Scandal of Grace

"A Filipina was sentenced to death because of being accussed as a drug pusher ."

Most of the times, Poverty leads us to do things we didn't expect to do.

Like Her...

Grace...

Grace de Jesus. A girl that once dreamt to have a bright future but blinded because of the news about the Bill in America that enables everyone to buy everything for free by inserting a chip inside your body. Because of that her Life brought into something...

"Finally I can do all I want to do now." Grace happily said.

'No'

Little did she know, the staff are suspecting her luggage but she just shrugged the thought of it.

"Ma'am can we scan your luggage?" her forehead began to crease by their actions but she just nodded because she's clueless.

Minutes later, they found bags of cocaine and heroine.

On that day, Grace was imprisoned/

Sentence for five years and penalty of $100,000. If she can't pay the amount she will be penalized of Death.

For so much wanting to go to America, to get a hold of that can enable her to buy things for free, for not thinking wisely, she was fooled by someone.

"Hey, Lady." when she looked up she saw a man in his late 50's.

"Why?"

"Because you didn't listen."

She looked at the man who are now sitting beside her. She can feel that there is someting with this man.

"Most of the time, we thought that the wrong are the right ones and the right are the wrong ones."

she got more confused with this man. She felt something strange.

"Who are you?" Grace asked.

"I'm John." the man answered quickly.

"No, there's something. Are you a priest or pastor, a preacher?" she asked again to the man.

"No, I am no one but I can be everyone." the man said meaningfully.

She felt an unfamiliar feeling that succumb her heart.

She didn't know that she was talking to the man for quite so long. She even told her story and the story behind her imprisonment.

"Would you like to come to our Bible Study?" she just nodded because she know she can't do something to decline his offer besides she will just sleep the entire Bible Study.

Before the man left, He left a sentence that tattoed in her mind until she fallen a sleep.

"We should live by Faith and not just by sight."

After five years....

"De Jesus the time has come." the sheriff said.

She just smiled and nodded lightly.

She didn't forgot to bring her Bestfriend. The Bible.

Eversince John left the Prison, he always visit her there, before he left he gave his Bible to her and now it serves as her food and Bestfriend.

"John, i just want you to give this to my family, if ever things may happened already." John just smiled sincerely and say. " You're finally back."

Moments later, she can already feel the poison that slowly killing her whole system until she finally closed her eyes with a smile tugged on her lips and her breathing already stopped.

'I'm sorry' Grace said in her mind.

"You're already forgiven."
