Saint

Hot milk was ready.  A saint’s very food! She glanced at the mug and thought there’s a small difference in things today! Saint walked through the crossed Jesus in the pray room and slightly fell on her knees and while praying looked at Christ like always and everyday but he didn’t seem to be sacrificed today! She looked carefully! Yes, she was right! He was smiling at her!

The fresh smell of milk had covered the dining room which she hadn’t experienced it before. Saint looked at other nuns one by one to be sure of their lifeless faces. Seems she was looking at herself in their mirror.

Saint found herself next to crossed Jesus again, begging for a word but just received his smile spreading into the atmosphere.

Happy to take off her uniform, saint washed her face in the cozy bowl and drowned in her thoughts while staring at small waves. “Where’s my halo!?” She almost shouted and rushed to the mirror. “Where has it gone?”  She had lost her halo forever. That’s why she felt slightly happy. Saints are quite dependent on their halos. She though Jesus was always smiling at me but weight of my halo didn’t let me see it!

Her new day was shining. She just couldn’t wear her uniform. Step by step walked slowly towards a window she had never cared about. Yes, there was a different life going on. She looked down at people’s routine life and smiled; Saint was free!
