Our gazes was anchored to Rhoe as she spoke, dismayed of the news she had disclosed. Hay, sayang naman. Gusto ko sana talaga silang makasama.
"Ngayon na daw ba talaga sila aalis?" Tanong ni Grace.
Rhoe nodded, "Oo daw eh, ako nalang hinihintay nila." Napabuntong-hininga siya. "Sorry ha, bawi nalang ako next time, okay?"
Magsasalita pa sana si Grace pero nagsimula nang maglakad palayo si Rhoe, "Ba-bye na, ingat kayo!" She waved towards us and began to run.
"B-bye," Sambit ni Grace, her gaze upon Rhoe as she slowly disappeared into the dark streets.
I tapped her shoulder, "Tara na?"
Tumango siya at naglakad, following behind us as I walked beside Gabriel. I couldn't help but glance up at him as we talked, still somehow shocked of how much he had seemed to change. Totoo, kahit noon naman talaga guwapo na siya, pero ngayon? Not only was it something physical, it seemed as though, his very being glowed with peace - and I couldn't process how that could've taken place in just a few months na tulad ng kwento ni Grace.
Ibinaba ko ang tingin nang makapasok kami sa Burger Place, my gaze now in search of a seat as the warm air welcomed us.
"Do'n tayo?" Alok ko, pointing to the table beside the large window.
"Sige," Tumango si Gabriel.
"Punta na kayo do'n at mag-order lang ako,"
The two nodded once more and walked towards the table, conversing as they did so. I turned towards the counter and ordered, and as soon as I was able to take the food, I walked towards the table as well.
"Woah," Grace remarked, eyeing the food-filled tray I placed on the table, "Angdami naman nito Sis! Pwede na 'tong dinner ah,"
I could only smile as I heard her words. "Eh di maganda, para mabusog tayo. Namiss ko ang school na 'to eh, at masaya ako na sa pagbalik ko, kayo ang mga naging kaibigan ko."
I saw her smile as I spoke, nodding as she did so, "Wow naman," She chuckled, "The same goes for us Sis. Nga pala," She looked at me intently as I sat beside her, "If you don't mind me asking, bakit ka nga pala nagtransfer noon?"
"Ah," I took in a breath, shutting my eyes momentarily as I felt a lump of pain up my throat, "Mahabang kuwento eh. Gabriel?" I gazed at him.
"Hmm?"
"Mind praying for the food first? Baka lumamig 'tong pagkain pag nagkwento na ko't 'di pa natin 'to nasimulan."
"Oh," He chuckled, "Sige, let's pray." He bowed his head and shut his eyes. Grace did so too, but as much as I tried, I couldn't. My gaze remained on him, fascinated of what I was seeing. A few seconds ticked by, and I too shut my eyes.
"Thank you for this food, Lord. I pray that you would bless it as we eat, and that you would bless the life of the one who've provided it too. In Jesus Name,"
