The Human Alpha

The Big Deal

It is a Sunday and Esther prepares the children for some prayer session. They start by taking their breakfast and get ready for the prayers. Peter is so excited for this lessons since he was always ready to learn and it was so long since he attended any lesson. After taking a bath Esther goes to her room and prepares to go and teach the children. She is so in love in doing this since she had always wanted to be a teacher during her childhood.

The father also gets ready because he is to attend the mass. After everything was ready all the children and anybody that was willing to attend the lesson gathered at the prayer hall as they wait for the nun. Peter, Esther's best friend and kid takes the front sit because he never wants to disappoint his teachers at any time. "Good morning everyone,how was your night?" Father Edward starts by greating them and he comes holding a piece of paper on his hands.

"Today being a Sunday we are going to have a good time and it is not going to be like any other sunday since we have our lovely sister with us". Esther enters the room as father Edward continues with his speech. He spots her little friend and smiles at him. Everybody else is quiet as the father goes on talking.

"Today am not going to be the one incharge and by that i guess you already know what i mean, sister Esther will be the one to guide and teach you as i will be her student too,welcome sister, they are all yours" he greats Esther and takes a sit but before Esther could start speaking, the door is knocked and everything goes into a deep silence. Father Edward tells one of the kids to get it.

They open the door everyone's eyes fixed at the door since they wanted to know who it was. They oftenly had visitors on this day so they expected anybody. Sarah enters the room and everybody is relieved from the surprise they were expecting. She is warmly welcomed by Esther though she does not speak or say anything. She heads to the back of the room and takes a seat,her eyes fixed to Esther but Esther does not seem bothered since she goes on with her lesson like nobody had walked in. She is a good teacher and everybody seems to be enjoying the teachings including father Edward who is seen laughing and clapping each time. The teachings go on for about thirty minutes and they go into a story break.

Everything is going on well and everybody is in a happy mood. They resume their session and just like the first time the door is knocked again and this time Esther says she will get it since she does not want to make the children distracted. She opens the door and she sees it is the gateman.

"Hi,how are you, please come in" she invites him in.

"Am sorry sister i would like to join you but i am here to see the father since he has a visitor.

Father Edward who was busy reading his notebook turns and look at them and already knows that it might be a well wisher. He stands up and joins them. "You can go on sister i will join you soon" they head to the gate and a cab is packed their, Brian stands next to it and is well dressed. He greats the father with some respect and explains why he is here his reason being to give some support to the orphanage. Father Edward is super excited about it and is so thankful of his visit. He welcomes him in and walks slowly with him to the room Esther and the children are. They have a small chat and father Edward comes to like Brian since he seems to be a gentleman and might be send by God to the orphanage. Father Edward enters the room and Esther who was busy teaching pauses for a while. Brian enters the room behind father Edward and Esther freezes. She almost dropped her notebook but she did not want anyone to notice it.

"Sorry everyone for the disruption but i would like you to know that its a good day because we have been blessed and we are lucky to have a visitor who is also a well wisher, meet Brian a man who is so kindhearted and so in love with the work we are doing at this place" all this time Esther still finds it hard to believe what is infront of her eyes.

At one point he thinks that it might be a dream but all that is wrong since it was all real and she had to wait as she sees everything to unfold. Brian stands their not moving but seems not to know Esther at all. He looks at Esther and and shortly looks at the children. The children are concentrating on every single word father Edward is saying and they seem to be enjoying it. After the father finishes talking he introduces brian who is more than humble. Brian talk is so unique and looks like a preacher according to the way he was talking. This seemed to be so confusing since Esther did not see him that way, she believed that he was a spoiled guy but now everything was now more than confusing. He says he has come with some donations and everybody clapps with excitement.

"I am so humbled and great full to be here and as i can see you were in the middle of something sister,and before i go on sister Esther is one of my good friends and i would like to appreciate her for the good job she is doing here.." this seems exiting as he keeps on talking and now the confusion switches from Esther and goes to father Edward. Esther forces a smile on her face but seems so uneasy about everything. Everybody sits still as Brian goes on talking.
