1990

Aha…so I see! She is a powerful woman then!, I thought and that starting today I will refrain from being close to her since she can have me expelled or be transferred to Timbuktu if she wanted to. Hmm. But why would I be scared from a sister who is younger than me. She is like ten years younger so….that’s a plus for me. She needs to be disciplined. And as the head mistress of St. Clare’s Community, I need to step up and let her know who is the boss here. Well, God is the supreme head of any organization centered to loving and serving him and his church, flock. Maybe, the reason why I was sent here is to lead them to where the organization needs to be from now on, organized and disciplined….

Aha, Sister Beatrice…., Sister Teresa said respectfully.

Beca, call me Beca!, I know it’s going to be difficult but I know you and Sister Carla knew why I was sent here, to become your head mistress, right? Or I am wrong to think that?, I added looking at the sister’s eyes  intently. You aren’t wrong sister. You are sent here to be our new head and Sister Jona will be your assistant.

Okay, right!, thank you and I will talk with everybody tomorrow then. Goodnight! Sister Teresa, Carla!, I said smiling and closed the door behind me. I wasn’t hungry at all anyway so I cleaned myself up and slept quickly,. I was dead tired from the travel anyway. Haaa….what the f! This isn’t what I signed up for. You’re really unfair, God, so unfair!

What are hanging over there, Paula? Rest now and we will have a long tomorrow, Sister Teresa said. Why? I want to talk to her besides she’s new, right?, Sister Paula cried. No, she traveled far and I’m sure very tired now.

I don’t know why I was sent here. Believe me if I could’ve said something and disagreed they would have sent me in the Philippines or America. But why did I accepted this post anyway? I’m never good in talking with women and neither have smooth relations with them, so why would I want to stay in this community? Haaa….why lord, why me?, I cried and tried to ask God why I became his servant when deep inside me I’m not worthy to become on in the first place.

Sister Paula couldn’t sleep and went up the rooftop to sit on it and look on the moon. It’s been a beautiful day and she felt like she can talk with Sister…who again? Ah yes, Beatrice. She seems nice and really pretty. I never felt so close to someone like this before. Maybe she is my soul mate, or whatever they call it on story books. It’s the 90’s so, I don’t think that would matter anyway.

Cell phones have just been introduced as well as computers but the box type ones. I never owned a desktop computer anyway. The cell phone I had was a gift from a suitor and one who became my boyfriend but due to family issues and misunderstandings we didn’t work out, our relationship and I left him to serve God instead. But was It a good decision or I just wanted to run away from hurt or the possibility of being hurt since I grew up in a beautiful family but my father was tagged as a womanizer.
