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.
