There was a guy named Tommy. They were not that rich. Only a little. He is still not in school due to being put into rehab for smoking and marijuana and they paid a great amount on it. He is 23 years old and just had his birthday on November 5 which eventually got uncelebrated. One day, he was outside of their condo when he saw that somebody was running. He was holding a bag and an old man was also running and following the person. He shouted, "Stop that guy! He stole my buddy bag!" Tommy's head was circling with thoughts until he decided to help the old man. He followed the thief and eventually got hold of him and punched him in the face. He was also punched but Tommy punched him again and again until the culprit was unconcious and his nose was bleeding. Tommy took the bag and run back to the old man. "Thank you oh so much boy for helping me get my buddy bag back. It is very important to me." Suddenly the old man started to hold his breathe and was getting a heart attack. "Oh! I think I'm dying!" But before he died he told Tommy, "I want you to have this bag of mine as a reward of helping me... I must tell you, this bag has ma..." Without finishing what he was about to say, the old man lost his breathe. "Help! Help! Someone's dying!" Tommy exclaimed. The paramedics came and the old man was dead on arrival at the hospital. Tommy felt sorry for the old man. The robber was caught by the police and was sent to jail. Tommy took the bag and went home. He climbed to his bed and put the bag beside him. He was trying to think about what the old man was trying to say but then died. "Thanks anyways". Then fell into deep slumber.
He woke up by the shaking of him by his sister. "Tommy! Tommy! Our Sister just got breast cancer!" "What!?" He was sad because of the bad news. There wasn't much money and their parents are trying to make end's meet. Their mother was crying and their father has a deep sad look on his face. Before they lived in a village but they transfered to a condo unit at El Pueblo where there was electricity and water. It was the dorm of his fat little brother and little sister who were then 2nd year college. The house that they left was in debt to Meralco, the Electric Company and Manila Water. The unit was kinda out of space for them 6 who where living there but they tried to fit in. Their mother is an interior designer and their father has no job but helps with his mother. They still don't have a contract yet and they were all starving because their parents have so much little money left. Tommy started to steal some metal at the roof top and sold junk just to eat and give some little money to his parents and siblings. He made about P100 but it still wasn't enough for their everyday living. The metal was about to be empty and then when he was picking the left ones, a janitor caught him and reported him to the admin. He was scolded by his parents and he became sadder and sadder as days pass by without his sister being hospitalized. Their parents tried to ask the hospital to take their sister and they will just pay the bill when they got a contract and the hospital agreed but after a few days, the hospital was asking for their pay and said they will be stopping the healthcare for their sister if they don't pay immediately. The parents begged them to wait just a little while.
Tommy was staring at the window and gazing at the Pasig River blankly. His fat little brother was so hungry and ate at his friend's unit. He has been doing this lately when they were short in money to buy food. Tommy was out of cigarettes. He was just picking second hand cigarettes and was shy because some people caught him doing so. His friend Kyle let him borrow money one time which was P500 and he gave P450 to his parents and took the P50 and bought some Mighty Red Cigarettes and Coke Mismo at the Kambal Pandesal Store at the ground floor. He was smoking at the balcony. He was still trying to figure out what the old man wanted to say when he was still breathing. "He said the bag has ma... What does that mean? Money? Their ain't no money there when I checked it." "Manicure? Oh s**t. I don't know... Man? Haha." He went home and he found out that there was only one day left before his sister was going to be sent back home due to not paying the hospital. He was damned. He was writing songs and plans to make a band called Cinch. His ballpen ran out of ink. "Man! My pen is out of ink. Hey Michelle, do you have an extra pen? He asked his little sister. Her Sister's pens were also ran out of ink. "Damn", he said softly. He got nothing to do and was out of cigarettes. " I think I'll have to borrow money to kyle". He went to kyle but unfortunately, his friend was also broke too and were becoming poor and was asking for his money. Tommy told Kyle he still hasn't money and his friend became angry. "I'll make it up to you Kyle. I'm sorry." He went back at their unit. "I'm hungry..." Said his fat brother. His friend's parents told their son not to let Kim eat at their unit because he was doing this consistently for days and he has a large appetite and was eating almost all the food. He went out again and sold scraps and made P30. It wasn't enough and just bought bread at the store. He gave it all to his siblings. Tommorow is coming and there still wasn't money. He took the buddy bag and put it on him. He read his songs and sang some of it. "I wish this pen has ink... I want a pen." Suddenly, after finishing singing, he opened his buddy bag and saw a pen there!" "What? There isn't a pen here before?" He then wrote songs. His notebook was out of pages and he wanted to erase using liquid eraser some of his mistakes but he hasn't one. "I wish I have liquid eraser." He opened his bag again and poof, there was a liquid eraser. "Holy s**t! How did that happened?" After some th0ughts he then figured, "Maybe that guy was saying there was magic in this bag!" He then said, "I wish I have P1000". He opened his bag and walla, there was 1000 bucks in it! He was astounded and asked for more. He wished for 10,000 bucks at a time until it became a million. He started to think that he musn't tell anybody about this. He planned to make up a story that he helped a foreigner who was a Billionare and was robbed by a thief and got back his money and then was payed by him. His parents came at night and he surpised them with P1,000,000! His parents asked him where he got such large amount of money and he told them his made up story. They were all happy again and ordered pizza. They were able to pay the fee at the hospital for her sister and the doctors said she will be getting well soon. They celebrated and ate many foods and went to malls beaches.
