==================================

"The house has ten bedrooms upstairs. The master's bedroom is the first door on the left of the spiral staircase. Ang gym at indoor pool ay nandito sa baba. There is a beautiful garden and outside pool at the back aside from the patio at the front," paliwanag ni Jeremy habang nakatayo sila sa malawak na foyer ng bahay.

Iniakyat ng butler na ipinakilalang si Rodie ang mga maleta niya. Sa kusina sila dumaan dahil naroon ang pinto ng garahe. The house was big and intended for a rich person. Hindi niya alam kung saan kumuha ng lakas ng loob si Luke para matahin si Jeremy. She was sure na hindi kumpleto ang mga information nito sa wikipedia.

"Ready na po ang dinner, Sir," sabi ng isang dalagitang katulong na dumungaw mula sa dining area. Natanaw niya ang kandelaria sa gitna.

Nauna siyang maglakad papunta doon. There was a twelve seater mahogany table. It was tall and huge. May mga platera sa gilid na may display na gold and silver plates. Nakahain ang madaming pagkain sa mesa.

Tiningnan niya si Jeremy habang paupo sa silya na hinila nito para sa kanya. "May handaan?" kunot noong tanong niya.

"We are celebrating your homecoming, baby," seryosong sabi nito nang umupo sa kabisera sa kaliwa niya. "They already knew that I am married. And we have to arrange a church wedding very soon."

Tiningnan niya ito. "Puwede namang hindi na."

Umiling si Jeremy. "Hindi puwedeng hindi. Mama should be here anytime to help you. Papupuntahin ko din si Jasmine. You might want to contact your family in Canada and invite them."

Bigla siyang natigilan. Her family should know about her health. Kahit galit pa ang mga ito sa kanya ay dapat na silang mag-usap. Jeremy was looking at her at naghihintay ng sagot niya. "I'll contact them very soon," sabi niya na binaliktad ang nakataob na plato.

Jeremy did the same. Para itong nag-iisip habang kumikilos. "You really need to talk to them about us. About your decision before and about God. And I hope that marrying in our service congregation wouldn't be a hindrance for them to come."

Napatango na lang siya. Ang totoo ay hindi niya alam. Malalaman niya ang stand ng pamilya niya kapag nakausap niya na ang mga ito. It shouldn't be hard. Obedience with God should be easy. The only issue was the culture, which shouldn't be a hindrance. The sad part was, hindi iyon ang stand ng maraming tao. People were always thinking that if they would do something that was not according to the man's law where they grew up then they were disobeying God. That was not the case at all. At hindi niya iyan maaring itanggi dahil iyan din ang paniniwala niya noon. Mas gusto pa ng tao mahirapan makasunod lang sa ritwal kaya sumama sa madaling intindihin at malinaw na doktrina.

People thought that if they wouldn't try harder to be good then they would be bound for hell. When all the while, the only thing that they needed to do was to believe and have faith in Christ. Jesus will sanctify his people upon salvation. Being righteous was the fruit of salvation. It wasn't the reason of salvation. That was hard to understand by the people.

But because of that, it was easy to accept that she would be dying soon. She had an assurance now that she wouldn't spend eternity in hell. Instead, she would be with Jesus in heaven, which was just so amazing and awesome.
