Love Is My Religion

There was a good day. This day was the wedding anniversary of Robert and Diana who were married since May 13th 1999. They believed that if the wedding anniversary coincides with Friday 13th they celebrated the day at a dinner hall of a church. Diana worked for an insurance company and Robert worked for a big hospital and he was a brain surgeon. He was saving lives but he was doing this job for money. He was a heart problem and he looked like an old person. Diana's time table was more flexible than her husbands because of that she came earlier to the church than Robert. The church was full of darkness and just candles was enlightening around; a big cross, a marble tomb and frescos of Jesus and Virgin Mary. Churchman was a friend of Diana from University thats why her husband and she easily organized the dinner in the church. Churchman was good at playing organ and preparing beefsteak with red wine. For this evening he was very excited for serving to his friends and for celebration of wedding anniversary as well. He went to a restaurant and bought a delicious steak, an aged red wine and a few raw fishes for his black cat named Lucifer. After that he came back to the church and went to his room for preparing the beefsteak. Diana checked her phone; Robert texted her he will come around 8 o'clock but it was almost 9 o'clock. Diana was a little bit nervous and she started to get bored. She went to her friends room for wasting time. Churchman almost finished preparing the beefsteak. The smell of the meal calmed her and her friend gave her a glass of red wine. They talked about university years. Diana was in love to the churchman at university years but because of their strict religious (protestant, catholic) family, they did not be together. The churchman's family was catholic but he had an archaic right to love her; Diana was a pretty women. She was ginger, white-skinned and also attractive. A man who talk a little bit with her can suddenly fall in her beauty. The churchman drank one glass of wine and Diana as well but disconcertingly they got drunk. They got close very much in front of the black cat. Diana was seeing her unhappiness and her lovelessness to her husband in churchman's eyes and the churchman was seeing the evanescence of darkness of his clothes and the death. He touched her freckled cheek but suddenly frescos enlightened with a blue light. Diana thought that it was her husbands car light because sometimes he took the ambulance for going somewhere. She looked at her watch and it was almost 9 o'clock! How was that possible? The door of church rang, opened and closed. She heard her husbands call from the main room. When she arrived to that room she saw her husband with a crucifix necklace. Robert said that he founded the necklace in front of the door. The churchman arrived to the main room and he saw his necklace. He was shocked because before the intimacy with Diana, the necklace was on his neck. Suddenly he remembered his black cat and he started to search Lucifer but the black cat was gone. He looked at the place which last time he saw the cat. On the tomb, there was white bristles. Did Lucifer turn into a white cat? He understood anything and he decided to forget about everything which he lived in this evening. He cooked again the steak and served to his friends. Robert and Diana talked normally and celebrated their wedding anniversary. The churchman who tries to forget everything belongs to this evening, was cleaning surface of the tomb from white bristles and he noticed a motto on it: You are older than me and love is my religion.

Note: Love is my religion is a quote from John Keats.
