At tuluyan na lumisan ang don patungo sa parking area exclusively for the chairman.
Sa kabilang dako...
Binabaybay Ng isang mustang na sasakyan pagkapasok sa main gate Ng Villa Ricablanca ang Mahabang pathway patungo sa mansion Ng mga Ricablanca sakay nito ang kalalabas pa lang na si Gio mula sa Seminaryo. Tanaw nito mula sa bintana Ng sasakyan ang parang mga taong aligaga sa paghahanda sa isang okasyon.
"Anong meron mang Ramon? May okasyon ba sa mansion? Nagtatakang tanong ni Gio na nasa likod Ng sasakyan.
Napangiti ang driver at sabay sulyap sa anak Ng amo.
"Naghanda po señorito ang mama nyo Ng konteng salo salo dahil laLabas na kayo Ng seminaryo" nakangiti pa ring tugon ni Mang Ramon.
"Ang mama talaga" napabuntung hininga at maikling tugon Ng binata, kilala Niya ang mama nya,ang maikling salo salo na sinasabi ni mang Ramon ay kayang magpakain Ng buong barangay.
At tuluyan Ng pumarada ang sasakyan sa harap ng mansion. Agad bumaba Ng sasakyan ang binata at tinungo ang ina na noon ay naka Tayo sa labas Ng main door na abot tenga ang ngiti.
"Ma," at yumakap ang kalalabas pa lang sa sasakyan na si Gio.
"Hijo" ,nangingilid ang luhang yakap Ng nasasabik na ina, madalas man nya ito madalaw sa seminaryo sa loob ng siyam na taon pero mabibilang sa daliri na makausap Niya ito doon ng personal, dahil kung hindi busy ito sa pag aaral Ng theology ay nasa outreach activity ito.
"Yaya celia?" Sabay baling sa medyo may edad na babae na katabi Ng kayang ina sa pagkakatayo.
"Welcome back anak," naiiyak na yakap ni Aling Celia, nasabik siya sa napakabait na alaga na itinuring na nyan anak mula Ng nanilbihan siya sa mga Ricablanca.
"Have you been well hijo? Si doña Esmeralda. Tiningnan nya mula ulo hangang paa ang anak

"He is on his way home now, may inayós lang sa opisina ang papa mo iho, oh heto na pala ang papa mo eh" Ng makitang papasok ang sasakyan nito papalapit sa harap ng mansion.
"Pa,! Agad na nagyakap ang ama pagkalapit nito sa anak.
"I miss you iho, and welcome back" nangingilid ang luha nitong sambit sa anak.
"Miss you too Pa, kayo dalawa ni mama" sabay tingin sa ina.
"Anong meron ma"? tanong ni Gio,kahit alam na nito kung Bakit may magarbong handaan sa mansion.
"Bakit masama ba maghanda,dahil magiging pari na ang anak ko? Ganting tanong Ng ina.
"Alam mo Naman ang mama mo,oh halika na at nag aantay na mga bisita mo iho," sagot Ng ama kay Gio.
"Ma, isang taon pa bago ako maging ganap na pari" sagot ni Gio at inakbayan ang ina at ama habang naglalakad patungo sa gilid Ng pool kung saan nag aantay ang mga bisita.
"Malapit na yun anak, ganun din un, sigurado Naman ako anak na maoordinahan ka at magiging full pledge priest" huminto sa paglakad si doña Esmeralda at humarap sa anak, hinaplos Ng ina ang pisngi Ng anak at naluluhang sinabing.." I promised to HIM anak na magiging pari ka..
Alam ni Gio ibig sabihin Ng ina, ipinangako Ng ina sa Diyos na makaligtas lang siya sa aksidenteng iyon ay pagpapariin nya ang anak upang makapaglingkod sa KANYA.
Hindi na umimik si Gio at pinagpatuloy na Ng mag ina ang mahinang pag lakad.
"Remember father Carmelo anak? Muling tanong Ng ina.
"Yes ma, pano ko Naman nakakalimutan si Father Carmelo eh siya ang parish priest sa bayan kung saan ako nag sakristan ng apat na taon noong nasa Junior high ako" sagot ni Gio sa ina.
May sasabihin pa sana ang ina Ng isang tinig ang tumawag Ng pansin sa mag ina, papalapit sa Kanila mula sa grupo ng mga bisita ang isang medyo may edad Ng lalaki na mahuhulaan mong isang alagad Ng simbahan base sa suot nito.
"Gio,iho! Tawag sa pangalan ng binata habang nakangiti papalapit sa Kanilang mag ina.
"Father Carmelo? Masayang bati ni Gio sa pari Ng makalapit na ito at agad nitong inabot ang paladng pari nagmano dito.
"Purihin ang Panginoon Gio, sa wakas ay malapit ka ng maging ganap na alagad ni Kristo" masayang bati Ng pari sa binata at tinapik ito sa balikat.
Sobra itong natutuwa sa dating sakristan at sa wakas ay magiging ganap na itong pari.
"Salamat po father,"bahagya itong yumuko bilang pagbibigay galang sa dating paring pinagsilbihan nya noong nagsasakristan pa siya sa kanilang bayan.
"Higit kailanman, ngaun ka maging matatag, marami ang tinawag ngunit iilan ang hinirang" makahulagang turan Ng pari,at alam ni Gio ang ibig sabihin Ng mabait na pari.
"Tatandaan ko po father ang inyong payo at naway patnubayan ako ng Panginoon upang marating ko ang pagiging isang ganap na alagad ni Kristo para sa kanyang sambahayan" turan ni Gio at sabay tingin sa ina at ama na Kita ang labis na katuwaan sa mata Ng ina..
"Gio anak isa ng cardinal sa Cebu si Father Carmelo inimbita ko siya upang personal na magpasalamat dahil sa tulong nya mula noong nag sakristan ka hanggang pumasok sa seminaryo." Sabat Ng ina.
"Congratulations po father"
"Let's go father, anak halika na maupo na Tayo"
At sabay sabay na sila naupo sa bakanteng table.
Pinangunahan ni father Carmelo ang dasal bago ang salo salo na naka focus sa pasasalamat dahil sa mga sandaling iyon, sa malaonn at madali ay isa na namang nilalang ang nakatakdang maging instruments Ng Panginoon upang magbahagi mabuting balita at Ng mga salita Ng Diyos.
"Panginoon patatagin mo pa lalo ang pananampalataya at malabanan ang tukso na kakaharapin ni Gio bago ito maging ganap na pari" ayon sa huling panalangin Ng pari bago umpisahan ang salo salo.
Nagpahid Ng luha si Donya Esmeralda na akbay akbay ni Don Nicolas na nangingilid din ang luha Ng mga oras na yun.
