A Glass of Highs and Lows

by Zhantel Mari Becina

 On a sunny morning, Moi is still drinking alcoholic beverages non-stop at their home with his friend Paul and Dwayne. Her Mother, Ruth, saw them when she just woke up. She is furious with his son because Moi is drinking 24/7 like there is no tomorrow. He is always delighted by his wrongdoings and does not even recognize them. 

One day, Moi is not feeling well and is sick. He called his mother quickly. Then, her mother, Ruth, asks him if he wants to go to the hospital. 

Moi replied, "No, Mom, I just gonna call my friends to go because I know you are also busy today." 

After an hour of Moi waiting for his friends, no one showed up. So that's why his mother still went with him to the hospital in San Pablo City.

A month has passed like a day. Moi is working at her mom's business shop, and drinking alcoholic beverages are no longer his priority, just like his friends before.

The End
