After Marie met with Dr. Hudrisch and Sharyn, her first week in Denmark was packed with exams, interviews, and demonstrations of teaching. Her experiences at Ramon Magsaysay High School suddenly came back to her. She continued praying harder as she prepared for her turn, asking God's guidance, "I need to visit the nearby church here later." Dear God, I don't know what may happen but I give You all my trust." Since Sharyn knew she was a bit uneasy about what might happen, she often told her, "Just do your part." Since these steps were just formalities, Sharyn urged her many times. Marie was thankful for Sharyn’s attitude toward her. She was kind and thoughtful. As soon as she had the time, she sent her messages or called to remind her about school papers. On the last day of her first week, after Marie demonstrated her teaching, Sharyn accompanied her to the Denmark Higher Education Office. She was interviewed and her papers were forwarded to the school. She was asked to have a pict
While the royal Danish driver played Danish music, Marie felt uneasy in her seat. Marie was sitting at the back of the royal guard who sat beside the driver while the two Danish officers together with the other driver were in another car. “Dear God if this is just a dream, I don’t want to wake now. Everything is magical. I was contacted by my professor who offered me a job and her niece who worked on my papers. Did I do something to deserve all of this? The Danish University of Higher Education is so strict and meticulous that it screens all application materials and documents before accepting an applicant. As a result, he is unlikely to be accepted into Danish City High School right away. Exception, Father? How can I ask for Your power when I know that nothing is impossible for you? Help me to face the royal family here." Marie's prayer lasted for ten minutes, but she kept looking left and right at the gorgeous houses. “We are now entering the castle, ma'am." The driver spoke while
Having found a church identical to the one she attended in New York and the Philippines, Marie was very happy. “Oh, I need to list down my To-Do List. Wait! Dear God, this is just a dream. Marie cheerfully expressed her thoughts on the contract. I need to buy my food first. Why do I feel hungry? She read the update to her apps on her phone." I walked almost three thousand steps!" she said as she read the update. She was about to close her door and go outside, suddenly, on the headboard of her bed, her phone rang. “Ma’am. I mean Sharyn. I didn’t know that…” “I am happy for you.” I hadn't signed the contract yet. So, you know all these things?” “Yeah! You must sign now and return to the royals. That shows how much you appreciate the opportunity they have given you. We knew everything about the event, even the tiniest details. Dr. Hurisch is happy for you, too. Instead of training in our school, you will receive instruction in royal administration.” “Actually, I found a church here
Marie’s thoughts were still on her aunt’s case. During her vacation, she secretly reviewed the messages her Aunt Shiela sent to her from the very first day that she arrived in Denmark. “Aunt Shiela was very happy with this picture. And the address that I was looking for… Father God, help me as I begin to dig into Aunt Shiela’s case here. Am I right to ask for justice? No one, not even the..." After her prayer, she thought of something. "Wait. There was no way I could ask about their history." As Marie read, she sat with a frown on her face as she scanned the pictures. It was Friday night after Mary had completed her Danish language training. She received a video call from Ralph. “Hej, Ms. Sieran.” “Hahaha. If I didn’t know you, I must say that you are Danish. You perfectly hit the accent.” “Really?” “By the way, I heard that all of you stayed in New York. Have you all applied for a working permit? “Yeah. Four of us are already a contractual teachers at Manhattan High School.”
The launching of the project came and the king and queen were the only royals who were there. The prince, on the other hand, who received the invitation on Spain Day and had signed it ahead of time, decided to attend the first activity. This was of immediate importance. “Your Royal Highness, I’m glad that we met again.” Marie smiled as she shook hands with the king and queen. As she gazed at the whole conference room 3 on the second floor of the castle, Queen Viela II asked, "How's school?". Marie smiled. “Oh! Before I had some time to learn Danish, but now I guess I am beyond a beginner, honestly.” The king laughed softly and replied, "Well, that's alright. You can learn the Danish language easily if you keep on practicing it now and then.” The host called everyone to settle down. Marie asked the royal highnesses then that she needed to go back to her seat. As the program continued on, Marie's eyes were fixed on her phone when a notification popped out. In a private message sent
Because Marie regularly updated her social media accounts, everyone knew that her poetry book project would be realized soon. Her backache that had been healed before she came to New York returned one night as she prepared to sleep on her bed after visiting Sharyn's family. “I don't understand why I'm experiencing this pain again. It was healed years ago." Marie’s thoughts were on her back as she looked for something to get on her blue Denmark’s medicine first aid kit box near her brown folding study table beside her bed. She found an ointment for back pain and applied it immediately to the painful area. “Now, as you see the pictures, what can you say about the characters in the story?” Marie suddenly walked a few steps while asking her students as she felt a pain in her back and waist. She could no longer tolerate the pain and retreated to her condo hotel within the school's campus to take a break. “Dear God, what happened? Her tears fell as she lay down on the bed, chest and face
She fell asleep while praying and crying, wondering why she had revealed to the prince what was on her head last night. The truth is she fell asleep while praying and crying, asking herself why in the world she told the prince what was on her head last night. Despite what she was told or how she was insulted, Marie didn't behave like that all her life. “Why? Please accept my apology Dear God, I was weak and gave in to my emotions." But why were you so angry?" Marie suddenly stood up and stopped analyzing her actions. I am close to my period and…Oh, again? "My Pre-Menstrual Syndrome." Marie scanned the table calendar on her table, which looked like a book near the wall. “Now, I am experiencing mood swings and irritability again. Why am I so defensive? And the prince became furious. I apologized, but he didn't say a word. He will possibly remove me as his partner and tell the king and queen about what happened.” Marie answered the call immediately as she gazed at Joe on the other line
“The Palace reveals that Marie Sieran has mild scoliosis as a result of what happened to her several years ago. She was bumped by one of the world's most influential man but never made a complaint.” She let herself lie down on the settee of the condo she and the other teachers shared, scanning her phone, and happened to read the Philippine Daily Inquirer News which featured her photo on the first page of her picture when she was a child on the first page. Marie's tears began to fall again as she said, "Ouch! My back pain keeps coming back again, so it's in my waist. Why does this keep happening? Marie began to cry again. “Father, here I am again, and something is lacking. Lately, I have felt bad about everything. The implementation of the project is coming soon and this news. Will this create a problem for my project again? ” Marie for a moment felt lazy and she did not notice that she was already done for an hour and did the same thing. “Mother, what happened? Why in the world has t
