Chapter 5: Meet Miss Bible Girl

LUKE’S POV

Tsss, I don’t even know that my sister’s friend is that bible girl from the other day. Tsss, and mukhang parehas pa ata sila ng kapatid ko? Tsss CRAP that bible thing! That’s a waste.

“kuya mag-order n aka, treat ko, naka-order na kami ni ate Chimmie ikaw lang hindi pa.” my sister said. Tsss, why they’re enjoying that church stuff huh? Nakakarindi, wala na akong ibang naririnig sa kanila kundi

‘kamusta yung church sa manila?’

‘kamusta youth night?’

‘alam mo enjoy talaga mag youth gathering’

Grrrrr…. I’m really irritated, tsssm ayoko namang umalis at pabayaan ang kapatid ko ditto. Tsss. The heck I care to that church thing! CRAP that Damn Church activities! tsssk

“I want Ramen” I just mumbled.

“oh parehas pala kayo ni Ate Chimmie eh” my sister exclaimed.

“tssss, add kimchi side dishes”

“oo parehas din, hehehe… well uh can you give us another order of ramen and kimchi” she said in the waitress. Tsssk.

Alam niyo bang naiirita ako sa babaeng kaharap ko ngayon? Tssss, yeah, the bible girl.  Kanina pa yan nakatitig sa akin, tsss, alam kong gwapo ako, pero nakakairita. Tsssk.

“don’t stare me like that lady” I said in a cold tone habang naka-angat yung binabasa kong magazine tapat ng mukha ko, but only half.

Ngumisi naman siya. tsss. She’s like my sister. So childish.

“kuya alam mo ba? para kang artista, pramis!”  compliment niya with her sweet smile. Tsss, I don’t care about the compliment.

“Tsss” I just said

And I heard my sister chuckling. What’s her problem? Geez.

“alam mo kuya! Natitiyak ko magkakasundo kayo ni ate Chimmie” she mumbled. Tsss, wala akong balak makipagkasundo. Tsss.

“Uhm tsaka nga pala kuya, ah eh… maganda ba yang binabasa mo?” the bible girl ask me, tssk, such a waste.

“you don’t care” sabi ko lang.

And I hear her giggles.

What’s funny?

“kuya, tinatanong kita, maganda ba ang magbasa ng ganyan?” she asked me, tssk, nakangisi naman siya.

“It’s better to read this than to that CRAP Bi-oh never mind” saka ko binalik yung tingin ko, I mean yung mata ko, but I was surprised when I put my sight on my magazine WTH!

Baligtad pala yung magazine ko.

Ahhhgrrrrr CRAP!!!!!

“CRAP!” I said, saka ko sinara yung magazine na kanina ko pa tinititigan, kahit hindi ko naman talaga tinititigan.

Napainom nalang ako ng tubing na nakalagay sa table ko.

“Ok ka lang kuya?” tanong naman nung Bible freak.

“hmmm, sabi ko lang” dinukot ko naman yung phone ko para maglaro nalang ng Clash of Clans.

“ganito ba talaga ang kuya mo Lian, ang cold?” bulong naman ni Bible freak sa kapatid ko, tsss, bubulong na nga maririnig pa, Dahek lang.

Napahagikgik naman si Lian. Tss.

“Ah yeah, ganyan lang yan, don’t worry may tinatagong kabaitan din yan sa kung saang sulok ng ingrone niya.” Bulong niya, tsss.

“Kuya Luke, magchurch ka din minsan, sige na” pamimilit niya sa akin? Close ba kami? And da-HELL? CHURCH? Tsss.

Hindi nalang ako sumagot.

“Kuya Ang mean mo, napaka mo talaga” wika ng kapatid kong nag-pout pa. tsss, is she trying to fool me that way makapunta lang sa church? Tsss.

“stop pouting you’re not cute” I said coldly.

“ang bad mo talaga, mag-CHURCH ka nga!” Tss.

Nakita kong may dinukot si Bible Freak sa bag niya, tss,

May inilabas naman siyang book na blue, ewan ko kung ano yun wallet ata yun na mejo malaki.

“Kuya, you know what, Jesus Loves You” Pshhh. The hell I care.

“Tss” I exclaimed. Then she opened her, tsssk, so bible pala yung blue thing nay un.

“John 3:16 says Fo----“ hindi ko na pinatapos yung sasabihin niya dahil tinuloy ko na. tssk, gasgas na yang verse na yan!

“for God so love the world that He give His only begotten son, that who so ever believes in Him shall not perish but have an everlasting life” I said. And I don’t believe in Him, no God, No everlasting life, because kung meron man, hindi dapat mamamatay si mom. Tss, damn Bible! Damn God! He’s not true!

Nakita ko naman na nagulat ata si Bible girl kaya mejo napatingin sa akin at nanlaki ang mata.

“Kuya memorize mo pala,… and that’s good” ngumiti naman ‘to. Tssk.

“but you know what kuya, love ka ni God, kahit hindi mo man siya pansinin, naghihintay pa rin siya. kung gusto mong malaman ‘yung about sa John 3:16 na mas malalim at mas-madugo, Sumama ka sa amin bukas, mag-chuchurch tayo” ani naman nung Bible freak. Tssk, I don’t even care? God? Loves me? Tssk, kalokohan!

Hindi ko nalang pinansin ang pagdadada niya about bible thingy and God thing, tsssk, nakakairita na siya, tssk.

“CR lang ako” sabi ko, tumayo na ako kasi hindi ko gusto ang ganitong atmosphere, puro nalang God! God! Church! Church! CRAP!

Pumasok na ako sa CR, ewan ko pero naiinis talaga ako.

Humarap ako sa salamin, nakatingin lang ako sa sarili ko.

“Don’t Fool the world, No God! There’s no God! God never exist! God is Dead!” I exclaimed, napahilamos nalang ako, kasi sa tuwing naririnig ko ang salitang God, It reminds me of my mom.

And I hate it!

Si mom, noong nabubuhay pa siya, she always told me na, I’ll die serving God.

‘If I die, I die believing in God’

‘If I die, I die living with God’

She always said that, and now she’s dead, she died living with God? Serving God? Believing in God? The Heck! She died because of believing that there is a way from God na makukumpleto kami ulit, at yung believe nay un, nauwi sa ganito.

Naghilamos nalang ako, at lumabas na rin ako matapos.

Nadatnan ko silang dalawang nagtatawanan.

Why are they Happy? It’s Unfair!
