Do not worry so much, you can overcome anything. What may seem difficult now, you can walk through past it. —- Anonymous
Convent of St. Agnes; City A
Mia just finished cleaning herself and she is now uses using her crutches, Father Jasper also gave her an electronic wheelchair. Mia has already trained herself to wake up at exactly four in the morning, do her morning rituals and attend the morning prayers. She also helps in the kitchen, the kitchen staff gave her minimal work for they all knew about her condition, but she still insists they teach her something that she doesn’t know at all. In return, she asks Father Jasper and Sister Lourdes if she could have a small kindergarten school wherein she could teach some children.
Father Jasper and Sister Lourdes gladly accepted her request, they also told her that it will be a great help for her recovery as a person. Mia was also given a laptop, a cell phone, and materials that she can use in her teaching for the children. Mia already accepted her fate, she already accepted the consequences of everything that she had done in the past. All she wanted to do in the future was to ask for Lily and Luna’s forgiveness, she also wants to atone her sins to Edward and Louie, and lastly, she wants to tell Louie who is his real father that she kept for a very long time.
Mia also plans to help Luna to get her revenge on Sofia, she will be the one who will do it for her ex-daughter-in-law, she will protect her this time and most especially her grandchildren. For her, if you want to live your life to the fullest, you must lead a life where you are real and don’t have to pretend anything.
Most people are unhappy with themselves because they can’t appreciate what’s in their hands and they never get contented with what they already have in their life. That’s what happened to her, to Suzy, and to Sofia, that’s why when they look in the mirror, they wish they could change so much more about themselves so that they can fit into the concept of being beautiful and perfect. To have everything that they wanted and wish for, even if they could ruin or hurt someone, they will not care as long as they could get it and have it.
Even when they look at their life, they find nothing but faults and regrets. This creates a need to pretend and also a need to fit in even if they don’t feel comfortable with it anymore, even if they already mask every feeling that they are having in their daily life. So when you start to pretend something, you are always afraid that the reality will be known and so you will tend to stop being true to yourself. To be your real self, you have to first accept who you are and that’s what she is doing right now. She will not pretend anymore to all the people. She must learn to accept that she is a very unique individual and in the end, she might realize that although she might not have the same physical or mental attributes as others, still there is so much to love about her.
Love really can change the way we look at things and feel about ourselves. People who truly love will always encourage you and make you feel good about yourself. That’s why when Mia looks at Luna for the first time she met her in front of Villa 7 and when they got the confirmation of her identity, she already had this hunch that there are many people who love her so much.
Maybe when we are really in love with someone, we trust them. We listen to their opinion, advice, and suggestions. If they are told positive things about us, we feel motivated and supported. We feel valued and worthy. Sometimes, the same people can also become a reason for us to feel unworthy of that was Louie, her son, did to Luna. This often happens when there is a difference in judgment or differences. At that moment, people often end up saying or doing something that discourages or demotivates them. We lose our strength, motivation and start to doubt ourselves. Love should make a positive impact on someone’s life. Whether it is a rough patch of your relationship or not, never lower your loved one’s morale. You loved that person for a reason and your love should be a reason for them to feel loved, worthy and motivated. This is what true love is all about.
Now, living at this Convent for almost a month, Mia now realizes how Luna likes simplicity. Luna doesn’t like an extravagant lifestyle,s not like Sofia, who is a very high maintenance type of a person. Luna, on the other hand, likes simple things, she also appreciates even a simple gift like a simple flower or even a simple note of the message as long as it is written from the heart. Simplicity really means something, that exists in the most natural form, and there are some people from rich families that really practice it. And when something exists in its true form, everything about it is transparent and clear. There is no confusion or doubt about it. People tend to feel comfortable and at ease, and that’s Luna that she as her mother in law didn’t appreciate at all back then.
And living at the Convent, Mia already made friends with true people who didn’t have any masks on their faces. She even felt their love, true love, and care that she never ever felt being friends with Suzy and her so-called friends. For the first time, she could smile and laugh without pretensions.
Now, Mia starts living with simplicity, she will build the capability to move on from situations and people who complicate her life. She will be able to find the simpler solutions even for the most complicated problems so when she will simplify anything, it makes more sense and she will be able to make better decisions. She will try to keep her mind to be clear, she will also distance herself from anything that can build negativity in her mind and soul. In any situation, she will also try to be nonjudgmental, but she will be more accepting and understanding the people’s situations in life. She will keep her mind free and open, this is what living with simplicity is all about. She will be like Luna, the simpler the better.
But, Mia will still help Luna and the kids from afar. She had this feeling that any time Suzy or Sofia will give her a call or a message about their nasty plans against her ex-daughter-in-law. If they have a plan, she also had one. She will and must give a call and a message to the people who once help her, and one of them was the person who gave her a great help just for her to have Edward, and it was Louie’s father. She knew that that person will still help her for Louie’s sake, especially if she mentions having grandchildren.
Mia took out a notebook and scribe something on it, she wrote the pros and cons of each plan she will do to protect both Luna and the kids. She had some money, Edward gave her some alimony and even her ex-in-laws still gave her because as they say, she was still Louie’s mother and “their grandson” and for them, it will be her compensation. As she writes everything, she had a simple prayer in her heart, she prays that Luna and the kids and also Louie will surpass every obstacle that they will face in the future. In her prayer, she also includes the people who protect and care for Luna.
