Storm Child, Made from Stars

Chapter 2

"Ready kana ba?"

"Oo eto na, wait lang naman." Nag mamadali kong inayos ang gamit ko. Papunta kaming CCF Main, magsisimba.

"Oh my gosh. You're so slow. What if I didn't call eh di hindi ka magigising? Goodness." Reklamo ni Aliana.

Madali kong kinuha ang bag ko at sinuot ang sapatos ko kahit hindi pa nakasintas. Nakakataranta naman tong si Aliana.

"Aist. Masyado namang nag mamadali." Sabay lock ko ng condo ko. Tumakbo na ko papuntang elevator kasi nakita kong nauna na siya.

Pagkabukas ng elevator ay dali-dali ng nag lakad si aliana kung saan siya nag park.

"Sabi ko naman sayo bilisan mo diba? Alam mo namang hindi pwede mag park ng sobrang tagal dito sa Grass Residences. Atsaka, hello? Ortigas pa yung pupuntahan natin." Inis na sabi niya, habang nag dadrive.

"Oo na. Stop nagging me. It's my fault. I'll set an alarm next time." I finished all of my school works last night. Finals na kasi tas graduating pa kami.

"Tinapos ko kasi lahat ng requirements kagabi kaya inumaga na ko bago makatulog," Paliwanag ko. "Tapos mo na ba yung sayo?"

"Oo nung isang linggo pa. Diba nga ang daming events at happenings this week kaya napilitan akong tapusin silang lahat last week." Sabi niya, habang nakafocus parin sa daan.

Inilabas ko nalang ang phone ko at nagpatugtug hanggang makarating kami.

Routine na namin ni Aliana to tuwing Saturday. Saturday kasi ang youth service sa CCF. Sinusundo niya ko sa condo ko kasi mas mabilis kesa mag cocommute ako, in return I just pay for her gas.

Aliana became my closest friend sa school. I remembered during my grade 11 years naiinggit pa ako sa circle of friends niya kasi puro popular yung nandun plus dean listers din. I even thought na mahirap siyang kaibiganin kasi parang ang layo layo at ang taas niya. But during our 2nd semester, Aliana became my groupmate in marketing. At first nahihiya pa ko, but then, unexpectedly, I got to know who she really is. She's funny and very approachable, but most of all she loves God more than any others. Siguro kaya mabilis na gumaan yung loob ko sakanya kasi she's also a Christian.

Soon, I didn't realize that we are getting closer that we even got to the point where we shared our past pains and heartaches to each other. Since then we got super close na napagkakamalan na kaming mag jowa sa school kasi we call each other baby. Before that was my endearment for everybody hanggang sa close friends ko nalang siya ginagamit.

I checked my clocked, 2:58 P.M. Shoot! 2 mins nalang bago mag start ang worship service.

Aliana and I ran as fast as we could para makaabot kami. Pinili namin yung upuan na medyo nasa harap na para madaling makita.
Mas energetic rin kasi yung mga tao na nakaupo sa harap tuwing worship service.

~And I will build my life upon Your love
It is a firm foundation
I will put my trust in You alone
And I will, I will not be shaken

All my life for You, Lord
All my days for You, Lord
You can have it all
You can have it all
You can have it all

And I will build my life upon Your love
It is a firm foundation
I will put my trust in You alone
And I will not be shaken (I will build my life upon)
I will build my life upon Your love
It is a firm foundation
I will put my trust in You alone
And I will not be shaken
I will not be shaken
I will not be shaken~
