Chapter 25: Episode 23
[In Jeff's Point of view ]

"At some point in time you would have to let go of her. You know that right?" She said as I laid there. My chest rose and fell in tune with the heavy breathing as I was done with her for the second time that night.
The night was so quiet that I could hear each breath with ease.
A frown crept onto my face when she made that comment. I knew what she meant and I wasn't ready to go down that path with her again.
"Candy... " I paused as I sat down straight on the bed covering my naked part with the remaining sheet.
"...we have talked about this countless of times and each and every time, I tell you one thing and I'm going to repeat that again today. It's bee__"
"__its been five years and you've already accepted the fact that she's not coming back." she cuts in. "Yes I know but you can't blame me when you say one thing and your actions says the other."
She stood up and walked over to the bathroom. I followed her there and tried to make her see things the way I saw them.
"You See I understand what you what are saying but believe me when I say I'm really over her and I want to be with you." I said as I wrapped my hands around her naked body.
"Are you sure about that Jeff?" She fled from my hands and gesticulated in a way that suggested that she didn't believe what I said.
"I am very sure about that Candy. And to prove that, I will text you an address to location tomorrow after work. Meet me there and I have a surprise for you." I said and kissed her on the forehead.
"You don't want to go the third time do you?"
She asked wearing a mischievous look and ran off to the bed room.
"You bet I will." I said as I ran after her.

[In Sav's Point of view ]
Knock knock
I knocked on the door as I continually tapped my foot wondering what Mother superior Kali had called me for.
A seconds after, the door creaked open and Sister Ade came out trembling. She would usually give me a smile whenever we met regardless of whatever she was doing but it was different this time. She kept her eyes on the floor and walked past me without a single hello.
That increased my anxiety as I tried to wonder what could possibly be wrong.
"You can come in now Savannah." Mother Superior Kali ordered with a coarse voice which sent chills down my spine.
I pulled the door open and entered dying in the uncertainty.
She stood in front of a cabinet full of files dated to since time begun. They looked very old and dusty. I wondered what she was possibly using it for. Then my eyes met with Mother Superior's.
She wore a brown, ankle-length dress, loosely based on the shape of a tau. It was cinched at the waist by a long rope with three knots tied into it, representing the three vows of poverty, chastity and obedience they take as nuns. On her head, she wore a white "bonnet", a sort of close-fitting cap, and over that, a white waist-length veil.
She wore a black sandals at her feet, and a rosary chapelet round her neck. She looked a little younger than her own age and everyone at the orphanage wondered if her age was her real age.
"You should have a seat Savannah." she said as she ran her hands through the pile of files on the cabinet.
"I'm sorry Mother superior."
"It's OK my child." she said and let out a soft grin. She walked over to her table that sat in the corner of the almost empty room.
"You should clear that worry off your face child. We are here to talk about the same thing we've been talking about since the day you got here." she added.
Droplets of sweat begun to form on my forehead as I sat there my fingers tightly held to the seat I sat on.
I knew what she meant by 'the same thing we've been talking about since the day you got here' and I wasn't sure I was ready for that conversation again.
"Mother superior...." I paused.
"You don't have to say anything Sav. We are all glad to have you here and you know it but we have to do something about your situation. It's been five years now. You should be able to remember something." she said and rested her hands on the old and dusty table in front of her and stared right into my eyes.
Something about her look told me that it was it time I let the cat loose. I couldn't keep on lies anymore. Not after five years of great hospitality they've shown me.
I couldn't do it anymore.
"Mother Superior..." I said my voice cracking as tears shimmered in my eyes. I cleaned the tears that fell with the back of my palm and sniffed as I struggled with the truth.
"I...I.. I am very sorry Mother superior. I lied to you and the sisters."
