Mother Claudia's POV

As soon as I spotted one of the sweetest things and that is literally the firm and warm hug of the both young birds in love, I couldn't resist it. Nevertheless, watching them how they were cuddling into each other with a broad, radiant and angelic smile, barely believing on my eyes what I am beholding currently. Judy was absolutely right. Timothy too! He had drastically changed, promised as a loyal, loving, studious and staunch future husband to keep his promises for themselves. Prone to be more frank to her, without pretending or faking it! I am indeed pleased to see and experience their happiness in my eyes. I hope they have a sparkling and stupendous future together! As a married couple!  

After the embrace was broken, the things restored in the ordinary rhythm. 

From one side, I am tremendously delighted to behold them as a blissful couple, awaiting them a bright future, whilst on other hand I am afflicted due to what Timothy had done to her in Briarcliff by removing her from her position as a nun and administrator of the institution and some other things which don't deserve to be mentioned at all. 

Accordingly, we carried on to discuss something else such as how the things are going in Briarcliff:

-How are the things in Briarcliff now?- Timothy questioned in aloof way, being grave in his tone whilst holding Judy's both hands in his palms. Suddenly his frown emerged like a fog.

-Since you are both out of this institution, the things got worse. Especially the conditions except the patients are unbearable and do insane things.- I responded to the question by arching an eyebrow, expressing seriousness.

-It makes sense!- Judy replied bluntly, rested her head on his left shoulder.

-How do you deal with the issues in the institution afterward?- Timothy asked with enthusiasm as one of his hands stroke Judy's fabulous soft curly golden hair.

-It's not easy, Timothy. It's not just easy for me. The other nuns and security guards are having a difficult time with them. Just ask them in face to face!

-Well, it is particularly visible how they are struggling to deal with those inmates except you, Claudia.- Jude stated in flexible way.

-Exactly, my dear girl of God!*sighing in relief* Let's talk about something else rather than about this snake pit. *receiving perplexed looks at me* I didn't mean to offend you, guys. But...Judy, tell me how is your life going after Briarcliff. After your Prince Charming rescued you and you are established here in his villa, your sanctuary.- I insisted to listen to Jude's worldview since my curiosity was near the verge to choke my mind, not leaving it alone unless those thoughts and questions are scattered. Additionally, after I mentioned "Prince Charming", we all giggled along in hysterical way.

-Okay! *taking a deep breath, followed by exhaling and inhaling process for a while,preparing to answer* Well, I am much happier after I left this place where one of the worst things ever happened to me. Meanwhile, I cannot be more grateful to this amazing man next to me, my future husband Tim who strives for my happiness and our general happiness rather than for his own needs.*panting pleasantly* And I have great news for you, Claudia.

-Oh really? What are they, Jude?

-I have found a job just a few weeks ago, working as a waitress in one awesome restaurant with serene ambience, open minded clients, sympathetic colleagues and boss, in spite of that my boss is somewhat rather strict. - She announced the great news like she has won millions of dollars via the lottery.

-Really? That is fantastic to hear it, dear! I am really delighted to hear it because you deserve the best although the difficult times.- Sipping of my cool water whilst my smile grew as it was a radiant one. 

-Yes. I am feeling much better and comfortable to work as a waitress rather than as a nun or nightclub singer how I used to before.- Jude's smile was one of the evidential part to tell me how does she feels now. I can definitely tell that she is more blissful to live her normal life rather than to work as a stern nun who was discriminated by her colleagues especially the men and Mary Eunice.

-Excellent! *sipping* I am wishing you the best for the upcoming future if you are planning to form a family together. I mean to have your angels who are going to exactly look like you.*until recognizing Jude's frown, shaking her head by disagreeing* You cannot have your own kids, right? Oh, I forgot that you had a syphillis by your fiancé. I am so sorry, dear!- I apologized directly without to pretend like I am a sycopath.

-Everything is okay! This topic about the children really renders me...It doesn't matter! Every time whenever I behold parents with children or one child at least. I am getting quite envy, watching how truly cheerful and blessed they are unlike me.

-Don't worry, Judy! You have a chance to have your own child sooner...or later.*witnessing how Timothy is attempting to sooth her by wiping her shed tears, squeezing her brittle, bony body into his strong, muscly arms, telling her that everything is going to be okay and she shouldn't be miserable* You might be infected with syphillis for more than 20 years but somehow you have a chance to have your own child even if you are near your 50s, darling. - I uttered with confidence and calmness that dominated in my speech as I was taught a long time ago, wearing a holy smile across my lips, extending my arm to cup Jude's right shoulder, patting her friendly.

-From...where...do...you...know...that,Claudia?- She stammered by stating dramatically every word with an assuring smile. I hated to see Jude how desperately wretched she is. I can perfectly understand her issue by being paranoid for not having your own child, howsoever, she has the chance yet even if she is in her late 40s, further, she has a syphillis.

-I know it from experience, dear child! Because I know one former nun who was in her late 30s who shares similar story like yours before she to become a nun by excluding the fact that she was completely innocent, without commiting an accidental crime. She was infected by her fiance with syphillis and dumped by him a few days before their wedding, thereafter she was getting drunk, getting number by losing control and sleeping around. When she left the institution by marrying a History teacher, living together in their villa that is located in Texas, her birthplace, she was desperate exactly like you for not having her own heir who could look like either one of their parents or cheer her up at least. Around 2-3 months later, she realised that she was pregnant which was one of the most fabulous things that had ever happened to them. And nowadays, they are living together with their 3 beautiful children in their home. Don't be fooled by your pessimism because you will regret for not living your life by accepting it as an opportunity to have fun, relish the things that you do and possess.

-This story...*woowing along* is really breathtaking and splendid. Do you still keep in touch with the former nun who used to work in Briarcliff?- Jude questioned like a 1st grader who was tremendously curious to learn about the things that surround her. 

-Yes, I do! In spite of that it is not usually.

-I see. Could you do a favor for me, please?- Jude insisted.

-Yes?!

-Can you introduce me to this lady one day the next time whenever you call or see her on live,please?

-Of course,Jude! I am going to keep my promise. The next when I see or call her, I am going to. You shouldn't be that anxious at all!

-Thank you,Claudia!- Stated with a handful of shed tears which were wipped by Timothy's thumb. All I could recognize in Jude was tears of happiness rather than of grief or something more specific and grave.
