindi nila makikita.
Nang makarating ako sa hospital, naka receive ako ng text galing kay Marcus na nandoon na pala sila sa room ni Meryl, pati si Clent, nandoon na.
Nang makarating ako sa room ni Meryl, ang ingay ingay, hindi makuha lahat ng hearing aid ko, sabay-sabay kasi.
Kaya ayon, wala akong naiintindihan.
Hindi nagtagal, binaha nila ako ng mga tanong tungkol sa'min ni Marcus, ang iingay nga e
"Teka lang, isa-isa, hindi ko ma gets", pinakita ko sa kanila ang hearing aid ko
Naguguilty sila at dahan-dahang tumahimik, natatawa ako sa kanila.
"Ayieiei miss ko na kayo, ang tagal niyo na kasing hindi nagparamdam e", sabi ko sa kanila, I saw Margarette being lonely at the corner, probably too embarrassed to talk to me, "pati ikaw Margarette", I said
Tumingin siya sa'kin, binigyan ko siya ng smile and there I saw her lips curved up. She suddenly hugged me too as the boys let go of me.
Meryl is happy to see all of us, which makes me happy too because it's a great factor, it doesn't give you stress, anxiety or can't even make you overthink which are reasons why it'll get worse
If people get cured by happiness alone, I would be busy making people happy which eventually will make me happy too.
Nag hangout muna kami, bago kami pipili sa manita/manito namin
Habang busy sila sa paglalaro, nandito ako, sitting on Marcus' lap, habang sinulat ko ang mga pangalan namin sa papel. Not my fault, wala ng space, at wala na ring chairs.
Nang matapos ako dito, inilagay ko sa isang disposable cup ang mga papel, at isa-isa silang pinabunot ng papel
Nagsimula ako kay Felix, tapos kay Ghenel, kay Chad, kay Margarette, kay David, tapos kay Clent, tapos kay Marcus, at kay Meryl.
Isa nalang ang naiwang papel at para sa'kin yon, sabay-sabay kaming binuksan ang mga iyon.
Gladly, walang nakabunot sa sarili nilang pangalan.
Si Felix yung nakuha ko, pupunta ako sa Mall tomorrow or hindi kaya magpapabili nalang kay Mama kasi nakakapagod pumunta e.
Since Felix is a nerdy kind of guy, plano kong siya bilhin ng Greek Mythology na book.
Hindi nagtagal, umuwi na sila
I can't wait to see them on December 25th
