Cab reached the school. Hanna got out of the cab. She went inside the class room. She sat on her seat and her eyes were set on the road. She is waiting for Riny to come..
She saw Riny's father in his scooter. Riny and Ron were sitting behind his father. They seemed to be very happy. This is an unusual incident. Hanna wondered what would have happened.
When Riny came to class, she went straight to Hanna and hugged her.
"Sooo happy? Sharing is caring. Share it with me..." hanna said curiously.
"Dad stopped drinking. Promised mamma yesterday. first time we saw hi without being drunk.". Tears of happiness rolled down from her eyes.
"Hanna, dad kissed us before leaving home. Hanna dad fed us during dinner. Hanna, he really loves us. Hanna mamma was crying with joy. Hanna ... Hanna.. Hanna..." It continued.
Hanna felt a bit uneasy. The candle prayer. Jesus ... Oh my Jesus... Never make them apart... Unite them.. Unite them...
Next day she went to church with her mother...
She bought two candles and lit them up in front of Jesus.
"Forgive me.. Forgive me.. I will never pray harm for anyone. Never accept my last prayer... He is good now... Jesus I am sorry. Forgive me.. Let them live in love. I lost my dad when I was four. I remember him hugging me, kissing me.. Riny never had such experience before... Oh God, make her family happy always. ... " She was crying and Lea wondered what haopened...
'What, she missed her dad? Oh God, what happened to my sweet pie.'.
" Hanna, What happened darling"
She opened her eyes and turned back. When she saw her mum behind, she ran to her. Lea picke her up.
"Mamma, I made a mistake. I prayed to Jesus to get rid of Peter Uncle from Aunty as he used to hurt them. He has changed now. Wowed he won't drink again. Mamma, Jesus will makehim safe, na?. I was seeking forgiveness from Jesus. Mamma I promise, i will never do sooo... Mammma, Mammaa.."... Lea had not words to make her cool.
After a minute Lea regained her courage and spoke to her. "Darlng, nothing will happen as you have asked Jesus to forgive, don't worry"....
Hanna felt at ease now. She cried that much that she fell asleep on Lea's shoulder.
