God's Way

1 : Are you mad

Exterior : School Library

Kaneko's POV

I've been staring at my plates for a while now , hinihintay kulang ma tapos mag drawing si Oliver. I've been thinking of what that Girl said to me does God really has plans for me? Or does he even exist? Whatever.. It's been days and I haven't seen that Girl again..

"Dude yung phone mo" sabi ni Oliver "isilent mo baka ma pagalitan pa tayo" dagdag niya

I check my phone it was my Dad

*
From Dad : Lunch tayo anak , usap naman tayo anak ,please
*

I'm mad at him for leaving me and my mom but my mom also did cheat on him. I fucking hate my family. I put my phone down

"Who was that ?" Sabi ng Chismosong Oliver  " My dad , he wants lunch with me " sabi ko , he is my cousin he knows my issues in life
"Give him a chance dude , baka naman"

I just realized what that girl said maybe he has plans talaga? Okay then maybe I'll give God a chance to work in my life. So I pick up my phone

*
To Dad : K
*
"Dude ako na mag pass sa mga plates mo mag lunch na kayo ng dad mo" Oliver said while smiling

"Thanks cous" And gave him a fist bump

Exterior : Fast Food restaurant

"Kaneko I remember how you used to love this place , so dito lang tayo, and I also order your favorite meal" sabi ni Dad

"Thank you " sabi ko lang sa kanya

"So kumusta ka na a... Paree dito ka upo" sabi ni Dad , sino bah  kausap nya I look at the direction he was talking. It was his best friend  Uncle Mark. I stood up at nag mano sa kanya.

"Wow Kaneko ang laki mo na, anak"
I hate conversations like this to be honest, so I just gave him a small smile.
"Sa Jordan University ka rin bah, have you meet my daughter yet?" I don't know na may anak pala siya bakit niya sinabi , he also don't have a wife , how does that happen?

"Pa? , Ay hello uncle " Sabi ng babae, tapos nag man sya kay dad.... What the hell it's that girl. "Oii.. Hii " she said while smiling at me

"Magkakilala pala kayo, that's Good , Sienna?"  sabi ni Dad.

"Ahh.. nakita ko lang siya once sa rooftop ng school, di ko po alam na anak mo pala siya uncle"sabi ni Sienna

"Ahh.. ganon bah , sana maging mag kaibigan din kayo tulad samin ng papa mo" sabi naman ni dad. Nag smile lang naman si Sienna medyo naging akward kasi di man kasi kami friends

Kumain nalang kami , tapos si Dad at si Uncle Mark nag uusap ng kung ano ano, akala ko babawi siya...

"Sienna.. right?" Sabi sa babae. "Yeah..pero sorry I forgot your name"
Sabi nya, "oh.. it's Kane.." she suddenly Cut me off " joke lang ikaw si Kaneko diba ? Duhh.. di kita nakalimotan noh? Kasi binigyan kita ng shawarma".. Huh that made me smile , I can see she's kinda like her dad. I can see her dad in her, she has her looks and personality..

"Pa, Malapit na class ko alis na ako pa, babye Uncle" and gave them both a smile and then he look at me "bye"
"Wait lang sasama ako " dagdag ko.

We walk out side the restaurant together..."ahh dipa ako pupunta ng Uni Kaneko..sa Bookstore muna ako" sabi nya. "Okay tara, samahan kita, pero may tanong ako sayo" sabi ko sa kanya habang naglalakad pa punta ng bookstore.

"Ahh..basta wag lang math related" I knew it she has his dad's personality
"Kaneko ang bilis mong maglakad noh, hinayhinay lang ang taas kasi ng legs mo eh" dagdag nya

"Ammm.. dito na tayo oh" oo nga pala she's shorter than me kaya "Sienna..."
Oh maybe it's too personal for her.
We are not that close to ask about her and her dad

"Ahh.. is this question about my papa?" Tanong nya sa akin while looking for something. "How did you know that?" Bat alam nya , what the fuck

" I mean you never seen me before tapos best friends pala tatay natin, syempre may questions ka noh!"sabi nya while looking at me holding a yellow pad

"Si papa at si mama nag hiwalay baby pa ako, tapos college na ako... gusto ko dito mag aral eh.. so here I amm.. tapos na laman ni papa na dito ako sya na nag babayad ng tuition at boarding house ko" kwento niya life story nya..

"Your dad talks about a lot sa church"
Na gulat ako sa sinabi nya " sabi nya gustong gusto ka nya ma ka usap ulit"
Dagdag nya.. I don't know what to say.
"Alam ko anong feeling na yung your longing for someone's presence, so I help him by praying, kaya siguro nag kita tayo that day, wait lang babayaran ko muna ito"...

Is God sending her to help me fix my relationship with my Dad? Why her though pwede naman si Oliver or kung sino, pero bakit si Sienna

"Oii.. okay ka lang? Na tunaw na yung sahig kaka tingin mo" sabi nya , smiling tagala sya eh noh?

"Iniwan kayo ng dad mo? , Bakit hindi ka nagalit sa kanya? , May karapatan ka naman ma galit sa kanya ,ah!?" Na pa taas ang bosses ko too naman kasi may karapatan siyang magalit sa papa niya..

" Hindi na sayang sa Oras , malaki na yung 18 years na wala siya sa life ko, tapos dadagan ko pa ng ilang taon dahil galit ako sa kanya? Wag na sayang ang time" she start walking "ano tala na?"

Nag simula kaming lumakad pa puntang Uni

"And Kaneko, ang alam ko kasi everything gas a purpose , diba yun ang sabi ko sayo?" Sabi ni Sienna

"Ano naman yung purpose ni God , bakit niya hinayaan na iwanan kayo ng papa mo? Alam mo bah , huh?" Sabi ko sa kanya , I want to see how she can prove her point.

"I was able to be who I am today kasi pag hindi niya kami iniwan baka hundi ako ganito ngayon.. and I am happy the way that I am.. Alam ko kasi na mas better  mga plans ni God para sa akin" she looked sincere sya sa sagot nya.

"Paano mo na nalaman na mas better yung plano ni God para sa sayo?" Di ako magpapatalo noh.

"Faith , I have faith in him .He si my God and my Savior, try mo kaya masaya kaya , kahit minsan mahirap, maaamaze ka sa mga surprised ni God" she sounds so happy "pero di naman kita pipilin nasayo yan"

"It's just so hard to believe in those kind of things , Sienna. My dad promised me before na kahit anong mangyari di siya aalis but look at what happened" I hate broken promises  ang sakit kasi eh.

"Pero he's doing he's best naman to earn your love again" she look at me in the eyes kaya na patigil ako sa pag lalakad . "Na saktan kasi papa mo sa ginawa ng mama mo noon, kaya umalis siya, pero bumalik din naman siya diba?" She knows that?

"It's not that easy Sienna , it's easy for you to say that" di nya alam kung gaano ka sakit yung umalis si dad sa amin tapos babalik siya ng ganon ganon lang na parang wala lang lahat?

"Huh, wala ang sinabi na easy lang yunn.. mahirap talaga yan lalo na kapag na saktan kana, can you give your dad a chance ?? Or si God?? Can you trust God sa mga plans niya ?" She said smiling while offering a hand shake

I don't know.. screw it why not diba this better be worth it

I gave her a hand shake

So.. I'm trusting Gid with my life now?

"Yeyy sooo.. church tayo this sunday huh hihintayin kita " she exciting said..
