SILKS OF FAITH

Prologue

This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, events and incidents are all product of my imagination. Any resemblance in others are purely coincidence

Beware: Errors ahead

Bea Gwyneth Tecson is a woman who seeks for love and attention that her parents didn't give her ever since.

She was broke, so broke inside that nobody can fix her.

She screams for a help but no one seems to notice.

She is a rebellious daughter.

But in her journey through Surigao del Sur, she is slowly having the love and attention she seeks a long time ago.

Joining in the Agsam Youth Catholic is a blessing for her that God never leave her side. She is called and chosen. Indeed the almighty have his own plan. She was in the verge of giving up but then suddenly she was thrown up in SurSur and be one of ACY.

At last someone notice her help, someone notice her grieving.

And someone pull her out from oblivion.

But is he really gonna fix her or he is the one that will drag her again from the darkness. Drag her from the darkness that she will never be pulled again to see the lights.

"I need you. I need you in my life.  Please Jeverson. Don't..." I am kneeling in front of a man whom I called my savior.

"Don't leave me please." Nakaluhod ako, ang mukha kong basang basa at puno ng luha ay nasa paa niya.

"Tama na yan Gwyneth." He said, with his gritted teeth he pull me up. Sa sobrang hina na ng katawan ko ay nahila niya agad ako patayo.

"Listen to me huh ." He cupped my face. I look into his eyes. Namumuo na ang luha sa kanyang mga mata.

"I'm sorry. But I have no choice but to do this. Kailangan kong umalis, wala na din akong balak bumalik." He said. Parang sinaksak ang puso ko sa sinabi niya.

"Sasama ako sayo." I said desperately. I don't know if there is still a life that awaits for me if ever mawawala siya sa buhay ko.

"Ano ba Gwen! Don't make this hard for us!" Napahagulhol ako sa pagtaas ng boses niya.

"If I just know that you'll depend your life on me sana hindi nalang ako lumapit.." he said, and at that moment I know gumuho na ang mundo ko.

"Nagsisi ka ba na naging tayo?" I ask. Naninikip ang dibdib ko.

"Walang tayo Gwen! At oo nagsisisi ako na lumapit ako sayo! Look at yourself, you rely your happiness in others.  Can't you be happy alone?!" Mga salita niyang sumampal sa akin.

Right. He's right. I always rely on someone else. Kailanman hindi ako nakontento na maging masaya kahit ako lang. It feels like I need someone on my side.

I'm afraid and tired to be alone.

"Stand on your own Gwyneth." He said at agad na umalis. Humagulhol lang ako.

Sa gitna ng kakahuyan, tanging hinagpis ko lang ang naririnig.

This place is used to be my safe haven. Dito ko inamin sa sarili at dito ko narealize na mahal ko siya.

This place is the witness how happy I was when I'm with Jeverson.

This place is a witness of our love in the woods

But now....

It's different.

This place is a witness of my downfall

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will you counsel you with my eye upon you.
-Psalm 32:8

Maybe this is what God has planned. I secretly wipe my cheeks. 3 years had passed but still it happened just like yesterday. The pain is still the same.

This is the first installment of  Youth Series. Hope you will support this too! God bless to us all!
