One Last Raindrop

CHAPTER 8

Linggo ngayon at tulad ng dati ay wala na naman akong magawa. Naisipan kong sumaglit sa Malaysia kaya lang sigurado akong didiwarain na naman ako ng dalawa. Wala na akong magawa rito at kung ano-ano lang ang nasa social media kaya umiiwas na lamang akong gumamit nito.

"Maids!" I shouted after going downstairs and I saw a maid. Agad siyang lumapit sa akin dahil nagpupunas pa siya ng lamesa. "Where's Mom and Dad?"

"Hindi pa po nakauuwi simula nung isang araw, Ma'am." Tumango na lamang ako.

Akmang aalis na siya nang muli ko siyang tawagin. "Where's Migo?"

"Bakit po? Ano po ang kailangan niyo sa kaniya?" The way she asked me sounds like she is one of Migo's tangahanga here in our house. Ang batang daming maids ang crush na crush siya.

"Binabayaran ka ba rito para sagutin ng tanong yung tanong ng amo mo?" I cannot stop raising my brow because I am slowly losing my patience. Ngayon pa na wala akong magawa kaya talagang matatarayan ko silang lahat dito.

"Nasa bahay po sa likod—"

Hindi ko na siya pinatapos pa at agad na akong naglakad papunta sa labas. Nakapang-alis na ako dahil naisipan ko kanina na magpalibot kay Migo. I am wearing a dark blue oversized sweater from Adidas, gray skirt, and white slip on. I made my hairstyle half-bun, agad akong dumeretso papasok sa mga kwarto ng mga helper dito at nakita ko si Migo na lumabas ng kwarto niya.

I think may plans siya; mukhang aalis siya. He is wearing a plain black shirt and maong pants. Ang simple lang ng suot niya pero ang lakas ng dating niya, pero siyempre hindi para sa akin.

"Ma'am Dior?"

"I told you to call me Dior," I said in my cold tone.

"We are in the mansion," he replied and his brows furrowed after looking at what I am wearing. "May pupuntahan ka ba?"

"Wala!" I said and I was about to turn my back when he grabbed my wrist gently and it made me face him.

"Pwede naman kitang ihatid." He smiled. "Saan mo ba balak—"

"I was actually planning to tell you to take me somewhere," I said with my low voice and I looked at him again. "But I think you have plans so I will just go alone na lang."

And again, I was about to leave when he made me face him making me take my step back.

"I will cancel my plans for you, Dior."

I cannot stop staring at him right now. We are here in the church. Nagulat din ako nang dito niya ako dalhin at sa totoo lang, mas nagustuhan ko na rito niya ako dinala. Madalang na lang akong nakapagsisimba dahil hindi naman katulad ng mga magulang ko ang magulang ng iba. They would rather spend their time on earning money than spending time with their daughter. Actually, there are times that they would go to churches, but those times are when they are acting like good people for their image.

Mabilis lang akong natapos magdasal dahil kaunti lang naman ang mga prayer ko. I already got everything so why pray for more?

Pinagmamasdan ko siya habang nakaluhod at nakapikit, mapayapang nagdarasal. He looked more attractive after knowing he is a church type of guy.

Dumilat siya at agad nag-sign of the cross kaya naman agad akong napatingin sa ibang gawi.

"Ang bilis mo namang nakatapos magdasal?" he asked after he sat beside me.

"Wala naman akong masyadong kailangan na ipagdasal, nasa akin na ang lahat."

"Then thank Him for everything you have right now." I looked at him with my brows furrowed. "You see, without Him nothing is possible, Dior. There are lots of things that we should pray for. I pray for your health and happiness."
