"SHARE THE GOSPEL"

Chapter 23: Throwback Pa More!

†††††

After that night..

The next morning, I talk to my parents about my plan. Of course ayaw nilang pumayag. They said that they can't afford to see their other daughter suffering. Pero syempre pinush ko pa rin.

I explain to them why I came out to that decision. I told them that I can't stand anymore seeing my sister crying all day, all night. They seem surprise when I said that. Well, they didn't saw it themselves, that's why.

I keep on bragging them about it until they give up. Sa wakas pinayagan din nila ako. I assure them that I will be alright, so there's nothing to worry about. Well, I can handle myself, although I know that it will be hard for me to adjust but everytime I think about my sister I become motivated. I'll do this for my sister.

I can overcome this.

"Bunso! Totoo nga, may donor na! Ang galing!"

"Sabi ko naman kasi sayo Ate eh. Prayer is all we need Ate Zyrene. Di ba may sagot Siya kaagad."

Tumango naman si Ate. Nakangiti na siya ngayon. Buti naman. Akala ko hindi ko na ulit makikitang ngumiti si Ate eh. Akala ko lagi na lang siyang iiyak. Thank GOD, for bringing back the joy in the eyes of my sister. Hindi man siya makakita pero makikita pa rin naman ang feelings niya sa mga mata niya.

"I don't know that He will response immediately to my prayer. GOD is really merciful. He truly love us."

"Of course Ate. He's the best!" sabay thumbs up.

"Salamat bunso ah.. For introducing Him to me. Salamat talaga. Now I can say that I'm personally experiencing His love and protection."

"You should not say thank you to me Ate. You should thank Him. He is the reason why all this thing happen. It is all according to His plan. So, Ate, mag-ready ka na.. Bukas, ma-o-operahan ka na. Magpahinga ka na Ate. I'll just go outside. Need fresh air."

"Sure.. Good night bunso.. GOD bless."

"Good night din Ate Zyrene. Rest now.. GOD bless you too, Ate."

Lumabas ako sa kwarto nito at sinara ang pinto. Dumeretso ako sa may pool at nilublob ko ang paa ko sa tubig.

Kumusta na kaya sila Zeria? Ang lupet ko kasi eh, nawala yung cellphone ko kakamadali makapunta dito noong nakaraang taon pa. Baka isinusumpa na ako ng mga yun dahil umalis ako ng walang sinasabing dahilan. Hayae na nga lang! Mag-e-explain na lang ako, once na nakabalik na ako..

Pero, kailan pa kaya?

Mahihintay pa kaya nila ako?

This is it!

"Sure ka na ba talaga, anak sa gagawin mo? Are you really sure, Aria Zelaine?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni Dad. Kahit naman si Mommy ay nag-aalala din. Alam kong hindi pa nila gaanong tanggap ang naging desisyon ko pero maiintindihan din nila once na makita na nila ang magiging outcome nito.

Ngumiti ako sa kanila. "Yes Dad.. I will did this, without hesitation. Don't worry I'm fine. At isa pa po para kay Ate Zyrene naman 'to kaya walang dapat pagsisihan since worth it naman po ang gagawin ko."

"Anak, are you sure you can handle being blind? You know, it will also take time for us to find an eye donor for you, anak."

"I can handle myself Mom. And you are there to guide me. Besides GOD will be my cane. He won't let me down, He won't let me be in trouble especially He will always be my guide if you're not around, Mom and Dad. Kayang-kaya ko po ito. With GOD by my side I can do all things."
