"Alis na ako, Snow," Emma said dahil tapos na ang kanyang shift and it's now my turn, "Wag sana mainis sayo ang mga costumer natin.” Pabiro nya pang sabi.

Ayaw kong magsinungaling pero I tend to irritate people here and there, but only because they irritate me. Wag ko kong masamain ah, pero mabait naman akong tao. I simply follow my guiding principle of 'Treat me right and you'll be fine, but treat me wrong and you'll cry.' Mabenta naman ang ice cream shop ngayon kahit papaano. Mayroong grupo ng mga binata sa isang sulok. Kanina pa sila rito pero walang ni isa sa kanila ang mayroong balak na umalis dahil nag-eenjoy yata sila tungkol sa kanilang pinag-uusapan. My eyes flickered shut as I watched for a customer to show up. Nakatayo lang ako habang pinipilit na gisingin ang aking sarili. Fighting the urge to sleep had been a splendid battle with myself

“Oo nak!” she yelled in excitement, almost bouncing her head from too much nodding. Mom's contagious smile infected me at this point. ‌ ‌ Sa pagkaka alala ko, si Tita Maggie ang bestfriend ni mama evr since kinder pa ako. Napangiti nalang si mama "She deserves to be happy after such a long time since her husband's death. And what makes it even happier is that " She trailed off, creating a suspense atmosphere. "Is that? What mom? Tuloy mo lang ma!” I said, eager to know it. I was desperate for an answer because I didn't want to wait any longer. "She has asked you to be her bridesmaid, Si Nathan bilang ringbearer at ako daw ang kanyang maid of honor!" She was ecstatic. Oh..I've never been a bridesmaid before, so this will be my first experience. ‌ ‌ "Wow! That sounds amazing!" I exclaimed, knowing how important it must be for my Aunt. "Kailan daw ang kasal ma?” Tanong ko pa.” "Next month na, nak.”

Tumakbo ako papalapit sa kanya, pushing past a few people who appear to have bathed in cologne. He had his hands in his pockets and his face was expressionless at hinawakan ko ang kamay nya.Nabigla sya sa ginawa ko, "What are you-" he exclaimed, surprised.I instanlty leaned in at bumulong sa kanya,"Please don’t act weirdly. Pretend to be my boyfriend," Strawberry guy, as I call him, stares at me blankly, at tinginanan ang mga lalaking nakatayo sa likod ko. Napansin ata ng mga lalaki na hindi ako kilala ni strawbery guy at sinabing, “Hindi, miss, mukhang hindi ka nga kilala ng lalaking to-" the second guy began, but was cut off. "Do you have a problem with my girlfriend?" Strawberry guy raised his eyebrows, cutting his sentence off. Nabigla ako dun kaya I masked it bago pa man nila ako mabuking. Thank goodness ang bilis nyang maintindihan ako!“Sure ka? Girlfriend mo sya?” They kept mocking us. I looked at Strawberry Guy and told him to do somet

What in the world have I gotten myself into? Ano ba tong pinasukan ko? I’m dead. I’m not even exaggerating. I’m literally in trouble. “Are you sure about that?" he inquired at tumango nalang ako. "Then turn around, walk away, and stay as far away from me as you can," he said. I came to a halt at that point, knowing exactly what he meant. "Wait, are you making fun of me? Gusot mo akong umalis?" Tumango sya at napakurap kurap ako. Mayroon ba syang puso? How heartless of him. I couldn’t help but laugh at that, wiping away my feigned tears. Tiningnan nya ako na para bang baliw, "Bakit ka tumatawa?" he asked, quite alarmed at my state. "You're going insane." Yes, I really am. And I don’t bother hiding it.

Si Tita Maggie! "Maggie!" Mom exclaimed, both women embracing each other as if they were in the middle of a scene. Napatawa ako, my nerves calmed by the sight of Tita Maggie. Nathan regarded them both with interest as they exchanged pleasantries. "What have you been doing all this time?" Mom asks, crossing her arms in front of her and acting irritated with her friend. “Hindi mo man lang ako tinawagan at inupdate sa lovelife mo!” Tita Maggie smiled at her apologetically, "I’m sorry, Evy, I was just busy traveling around the world with Martin," said her sweet voice.
