I arrived home at almost 2 in the morning. Everyone was still up -- Monch was preparing for the exams in New Testament; Koko was fixing his iced tea; and Jom was surfing the boobtube. I was a little bit tipsy because i took Tex's offer of wine. I went to check my pigeon hole for any letters and opened the house cellphone for any messages. Then the phone rang, I lifted the handset and I heard a voice I barely could identify who."Pagod-na-pagod na ako," the caller whispered.
Perturbed and a little bit disturbed, I asked, "Sino po kayo?"
"Pagud-na-pagod na ako. Ipagdasal mo naman ako."
"Ha?! Sino po sila?"
"Pagud-na-pagod na ako. Ipagdasal mo naman ako."
"Sige po ipagdarasal ko po kayo. Sino po sila?"
Then, he hang up. I was never able to get to know him. Others say that probably he was just a crank caller but I could never know. I just hope that, if he was serious with his request, he finds what he was begging for -- serenity, rest, inner peace.
Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your selves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light (Mt. 11:28-30).
