&#lt;p&#gt;Dr. Abstract,
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Please, accept the small amount we can give you as our way of our gratitude and appreciation for
taking care of our prince, Storm.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;P.S.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Please, don't give it back. Use it for yourself and for your family.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Thank you.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Kindly regards,
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Mr. and Mrs. Casper
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Wow! Small amount… okay, they were the ones who said it… I’ll accept it then. I put it on my wallet
and thinking of what can I do to treat my family for tomorrow, maybe a lunch and dinner outside, a good
full body massage will be great too. I picked another gift from the box and I saw it was from Flood, his
gift is quite big. “What is this?” I found a note that was attached on the box.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt; &#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Dr. Rackie,
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;You have to use this.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Flood
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Whoa! Even in his note is really demanding. I was surprised when I finally saw what his gift was. It was
the laptop that I’ve been dreaming for which is now mine instantly. “In fairness… he’s good at giving
gifts.” I comments. I remember the gift of Windy, a small box that it seems like a box of phone but quite
smaller than that.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Dr. Rackie,
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Congratulations for passing the board exam.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Truly,
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Windy
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt; &#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I was a bit stunned when I saw it was a small watch phone. “Are they wasting money?” I questioned
unexpectedly. I put the watched on the bed and get another gift from the box. My eyes noticed the
name Director Art from a gift so I get it and open. A pair of shoes, I can’t help but smile. “He knew my
taste on shoes.” I whispered. A white highcut shoes. “I guess, the shoes that I like are too obvious…” I
stood up to put the shoes on the shoe rack. I lie down on my stomach on the bed and get another gift.
It was from Lunar, there’s no note but I saw that a box full of lipstick. “Seven colors for each day
through the whole week?” I chuckled when I saw the arrangement of the lipstick, from light to dark
colors. I sat down and opened the near cabinet; I put the watch Lunar’s gift. I crawl back to my bed and
just grab a gift it was from Master.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Rackie the top three, congrats! - Master
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I’m really stunned, it was the lastest Microsoft phone from Nokia. “Expensive!”I complaint but I have a
smile on my lips. I put it beside the watch. It’s a small box that I got and when I open it… I was
surprised, it’s a car key.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Rackie the Racer
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;You said before that you like to have a vintage car that has a modern design, so I’m making it come
true. Just go to the shop to claim it when you have time. Congratulations!”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt; &#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Wisdom
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I was touched. “Oh, Wisdom…” I whisper. I put it on the bed and I got a card.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Rackie,
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Congratulations! I know you really work hard for it. You deserve a break!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;P.S.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Paint says that her gift is in your studio.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Your eldest sister, Hue
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I smile, Hue never failed to send card. I stood up and immediately went to the studio. I was amazed of
what I’ve seen, I saw canvas which I can’t count. I saw two boxes that were on the table near the small
canvas.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Rackie,&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Congratulations!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Tatay & Mama
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I am so excited to open it and what made me so touched was I saw a camera that I’ve been saving for
to buy, I open the other box and I saw the different kinds of lens for the camera. The overwhelming
feeling makes my heart rejoice. I brought the box that has lens and went inside my room, I noticed the
box near my bed, I thought the box was empty.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Abstract,
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;You really made us proud. Congratulations!
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;Radiance
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I looked at the note. I open it and saw a Polaroid and boxes of films. He knew that I like to take
pictures. “You still know how to make me speechless…” I whisper. I put the wrap papers on the trash, I&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;keep the gifts I receive and arrange it to places in my room then I took some pictures of each then send
a personal message to them with the picture I took.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;'I know you will love it.' Master replied. I didn’t reply to his message, I don’t want him to think that
everything is okay and I’m okay with what he did however I can’t change what happened. I admit it, I
also have a part why it happened. I was careless and I forgot that he is a man and I forgot that he is
always in control. I was startled when I heard the weird ringtone and the funny thing here; I was the one
who set that ringtone for me to know that the caller is Radiance.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I inhale first before answering his call. “I knew you’ll love it, babe!” he said with full of excitement
without me saying hello on the line.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yeah, I also like the color too." I answered bluntly. “Hey!” I yelled when I heard him chuckles. “Do you
think I forgot what you did? If you don’t have anything important to say don’t call me.” I said with
annoyance.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Irate? Do you have a visitor today?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“None of your business!” I irritably replied. I know what he meant about the word visitor, which was his
term whenever I’m having my menstrual period. “Now, if you don’t have anything to say then goodbye.”&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Wait! Babe, you’re my stress reliever here then you’ll just ignore me.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Stop wasting each other’s time.” I replied.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Oh, come on babe…”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Radiance Wilton!" I warned.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Yes, babe?" I can see what was his expression and I’m sure his acting cute.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"Dr. Radiance 'Red' Wilton, act like a CEO!"
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He laughs. "Oh, she’s now angry..." he comments. "I just miss you."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;"I don't miss you, Red. We're done years ago and we will never ever going back together."
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt; &#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p/&#gt;

&#lt;p/&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;He inhale and a long exhale heard from the line. “I was jerk before, I know and I really regret it. I’m
hoping that you’ll give me a ch—” he was interrupt. ‘Dr. Red, the VVIP patient room 02 is looking for
you.’ Someone said to him. ‘Hmm… I’ll go there.’ He replied seriously. “I’ll end this call, a patient is
waiting for me, later.”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“There’s no later.” I replied then I heard him laugh before the line cuts.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;My phone rang again because of the notifications I received from one of the social media. The
notifications kept on coming. The door of my room opens while I was typing my special character for
Cataclysm. The light spread out to the entire place, I looked behind me to see my mother who switched
on the light.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Why didn’t switch on the light?” she asks. “And why are you in the corner?”
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;I looked again on the screen of my laptop. “Ma, I can think better when I’m in the corner and when it’s
dark.” I replied. “What’s the matter?” I ask.
&#lt;/p&#gt;
&#lt;p&#gt;“Hue said that I’ll get the payment for the connection.”&#lt;/p&#gt;
