Chapter 4 - The High School Boy

Saturday's subsequently means a relaxing day after a whole week of unending school work and the time where you can over sleep.

He was awaken by insistent knocking on his door, the first thing he did was check his phone and look at the time in which he saw it was just past 8 as he got up to open the door wanting to yell at the person outside but what he saw is his mom smiling then she gently pull him to the kitchen and give him warm breakfast as if bribing him into something illegal.

After breakfast she the probe him to take a bath and give him a list of things he should be able to find in the grocery since they were going to have guest in the evening and she still has so many things to do. As an only child he has always been the only one with free hands in the family and this thing always happen like when there is a new neighbor or when dad forgets something which occasionally makes him sigh and mumble why did they only have one child.

It was weekend so the grocery was a little bit crowded or is it normally like this he thought, a little unsure he survey the area lane after lane then see the long line in the cashier thinking it would definitely shorter when he finished. Picking the products listed on the paper and then it suddenly dawn him that her mother has only written the basic information and not the brand of each item, grabbing his phone he give his mother a call which was ignored then he tried again being wary of the person passing by since he have been standing in front the product lane and doesn't want to be in trouble with anyone finally the call went through and his mother said to pick things that was usually found at home, scratching his head he proceed to pick things he thinks is found is being used in their house since he has no idea what is what.

Arriving at home he put the grocery in the counter and wanted to catch some sleep but just as he was going to close his eyes he heard his mom calling him in the kitchen sounding a little bit irritated and angry. A little bit confused he goes to the kitchen receiving endless question and remark for being dumb and wastrel he look over his dad asking what he did but his dad just clear his throat as if saying he doesn't know what is happening too then as if his mom heard their secret conversation she explained that what he has brought is something over the budget and that he should have looked at the price before picking it or he could have called if he was confused.

This event is something he couldn't forget because what he has in mind is that it was his mom who told him to pick whatever but it was still him who was scolded. "Women", he thought is a complicated universe he could not understand at all and he should not contemplate about right now....
