After doing my morning routine, I made my way out of
my room only to notice the couple sitting on the dining table. A
sweet smile crept into my face as I noticed their coffee mugs
across the table.
"Good morning," we all greeted in unison. I approached
them gently towards the area, only to hear Miranda speak.
"Come and have a seat. I thought you were still sleeping
so we already started eating," she added before giving me a
plate.
"Thank you," I replied. "After eating, I was planning on
going to the city," I mentioned.
"Why?" Alfred asked. He took a sip on his coffee and
eyed me with a confused look in his face.
"I was planning to buy some school supplies and also
check for my scholarship from the government," I answered.
"I see." Alfred nodded. "We can accompany you if you'd
like," he added, looking spontaneously.
"I'm grateful for your kindness but I'm still going to my
parent's tombstone. It will be a long day for me, I have a lot of
plans I want to do in the city," I responded.
Honestly, I wasn't really planning on going to the
graveyard; I just wanted to be alone. I want to pamper myself
and spend my limited life wherever I want instead of just staying
at home.
A thought crossed my head. Should I just date myself
into movies or something? That would be great.
Upon finishing our breakfast altogether, we heard a
knock coming from the door. Alfred stood up from his seat and
checked who it was while we sat there, looking dumbfounded.
A few minutes passed by, a man wearing a black suit
entered our apartment and brought down a box in the living
room.
We were confused and baffled in our places that we
immediately stood up and went towards the area.
"What is that?" Miranda asked the man.
"It's school supplies for our Señorita Emmie," the man
replied to which I almost choked on my own saliva. My friend
patted my back gently.
"Excuse me, who sent this staff for me?" I asked
between my coughing.
"My apologies senorita, it's highly confidential. But don't
worry in the future you will meet and know the person behind
this," the man reassured.
My forehead creased for a moment. I was left confused
and somewhat distraught. Who would even give her school
supplies for free?
Her thoughts lingered towards the northern region until
she remembered something. There was only one person who
kept on calling her 'Senorita'.
A bitter smile crept into her face. Is it the same person
who sent her a friend request on Facebook?
When the man excused himself to leave, I thanked and
let him pass by.
When I opened the box and checked the content, it was
indeed school supplies. I guess this will help me save a lot of
money since I already have what I need.
My plans changed a little. I went out later at lunch and
made my way towards the government for my scholarship
verification and then went straight to the mall. It was just a
passing day and I was enjoying myself alone when I felt a person
pat me on the shoulder.
Startled by the sudden gesture of a stranger when I
turned around to look at him; my brows immediately furrowed.
I didn't bother to contact Oddette the whole time because
I didn't want to hear about her brother but now? What a weird
and unforeseen coincidence.
I rolled my eyes in my head.
"Where are you looking at? Are you checking if I have
someone by my side or are you... expecting her to be with me?"
he asked with a smirk on his face.
What an insult to dogs like him.
