Love AGAIN? Ask My Big G

EPISODE 1

LOVE AGAIN? ASK MY BIG G

Episode 1

At the outskirts of the state of this country, on a short green grassy hill sited behind the Redemption Missionary Church, lies Rachav Rai, a young lady in her late twenties. She possesses a care free spirit, angelic face, a warm heart and a cream colored hair.

Rachav Rai is a Novice, at the Redemption Missionary Church and originally an orphan alongside her elder brother, Michael as her only blood related family. Rachav has been raised by the Convent under the fellowship of the LORD ever since she was four and she...

Rachav: (Raises up her head instantly) Wait!

What now Rachav?

Rachav: Is that the Assembly Bell?

It is indeed, the thick but calming rings of the bell from the Monastery Bell Tower makes even nature submit to...

Rachav: (Instantly stands up) Oh no, I'm late for the Evening Prayer!

Rachav Rai without hesitation packs her things but a notebook of hers falls to the ground unknowingly to her. Rachav Rai runs into the Monastery and after wearing her veil, she sneaks to the back of the Temple seats among the sisters and behaves as if nothing has happened. After an hour of prayer, each Nun return to their duties and dear Rachav tries to do the same sneakingly however, her name is called out by Reverend Mother.

Reverend Mother: (Stern) Rachav!

Rachav Rai halts in her place. Reverend Mother's voice echoing beyond the temple makes about three older Reverend Sisters sure of their assumption.

1st Reverend Sister: It seems Rachav was late for prayer again.

2nd Reverend Sister: Oh Rachav.

Reverend Mother: Come with me (she walks out).

Rachav knowing that she is in trouble again, wails within 😭and follows Reverend Mother to her Study. The Reverend Sisters discussing about Rachav start to go on vocal with a forgotten hymn called 'Mission of the Hermit'.

Reverend Mother: A letter from the Missionary Headquarters.

Rachav Rai receives the letter from her and reads it.

Rachav: The Missionary orders me to go for an annual minister?!

Reverend Mother: (Nods).

Rachav: But Reverend Mother, why twice? I haven't even become a nun yet and...

Reverend Mother: The last time you were sent out to the world, it didn't go well. Now that you have been cleansed and more mentally matured, the Convent and the Missionary Headquarters have decided to send you out unto the world. This time is for touching souls, preaching about our LORD Jesus and not bearing the burden of temptations like last time.

Rachav: But I am training to be a nun, not a Mission...

Reverend Mother: (Turns her back at her) Rachav, this is from the Missionary Leader, you cannot defile. {I can finally live sometime without this troublesome girl, hehehe.} I have already informed the Senior Nun of Dormitory G and she has for sure readied you things for you.

RECORD : '{}' is used for inner thoughts.

Rachav: But...

Reverend Mother: (Turns to her) We have established high hopes for you. Do not fail the Convent. (Takes Rachav's hand into hers and pats it). Go spread the GOOD NEWS of the Almighty Father.

Rachav: {Look at her, so happy I am going to leave.} I hear you Reverend Mother.

She walks down the colonnade after leaving Reverend Mother.

Older Reverend Sisters of earlier: (On contralto vocals) When the lamb returns!...

Rachav Rai in a quiet train of thoughts stops and courtesies at them. The Reverend Sisters watch her walk pass the path in short termed silence and then

Reverend Sisters: (Smooth vocals) We, will, tell.

The next day, Rachav Rai arrives on the pasture carrying her suitcase alongside her.

Rachav: Last time I failed. I was a greenhorn, but this time I embark on this journey with my armor.

She stares up at the sky, amidst the tender breeze, she presses down her floppy hat on her head and giggles.

Rachav: (On vocal Mezzo C5) When the lamb returns! I... will tell!!

Birds fly pass Rachav Rai ending the episode.

EPISODE 2

SIMPLE

The episode opens at the railway station whilst a train stops. In the bustling city.

Rachav: (Glancing around) The state has changed a lot in just a few years.

About crossing to the other side of the road, an impatient motorcycle rushes at her.

Motorcyclist: Scram you twig!

Rachav Rai swiftly takes two steps back, she looks at the speeding motorcycle.

Rachav: (Alongside her hand in the air and a grin) LORD bless you my dear brother!!

The struggle of a lady trying to assist her grandma whom had been terrified by the speedy motorcycle attracts the attention of Rachav Rai.

Lady: (At the disappeared motorcyclist) Go tighten your loosened screw!! Big Mommy, are you alright?

Elderly Woman: (Struggles to stand) Stella, I told you not to be laying insults on people.

Lady: It wasn't an insult, it was an advice.

Honks from impatient vehicles commence.

Lady: Please bear with us!

When the lady tries her best to support her grandma, an extra hand joins her.

Rachav: May I be of help?

*. *. *. *. *

Record: '*.' stands for moments later in this story.

Rachav Rai upon entering her apartment, collapses tiredly on the couch.

Rachav: Oof, today was a hammer. Thank you Almighty Father for today. (Through a yawn) I feel sleepy... Wait!

The living room is scanned by the sight of Rachav Rai.

Rachav: I haven't familiarized myself with this place yet. {I just came in to drop my suitcase at noon and hurried off to the church.}

Rachav Rai rises to her heels to inspect the apartment. She steps into the bedroom.

Rachav: {Hmm, quite pleasant}.

She walks up to the closet area.

Rachav: {Although a home can never be completed without (opens the room) a closet 🤩 !}

The lady ties up her hair and wears a nose mask, prepared to do some home setting. An hour to midnight, in the Study of Reverend Mother, a call comes across the old touch tone telephone line, Reverend Mother receives the call.

Reverend Mother: (Stern) I have gotten a break from that fidgety girl, now is it your turn to trouble me? (Caller laughs) She will be an evangelical disciple for the meantime and... (Caller speaks). Working at a care center? (Caller speaks) When is she starting her main job? (Caller speaks) Fine, I'll let her know by tomorrow. (Caller speaks) Mr Priest, I am trusting you on this, do not let harm come near my Rachav or else... (Caller speaks😅 and immediately cuts off.)

The next evening, a team of Evangelists are preaching at a part of the city. They go in little groups of three. Rachav Rai's group preach at the region of bars and restaurants. As directions have it, Rachav Rai being an evangelical disciple needs to observe how the Evangelists are preaching with the fruitage of the Holy Spirit in their hearts and actions. Although the Evangelists are persecuted but they do not give up, few unbelievers are impressed by their pure manner of preaching and tend to give a try into Christianity Life. At a particular time, there is a captivating argument between a lady from the bar and 'romance boyfriend'.

The lady: No, you don't tell me that trash!

Her boyfriend: Clara, I don't need this right now (he tries going his way but he is blocked by Clara).

Clara: Oh, now you don't need me? You cheat on me with my cousin and yet you hecking tell me your poop? You're dung man!!

Her boyfriend: Lower your voice or else...!

Clara: Or else what?! You're least to a rat.

Her boyfriend: (Pissed off) Shut up!!

The bottle in the hand of her boyfriend swings towards the lady however as everyone unexpectedly thought, nothing happens because a male evangelist had held the hand of the aggressive boyfriend.

Evangelist 1: It is a taboo for a man to lay his hand on a woman. I strongly advise to avoid committing something that you will regret.

The boyfriend withdraws his hand in disgust.

The boyfriend: Buzz off preacher. (To Clara) As for you, if you ever step on my nerves again (Smashes the bottle on the road and points at it) You'll become like this shattered glass.

He walks away.

Evangelist 1: (To Clara) Are you alright miss?

Clara: (Regains attention) So what now, you think I cannot be alright?

Evangelist 1: (Stretching his hands to her) Oh, that is not the case... It's...

Clara: (Dusts off his hand with teary eyes) Scram, you all are the same!!

She lives in a hurry.

Evangelist 2: She has been cheated on. Encouraging her won't work at the moment.

Evangelist 1: (Sighs). I know. Moreover, she is very special.

BABYSITTER

EPISODE 3

Rachav: {My group leader sensed that I wasn't comfortable being around that environment. The evangelists are so nice. But I shouldn't have refused the help of the evangelists getting me a taxi. And now I do not know where the taxi stand is. Hm?}

Rachav Rai spots a guy standing by his bike. The tall guy is lost in thoughts with a bottle of alcohol in his hands.

Rachav: Oh excuse me mister, do you know the way to the taxi stand?

The strange guy just stares at her in silent.

Rachav: Um mister, I was asking if you know the way...?

The strange guy stares away.

Rachav: {🤨 He ignored me.} Mister, I...

A friendly guy interrupts.

Friendly Guy: Yo! Do not mind my friend Miss.

He spreads his arm over the shoulders of the strange guy.

Friendly Guy: Just go down this street and you'll reach a taxi stand😊.

Rachav: {Oh yes, I remember now.} (Walking off) May the Most High bless you dear brothers!

Friendly Guy: {She is a Christian.} Ah, you too! (To his friend) You could just have pointed the direction. Imagine I didn't step up, we wouldn't have had a sister now. I wonder what her name is.

Strange Guy: (Brushing of his arm) Run up to her if you wanna know.

Friendly Guy: Eish, paranoid! I hope I meet this 'sister' again, someday.

The next day, Rachav Rai is set for work at the Tower House Child Care Center (THCs). A gentle knock is sounded on the door.

Center Manager: Come in.

Rachael Rai enters.

Rachav: Good day Madame. I am here for the job interview.

Center Manager: What is your name?

Rachav: Rachav Rai.

Center Manager: {Ah, the one sent by the Convent.} No last name, huh?

Rachav: No Madame! But Madame, if I may ask, you are a sister from the Redemption Missionary Church, aren't you?

Center Manager: 😄 I am indeed. Since we know each other, let's drop the formality. Come ,sit.

They chat freely. At Child Class 2 (a class for children of 5-6 years).

Class 2 Mistress: Okay kids, gather up. This is Miss Rachav Rai and she will be one of our room nannies. Say greetings to Miss Rachael Rai.

The Children: Good Day, Miss Rachael Rai!

Rachav: Good day to you, dear lambs. How goes your day?

Few children whisper among themselves at the title "lambs".

A boy: (To his mates): Does she see us as sacrifices?

Another boy: Aren't we kids?

Rachael Rai studies their behaviors and't whispering.

Rachav: Oh little ones, so you wanna know why I called you lambs, right?

A girl: Well...

Rachav: (Seated on a chair) Come, come children. Let's have a little talk. Best listeners will get a star.

The Children gather by her.

Class 2 Mistress: Hm, she got them united on the first day. Let's see if she will be able to bear it for the next days tho come.

Two days go by, Rachav Rai is able to sail through the torture of the fidgety children at THCs, for those children in her appointed class are known to be far more energetic than playful lions. On the noon of Thursday, 25th of the month, Rachav Rai is seen at the Main Gate of Empire Territory. An elderly active man seeming to be a Butler approaches her.

Head Butler: Miss Rachael Rai, isn't it?

Rachav: (Nods).

Head Butler: Well I apologize for the attitude of the gatekeepers on their behalf.

Rachav: Oh no , please don't be😄! They were only doing their job.

Gatekeeper 1: {Is this woman protecting us just so to punish us later?}

Head Butler: Indeed. Please come this way Miss.

The Head Butler directs the way by his arm. Entering into the Territory, Rachav Rai neck bows at the gatekeepers.

Rachav: May Jehovah bless you, Sirs.

Gatekeeper 2: {Whatever! Let's just show her respect to prevent trouble.}

The Gatekeepers neck bow.

Gatekeepers: You too Miss.

The Gatekeepers kowtow to innocent Rachav Rai, and through eye contact at each other, they pray that this new hired babysitter of the young master, Tiberius would not retaliate against them in return for the rudeness they displayed towards her earlier.

Head Butler: Your papers of agreement will be signed by the Master when he returns from his trip. You may start work tomorrow.

Rachav: Oh, of course. {(Delighted and determined) It's just babysitting. How hard can it be?}
