The Hospital - Part 5

The Day of Day's



As I sat there holding her hand watching her life slipping away I knelt and prayed for the soul of this girl
 " little sister" may your next life be better, the best.

On entering the dorm, I saw sister Hui's light is still on.

"Sister I'm ready, I want to take my vows...to dedicate myself to my sisters"

Sister Hui looked at me carefully ' Do you know and understand what you are saying little Min ?'

"Yes sister I do"

We talked the night away.


The next morning we packed my stuff and with kisses, hugs and handshakes from my dorm mates I moved into the Novices dorm.
I knew what this meant, a new family...a new life.

Sister Lui greeted me into the Nuns dorms and as the door closed behind me realised I was entering a new world.


The Abbott  was sitting on the veranda when we entered her private rooms.





A stunningly beautiful woman in her late 30's but with the body of a teenager, I could see that even though she was dressed, looked at me so sternly as only Maio can.

'So tell me Little Min, what makes you think you're good enough ?'

Honghe, the working girls smoke.
