Chapter 17: Christ-centered
[NATHAN]
[Flashback]
Before 6 years ago...
As I walked to the Campus Corridor, I saw Zanne and Wendy not far off.
Medyo malalim ang pinag-uusapan nila. I started to step towards them...
"Pinag-uusapan niyo?" As I asked that question their attention shifted to me.
They have not yet answered my question, I noticed in Zanne's hand holding a rose and chocolate.
"Sa'n galing yan?" I asked.
"Wait..."
"Sayo sana namin itatanong kung galing ba 'to sayo. Alam naman natin na nililigawan mo Zanne, hindi ba?"-Wendy.
"I didn't--"
"So, hindi galing sayo 'to?Come on Than! Bawal magsinungaling dito." Wendy cut off my says.
"Wendy." Awat ni Zanne sa kanya.
"Kilala ko si Than². Direct to the point siya palagi. Right?" She added.
She always knew me...I realize myself, I want a girl to know me completely. At si Zanne yon...
[End of flashback]
Nasa gilid ako ng daan habang nakasandal sa kotse ko. My way is going to Zanne's house sana kasi tinawagan ako ni kuya Marcos, pero dahil sa sinabi ni Zanne kanina, parang may doubt na...
Some moments,may pumaradang sasakyan sa likod ng kotse ko. Nang lumabas ito napagtanto ko na si Philip pala.
"Nathan?" He said while walked towards me.
"Anong ginagawa mo dito? Hindi ka ba pupunta kanila tito June? Birthday ni Zanne ngayon. At sigurado ako na gusto ka din niyang makita doon!" He said.
"Are you going there too?" I asked.
"Of course. Magagalit yun pag hindi ako dumalo sa birthday niya." He chuckles.
"By the way, I'm sure that you already know about Chebler and Zanne. Isn't you?" -Phil.
"That Chebler didn't deserve Zanne..." I said.
He sighed," Nothing change hah. Umalis alis ka pa kasi. Tignan mo tuloy, naunahan ka."
I missed words to say...
"Palagi mo sinasabi before, you love Zanne dearly." -Phil.
" Ako ang unang nakilala at nakasama ni Zanne at hindi yung Chebler na yun! Alam ko naman na napipilitan lang siya lalaking yun ih."
"At anong gagawin mo? Aagawin mo si Zanne?"
"Nathan, look. They are meant to be marry soon. At kapag kasal na sila, wala ka ng magagawa."
" As you said, pag kasal na sila wala na akong magagawa do'n. But they are not married yet..." I said.

[ZANNE]
Maraming araw na ang lumipas. Segundo, minuto, oras, panahon, at buwan... May napapansin akong pagbabago kay Cheb. Every sunday, he always go to church. The church that I grew up with. At palagi niyang kinukwento sa akin ang relasyon na nabuo muli niya sa Diyos.
Nai-kuwento niya rin kung bakit lumayo yung loob niya kay Lord, when his parents passed away. Pero sana, ipagpatuloy na niya ang sinumalan niya...
May mga paraan talaga ang Diyos. Siya na yung gumagawa mismo ng mga way para bumalik lang sa kanyang ang mga anak niya.
