"Wow, that is amazing profession you have... Oh, and well, m...y." He stops in mid sentence.
Something fell and glass shattered all over the living room.
"What happened?" Both me and Brother Ely asked.
"I was just looking at this photo and I dropped it, Ma'am. So sorry."
"Oh no, did you just dropped my lover?" I awkwardly laughed.
"Lover?" They both asked.
They both looked me like I did something surreal.
"So what's your lover's name, Ma'am?" Mr. Jimenez asked.
"You don't know him? How could you?" I said in a disappointed tone.
"It's Robert Downey Jr., duh." I added and raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, Tony Stark." Brother Ely chuckled.
"Yes, thank you Brother." Me raising my thumb up.
"Did you know that we are friends?" He mumbled.
"How can you be friend with RDJ?" Are you kidding me Brother?" Crossing my arms.
"No, not at all. I am telling you the truth." He chuckled.
As we finished cleaning the broken glass, we took our meals.
"So how old are you Mr.?" Brother Ely asked.
"Ross. And I am 17 Brother Ely."
"So I see that you are Ms. Kath's student? How is she as your instructor?"
"Ah, hello, I am here. Please don't ask things like those."
"Oh, sorry Ms. Kath, but really, how is she as an instructor Mr. Ross? Hahaha." He laughed like a kid.
"No bias, but she's one of the best. Ma'am, I am not telling you this for me to be your favorite or what, but just telling the truth." He ensured.
"Oh, thank you Mr. Jimenez."
"See, you need a little compliment. You looked so stressed." Brother Ely winked.
"So Brother Ely, how old are you?" Ross asked.
"How old do you think I am?"
"Ahmmm, 40?" I asked.
"What? Hahaha. I am already 55 years old. Thank you though for the compliment." He looked at me and smirked.
Ely's P.O.V.
As we were finishing our food, Mr. Ross's phone rung...
"Excuse me, but I need to answer this. It is my cousin." Ross said.
"No problem." I said.
"So is it really RDJ your favorite actor?" Brother Ely questioned.
"Yep, he is, how come you are friends with him?" And why are you here, I mean in the Philippines and why aren't you a priest yet?"
Should I tell her the truth? Well, I don't lie. But I suppose I can tell her not all my story.
"Excuse me, but I have to go now. My cousin is at the apartment now."
"Okay, no worries." I assured him.
"Thank you so much Ma'am for the dinner! Bye Ma'am and Brother Ely." He waved goodbye.
As he left, Ms. Kath returned and sat.
"You see, I have a son who is a priest here in the Philippines. And my wife died 4 years ago and that made me miserable, which made me ask God what will be my life without her. Like I carried all the pain in the world. Then one day, He gave me a sign through my dream, that was 3 years ago that He wanted me to become a priest like my son, Father Will. And next year I will be ordained as a priest."
"And I know you are wondering about my age, how can they accept me. Well, I've searched about it and honestly, I too was amazed. As long as you're a widow, they will allow you even though you have a child." I added with a sad eyes.
She came towards me and hugged me. Hugged me! Is this even real? I can feel her heart beat! Well, I hugged her back, tightly.
As we broke our hug, our eyes met! Our intimate eye contact says it all. I can see her soul in her eyes. As we face each other, faces just inches away from one another, I looked down to her soft lips... I just wanna...
