Akim
So this girl is a hell of a rich kid. Kaya pala ganun nya na lang ipinamigay ang 4000 USD worth na hikaw. Her family owns one of the biggest super mall chains in the country.
"My sweetie, hindi ka na pwedeng sumama sa ganoong activities."
"I won't even try again Mom."
"And who is this guy?"
"He saved me."
"Oh My God! Oh My God! Thank you, thank you, How can I ever repay you for saving my precious daughter? What do you need? What can I do for you? Tell me."
What will I ask from them? Hmmn. Wala naman akong kailangan sa ngayon eh just a need to fill my hungry stomach.
"Ay wala naman po Maam. Pero pwede po bang kumain? nagutom po ako sa pakikipaglaban kanina."
"Of course, of course, Hijo."
Masyadong generous si Madame para pakainin ako sa isang napakamahal na restaurant.
"May I know your name Hijo?"
"Akim po."
"Akim?"
"Akim Almonte po."
"Ah, Ako si Ditas Gomez-Teo, at ang anak kong si Dana Teo. Nag-iisa ko yang anak si Dana kaya sobrang thank you Hijo. My father is the former Defense Secretary Edgardo Gomez. Kami---"
"Mom, can you please let him eat."
"Hija, kailangan natin---"
"Mom!"
"Okay, okay, hihintayin kita sa opisina."
"Nice to meet you Ma'am."
"Nice to meet you too hijo."
Naiwan kaming dalawa ni sungit dito sa restaurant.
"Eat then leave."
"Utang mo sa akin ang buhay mo, buti pa yung Mommy mo, marunong tumanaw ng utang na loob."
"I paid the girl with my earrings so she leaves you alone. Did you forget that?"
"So?"
"So we're now even."
"Pero madami akong sugat at masakit ang katawan ko."
"Okay, leave me your number. I lost my phone back there so I will call you on Wednesday."
"Bakit Wednesday pa? Saturday lang ngayon ah."
"Will you be checked tomorrow? You still need to be checked before I pay you."
"Walang ibang may number dito?"
She rolled her eyes and called someone named Liezel.
"She's my EA. I will call you through her."
At least may panghahawakan na ako. So after I eat, I left already.
I went to Kuya Luke so I could be checked. Masakit din talaga tong katawan ko ha.
"What happened to you Akim?"
"Ah, napaaway lang."
"Mom's coming on Saturday, you should heal all the wounds or you will end up having more."
"Totoo? Uuwi sila Mommy."
"It's Kuya Jacob's birthday. Don't you remember?"
"I did. I just didn't think they'll go home."
"Mom never missed Kuya Jacob's birthday."
I raised my hands as a sign of defeat.
"Here are the meds you should take. You need to be careful with what you do!"
"I don't need free meds. Give me the prescription."
"What?"
"Tsk. Just do what I say, give me the prescription, ask for my CT Scan and Xray."
"Akim, yes, there are wounds and inflammations but, I am pretty sure they'll be healing soon. No need for scans and X-Rays"
"I need those."
"Alam mo, ikaw ang pinakawirdong anak ni Nikkaela."
"Ako ang paboritong anak ni Nikkaela."
Kuya snapped my head.
"Masakit yun ha!Pero I need receipt also."
"Receipt?"
"Oo! Resibo. Kasi nagpagamot ako sa'yo!"
"You are really getting weirder."
Kuya Luke gave everything I asked of him. So I take everything. I also bought medicine which I don't usually do. Why would I? I can produce my own medicine.
