" Shabby?"

Halos maniningig na ang tuhod ko dahil sa sinabi niya.

"I-ikaw ba yung tumawag sa akin?"

Gulat parin akong napatitig sa gawi niya. Hindi maaaring siya ang taong hinihintay ko.

"Yes, I'm the one who called you because you drop this necklace. I think you're the owner, am I right?" Sabi niya tsaka itinaas niya ang kwintas ko. Agad akong tumakbo pabalik sa kaniya para kunin yung kwintas. Pero nagtataka lang ako kung bakit niya ako tinawag sa pangalang iyon. Tuwing binabanggit yung pangalang iyon, may naaalala lamg ako.

"It's engraved in the necklace." he stared at me. Teka, tama ba yung narinig ko? I look at my necklace and he's right, my nickname's engraved here- wait, what? I took a glance again on my necklace and I, just now, notice the engraved name.

Confirmed, napakatanga ko nga talaga.

"K-kahit na, next time don't call me on that name again. I might get a wrong idea."  said while trying to put back my necklace. Why am I struggling to put it back on my neck?

"Let me do that." He grabbed my necklace and locked it.

thump.

thump.

thump.

Gosh, Heart please calm. You're too sensitive!

"Uhm, thanks. Let's go, we'll gonna buy some groceries and after that, we'll going to buy some stuffs for you. Okay lang ba yun sa'yo?"

Clyde nodded, kissing my forehead sweetly as he pulled me at the nearest grocery store. It seems like he knows the place.

Habang namimili ako ng mga frozen products, nakita ko si Clyde bitbit ang mga gulay na napili niya. Akala ko ba walang ka alam-alam ang mga robot sa mga pagkain? Di ko naman akalaing vegetarian pala tung robot nato.

"Vegetables are important sources of many nutrients, including potassium, dietary fiber, folate, vitamin A, and vitamin C."

Ano 'tong pinagsasasabi ng robot na'to?

"This spinach is a leafy green vegetable and a great source of calcium, vitamins, iron, and antioxidants.

Due to its iron and calcium content, spinach is a great addition to any meat- or dairy-free diet." And he stated all the informations about those veggies that he held tsaka niya ito ilagay sa cart.

"Also, this tomatoes-"

"Teka, teka, teka. Ba't ba andami mong piniling mga veggies? I don't even know how to cook it." Oo masustansiya nga yan but to be honest hindi talaga ako as in vegetarian. Yes I'm totally a picky eater when it comes to veggies.

"You need to eat all of these, I want you to be healthy." He added the vegetables to the cart. Ano daw? Lahat ng ito para sa akin? Itong robot nato, parang mas alam pa niya ang dapat kainin kesa sa akin. Ako kasi kinalakihan ko na'ng mga canned goods, mga frozen products,mga cup noodles and eggs; yan lang talaga yung alam kong lutuin.

Napailing nalang ako sa pagiging concerned nitong robot nato sakin. He's too human when he act but I'm so blessed to have like him even though he's only a robot.
