Katty's POV:
"Congratulations, Katty. I am very happy with your recovery. You can now control yourself very well. I hope that you learn a lot from the past. I also hope that the future that awaits you will be good. You can go now and pass below for your things," said Dra happily. Valdez.
I smiled and almost cried with joy. After a few years, I will be able to get out of rehab. I am happy that there has been an improvement in me. I also want to change my life and forget the past.
After I said goodbye to Dra. Valdez, I went down to the room he pointed to. There were nurses here who assisted me. I just followed them.
They took me to a room and there was a box. I looked at everything and these are the things I had when I first came here.
I took my yellow above-the-knee and sleeveless dress. It's spaghetti straps and I also have brown sandals. My Hermes shoulder bag is also here with only my make-up and cellphone.
After I got dressed I looked in the mirror. I've lost a bit of weight here and my under-eye area has darkened. I also had insomnia which is getting better.
I walked out of the mental asylum and the nurses greeted me. I smiled at them and waved. Others are just afraid of me. I can't take that away from them. My past wasn't really good. Even if only a few people know, it's still sad. The asylum has really changed me since I got better.
I walked out of the corner where the asylum stood. I just waited for a taxi and in a few minutes I got one.
I delivered it to my old condo. I'm so glad I still own it and my parents didn't take it. They still pay my expenses. I'm sure mom will like it.
When I entered it was still the same as before. I smiled. I'm glad my family didn't hate me after all. However, only Dad knows everything. There is nothing he doesn't know when it comes to our siblings. Most of the time we don't even know that he already knows.
I immediately jumped up and lay down on the bed. Its smell stung my nose. Hey, I miss life here outside.
I took a shower and changed my clothes again. Even if I change my clothes ten times, I will not be judged. I'm tired of wearing our white hospital gown.
I took a shower for almost an hour because I enjoyed soaking. The shower gel and shampoo here at the hotel also smell very good. They have changed things and now have their own hotel brand.
When I came out, I immediately put on a new dress. I wore a red sundress. I dressed it up with my Gucci sandals and earlier Hermes bag.
I looked in the mirror and put on a little make-up. My style is simpler now, back to the old Katty. It's still good. I intend to cut my waist-length hair.
Before I left I looked on Facebook. There are many trends now, especially when it comes to clothing. It turns out that the old-school look and the sexy dresses that are easy on the eyes are in fashion now. I was tempted to go shopping outside later.
I saved pictures to look for in the mall. I left the room and went straight out of the hotel. I just took a taxi because I didn't know where my car was.
When I got to the mall there were a lot of people. I can see trendy clothes among young people today. I felt in awe. I also want to imitate their form.
I entered the mall and walked around. I felt hungry so I decided to go to a restaurant and eat.
I entered Marlino and was greeted by the waiter. He guided me to sit in an empty seat.
I looked at the menu and my eyes just widened. Why are things so expensive now?
I let it go because I still had savings in my atm and I also have a black card. I ordered and chose those Pinoy dishes.
I ordered rice porridge, beef sisig, kare-kare, fried rice platter, halo-halo, leche flan, and iced tea. I'm sure I'll be full afterward. I hope I can finish it all because the food is very expensive. I hope it's also delicious.
After waiting for about half a minute, I stared at the waiter. It just stared at me and smiled.
"Enjoy your meal," it said.
He placed what I ordered on the table. I lost my temper because of its fragrant smell. It is appetizing and makes you hungry.
Fortunately, I am now in control of my emotions and actions. Maybe because the order took too long, I already stabbed this waiter who was too sticky to look at.
I ate and the food was very good. The other dish was split so I had it wrapped. I learned to be frugal from a fellow asylum seeker. When I used to be at a party, they said Sharon Cuneta was famous. Wrap me up, she said.
I had the waitress wrap my leftover food. It seemed to wince. Is there a problem?
I also took the bill and reached for my yellow credit card. After a while, the waitress came back and looked at me straight.
"Your card is wrong, miss. If you don't have anything to pay for, you shouldn't eat. You look like you're rich and you have a takeout. It looks stolen," said the waitress flatly.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Try this one," I said calmly and handed her my black card.
It bothered me before leaving. I'm only smiling because I'm good at controlling my emotions. Peace and humility are the answers.
I waited for her to come back and she just bowed. Still carrying the paper bag with only food that I probably wrapped.
"Ma'am G-Katty Heartwell, I'm sorry for my behavior earlier. I didn't know it was you" she said with a straight face.
"How did you know me?" I will ask.
"Y-Your family owns this whole mall. I-I'm really sorry," she said shyly.
