Now father Edward is very much in touch with Edward and they even exchange contacts before he leaves. Esther is also happy even though she knows their are some answered questions that will really be a headache to her before she gets the correct and most accurate answers. She is indeed a very beautiful lady, very appealing to any mans eye and all this could even be spotted even when she was dressed in her nun clothes. One could just imagine how she could look like in any regular clothes and the answers were more than what someone can imagine.
All her entire life she was not familiar with this beautiful thing known as love and it could be a very critical condition and would be so intense if she happens to fall in love one day and this obviously will go against the church rule and comes with harsh and ruthless consequences that can not even come across her mind. She was one girl that was raised in the most perfect way a parent could want to raise his kids and of course she might have had some little problems with her parents when she was a kid which is a normal thing to any ordinary kid.
Esther's parents were the most unique parents ever to appear in their place and they happened to have only one kid who was Esther. They still live back in the country side and it is now around two years since Esther joined the Catholic community and start his ministry with the church. Each member of this little family was devoted to Christianity except for Esther's father who was so different and lived his own different life. Her mother was also a Catholic church member but was not into it as Esther came to love it. Esther's father was a very harsh guy and to make it worse he was an alcoholic, a day could hardly pass without him going to grab a bottle of wine or beer with his friends. He could frequently come back home so exhausted and tired drunk to his worst state. All this is because he could not understand how he could not manage to bear any more children but through all this even in his alcoholism, Esther was his favourite and he loved her so much that he provided everything to her one and only daughter. Esther finds it hard to believe that now as she sits in the middle of her room that she is no longer in the heart of her loving father any more. She starts to have memories of her childhood when she could hang out with her dad all day doing all kinds of jobs and helping out her dad in making and fencing around their compound. Each single day her dad could wait for her in the conner as she came from school and picked her or sometimes he could even carry her. They had the strongest and intense love for a father and daughter and all this is no longer their anymore. It all started when Esther graduated to high school during her early teens and was now growing to a young and beautiful lady. Her dad was becoming worse and his drinking habits became alarming since it reached a point where he was hospitalized and diagnosed with a rare condition and required a liver transplant since his liver was so damaged from his drinking. Esther and her mother became so disturbed and were very stressed. Esther became so affected and never wanted to loose her father at any cost. She was oftenly spotted going to church after school when other kids went back home,she could branch into the nearest Catholic church and prayed for her father's health. This habit became common and ahe could not stop, she begun to have a close relationship with the Catholics and at some point she was so in love with it and came to a decision to join it.
At this time her father was now at home anf being taken care by her mother since the hospital could not do much but had to prescribe some medication to him that kept him alive. He started becoming strong but not at his best. He was also warned about drinking and he had to totally refrain from drinking.
One day Esther comes home with two more friends and of course they were nuns from the Catholic church and finds her father in the living room taking some rest. She greets him and intruduces her friends to him.
Her father doesn't seem to be feeling well since he coughs randomly and struggles in his breath. They have a good conversation and Esther breaks some news to him that changes everything abruptly. She tells him about her plans of becoming a nun and this is where everything changes and her father freaks out.
All he has ever wanted is for her to grow up and have kids to keep her lineage and his bloodline on since he could not have any more kids and his time was passing by. He did not support this idea of her becoming a nun and he becomes so upset to a level where he looses control forcing them to rush him back to the hospital since his condition had worsened up. Esther stays with her father in the ward and watches him all night. He regains his conciousness and he could only ask Esther not to become one of them just for his sake. She cries beside his bed and could not promise him. They spend the night at the place and he is discharged by the next day which was so unexpected but they were happy for that. Esther still believes to this day that it is her prayer through the Catholic church that is still keeping her father alive even at this second. She left home two years a go and she has never spoken to her dad since. This memories come to her head just because of Brian and he does not know what to do next. She sits on her bed unmoved.
