Enchanted Series #2: Not Where the Storyline Ends

Chapter 3

"Yeah, I'll go later" aniya ko sa tawag at binaba ang cellphone.

I'm busy for a day. I eat the garlic bread for almost one hour, but not as short as five minutes, and also drank coffee and have my bathroom break.

I wear a white summer office blouse, na tinernuhan ko ng black slacks with black stiletto heels, matching my moon and stars dangle earrings.

Dala dala ko rin ang paborito kong black shoulder bag na Gucci ang brand. Inilagay ko ang lipstick ko na Maybelline super stay matte ink ko na shade number 225 for a little bit colorful lips.

I styled my hair into a wavy one. Bagay siya especially I have black hair.

Lumabas na ako ng condo at pinaandar ang sasakyan. Nakaalis na ako. Ayon sa kaibigan kong si Veronica, sa MOA kami magkikita.

t's a thirty minute drive at nakarating na ako sa Mall of Asia. I exactly saw Veronica with her light reddish blonde hair na naka style pa ng messy bun, together with her black floral off shoulder and black square pants.

Oh pak nasa beach ang lola n'yo.

Samantalang ako mukhang papasok ng opisina.

But I guess this is okay to keep myself lowkey.

"Why for now" I said, she laughed at pumasok nalang kami.

agpunta kami sa Miniso "bumili ka ng gusto mo" alok niya. Umiling lang ako at abalang hawakan ang mga bagay na gusto kong hawakan.

I touched a teddy bear. I wanted a teddy bear ever since I was a kid but I never had one. Instead of a stuff toy that I was touching to enjoy my childhood, I touched books, mostly of them are about politics and business.

They also compared me to other politician's children, that they are better than me, they even told me that they wished that those kids are their children instead of me.

Lumala ito hanggang sa sinusuka ko nalang mga kinakain ko in order to strive more and to be perfect.

"Nakahanap ka na?" Veronica asked. Tumango ako at pinakita sa kanya ang teddy bear.

She checked for possible damage. "may pera ka pambili nito?" tumango ako.

Naghahanap siya ulit ng gamit. Nang makahanap ay agad namin itong binayaran.

agkatapos ay sa National Bookstore kami pumunta, we brought some books.

She bought some wattpad books while I bought a handy school supplies I needed for notes.

"Laging kaunti binibili mo, may problema ka ba?" she asked. Umiling ako at binalot na nung cashier 'yung pinamili niya.

Binigay ko sa cashier ang pinamili ko and binayaran ko ito.

Sunod na punta namin ay sa blue magic teddy bear shop, birthday ng kapatid ni Veronica na si Bethany at gusto nito ng teddy bear.

"Oh bili ka pa ng teddy bear kung gusto mo" aniya, at binigay sa akin ang penguin na maliit na teddy bear na nagngangalang Adelie.

Umiling ako. "sige na bilhin mo na, para naman magkaroon ng kaunting design office mo sa condo unit mo" pumilit niya. Umiling parin ako.

But it doesn't stop her hanggang sa napilit niya aki ng tuluyan. I bought that twinning penguin that cost 200 pesos. Good thing kasi tatlong libo lang dala ko.

Need to conserve money.

agpunta kami sa Classic Savory, bumili ito ng Chami or fresh miki noodles sautéed in meat and vegetables, Garlic chicken, and shanghai rolls.

"May cr ba rito?" tanong ko cause I know that I'll have my bathroom break after this. Sa dinami ba naman ng binili niya hindi ako magsusuka nito.

"Oo, bakit? Isusuka mo na naman 'yan?" how did she know that I am bulimic?

"Charot" asar niya. I sigh in relief, akala ko naman kung ano na. "pero seryoso may cr sila"

I purged again.

Clearly it was painful, I feel regrets while eating! I should have been maintain my reputation and dietary.

Good thing is sa toilet ako sumuka at hindi sa lababo. Fuck, I'll pay for the repair here.

I got my relieve when I got done purging, I flushed the toilet at nagmumog sa sink nila.
I wiped my lips with tissue and I accidentally bumped into someone.

He looks like a... Commoner, judging by his clothing.

"Are you... Thraia? As in Thraia Rose Sariaya?"
