Chapter Fourteen [ The repercussion]

Nancy is overjoyed to give her adored mother warm kisses and hugs before carrying out her command two hours after she and Jason return from their surveillance.

As Jason passed in front of her, he never failed to do the same to alleviate her loneliness. Nancy is overjoyed with what Jason has shown her family, particularly her recently widowed mother.

When the couple leaves the hallway where funeral services are situated, Kuya Raffy abruptly stands up and moves the chair closer to his mother, hugs her warmly, expressing his deepest sympathy, but his mommy appears cold to his pretentious love because his arrogant wife and bratty daughter always gaze at her slyly and doesn't treat her nicely since the first time, they arrived to met her in the hacienda residence.

"Your wife and daughter are nothing compared to Jason and the rest of the family's friends here, Raffy, my son. But because you are dear to me and my firstborn child, I wholeheartedly accepted and appreciated their presence here while your father's body remained in the casket” Mommy said adding ridiculously,

"I don't like to take over your position as head of your family, but I've been fed up with your insistence on marrying your sister to your best friend, who squandered our savings during his administration in our hacienda” Mommy Laura continuously blurted,

"Your father knows everything after the declaration of emancipation for all tenants, and the money was missing half a million dollars in the bank after he vanished without a trace. His administration's corrupt system had already failed.” As she pleads with her eldest son,

"Please never give him another chance to run our hacienda. You should return to your duty and bring your wife and daughter with you. Raffy, I don't want them interfering with Nancy's management from now on. Do you hear what I'm saying?”

Mommy Laura expresses her disappointment openly as Raffy pretends to understand everything she says while grinning and making agitated gestures to Redante, who is enjoying the company of two middle-aged maiden escorts playing cards and drinking expensive wines on the last table behind the doorways.

 As Mommy Laura added,

" Nancy and Jason have a mutual relationship, and he has been there for us, helping and supporting us. Nancy owes her life to him because, on the first night of the Christmas Eve celebration and the announcement of her appointment as a new administrator, pirates and terrorists attack farmers disguised as members of the rebellious farmers' group infesting the mountainous terrain. Mommy continues again,

"They violently retaliated to Nancys'defense, replenishing attack and suppressed their rebellious characters by using non-deadly weapons but they just humiliated her and treated her as inexperienced, powerless, ruler of our hacienda,” Mommy added disgustedly,

“Jason emerges quickly from the distant forest where he used to stay, stationing his monitoring devices and cutting off the battles. Nancy and Jason have since become the best battleship and war partners, and they have formed a friendship. “As Mommy is thankful expresses, her speculations is,

 “No doubt, someday they will stay together here to manage our properties and help the poor improve their standard of living. However, she must first manage her studies and earn a law degree in order to be able to execute the justice system, renovate damages, modify the existing, corrupt systems, and amended new policies for these people's better, more productive, and progressing community life. “

Raffy became interested in what Mommy Laura said and agreed with a nod.

"That will be a great idea if she can impose that new amendment for productivity, peace, and orderliness using the law enforcement policy, Mommy. “He says adding,

“But I advised not to be so tenacious that abuses of power and rights are diminished."

Raffy stated that he had previously had difficulty managing those people. And he would rather join the Navy to avoid the heavy responsibilities and burdens imposed by farmers who are hard-headed and slow learners.

"Raffy, my son, they are not slow learners or stubborn. They became that way because of the unfair, unjust, and corrupt system of those officers you elected before you left."

Mommy clarifies further, to the point of a heated argument.

The representative and his two haughty maiden escorts appeared out of nowhere to greet Mommy Laura.

"Condolence, Tita Laura," Redentor says as the two maiden escorts follow him, grinning arrogantly in front of others who are watching and standing by.

It is already 4 o'clock in the afternoon when Jason and Nancy return to the hall area after a long rest, meal, and cleaning themselves in the restroom.

"My child, you look better now. “

Mommy Laura exclaims joyfully to Nancy as she receives hugs and kisses from her adored, sweet baby. She turns to Jason, who is holding Nancy's hands, and says,

"I never realized how stunning and physically attractive you are with your burial outfit. You stand very tall and very energetic and enthusiastic. How are you, Jason? ” Mommy Laura noticed him while wearing all black long sleeves and long pants with sandals. He also applies hair gels to his half-shoulder long, wavy, brown hair, as well as a bit of facial cream, which Nancy enjoys applying on him to show how proud she is of her first boyfriend and hero.

" I'm feeling fantastic, Dona Laura. By the way, please accept my heartfelt condolences for your husband, Don Fausto."

Jason bowed slightly as Dona Laura accepted it before turning back to Nancy.

" Why don't you wear that black dress I bought you, my baby? " Mommy Laura continues,

"I wanted everyone to see how beautiful you are."

Mommy Laura stated as she notices Captain Redante's two conceited, arrogant escorts sneering at her secretly as they grin and taunt looking at her from head to toe demonstrating humiliation to the way she dresses -up and acts as a tough guy before them.

Raffy's haughty wife and brattish daughter stare at her from head to toe, lips pursed. Raffy notices his daughter and says,

"Hey, my lovely child, stop taunting my lovely sister and be nice. You are not better than her."

Raffy turns to his haughty wife and says,

"Claudia, please teach your daughter to be disciplined and stop being a brat. She is not a good example to others. Otherwise, I will return you to your rightful place as slum dwellers."Raffy turns to his haughty wife and says,

"Claudia, please teach your daughter to be disciplined and stop being a brat. She is not a good example to others. Otherwise, I will return you to your rightful place as slum dwellers."

Raffy reminds his wife and daughter that it is not a secret in Nancy's eyes.

"Kuya Raffy, your wife is stunning, and your daughter is completely modern. I've seen such young girls in university, and I enjoy watching them."

As Nancy smiles and makes friends with her niece and sister -in law, Raffy just seriously gazes at her.

"That is why, you also look completely modern in the way you dress, but my daughter looks so simple in her black miniskirts and blouse."

Raffy inquires, his gaze fixed on Nancy's tired eyes.

"Her attitudes and behavior are on the rise, and everyone must adjust to her. "Nancy says with a smile. Kuya Raffy quickly interrupted to express his displeasure.

"I will never approve of such an attitude. Do you know that humiliating others is against God's commandment? " Raffy expresses his displeasure with the way his daughter treated Nancy.

"You're right, Kuya Raffy. But she will find out sooner or later. It is a maturation process, and if we force her. She may become twisted and distorted. “

Nancy declares as Jason and Mommy Laura agree, the two decide to grab their pouch and step away from them with hostility. They choose to sit on the opposite side of the row, concentrating on their gadgets.

Nancy and Mommy Laura concentrated on their last topic, Nancy's outfit. Nancy insisted, saying,

"Jason has already approved my tight-fitted shorts and my black-fitted midrib blouse, Mommy. I want you to be happy the way I am and accept me where I used to be because I am comfortable being like this."

 Nancy further insisted as she check her two swollen reddish feet and slowly put her toes inside her loose, soft bed slippers, veiling her two jinky, swollen, reddish, weary, and teary eyes with smoke eyeglasses, putting together her long-waisted straight hair in a bun at the head top appearing her tough, sexy, athletically young lady appeared in her early twenties without any cosmetics applied but her white, smooth rosy skin obviously seen her original, mixed Asian beauty.

"How do you see me now, Mommy, Kuya Raffy? “Nancy likes to tease her mother and brother while Jason already approves of her outfit since they are inside the house.

"Um, not too bad. Nancy, my dear sister, you still look young and brazen. Perhaps I should teach you more martial arts as self-defense against opponents, as well as how to trigger and shoot the bullet precisely to its pinpoint. Is it correct that you are 5 feet 9 inches tall but skinny?”

After giving his unimpressive approval to the way she dressed for their father's funeral services, Kuya Raffy speculates.

" Exactly, Kuya Raffy, as I am taller than you. Jason is 6 feet and 2 inches tall, but I am not bratty; rather, I am self-disciplined; otherwise, mommy and daddy will not allow me to be elected as the new administrator here.” Nancy says adding,

"But you don't need to teach me such martial arts because Jason is already with me to properly train me in the exact ways and means to apply military operations and tactics because he has been working in an international CIA for 5 years. “Nancy added,

"He accompanied me on training missions, mountain climbing, forest terrain living, and working against the most unwanted people."

Nancy is overjoyed to introduce Jason to her overprotective, intruding eldest brother, who used to look at her with disgust.

After many hours that day, the dusky surroundings began to emerge as cool, freezing howling strong wind makes everyone quiver and hurriedly search for their own thick cloth coverings.

Mommy Laura looks at Nancy, who appears to be oblivious to the howling wind kissing her white exposed skin.

"My baby, get your jacket now. I'm not going to let you freeze and crouch against Jason."

She exclaims as Json checks on her tauntingly interrupted.

"Stop complaining and do what your mother told you,"

"My honey," Jason said warmly, whispering into her ears, making her sparkles eyes smile but veil beneath her smoke glass.

He slowly speaks in a low, barely audible voice of love and sweetness. But the couple is still unable to show their love and care for each other in front of others, but it is no secret to Mr.Apeng, Mommy Laura, and Don Fausto, who is already dead in his casket.

That night will be Don Fausto's final night with his family, and Jason's 30th birthday is quickly over, but there is still an unannounced engagement pending.

That night, Nancy's Born-again Christian Pastor came to the family and held a Christian service. Everyone assisted Nancy and Mommy Laura in recognizing the living soul of Don Fausto, who heartily accepted Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior.

Nancy is overjoyed, despite the fact that she can still accept and acknowledge her failures as a result of her previous soul ties outside of marriages with her first boyfriend, who is still willing to marry her inside the church.

As the Church Pastor deepens the Bible Christian message taken from the book of Psalm chapter 90 verses 1- 17, the message brings gladness and new hope to all attendees present in the funeral services.

” Jesus Christ is the only way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father God in heaven except through Him.”.

As most of them agree to say,

” amen,”

 They follow the pastors' prayer of acceptance with confession of sins as prompted by the spirit of repentance and deliverance against the power of darkness.

Raffy's wife and daughter, as well as Captain Redante Rocafuerte's two arrogant escorts, were touched by the Holy Spirit that evening and decided to accept Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

Jason and Mommy Laura, as well as Nancy and the rest of the people, agree as they all pray for the salvation of their souls and the souls of departed loved ones such as Don Fausto.

But Raffy and Redante remain stone-hearted because they intend to ruin Nancy and Jason's lives sooner or later, as the spirit of darkness enters them, making them cunningly deceive the people for their hypocrisy and hidden wicked schemes and plans against the people of God.

They spend the entire night inside the funeral services of Don Fausto's corpse, with all the farmers, distant relatives, friends, visitors, and even Nancy's friends in the mountainous terrain expressing sympathy and condolences to Don Fausto's mourning family.

Nancy and Jason stay with Mommy Laura throughout the period, whereas Raffy must frequently attend to his wife and daughters' needs because they are not used to dealing with his people and family.

Captain Redante Rocafuerte, on the other hand, persuaded his two maiden escorts to secretly plot a scheme against the family the entire time as they served as guards and ushers at the main gate entrance. Jason frequently checks the entire area with his binoculars and occasionally sneaks out to the terrace where he can clearly see everything going on around him, including their conversation.

 Being an international CIA for Nancy, as she reveals to her family, should be kept private, and Raffy is well aware of the consequences if he attacks Nancy's boyfriend.

The entire funeral service that night for the disease Don Fausto Coronel is over. The dark shadows of sadness and the sudden howling of the cool wind seem to sweep the life of people living turning to dust as mortals compared to the place for the dead.

Even thousands of years are like a day in our eyes or a watch in the night. Yet the Creator sweeps people away in the sleep of death, consumed and terrified by indignation and people's secret sins set before the Almighty.

The day ends with a moan, the loneliness uttered by the loved ones left behind by the passing away of the old generations like a dry and withered land that evening, and is replaced by the young, new generations that spring up like new grass in the morning.

The entire night of dark shadows vanished as the dawn broke with the gleams of new morning sunlight where the dead must bring each destiny turning flesh into dust. Nancy is crying and groaning in pain as she mourns.

"Stop now, my child," says Mommy Laura, adding,

"All our days pass away under God’s wrath, but God satisfies us with His unfailing love and promises. he teaches us to number our days so our hearts gain wisdom. He will make us glad as time passes by displaying His splendors in deeds, and his favors will rest on us. Remember that God is our home and our destiny, even though we are only passing through this world. Your father is already at rest in the glory of God; you should begin now to establish the work of your hands, as He will undoubtedly favor us if we say that God is our refuge and fortress."

Mommy Laura gives Nancy her final statement of faith so that she will not suffer as much when her loved ones have passed away as the evening in the dark. No one dares to cry on the day of Don Faustus' interment, hoping that light will always triumph over darkness.

The entire day has been set aside for everyone to rest as everyone has requested to stay inside the hacienda for the evening gatherings, and further announcements and new developments planned by the new administration led by Nancy Coronel will be revealed soon.

After lunch, Nancy and Jason began preparing for the evening gatherings, which will be held within 7 days after the internment for the peace of the departed loved ones. Nancy manages to prepare the stages where the speaker will deliver the announcement a few hours later.

"Mommy, who will be our speaker?”

Nancy wonders,

" We'll find out when the hours come. Be prepared, my baby; I pray that you remain calm, steadfast, and firm in your conviction. When difficulties arise, remember that God is always by your side”. "Mommy Laura reminded again.

The twilight zone has arrived. All lights are turned on and sounds can be heard throughout the area as Nancy wears her stunning black gown with Jason by her side at all times. As the pair emerges from the corridor, Mommy smiles.

 The announcement comes quickly after many revelations and discoveries of their previous surveillance, the secret hidden in darkness is revealed, and the wicked outburst denied it all, shouting, yelling, and feeling disgusted as trouble quickly arises.

"That's all a lie. Your findings are false. Please wait for additional evidence to be presented by the new administrator. Mam Nancy has all the proof. “
