Pangarap ng Simbahan

Chapter 16

Jenice Claire's POV

On the same day, well, it's still daddy's 4th death anniversary and the sun was about to set, we plan to have a simple dinner at home while remembering daddy's loss

I invited Fretche and Jade to come over since they were the only friends i have and maybe to talk something for a while after dinner

"Jenice, anak, papunta na ba ang mga kaibigan mo?", Jeff asked me with that 'anak' word again and it surely made me a little angry, tinawag mo na akong Jenice and that's enough, huwag mo nang dagdagan ng anak

"Just call me Jenice" i said without looking at him, i was still staring at the window, sitting in the sofa while waiting for them to come

"They're not here yet", i calmly said to him still looking at the window

My peripheral view in my eyes sees Jeff wearing a brown jean, with a belt inserted with his white shirt combined with that apron i see a thousand times and that slippers he wears inside the house

He was standing away from me, but near enough to hear my voice

"Sige, Jenice, sabihin mo lang ha kapag dumating na sila, para sabay-sabay na tayong kumain", he spoke to me in such a calm yet exciting way, whatever,

I was still looking at the windows, the day coming to an end with a cloudy weather, good thing it didn't rain, I didn't respond to him anyways as he walks away in silence going to the Kitchen to finish what he's cooking

The house looks so big yet only a few people live here, that Jeff at the kitchen cooking, mom at the room to finish something, yaya Esterlina, she sometimes sleeps here since we have headquarters for helpers

Manong driver sleeps here too, and there goes me, so, there are only 5 people living in this house and it's actually not a problem since the place is very quiet and I don't believe in monsters and scary ghost and Pedro...

Crap!

Bakit pumasok na naman yung stupid sakristan sa isipan ko? I think it's not a good time, for sure yung unexpected meet up namin sa cemetery would be the last of the last

Ayoko nang makita ang pagmumukha niya with his jokes and all, I'm done with him so let's not talk about it anymore

It was getting dark when i see two people, one boy--or should i say gay-- and one girl, i think the girls have arrived, so i stood up from the sofa and opened the door and yes it was them, i see them from the gate

Just a few steps from the door, well it was a bit far, i can see Fretche wearing an overall blue dress while Jade wearing gray shirt and slacks, they're dressed so formally for a special occassion i anticipated every year and they never fail to amaze me

"Jenice girl, we're here!", Fretche says with a smile, waving her hand

"Nandito na kami girl, pwede mo bang buksan yung gate?", Jade asked as if wala siyang ginawang masama sakin, yung pambubully nila? Well, nevermind,

Ijust left that thought go away from my mind, i took a step from the door and was walking para pagbuksan sila ng gate, oh look, nandito na ang mga bestfriends ko in the house

"Okay so how are you guys?", I asked them regarding dun sa mga reasons kung bakit busy sila and was not there para samahan akong mag breakfast sa karinderya one day ago,

"My tito and tita are officially married!", Fretche said with overwhelming joy and happiness

"Good for you", sabi ko and i took a look at her and stare at Jade, this girl kumusta na kaya tong gay na to, "and you?"
