We were in the peak of mt. hinonggan, I couldn’t believe that we make it. We were able to climb our target spot for almost all day of hiking. It was around 8:30 in the evening. The other club members were shouting out of joy. All the boys set up the tent. And us, the girls. We set up our dinner. After our yummy dinner, we seated on the big stones, 10 meters away from our tent. It really had a very relaxing ambience there. We watched the stars that night, some of the club members around me shouted to the skies to throw them signs for their hopes and unanswered questions as I lay there silently. I was hypnotized. I could hear my friend’s shouting God’s name and thanking him. Their answers were those falling stars I marveled at. As were brandtoot, the german shepered of kuya brandy suddenly went crazy barking as a coconut fell from a tree. With this, a friend gave laugh and start screaming. “ alryt! Alryt! Alryt!”
I lay there still and quiet. I didn’t ask God for a sign. I never believed in those nor fate. Nor destiny. I lay there listening at the chatter of my now hopeful friends. Then the noise died down. “finally,” I thought. My friends seemed happy in their silence. They were probably praying and thanking God for the “signs” he had given them. If I asked God for a sign right there and then, and HE didn’t gave me one, that would be “NO” from Him and a huge disappointment for me, wouldn’t it? Still, I decided to give it a shot.
Whether or not a star would fall from the sky, the dim lights behind us would still go off, the dog howls or the wind blows will inexplicably reach my toes seven yards always, it didn’t matter. I wou8ldnt care. I stared at the sky and silently asked God, “ show me the sign that I will fall deeply in love with someone by the time im 18 and all the heartaches that I am feeling now will vanished .” I kept staring at the sky. I was waiting for a star to fall, a bird to pass by and drop something on me, a rain drop or a ufo maybe. I listened intently for a falling coconut or a dog’s whimper. All I heard was the sound of the wind. I turned my attention to my body. It would even itched because of a mosquito bite, id be hypocrite. As I desperately looked for God’s answer, hoping he would say “yes” to me, everything around me still remained calm and silent. He had said “No” to me. I closed my eyes to fight back my tears of disappointment.
Signs aren’t real. We make them u just to give ourselves hoe and reasons to be optimistic. Signs are just flukes of nature. Signs are only for those say happily-ever-after movies. Juwky lying beside me quickly sat up. The other gasped. I heard janna go “ wooow” I opened my eyes and asked juwky what was wrong. “ you missed it! Two shooting stars collided together and disappeared by the dark sky” he answered. Was that my sign? I felt cold. God heard me after all. God had answered me. I got my sign and it was beautiful. I just had to close my eyes and wait for it to happen.
