Gentle kiss of madness (DBS SERIES 1)

Kabanata 16

Did you know?
- That the word 'God' appeared 3,358 times in the Bible.

1 CORINTHIANS 4:20
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

2 TIMOTHY 3:16
All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

2 PETER 2:1
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

Binalewala ko ang pagsigaw-sigaw ni Sadam at dumiretso na sa classroom namin.

Ang iba'y naiiwan talaga ang tingin sa dala ko at nagawa pang magbulungan. Ewan ko kung anong pinag-uusapan nila kaya kung maabutan ko, tinataas ko na lang ng kilay.

"Goodmorning." I greeted everyone when I entered our silent room. Nasa mga upuan na silang lahat at tahimik na nagrereview ng notes nila. Walang kaibahan sa dorm.

"Morning." Si Jessian lang ang sumagot kaya dumiretso na ako sa upuan. But their eyes went down on the flowers.

"Ang ganda ng bulaklak. Boyfriend?" nilingon ko si Zai na nagsalita. Tipid akong ngumiti.

"Goodluck flowers." I answered. Her lips turned big O. Bago ako maupo, nilagay ko ang bulaklak sa ibabaw ng information desk namin para hindi gumulo sa upuan ko. Pagkatapos ay bumalik na ako sa upuan at umupo na.

"By the way, your dress will be ship next day, Ez. Ibibigay ko na lang sa 'yo okay?" ani niya.

I smiled. "Sige. Thank you."

"Welcome." She winked at me. Humarap na siya sa unahan at pinagpatuloy ang pagreview. Ang iba naming classmates ay sulyap lang ang iginawad sa akin at mas priority ang pagrereview.

I took a breathe deeply. Ipinuwesto ko sa kandungan ang dalawang kamay at pumikit ng marahan.

I silently prayed na sana maging madali ang pagsagot ko sa tests. Kahit pasang-awa na lang. Kahit umabot lang ng passing scores.

After praying, I opened my eyes and waited for the proof to come. Hindi nagtagal, dumating din si Sir Calvo na siyang first period namin sa subject na BIBLE TEACHING.

He ordered us to stand as he led the prayer. Pagkatapos ay may sinabi pa siya tungkol sa exam namin na scheduled hanggang bukas.

"Proverbs 1:4-5, To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion. A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:" He said as distributing the test papers unto us.

"Always remember the word of the Lord in Psalms 1:7, The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Don't be a fool to cheat, be honest and God will help you." He reminded us. Matapos maubos ang tests paper ipamigay, naglakad na siya pabalik sa desk niya.

"I'm expecting you to be honest in all your answers, Reubens." He examined us all.

"May the holy spirit empower you. Goodluck." Umupo na siya. Nang sandaling tumakbo muli ang oras, nagsimula na kaming maging seryoso at lahat yumuko sa mga tests papers.

Unang basa ko pa lang ng questionnaire, agad na napuno ng galak ang mukha ko ng maintindihan ito.

The holy spirit empowered me. Doon ko napatunayan na kapag seryoso ka sa panalangin mo, maririnig at maririig ka ng Diyos.
