The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Corinne was surprised to hear Mother Cathrina talking about the past. She did not really know what happened to her back then, and all she heard was Mother Cathrina was a wanderer who happened to stumble into the convent and became a nun after receiving permission from the abbess. However, for some reason, the abbess did not allow her to be fully professed.

Mother Cathrina sighed and looked at Corinne wearily. “The fact that you can’t forgive them means you’re still stuck in the past.”

Corinne would have been angry had anyone else said that. However, she knew she owed Mother Cathrina for the life she had, so she simply asked softly, “Tell me, Mother Cathrina—have you forgiven all the people who have hurt you in the past?”

Mother Cathrina’s eyes darkened. “No. I haven’t. Nor will I ever.”

Some strands of her hair had escaped out of her headdress as though reminding her all the hurt, the pain, and the worries of the past would always be with her, no matter where she went.

After a pause, Mother Cathrina added, “I actually have a son, Corinne. Not a day goes by without me missing him.”

Corinne was a little taken aback by the revelation. This was the first time she ever heard Mother Cathrina mentioning her son.
