~~~Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light~~~

"Seriously, where are we going?" I asked for the third time since I got in her car.

"Jeez, Samantha! I told you it's a surprise, duh!" I bit my lip with her reaction.

We were driving towards the place she was mentioning with me still bothering her to tell me where that place was.

"And by the way, I have someone to introduce you later."

"Huh? And who is that someone?"

"It's a secret for now." She shrugged.

"Again?"

"Yup." She even popped the letter 'p'. "I'm sure this someone would be a great help, like great among the greatest who could help you with all your problems."

I stared at her for a few seconds and nodded, even though I know she didn't see it and decided to close my mouth.

After almost an hour of driving, we finally stopped and reached our destination. Since I didn't bring the electric wheelchair, she gave me the metal clutch and helped me get out of the car.

I looked around us and noticed the three-storey building in front of us.

"Where are we?" I asked confused as we started walking slowly towards the entrance.

"You'll know when we get inside."

-'Haist!'- I couldn't help but sigh and rolled my eyes.

But my frown got deeper when we get inside. There are statues of Christ's apostles and a large statue of the Virgin Mary.

"Whoa! Where are we?" I asked for the second time.

"We are in a convent, Sam."

"C-Convent?" I turned to her wide-eyed and she nodded, smiling. "I-I have no plans of being a nun," I uttered subconsciously that made her burst out laughing.

"Oh, my goodness, Samantha Soriano!" She said between her laugh. "I didn't bring you here to become a nun, forgodsake! Where did you get that idea? I know you wouldn't be a nun because it's a natural calling besides, how can someone like you be a nun when you're loving two persons at the same time, duh!"

"Hmmp! I know!" I huffed but she just chuckled again.

As we were about to walk towards Mary's statue, we heard a woman's voice coming from the hallway to our left.

"Jack, sweetie."

We both turned to the woman having a different expression on our face. Jack has a wide smile spread on her lips while I got a surprised look when I saw the beautiful middle-aged woman wearing a white long dress and a veil on her head.

"Sister Fatima!" Jack squealed in excitement as she run to her and they both hugged each other.

-'Wow!'- I just uttered in silence and couldn't help but stare at her in awe.

I watched how they exchanged compliments and giggles as they've never seen each other for such a long time.

"Anyway, Sister, I have someone to introduce to you," Jack said as she turned to me with the same smile and I tried to walk as fast as I can to reach them. Well, we meet halfway. "Sister Fatima, this is Sam, my best friend."

"H-Hi, Sister," I smiled and immediately offered my hand for a handshake.
