Chapter 42
The Anklet
"Merry Christmas!" The boys shouted as I opened the bottle of champagne.
Everyone has their smiles plastered on their faces, the smell of roast chicken and wines and the smell of wet leaves as it is a rainy Christmas Eve gives us the happy vibe for celebrating tonight's occasion.
"Let's eat!" Sigaw ni Kiner ng nasa harapan na kami ng napakahabang mesa at sa harapan namin ay maraming pagkain ang nakahain.
"Woooh!" Sigawan nila at nagkaniya kaniya ng upo. Kinuha ko ang wine glass ko at slicing knife at pinatunog ang baso.
Lumingon ang lahat at tumahimik ng marinig ang tunog ng glass sa metal na hawak ko, "Not so fast, boys. We should pray first." Anunsiyo ko.
"Sure, Señora." Sagot ni Sandro habang umirap ang katabi niyang Luke.
"Mamaya na 'yan!" Suway ni Andres at pinalo ang kamay ni Kiner na inaabot ang hotdog sa harap niya.
"Nagugutom na'ko eh." Bulong nito.
"Magdadasal pa nga." Sagot ni Andres.
"Huh? Sure ka? Baka magliyab ka bigla." Sagot ni Kiner.
"Ano?! Gago!" Sigaw ni Andres.
"Enough of you two." Suway ni Zak sa dalawang bruho na nagtatalo.
"Sorry boss." Hingi ng tawad ni Andres.
"Nag-aalala lang talaga ako kay Andres boss eh." Palusot pa ni Kiner.
"'Di na 'yan masusunog, Kiner. Sunog na talaga 'yan eh." Gatong ni Matt sa gilid nila.
"Pfft, oo nga 'no?" At nag-apir sila Kiner at Matt.
"Mga gago!" Binatukan ni Andres ang dalawa. Umirap ako at yumuko bago pumikit.
"Let's bow our heads and feel the presence of the Lord." Wika ko.
"Lord, thank you for tonight and for gathering us here in this hall." Panimula ko na sinundan naman ng lahat.
"Thank you for giving us delicious food and a shelter."
"Thank you for giving us an opportunity to celebrate your holy day."
