Selena Anando pt.9

Ariel was working hard at her new job, and hadn't seen Rei in a while, she had heard that he had gotten fired from the job he had, but where he was working now, she could only venture to guess. It seemed like he was working somewhere very far away, but she kept patience in the lonely nights. One night, she attended a party. All of her friends were there, and even some she hadn't seen since she was little. It was a great party, the bishop was there, from the church and a good part of the congregation with him. There was a mass held early sunday morning, the bishop hadn't been around for a while, he had been under the weather some. She respected the bishop deeply, and recently had been able to see inside the inside circles of the church, the respected members. They told her that the bishop was more than just under the weather, he was close to dying. Ariel couldn't believe it. There was no way that this should be happening, but it was.
There was a new friend that drifted in her life, she confided in him, for some time but Oridach and Ariel made up their minds to wait for the storm clouds brewing to pass. They parted on good terms, just as soon as they'd gotten to know each other. In pain from the losses, Ariel clung to Rei, in realization of her deep love for him. She knew she loved him, but didn't realize that it was this deep. As the winds of controversy blew in, Rei was still standing. Mourning Ariel saw only the beginning of things. There were more hard times ahead, and curses of herself.
