Faith, Hope and Love

Chapter 7

"Faith gives you the inner strength and a sense of balance and perspective in life."

Because for Julia, Faith gives her that inner strength and sense of balance in life since Faith came into her life. Kahit na sa hindi inaasahang pagkakataon, biglang dumating si Faith sa buhay nila ni William, at parehong hindi pa handa sa buhay na naka-abang. But instead of taking the negative sides of their lives, Julia did the right thing, they did the right thing. To keep Faith and made her an inspiration to move forward with that faith and strength, balance and perspective in life.

"Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there's no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic."

Julia lost her hope when she wasn't able to reach her biggest dream in life when she had Faith. But the universe is not done yet for her. The above gives her hope when she had Hope. She holds on to that hope and Hope gives her light along the way. Lalo na 'nong pinasok ni William ang politika at nagsimula ang mga hindi pagkaka-unawan bilang mag-asawa. Hope gives her power to stand still and firm.

"Love isn't something natural. Rather it requires discipline, concentration, patience, faith, and the overcoming of narcissism. It isn't a feeling, it is a practice and commitment.

Aligaga ang tatlo sa paghahanda para sa mga magulang. It's been months simula 'nong bumalik si William sa bahay nila. Katulad ng dati, bumalik ang buhay na nakasanayan nilang tatlo 'nong mga bata pa sila. Ang uuwi sila sa bahay na kompleto ang pamilya. Uuwi silang alam nilang may mga magulang na hihintayin at maghihintay sa kanila. They're able to eat together, bond together and have vacation together as whole family, like the old times.

"Hoppy, tawagan mo na si Daddy. Pauwi na daw si Mama." Faith told Hope.

"Love, where's the flowers? Kunin mo na dali!" She then told Love.

It's their parents wedding anniversary at kinuntsaba nilang tatlo si William para isurpresa si Julia. Because as far as they can remember, madalang nalang nilang sine-celebrate ang anniversary nila simula 'nong umalis sila ng bansa. Kaya naisip ng tatlo na gawin 'to para sa mga magulang.

"Hindi sumasagot si Daddy." Hope uttered.

"Sa office nya, subukan mong tawagan sa office." Faith told Hope which the sister did.

"Lovellia ang flowers! Ang bagal naman!" Faith scream.

"Ito na!" Love replied.

"Ilagay mo na don. Ayusin mo! Pag 'yan talaga nasira, sinasabi ko sayo." Faith said. Love hisses.

"Manang! Paki-serve nalang po agad ang mga pagkain, please po!" Faith told their helper.

"Ate wala talaga. Ikaw nalang, subukan mong tawagan si Daddy baka sumagot sayo." Hope said and sighed. Faith heaves a sigh and get her phone, she then dialed William's number.

"Daddy pick up." She utters, she even put her hand into her waist.

"Manang, sino po 'yung babae sa labas ng gate? Kanina pa ho siya nandyan tas naka-tingin po dito." Hope asked as she looks outside their gate.
