When SKY meets LAND

#WSML23* She's Missing *

LAND's POV

"Good morning lolo!" bati ko kay Lolo na kasalukuyang nakaupo sa rocking chair nya habang nagbabasa ng dyaryo. By the way it's Sunday, actually hinihintay lang ako ni Lolo na bumaba para magsimba. Hahaha!!

"Can we go, grandson!?" he asked.

"Yes!" I answered.

Sumakay na kami sa kotse. Ako sa tabi ng driver umupo, para iwas dakdak ni Lolo. Tapos ng magsimula ng umandar yung car nilagay ko yung earphone sa tenga ko at nagpatugtog ng kung anumang kanta ang tumugtog.

Mabilis ang byahe. Nakarating kami sa simbahan five minutes bago magsimula ang mass. Bumaba na kami ni Lolo sa kotse tapos si Kuya Simon naman pinarada yung car. Pumasok na kami ni Lolo sa simbahan tapos naghanap ng pwedeng maupuan. Sakto meron agad kaming nakita. Umupo kami ni Lolo at naghintay sa pagsisimula ng misa.

After a while the bell rang, as the sign that the mass will start. Everybody rise.  And as I stand, a girl wearing a pale colored dress caught my attention. Nakilala ko agad sya kahit napakalayo nya sa kinauupuan namin. Siguro anim na upuan pa ang layo nila sa amin mula sa harapan. Si Sky yung babaeng tinutukoy ko. Kasama nya yung Tita nya.

Something makes me smile about and that is to see her okay. Galing ko talaga mag-alaga. Walang katumbas, sabi nga nila pagpinuno mo ng pagmamahal ang isang gawain tiyak magtatagumpay ka. The best talaga ko!!

"Hoy apo!! San gumagala yang mga mata mo? Aba nagsisimula na ang misa!" bulas ni Lolo. Hay! Talaga naman oh, istorbo pero ayos lang kasi pwede naman mamaya na lang pagmasdan ang magandang babae kasi nga nasa simbahan dapat iset aside muna yung mga ganung bagay, dapat prioritize muna si God, makinig sa misa at magpasalamat sa mga biyayang pinagkaloob nya. Syempre kasama na rin yung wish na sana sagutin ako ni Sky, na ako yung piliin nya kaysa dun kay Juno.

Ganun nga yung ginawa ko. I focussed myself to the mass. And when the time that we will say the term 'peace be with you' to the others, there's something like a magnet attracts my eyes and Sky's eyes to cross each other. Our both eyes meet to each other and there something sparkle, like stars around her face that make her beauty shine the most. The only word I said was "Hi."

And she followed with a gesture in her mouth "Hello!" and a little bit wave of her hand. Oh God!! She's indeed, she's very beautiful. But this scene was interrupted by my grandfather and her auntie, saying that we need to go in front of the altar to take the bread of life. Oh!! How fancy it is?

As the mass end up, Lolo decided to go first to the car but I choose to stay for a meanwhile and hurriedly walk towards to the place where I lastly saw Sky and Auntie Marta but they are gone. But I don't stop in finding them until I saw them in the front of the image of Our Lady of Perpetual Help handling lighted candles. I run towards them.

"Hi!" I said as I reached their position.

"Hello!" Sky replied with a big curve in her red lips.

"Mano po!!" As a sign of respect to Auntie Marta.

"Do you feel alright?!" I questioned.

"Yes!!" She answered. Actually I know the answer, the truth is I don't have any words to say. I was mentally unconditioned, senseless and that is all because of her alluring beauty. I said beauty because that's true. No man can't fall inlove in this woman in front of me. She's the one I want to marry.

"Sir tawag na po kayo ng Lolo nyo!" epal ni Kuya Simon. Hay!! He was a disturbance of a fine and definitely beautiful scene.

"Okay!" I said. "Goodbye Sky!" I wave my hands as I passed to her position.
