Service

The next day, since it's Sunday and we don't have any classes. My Lola and I just went to the church to attend the weekly ceremony. The church is just a walking distance so hindi na namin kailangan sumakay pa ng motor para makarating doon.

I always coming with her since I didn't have anything to do on house. Also, I think it's really necessary to go to church every Sunday.

Pinatayo kami ng pari ng mag-umpisa siyang magdasal. I closed my eyes too since it's a prayer. When he finished, he ordered us to take our seats.

I took my seat and opened my eyes.

The father was saying something when a familiar figure caught my eyes. Wearing a pair of beige short pants and a white dress shirt, Gen looks so serious (as usual) while taking his seat. I can see him from where I am since he's sitting at the front seats.

The hell!

I quickly said sorry to God when I realized that we're in the church right now.

Sinulyapan ko ang katabi niya. Beside him is an old man wearing a blue long-sleeve and a pair of black pants, he's also wearing a round hat that makes him look richer.

That was probably his grandfather.

I gulped and looked away. I'm supposed to listen to father since he's saying something about the word of god. Yeah, that must I do. And that was I did.

The ceremony ended at the usual time, 9 o'clock to be exact. I was holding my Lola's arm like a kid who's afraid to get lost when we're walking towards the exit door. I felt uneasy for some reason while following her.

Malapit na kami sa labasan nang may biglang kumalabit sa akin. Bigla akong kinabahan at nilingon kung sino 'yon.

"Hi!"

I smiled at Bea. Kala ko kung sino na.

"Hi."

Dahil kasama niya si Tita Cynthia at ang papa niya. Nagkamustahan muna sila ni lola. Binitawan ko ang braso ng matanda nang tumabi muna sila sa gilid.

"Nakita mo na si Gen?" Tanong niya nang nakangisi. "Nasa harap sila kanina ng lolo niya kaya sigurado akong nakita mo siya," She answered her own question,

But she's right, though.

"Huh?" Tumawa ako ng bahagya. Acting like I didn't care.

She rolled her eyes like she knew that it was just an act. Or she did really knew.

"Sus," Aniya nang nang-aasar. "Nasan na ba 'yon?" She looked around.

Marami pang tao sa loob ng simbahan dahil marami ring nagkakamustahan tulad nila lola at tita Cynthia. Kaya sigurado akong hindi niya siya mahahanap. Maybe, they also leave already.

I also looked around but I felt nervous when I found him in front. Nasa harapan pa sila dahil kausap pa ng lolo niya ang father na nagmimisa kanina.

He looks serious while listening and talking to them. Didn't know na marami pa lang nakatingin sa kanya.

Yes, marami. Isa na 'ko doon.

"Ayun pala siya sa harap, eh." Bea explained. His smiles are wide when it fades for whatever reason. "Kaya lang, mukhang may kausap."

I smirked. Buti na lang.

"Umuwi na pala si Paciano?" I heard my Lola asked.

Napatingin tuloy ako sa kanya. She was also looking in front while raising her brow.
