PSALMS 118:8-9,13-14,17

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.

It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes.

Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.

The LORD is my strength and song, and is become my salvation.

I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD.

"What do you want to talk?"

I moved inwardly. Pinagsiklop ko ang dalawang kamay sa likuran at ngumiti habang nakatingala sa kaniya.

"Uhmm... I have a favor," I said smoothly. Umakto akong mabait at nangingiti sa kaniya para tumulong sa hihingiin kong pabor. If he's striked with my charms, I got him.

"What is it?" tamad niyang sagot. Iginala niya ang paningin sa likuran ko at muling bumalik sa akin.

When our eyes met, I lifted my hands to hold him. Kita ang pagkagulat ni Isaac ng hawakan ko ang kamay niya pero agad niya itong iniwala at tumaas ang kilay sa akin. He let me hold him.

"Can you be Zai's escort?" I uttered my favor. "Can you join the debut?" dag-dag ko pa.

Agad kumunot ang noo ni Isaac sa sinabi ko.

"I thought you don't like it?" he asked confusely.

"No. I like it actually. 'Tsaka kinuha niya rin ako. I'll be one of the candles." I said excitedly.

Seryosong binaba ni Isaac ang kamay ko kasabay ng pag-angat ng kilay niya.

"You're joining?" tanong niya.

"Of course!" tumango ako at pagak na sumagot. Who would forget me? I'm Ezra!

"Kaya sana sumali ka rin. Be Zai's escort please, Isaac?" inilabas ko ang pinakatamis kong ngiti sa kaniya but Isaac only looked at me darkly with his snob eyes.

"I'm not joining." Agad naputol ang kasiyahan ko dahil sa sagot niya.

My face distorted. My sight sharpened.

"Bakit naman? Sige na, sali ka na. It'll be fun, Isaac. Please..." I pleaded. Hindi ko na hinawakan ang kamay niya sa pangungumbinsi at sa halip ay pinagsiklop ko ang dalawang kamay sa harapan niya.

"Please?"

I sounded to hopeful.

"No."

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko. Ang hirap niyang kumbinsihen! Akala ko madali lang para mapapayag siya since may rumors na kasali na siya.

"You'll join. Please, Isaac? Be Zai's escort. I'll be there too!" I convinced him. Pero imbes na sagutin ako, tinalikuran niya ako at naglakad, iniwan akong laglag ang panga.
