Love Never Ends [Watty Awards 2012]

Chapter 3: What's With The Question

Chapter 3: What's with the question?

By December of the same year…

Those feelings were still of confusing. There are the greetings with those smiles and still I let it be.

Since Christmas is almost around the corner, they young people had a plan to have a skit. We were chosen to have the role for the same scene that will happen.

The complaints of the people in their lives we will show up and until one person comes asking them all to come to Him, which who will play as Jesus Christ and that we will not obey Him first and snob him until we realize that He died on the cross for He was sent by God to save us for God loves us so dearly.

The first part was entering by a couple whose love has grown cold, the wife, coming home from  the work, saw her husband in the couch being a couch potato watching television while all were messed up around him and he was just eating and from there they had a quarrel and the scene will stop

The second part was that a group of friends come up together to do their own thing, with vices and all until they all caught up in a fight and there the scene will stop

The third scene was us, about a lady being broken hearted and was getting tired of her life and most especially wanting to meet the man for her already and she will meet Blake

Here is the dialogue and how this scene will flow:

I was walking and complaining about my life, broken hearted, getting tired and getting old.

*Sigh* I saw my friends have their happy lives with their love ones, I just broke up with my boyfriend again, I wonder when I will have my right time, I’m getting tired of this relationship ups and downs. I want to give up already looking for my right guy."

As I was walking along sadly, I tripped down and there he saw me.

"Oh! I'm so sorry miss let me help you."

He helped me get up by offering his hand and I took it so that I could stand up

"Are you alright?" he asked me

While I was still fixing myself I replied “Yes I am fine thank you very much" Then I smirked

"I am really sorry" he kept on apologizing to me and I just replied that it’s alright and that he should not worry about it.

Suddenly, he just asked my name.

"Miss, can I ask for your name?

"It's Joy" I replied

"Hi Joy, I am Blake nice to meet you,"

While he was still introducing himself, he was still holding my hand then we let go feeling like both of us were blushing at the same time feeling embarrassed of what happened.

"Where are you going anyway?" Blake asked

"I am on my way home it's just nearby about three blocks away"

"Can I walk with you on your way home, in exchange of letting you trip down?" he asked me courteously.

I smiled and I just agree, "Alright."

While the practice was still on going, every time he held my hand, I felt it trembling, nervously trembling and so is his voice and his smiles meant something. I smiled and from there I asked him.

“Hey, Blake!” I laughed and continued “Why are your hands trembling? Are you nervous?” I just smiled

“No! It’s actually you whose hands are trembling.” He replied to me defensively, and then we both just smiled and laughed about it.

From there we continued on with the skit and practiced for about three times and had a lot of takes per part since we were all laughing about it.

My best friend, Jessica, saw us practicing the skit and she was on butterfly mode and kept on laughing. She teased me over and over again and told her it's really nothing and that it’s just a play.

Then she asked this random question and just said it out from her mouth "Hey Joy, what if Blake did tell you that he likes you and is going to court you? Are you going to let him express his love for you?"

What in the world is that kind of question?!  She knew the whole time I had a boyfriend that I am committed to. Anyway, I just laughed not thinking of anything and just replied to her "Hey, let’s see what will happen, we never know what might happen" 

I just thought to myself, remind me again why I answered like that? It’s actually letting him if that happens, anyway, I just thought, it’s only a question. 

The skit that we were practicing for the season was cancelled for the reason that some people lack practice. Too bad for the both of us. Every time we're practicing the skit, everyone's been still teasing us and is on butterfly mode every time they think about it.

Christmas and New Year already passed, after some time; someone will come and visit the church to preach. It was the spiritual father of our Senior Pastor and so are my parents. I invited my close friend, Ana to attend the bible study and while we were on the way to church I mentioned her special ministry of the church which were the visually impaired and she was greatly amazed.

I also mentioned to her about Blake's different and unique ways of greeting me and being a gentleman to me and she was excited to meet him.

 The moment we arrived I introduced her to them and there I saw in her eyes the amazement during the service how she saw them, singing, playing the instrument and have their testimonies how they live like normal sighted people. I saw her appreciation the way I appreciate them a lot; she had photos taken with the team

As soon as she saw Blake and checks him out, she asked me this random question "Hey, Joy what if Blake does like you?" 

I thought again about it, what is it with these people and those questions? Why do they have to ask me about those certain topics?

I just breathed deeply, smiled and replied “Actually Ana, I don’t know, we’ll just see on what will happen. But I accept them for who they are then it also means, I already know what to do and the rest God will help me.”

By evening, I was in bed and I was thinking. Those answers way back last December and now, what if it did happen?

What if Blake does like me?

Will I really accept him for who he is?

Will I be able to contain it?

I remember the time when my father did asked the same question that what if, someone not physically or not completely able would really court me and he was the one for me?

What if it did happen?

What if it was true?

I prayed and just meditated until I decided to myself, those answers are meant for something. I will accept whoever God has given me or who God will give to me, even if it includes physically incapable. I will still accept him for who he is.

I was still restless those times, but I had to let myself sleep. Good night.
