/23/ UNDESERVED

We don't deserve any
love from God because
we've hurt Him many times
by sinning against His words.
Yet, Jesus proves that He has
the amazing grace. That even us,
who don't deserve His love, should
still be loved. Not just love but
the perfect love of God.

KHEL'S POV

Mabilis kaming umalis sa Quezon dahil madali naming natapos ang task namin doon. We left Lucban's vicinity as soon as possible so that we could proceed to our next destination.

Malayu-malyo pa ang Laguna. That is why, on the road, we stopped to eat for lunch. Nasa loob kami no'n ng isang barangay at napagdesisyunan naming ihinto ang van sa tapat ng isang karinderya.

So, yeah, here we are, eating in a cheap food chain along the street.

The 'karinderya' isn't big yet isn't small. It's actually an average size room, with tables and seats for customers, with an old ceiling-fan, and then there's the counter organized with bowls of different dishes. May naga-assist sa counter na isang ale. Mayroon din ibang customers na kumakain dito bukod sa'min.

On our table, bowls of Sinigang and Menudo with rice were served. Magkatabing nakaupo sina Narri at Meera, habang kami ni Brint ay nakaupo sa tapat nila, nakapagitan sa'min ang rectangle na mesa. We're eating delicately. Clanking of spoons and plates were heard.

"Gaano pa kaya kalayo ang San Pablo Laguna mula rito?" tanong ni Narri habang naglalagay ng tubig sa baso mula sa pitchel. "Baka abutin tayo ng dilim. May matutulugan kaya tayo?"

"Oo nga eh. 'Yun rin 'yung concern ko. Baka nga abutin tayo ng dilim," Brint answered. "Baka sa van na naman tayo matulog kung wala tayong murang hotel na mahanap."

Ngumiwi si Narri at uminom ng tubig. I remain silent while finishing my food, then Meera suddenly butts in.

"Ako. May kilala akong pwede nating matuluyan sa San Pablo Laguna," aniya habang nagpupunas ng tissue sa bibig. "Si Larry, nakatira 'yon sa San Pablo eh. Mabait 'yun. For sure hahayaan n'ya tayong mag-stay sa kanila kahit isang gabi lang."

"Larry? Iyung ka-bandmate mo ba na pogi? Hehehe. May crush iyon sa'yo hindi ba?" Tumaas ang kilay ni Narri.

Lumukot ang noo ko. I didn't like what I heard. But I continue scooping my rice like I heard nothing.

"Pogi talaga?" Meera laughed and nods her head. "Pero, oo, siya nga."

But her cousin looked at her with suspicion. "Ay'sus, 'insan! Sigurado bang papayag 'yon na mag-stay tayo sa bahay nila nang isang gabi?"
