..no one should be left behind..

The tempting yearning to unleash after a subtle day brought my fingers back to this tenement. Though I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning because of a dream, I was able to made it through the day. And because I want to pamper myself, I decided to go on shopping. With me was my co-worker Ate Bles. I urged her to come with me for she will be on rest day after today. Because I am the "bunso", I was cheerfully given the warm hands to have a companion on a windy night. Overwhelmed by the seemingly scarcity of my independence and the chance to go "unleashed", I ask my ate if I can go somewhere to buy stuffs for my dearest sis after sometime of her accompanying to my whereabouts. One hour is the allotted time for us to complete the "this-is-only-a-one-hour-shopping-whether-you-like-it-or-not". To make the story short, I traveled my way; my own way leaving my Ate. I arrived to where we were to commence but I couldn't find where she was. Worst is that I left my phone back home. And now there I was inside the bus, peeping from every person coming out from the exit hoping that it resembles her at any way. My hands now gripped together, the tracing of my heartbeat if put on an ECG machine would turn out chaotic. The driver started the engine and she is nowhere to be found. I have to repeat my words that there were still two nurses inside the mall.  My tears were on the brink of giving in. "No one should be left behind". I earnestly prayed, fixing my eyes on the magnified half moon casting its shadows as if saying it's about slumber time. The gate swung open, I recognized the girl holding a phone against her ear. She's my Ate Bles!

I almost have to hug her when she came in. She didn't noticed I was right in her front while she was saying my name on the other line. She must have been looking for me all the while. And she cannot leave the mall with me behind.

I encircled my arms around her skinny arm, making sure that she has to be with me back to where she decided to give her time accompanying me. I just realized that no matter how hard life is sometimes, God always make it to the point to reach me out so that not a single of His sheep would stray around. That no one should be left behind. Be it in the form of the windy night, the magnified half-moon, or the skinny Ate Bles who would not leave her "bunso". I always have love around. God just spent time with me tonight. And oh, I never thought He could get shopaholic at times=)
