CHAPTER Two: [The community Life]
Daniele began her community life as a member of an international religious order of sisters. To become a professing religious nun, she must go through several stages of training and formation. She initially feels like she's floating in the clouds because she has that sense of peace and tranquillity, free of all chaotic disturbances and troubles. Her family is unaware of her decisions.
She is the sisters' favorite because of her good qualities and desire to become a nun. As the days, weeks, and months pass, she witnesses some old candidates imposing restrictions on new candidates that she alone created without the sister's knowledge.
She understands the importance of appreciating each other's differences. But she can't be at ease because her group is being discriminated against because of her slower rate of catching up to rules and regulations, but she finds her members very humble to comply.
After a year, the superior decided to test their ability to deal with different people by exposing them to the opposite sex. Daniele appears to be having difficulty dealing with the neighborhood seminarians. They are an international group from all over the world. They are all attractive and friendly. Daniele never dares and is always oblivious to men.
Later, she notices that she has abandoned her professionalism and has become a servant, cleaning the chapel and the garden regularly. She has to work clerical jobs and bible studies in remote areas on occasion. Community living is not difficult, but there are times when she learns about herself during community gatherings.
She is feeling jealousy for the first time. She is envious of one of her companions, whom she regards as her best friend. Even though she is a professional psychiatrist, she began to develop insecurities. Many different feelings arise in her, possibly as a result of new training that differs from her parents' and schools' training.
A new group has arrived. The older members were unable to survive the training sessions. She is the sole survivor of the previous group. The new members of the group are very different from the old ones because they are all from the southern region. Others are from India, Italy, Germany, and other countries.
They have all had romantic and intimate experiences with people of the opposite sex. Daniele is the focus of attention because of her history as a pure and innocent person, but she is also a Psychiatrist. They all hold her position in high regard. However, she is envious of being left alone. She was always a favorite of those who came to the convent, especially the priests, nuns, and seminarians. Since then, she has felt isolated from her group. She is no longer content.
Her superior notices that she is an unhappy loner. "Perhaps you need someone to talk to," suggests Mother Superior. "I'm just glad to be alone sometimes, Mother Superior," Daniele responds. One of the plantation workers is taken with Daniele, and he always smiles at her when they meet at the mother's house where they sleep.
The European has brought his adorable 2-year-old child. Daniele greeted them because she adores children. Her superior takes notice of her. "Perhaps you'll be a good mother!" exclaims the superior as she tries to explain all of her actions and behavior. They wanted to make sure Daniele truly has a calling to be a nun.
"You know, Daniele, our congregation is a European foundation and we're westernized. We're open and broadminded. If we see you incline to our community life, we're all very happy, but if you're enjoying other alternatives than being a religious nun, perhaps you started to reflect on it. God wanted you to be happy and we do," the superior says as she gazes and tries to scan her all the way.
"Kissing on the lips with a boyfriend is a very nice experience; why didn't you try it?" she chuckles as she expresses it to Daniele, whose eyes widen as she looks at her. She smiles and inquires. "Why, did you have a boyfriend before coming here?" Daniele wonders. "Of course, I nearly married because I adore my boyfriend," she explains.
"But why did you leave him?" Daniele asks, her gaze fixed on her and her attention drawn away from her studies. "I also don't know the answers' just realizing I wanted to be a nun. My boyfriend cries when I leave him, He kissed my lips and hugged me so tightly. We had a date before I came," she continues.
"But when Mother Superior sent me a message, she just asks me, 'How are you, Connie?' Then I quickly escape and run away from him. I said, I'm so sorry but I wanted to go back to where I belong. We're not meant for each other!" Connie explains, laughing, but Daniele notices her eyes well up with tears. Daniele understands her motivations. She remains silent, but she has been staring at Connie since she revealed her secret.
They must all make plans to sing as choirs in the Parish church one day. Carol, a Filipina from the south, and Connie are both excellent guitarists. Connie is a nice person with a weak personality. Carol is assertive and takes the lead in the singing Choir group. They are always arguing about playing and accompanying guitars with the choir group. Even outside the group as they stroll down the freezing white thick snow around the meadows. Daniele appears to be contemplating their actions and is dissatisfied with both girls.
Months later, their work assignment is rotated. Daniele is in charge of the Formation house in the morning, washes the dishes in the kitchen before lunch, and wraps gifts in the afternoon before Language lessons. The man kept paying her visits in the kitchen.
Some of the kitchen staff appear ruthless to Daniele because they see her as nothing more than a dishwasher while they are the head of the kitchen. However, the man who always greets her in the formation house defended her and mentioned how well she works and looks after the house. "She has the potential to be a good mother to my children."
He said. Daniele took one look at him and began to avoid him. However, when she was assigned to look after the flowering garden. He found her walking alone under those tall pine trees after she went a little further. He pulled over and invited her to get in so she could get home faster. The Indian candidate noticed her with the man and made up stories about their relationship. Daniele laughed, but the sisters take it seriously as evidence that she is truly interested in the convent life.
Daniele can sing well during the Christmas season. Some elderly Europeans in the Home for the Aged give her a dollar as she sings Christmas carols. Daniele appears to the elderly as a small girl who brings them joy and pleasure. Daniele appears to be like them. If she decides to leave the convent, one elderly couple would like to adopt her. "If you want, you can stay in our house in Italy," they recommend. Daniele, on the other hand, has no intention of quitting her job.
It is time for them to go on apostolic missions in various parts of Rome. Daniele is assigned to work as a Candidate for Novitiate in a faraway land with the other Candidates. She's the Sister Superior's favorite. She has companions who look pitiful because no one dares to speak to her or pay attention to her. She is, however, hardworking and quiet. She exhibits some ignorant behavior at times.
Daniele tries to adjust her mental capacity and upbringing. She tries to befriend her although she is a bit gossipy. "She can change and grow later," Daniele said as he watched her rest on the terraces.
Daniele has a solo rest day one day. But she enjoys setting the table for lunch. Inside the dining room, her companion caught her doing it. She chastised Daniele. "Why are you here? This is my job, and you should not be doing it."
Daniele is shocked because her companion is angry, according to the Candidate. "Why are you upset with me? I just want to help," Daniele explained. "Get out of here!" exclaimed Daniele's companion as she took the bread knife and pointed it at her. Daniele lifted the chair to shield herself from her attacker. Daniele shoves her up against a wall. Then she dashed outside to the chapel to begin her morning prayer. Her companion, however, follows her and grabs Daniele's neck until she gasps for air.
"You bastard leave me alone!" Daniele exclaims, pushing her hard until her hands slip away from Daniele's neck. You are a bad girl, so stop praying because God will not listen to you! " Her companion retorted.
Daniele mocks her, saying, "You liar, Daughter of the Devil, get out!" Her companion, however, continues to attack her. "Ah, it's pointless to fight you!" Daniele exclaims as she dispatches her. She rushes to the office, leaving her companion inside the chapel. "Sister, my companion is attacking me inside the Chapel!" Daniele exclaimed, her voice trembling.
"What? I don't understand what you're saying; could you speak to me in Italian?" suggests the office's in-charge sister.
Daniele is in pain and unable to communicate effectively in Italian. The Sisters are baffled by her. She simply cries and remains silent. Daniele is having a conversation with her superiors. They worked hard to figure out what was causing their disagreement.
"It's okay, Sister, Mother Superior; it's already passed; I can handle it!" Daniele says. Daniele decided to close the issues until they returned to their formation house, which is not helpful to the authority in charge of their formations. "We're no longer children fighting over a spilled glass of milk on the floor."
Daniele explains to her mother in charge. "I'm no longer happy with the situation here, Mother! But I wanted to persevere until the end," Daniele says. "However, you must integrate and grow with others," the Superior advises. "It will come!" says Daniele. "Give me reasons to be happy while I see injustice and oppression here," Daniele asks.
One seminarian approaches Daniele a few days later. Brother Andrei proposed, "If you leave here, I'll take care of you; I'll leave the seminary, and we'll get married, Daniele." "No, Brother Andrei, it's not a good idea for you to leave the priesthood just to save me; I can leave her but not marry you," Daniele responds.
"You're such a nice person, but it's not enough reasons to leave and to marry you!" Daniele says as she groans to a halt. When Brother Andrei approaches, she appears to be pacified and calm. "But if we're truly meant for each other, God will make a way for us to meet again at a different time and place," Daniele says.
"Don't forget my name is David Andrei Richardson," he says quickly, and he walks away so that no one else overhears their private conversation.
"Your flight is scheduled for early afternoon, Daniele; you should pack up!" Sister Superior reminded. "What's the matter, Sister Superior? Do I go here?" Daniele asks. "You must return to your own country immediately!" said the sister superior.
"Can you give me enough reasons why I should go?" Daniele inquires. "No explanations," the superior declares, "but they decided you should pack up and your schedule is ready." Daniele is in serious trouble. "It appears they like to torture me for doing this to me without any clear explanations," Daniele muses as she sobs in private.
Daniele prays, "Oh Lord Jesus Christ, help me to understand their ways and show me Your ways." "Daniele, you should learn to be obedient to our Congregation's Vision and Mission."
The Superior gave the order. "Why, Do I violate your rules and regulations here?" Daniele asks, her voice irritated. "You should try having a boyfriend first," Formator's sister advised. "What? I wanted to save my purity for my love of Jesus!" Daniele insisted. "You grow, Daniele, grow!" insists the superior, "I can't understand you anymore!" "Daniele says as she walks out of the convent, with nothing to follow up on.
Daniele's parents, brothers, and sisters are overjoyed that she has returned after such a long absence. "What happened to you, Daniele?" Mother inquires. I, too, am baffled. But, according to them, I must obey. It appears that I am disobedient to them. "That's why I had to leave the convent life," Daniele explains. "You should get married and start your own family, Daniele," her cousins advise. "That's also what the Sister Superior instructed." But I'm completely perplexed by what they're saying. It's completely unclear to me! "Daniele expresses herself.
Daniele is now looking for a new job six months later. She has already recovered and adjusted to her new life outside of the convent. "What's your plan now, my dear?" Papa inquires. I'm not sure yet, Papa. But I will look for work so that I can be productive again. I can't sit around and dwell on my mistakes forever. "Daniele expresses herself.
"Hello!" says, someone. Daniele appears hesitant to respond. "Hello! Do I know you?" Daniele asks, her gaze fixed on him. A man with a beard covering his face. She looks him in the eyes. It has blue eyes, blonde curly full-grown hair, a bit stunning muscular body built, and stands 5'9 tall. "Have we met before?" Daniele inquires.
"I was here six years ago and saw you distributing gifts to the community; then I returned to Europe to continue my priesthood and saw you there, and now I've left my seminary and seen you here," he explains. Are you a Filipino national? " Daniele inquires. "I was still applying for Permanent Residence here the first time I visited here, but when you left, I withdrew my application." He smiles and becomes more attractive as Daniele gazes at him.
Chapter Three [ The secret love] David and Daniele run into each other again on a sunny Sunday morning as she walks along the path to the parish church.There are no other churches open at that time of day. The Parish church in Daniele's hometown is open every Sunday morning. "Why are you up so early? Are you supposed to sleep longer because the weather here is fresh, cool, and a quiet place where no one ever bothers you?" David inquired. Daniele bursts out laughing. "You don't know me. I love going to church, whatever church it is as long as I can worship the Lord Father Almighty. I can kneel behind the tomato plants or under the big tree if there are no churches in one place. I'm so lucky, we have one like this here," Daniele says quickly. "I believe we share the same religious mindset. I was born into our universal church, but I prefer local churches where I can express and practice my faith, which I conside
Chapter Four [The Wedding] David and Daniele ask Daniele's parents for permission to go to the city for other wedding necessities. Although her mother was disgusted by Danielle's nasty attitude toward her suitors when she was younger, her parents trusted her. She appears to be quite attractive, but her actions irritate her mother, who prefers to see her dressed up and well-behaved in public. However, she is acting differently. "I just prefer to wear shabby t-shirts because they're comfortable, Mama," she cries. "But it doesn't fit you anymore because you've developed breasts and your nipple shows through your thin t-shirts," her mother moans. " Daniele's older sister interjected, displaying grumpiness. She was always a beautiful girl, but she was unconcerned about other people's feelings, especially her mother's, who seemed overprotective and embarrassed until she decided to become a doctor."You look different to
Chapter Five[The first night] The sun started to wane in the west giving way for the shadows of dusk to emerge in the atmosphere. The neon lamps turn on the street lights so that people see the surroundings without looking but to know that there’s a light in the blackness of the night. David and Daniele decided to apologize to Daniele’s Sister for an early night’s rest as it is their first night after marriage.”So, where do you plan to stay tonight? Ate Cely worries about an accident the newlywed pair might encounter outside as she turns to her husband, who is cleaning the table after dinner. "We know you are already fatigued and haven't had any rest since you left the Farm," she says. "Honey, is your father's room apartment still vacant? Ate Cely motions for Daniele to hold while she asks quickly. Ate Cely's husband moves away from the dirty dishes for a second and approaches her, whispering, "What's y
Chapter six [The mindsets] David could not comprehend how his lovely and pretty wife had managed to maintain her purity at the age of 26. Typically, young adolescent girls have experiences already having sexual contact with male inmates soon after they have their first menstrual period in western nations. But Daniele made herself different and he rarely met a pretty, educated woman. For David, Daniele deserves a lavish wedding celebration, which he failed to provide because he had made promises to her parents due to the ongoing disputes and issues surrounding his mother's illness. How he wished to give Daniele the entire world in order to ensure a bright future for her and her children. At this point, when he needed his family's support the most, they were all going through unimaginable hardship. Danielle is not aware of David's situation, despite the fact that she already senses that he is going through difficulties. David
Chapter seven: "The First Family Member" Daniele doesn't like her new surroundings or where she is because the residence is further away from the accessible amenities. Danielle is nine months pregnant and finds it difficult to move. But she constantly keeps herself occupied by making new, higher-quality accessories and final items out of raw materials, which is David's handicraft company, as well as mending the clothing of her unborn child. , Daniele learns to be content with whatever life throws at her marriage to David and her new unborn child. She can't wait to meet her child. As David had previously prepared a lovely space for the baby's birth, she sets up the cot and wall curtains. Their new location's surroundings one early morning appear adversely gloomy, foggy, and sprinkled with rain. After finishing her work, Daniele chose to sit down on a wooden armchair and left her door open so that fresh air could freely enter their s
Chapter eight [ Competent companions] Even though she lost their first child, Daniele is incredibly confident in her husband's return. She gathers everything she has left to help her get through her low points and gradually heal the physical, emotional, mental, and psychological wounds caused by her enemies who attacked and betrayed her when she was expecting her first child. When David comes, Shaina, one of Daniele's close cousins, is sitting quietly in a corner of their apartment. David looks about and notices that Daniele has a little tummy already, indicating that she has already given birth to her child. “But where is my child? "David wonders in the back of his mind. He can't ask Daniele about what happened directly. David is so pleased that rushes toward Daniele in the bedroom, but he chooses to be silent out of respect for her family's presence. Instead, David uses his eyes to look for their newborn chi
Chapter Nine [Bridge across difficulties]Daniele gets up early in the morning and starts to walk around the area by herself. There are no moving vehicles yet along the dark road. Daniele creates sounds from her footsteps, which gives her confidence that when the street lights are off, the sunrise will give her the signs that something new will happen this day.Her small shoulder bag, which contained her phone, rang.”Hello!Daniele answers the phone quietly to avoid being overheard by anyone in the quiet place.Danielle hears David say, "Honey," and her heart immediately begins to beat faster in anticipation."What's fresh?" David softly added, "I want you, honey.”He asks her slowly and tenderly in a loving and sultry whisper.Danielle responded, "Oh, come on.." as she turned around and her thoughts began to race with worry that someone might be trying to hurt her at that precise time.Danielle says quickly, her heart pounding as the cool morni
Chapter Ten[ The Secret Entry zone] Danielle is enjoying herself at the moment. David wants to take her on a covert trip. Danielle is innocent and a decent, highly educated professional degree holder with a doctorate in psychiatry. They are both inclined to adventures as they search for the hidden exit location to leave the country and the entry point of another closest and nearby island to move straight forward into safe travel towards his homeland in Europe. She appears to have no history that David is aware of, but he notices Danieles' strong character, beauty, and intellect as well as her ability to respond to any challenging, unfavorable, and unforeseen circumstances. She was a good swimmer and runner in track and field during her school days, but she hasn't gotten pregnant yet. She wants to have her own children so that she can have a complete family with David. The question lingers in the minds of p
