SHAPESHIFTERS
Part 92's
"I'm sorry. I had to lie by saying that Sister Martha wanted to see you...
I don't want anyone to mistake me for doubting my God by asking people for help" sister Maria, walking slowly with Marco, came out of Martha's sister's room.
"It's okay, Sister! No need to think about it" Marco said.
"Actually, I was a little curious as to what was really going on, so that Sister Martha could wake up from her sleep at that time" sister Maria said.
"Did Sister Martha not tell her?" ask Marco.
"No. I don't really want you to tell me that either...
Because if my best friend just doesn't want to tell me, how can I force you to explain what happened" replied Sister Maria.
"Hmmm... I hope you're not in a hurry this time. You've come here for the umpteenth time, and I've never served you well...
So this time I want to take you to tea with me" continued Sister Maria.
Marco actually wanted to return to his home immediately, but his reluctance to refuse the request of Sister Maria, made Marco forced to accept his invitation.
"Okay, Sister! I might be able to spend a little longer here" Marco said.
"Good! Please come through here!" sister Maria said as she pointed in one direction.
Marco was still walking with Sister Maria, until they arrived at a room that looked like a dining room, with long tables and benches lined up neatly.
"Please sit!" sister Maria said.
Without having a chance to sit, Sister Maria was seen walking to a small door, and walking past.
Marco waited for himself there, for some time, until Sister Maria was seen returning with a tray containing two cups of drink.
"Please drink!" sister Maria said, after serving a cup of tea to Marco, and another cup to herself.
Sister Maria then sat opposite Marco on a long table.
"How have you been lately?" sister Maria asked, sounding pleasantry.
"I'm fine, sister!" replied Marco.
"Have you found your family?" ask sister Maria.
"No, Sister! But, I already know where my Mommy lives" Marco replied.
"Why haven't you visited him?" ask sister Maria.
"Eh! Forgive me! It was not a question I deserved to ask" continued Sister Maria hurriedly.
"I have not been able to visit him, because of the busyness at home that I still have to do," said Marco reasoned.
Sister Maria seemed to nod her head.
"Drink tea! If it is cold, it will taste worse, than when the tea is still warm," said Sister Maria, then sip a little tea from her cup.
Marco also drank a little tea.
"How did the story go, so Sister Martha could suddenly fall unconscious?" ask Marco.
"Hmmm.." Sister Maria muttered, furrowing her brows.
"He was with me as usual. Early in the morning after the Mass, we would bask in the courtyard, while Sister Martha practiced moving her legs and hands" Sister Maria said.
"Something's got to make him nervous. Is it possible because for too long can not move freely and make him bored. He suddenly forced himself to walk on his own...
Not a few steps he walked, Sister Martha then fell, and could not be realized again," continued Sister Maria.
"Is there anything strange or perhaps unusual at the time of the incident?" ask Marco.
"Hmmm... I don't think there is... In the courtyard there were only children playing, as well as several other Sisters guarding the children" replied Sister Maria.
"That makes me feel strange, just his condition fainted a long time ago. To make me think that this incident, just like the incident fifteen years ago," continued Sister Maria.
"That worries me too. According to the doctor, his vitals are fine...
None of the results of the examination, if he suffered from any disease. It really just goes into a vegetative state just like that" replied Sister Maria.
"But, it is possible that this is indeed His way for Sister Martha," continued Sister Maria.
Sister Maria then sipped her tea a little.
"Suster Martha is a transfer nurse from a country far away from here" Sister Maria said.
"When I first met her, I knew immediately that she would be my best friend." continued Sister Maria.
"Suster Martha isn't a native of this country?" ask Marco.
"No" answered Sister Maria.
"To my knowledge, she once said that she used to live in other parts of the world, before finally becoming a Sister of the Church, and got the task of serving in this place," continued Sister Maria.
"Did sister Martha never tell you about her home country?" ask Marco.
"The woman." said Sister Maria with a small laugh.
"Every time I asked him about it, he must have said that he was from a place where the people had wings on his back...
Then, because he felt conscious of the existence of God, until he chose to be His servant, and stopped being a servant of winged creatures in his dwelling place," continued Sister Maria.
"I know that he's just kidding...
How could there be a place on this earth inhabited by winged creatures. Does he live in an angel-filled paradise?
Why should he serve the Lord of the earth? Wouldn't it be better if he served him there?" sister Maria said again, smiling widely.
Marco listened carefully to the words of Sister Maria.
Winged creature?
A fairy?
As Delta says?
Suddenly Marco felt that there was something he seemed to be missing.
Butwhat?
"Is there nothing else that Sister Martha told me about where she lived?" ask Marco.
"You're interested in Sister Martha's bullshit story?" sister Maria asked back.
"Hmmm... I just feel interested, about how Sister Martha's friendship with you all along," Marco said.
"Suster Martha, is probably the most diligent Sister caring for the children of the orphanage, when compared to all of us others, who are in this place...
He also likes to tell stories to children in orphanages, about winged creatures that are beautiful, strong, and can fly wherever they want...
Until Sister Martha was once called the 'Butterfly sister', by children who like to listen to her story," said Sister Maria.
"I, who used to take care of the children together, sometimes listened to the story...
And it is quite interesting, to make the children want to be kind, for the sake of listening to Sister Martha tell me," continued Sister Maria.
"What's the story like?" marco asked, curious.
"Say, the winged creature can live for a long time, and use the chosen humans to be their servants...
Because the winged creatures do not like to deal with humans other than their servants, so they need the help of servants to provide necessities in their homes...
Starting from buying groceries, clothes, to building materials for their homes, even looking after their children, when the winged creature was flying out of their residence, he said, everything was done by the servants" said Sister Maria.
