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 situated behind the Redemption Missionary Church, lies Rachav Rai, a young lady in her late twenties. She possesses a carefree spirit, an angelic face, a warm heart, and 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 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 make 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. She runs into the Monastery and, after wearing her veil, sneaks to the back of the temple seats among the sisters, behaving as if nothing has happened.

After an hour of prayer, each Nun returns to her duties, and dear Rachav tries to do the same sneakily. 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 Rachav, start to go 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 are 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 to her) Rachav, this is from the Missionary Leader; you cannot defy. {I can finally live some time without this troublesome girl, hehehe.} I have already informed the Senior Nun of Dormitory G, and she has, for sure, readied your 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 from earlier: (On contralto vocals) When the lamb returns!...

Rachav Rai, in a quiet train of thoughts, stops and curtsies to them. The Reverend Sisters watch her walk past the path in short-term 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, and 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 past Rachav Rai, ending the episode.
