Chapter 1: Decisions, Decisions
Joey in dream mode…
Joey was talking to Mai about some important stuff and some not so important stuff in his room. When they were in the topic concerning about their love for each other, Mai suddenly said, "I'm sorry but I'm engaged to someone else but my love to you is still strong. Don't you worry! I'll come back after two years."
"Two years? That long?" Joey commented.
Mai sighed and her body begun to vanish.
"Don't leave me Mai! I…I…." Joey said hesitantly.
The dream ended and Joey woke up, breathing quickly. He touched his forehead and told himself, "How long has it been since I was away?"
Joey then placed both of his hands on his chest and took a deep sigh.
"I wish you were here to hear this, Mai. I love you all my heart, body and soul and I will never forget you," Joey told himself again.
Joey closed his eyes thinking that he would dream about his girlfriend again but to no avail, Father Amaro entered his room. Joey was alarmed that he sat down on his bed.
Father Amaro has a thin body. He has a wavy, jet-black hair and he had a slightly tanned skin. He looks a little like Toby McGuire but his eyes are golden.
Father Amaro sat beside Joey and bowed his head in a serious manner.
"What is it Brother Joey? Are you dreaming about your girlfriend again?" the priest asked gently while his head is bowed down.
Joey scratched his head and said, "Yes, father, I have been dreaming and I still love my girlfriend but two things seems to destroy my love for her."
"Tell me all about it, Brother. I'm curious," the priest said with interest.
"Okay, the first thing is that she is engaged to someone else. I don't know who but I don't care. What I want to know is that why did my girlfriend ditch me like that? I and my girlfriend had a good relationship for four years already! Four years!" Joey explained while making all those odd hand gestures for each word he says and the priest was listening intently, making all those uhums and alrights in between Joey's statements. "The second thing is that I want to be a priest but the problem here is that I can't marry my girlfriend!"
The priest stood up, patted his hand on Joey's head and said, "You know what my boy? The decision is really up to you. If you want to be a priest, then be a priest and serve God, but, if you want to marry your girlfriend, then go ahead and marry her! I'm not stopping you or anything. Remember, you can do anything you want in this world, but you shouldn't sin. Oh, and one more thing, Joey, if you made up your mind of becoming a priest, tell me tomorrow, or, if you want to look for your girlfriend and marry her, then I would allow you to go find your girlfriend, wherever she is..."
After that, the Father Amaro left the room and Joey sat on his bed, reflecting on what the priest said. He didn't feel like sleeping anymore and continued reflecting for eight hours.
The next day, Joey finished on his reflection. He then stood up, changed his clothes and quickly raced downstairs to greet and tell Father Amaro his decision. Joey went to the kitchen but it wasn't Father Amaro, but Fr. Franchesco.
Father Franchesco had blond hair and was a little stout. He is also the brother of Fr. Amaro and he was the most favorable priest for Joey because when he teaches the word of God, he is not the boring type of priest, he's the kind of priest who speaks clearly, not too slow, not too fast. Sometimes, he talks in a grumpy tone that Joey gets frightened.
"Umm, excuse me Father Franchesco, have you seen Fr. Amaro?" Joey asked the priest in an urgent tone.
The priest replied in a grumpy tone, "He's in the chapel, praying!"
Joey was frightened by the voice of Fr. Franchesco and ran out of the kitchen and raced to the chapel, excited on what he would say to the priest.
After a few minutes, Joey arrived at the chapel and saw the priest, kneeling down on the puse and praying. The priest knew that Joey was there and he quickly ended his prayer. He stood up and looked at Joey with his golden eyes and asked him, "So, have you made up your mind, Joey?"
Joey felt insecure but because of his love for God, he didn't want to let the priest down. Joey then prostrated before the priest, clutching the robes of the priest and said, "Father! I've made up my mind... I want to be a priest!"
The priest was delighted on Joey's decision and said, "Joey, are you sure this is your final decision? Or, do you want to change it?"
"Well... That's my final decision! I won't change it!" Joey replied as if he doesn't know what he's doing.
The priest placed his hands on Joey's head and smiled and Joey let go of the priest's robes.
"I'll start training you as a priest, tomorrow. Now, don't worry, Joey, it'll take you two years before you become a full pledged priest, understand?" The priest said with his hands on the head of Joey.
"Yes, Father" Joey replied.
...But this is the biggest mistake Joey has ever committed. You'll see in my next chapter. Please R&R.
