Pangarap ng Simbahan

Chapter 29

Jenice Claire's POV

"Honey, hindi ka ba nasaktan sa nangyari sayo kanina?", Mom asks me, nasa bahay na ako ngayon, sa sala kausap si mommy at Jeff, "I'm okay mom", habang ginagamot ang pasa ko, maliit lang naman yon na sugat and it will be gone on the next few days

"I think it's time na magstay ka dito sa bahay, wag ka munang lumabas", mom suddenly made a decision na hindi na naman ako sinabihan

"Mom! Ang boring naman dito sa bahay", i said in a respectful way, ayokong manatili dito sa bahay magmumumkha akong kriminal na bilanggo, and siguro nobody expected na mangyayari yun sakin

It was the first time na naholdap ako, for how many years of going out with my friends, it never happened to me before, and this place of ours is safe and peaceful naman, walang riots, walang mga stupid teenager na nag-ra rumble sa streets at night na akala nila maangas at cool yun

Walang mga criminal na nagtatago dito and even drugs, as in zero crime rate yung lugar namin, and sana mahuli na yong mga stupid holdapper bago sila makabiktima na naman ng iba

"Atleast, stay here, ang daming nangyari for the past few days, first naglayas ka, and now na holdap ka naman", she explained in sequential order but still it can't be the reason para pigilan ako sa paglabas

Going outside and bond with friends has become my safe haven, nakakawala ng problems especially kung comfortable ako sa lugar like the beach

"Hayaan mo na siyang lumabas", Jeff comforted as he defends me, "Minsan lang yan sila magiging bata, kaya hayaan mo na", he also comforts mom to convince her na huwag na akong pigilan

Mom looks at him before i responded, "Jeff's right mom", and she suddenly looks at me mysteriously as if nagtatanong kung ano bang kinain ko para kampihan ko siya, it was just a normal conversation, but still, cold pa rin ang treatment ko kay Jeff, no hugs, no i love you's, just a conversation with respect

It went silent for a few moments before she replied, "Okay", she started and she suddenly made up her mind, "Pwede kang lumabas, only if you ask permission to us and know your limitations", she advised which i smiled so happily same as Jeff kahit na hindi ko pa siya tanggap

Nagpaalam na ako kay mommy na magsisimba na kami bukas--kahit hindi ako naniniwala sa Diyos at alam nila yun-- with my friends, Jade and Fretche, after that ay mag-di-dinner sa bahay nila Pedro and lahat ng iyon ay lusot na lusot!

Pinayagan parin ako kahit naglayas na ako at naholdap nung nakaraang araw, ang sarap sa pakiramdam na nagtitiwala talaga sila sayo at hinahayaan ka lang nilang lumabas

Pero my phone and shoulder bag! Muntik ko nang malimutan na hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin nahahanap ng mga pulis, after nilang malaman na naholdap ako

They quickly called the police para ipabanap yung mga gamit ko, and syempre yung mga holdappers! My phone was an iPhone 11 Pro Max with an ivory colored phone case, my bag was an expensive shoulder bag with a brown floral design and my money on the pocket was about five thousand pesos!

Kaya alam nyo na kung bakit nagmamatigas pa akong i ibigay yon sa kanila, those items are so expensive! Pinaghirapan yon ni mom! Buti nalang at may extra phone si mom na pwede kong gamitin

Habang hindi pa nakikita ang phone ko or makikita pa ba talaga ulit yung phone ko at shoulder bag? Hindi ko mapigilang maisipan yun na baka talaga ay hindi na mahuli yung mga holdapper ko at yung mga gamit ko

I felt afraid, what am i gonna do?

I just used mom's extra phone here in my room, kahit na naholdap ako and lost my things, my scheduled dinner time with Pedro at their house is still gonna happen no matter what, even though we have no communication, we'll meet ourselves at the church tomorrow
