From Arshani's point of view, we are now located in the St. Monica Hospital in Manila. We traveled to Manila for a checkup since the hospital in our province of Batanes was unable to pay for our medical care and there was no money in the province.
It's Arshani! Come on, you little child, don't make it clear that we come from a rural area; we have to appear as if we are wealthy since we are part of a social group. We walked inside after my mother mentioned something to me.
The red polka-dot outfits that we purchased in London are what we are wearing right now. Do you hear about Ukay-Ukay?
What exactly are we going to do at this location, Mom? There is no other facility that can compare to Malacañang! In a yell, I addressed my mother.
Because our mother told us that we were wealthy, we were required to communicate in English. The other individuals in this room cast their gaze at us and remarked that we were too stunning.
"Arshani, you have a check-up today, remember?" In English, Mother spoke, and her voice was considerably more audible than before.
Mother exerted a great deal of effort to communicate in English, for the simple reason that it is possible that we are more challenging than they are.
I am aware that there is a checkup scheduled for today, Mom. I beg you, Mom, to avoid using incorrect grammar in your English; otherwise, it will be clear that we are not wealthy! Following my mother's announcement, I drew her inside.
"Is it possible that you, Arshani, are unable to slow down!? Perform chin-ups, and then go to the catwalk afterward. It was on the television that your grandfather Ezra was watching. For that reason, my mother explained to me, that we did it jointly.
More and more people are staring at us, and many are saying that we are too lovely. What do you mean, are you envious?
It's me, miss! Could you please inform me of the location of the doctor? Mom inquired while taking off her sunglasses.
The English that my mother speaks is so impressive that we gave each other high fives.
"Yes Ma'am, which doctor is it?" At the reception, the woman who was present inquired.
Oh my goodness! Due to the fact that I failed to inquire about which physician we were looking for, my mother and I could end up making a mistake in our communication. The reason those young ladies are dressed in all white is because they are nurses who will be of assistance to us.
"Arshani, I do not believe that the woman is able to assist us. "Even we are clueless about the name of the physician." She spoke to me in a hushed tone.
Take a look at this, Mom; it's the receipt from the doctor. I hushed my mother and said, "I already knew that we were going to be confused from the beginning."
The two ladies who are now seated at the reception desk are eyeing us. Perhaps it is because this is the first time they have ever seen beautiful people, yet we are a lot more attractive than they are for some reason.
"In that case, Arshani, miss, where is this doctor's chamber located? Take a look at this receipt. I believe that this physician is a member of this hospital. The mother reported to the nurse.
Absolutely, it is my mother! We have the ability to compete here with our English abilities, in my opinion.
"Ah, it's there on the 2nd floor, room 1010." Once the nurse had finished speaking to her mother, she handed the document back to us. Oh, this nurse is really impolite, she informed us that she was frequently (boys' balls in Tagalog) disrespectful.
"Mother, would you mind if we went and looked for it? It's just up the stairs." It is impolite of that nurse to speak. The only thing she informed us was that we were asking questions in the correct manner. Following my mother's announcement, I dragged her to the elevator.
This is the very first time that we are riding this, Arshani; what are the steps that we need to take? When it is written here, it indicates that there is only room for one passenger to ride up. If you want to bike with me, simply follow me first. The elevator was occupied by the mother initially. Just now, I gave her a wave.
The only thing I did was wait for the elevator to descend once more. After I had gotten off, I then went on it.
Given that there is a camera, my initial concern was to make sure that I looked attractive! It is possible that it will be broadcast on television; nevertheless, my mother was not able to see it. Just as I was focusing my attention on the camera, a man entered the room. As someone who is dressed in full white and holding documents, I believe that one of them is also a nurse.
"Uhm, sir, this elevator is only available for use by a single individual. You will be waiting here until it is your turn to ride the elevator, which will move up and down. I informed him before shutting the door to the elevator.
I like to think that my mother is the one who gave me my English abilities. When I think about how good I am, it makes me proud.
"Oh Arshani come on, let's just find where your room is." My mother informed me and was there to help me up when I reached the peak.
"Oh Mother, I think it's here!" I pointed to a door that was open.
Undoubtedly, this is the only door that is open, and it is this door. It should come as no surprise that the other ones are closed since there are people, no? "Well, yes, the other door is closed," the person said. "Is it for privacy?" The only door that is open is this one, therefore let's go in. It was spoken by Mother.
I was picked up by my mother, and we walked inside. Excited, what do you think will take place?
