Gabrielle, a nun, sat under the Udala tree dazed about her feelings, she wasn't supposed to be feeling this way, not for a man, it was beyond her control. Even when she had told him she had no feelings for him, her heart was saying a different thing. She had been in the Convent since childhood, one rule that was so announced was the fact that they were not supposed to fall in love with a man, it has been easy waving away feelings until she met George, a simple farmer living in the outskirts of Tokyo. He wasn't attractive to have assumed it was his charming look, neither was he any of her spec, but why she never seemed to wave off the feelings she had for him was something she couldn't explain.
Gabrielle had met George one evening when she was robbed and stranded along Tokyo, he was compassionate to accommodate her for a week. "I don't have enough money with me now to help you get home, but I could harvest some of my produce in a week's time and sell it in order to realize just enough to get you to your destination," George said after Gabrielle had sought help. She had accepted to live with him having no other option, "it's just a week and I would be gone" she told herself. During her stay with George, she helped him with his farm work, played games together, had life challenging and provocative discussions, and gradually she realized George had the same philosophy about life.
"So why did you choose to become a nun" he had asked one evening as they sat around a campfire and roasting a Yam they've harvested.
"It wasn't my choice, it was what my mum had chosen for me. They believed being a nun would help not only serve God fervently but would free me from the cruelty of men" she said chuckling.

Cool story! Living another's dream isn't the way to go at all... I'm glad Gabrielle chose her own path instead of losing that love.
She broke the rules but it's a nice decision I must say 😊
I think she did well in making her own decision. That promise was never truly hers, because she was forced into it.
!PIZZA !ALIVE !LUV !LOL

Intriguing and well told story. The language flows smoothly and one can "hear" the voice of the narrator. The length is perfect.
George is a lucky guy! Unless Jesus smites him for taking one of his brides ⚡ 😮
