Samantha wobbled a little but held her walking stick more tightly as she walked toward the cafe. She might not here. An year had passed since she last time saw that person but she was the only one. Two customers stepped aside letting her walk in the cafe. They passed friendly smiles. she didn't smile back, her focus on Issy. Will she be still here? She was not but the girl behind the counter told her that she will come in afternoon shift. Samantha nodded and asked for coffee and then sat on an empty chair. The waitress gave her leg a pitiful look and brought the coffee to her. Samantha ignored her and stared out of the window. waiting for Issy. 

.......

Issy looked the same as she had when they met last time. she even remembered Samantha by her name. Samantha really wanted to talk to her. Issy went over the counter and spoke to the other girl and the girls shared a look and then Issy came back and sat next to Samantha,''Are you alright Samantha?''

There were so many things she wanted to ask Issy but she asked the most important,''Do you remember everyone's name?''

Issy frowned,''Mostly I guess. why?''

Samantha looked at her desperately, and then realizing that she was freaking her out said''Most people don't.''

Issy,'' I guess I have good memory and anyway, I like people.''

Samantha,''why?''

Issy,'' Because they are God's creation. He loves everyone and I love Him.''

Samantha paused,''God. Does he exist?''

Issy,'' Of course. He is with me all the time. He makes me notice his miracles.''

Samantha,'' I have never seen Him.''

Issy paused and then said,'' You can't. You are not like me. My love is different.''

Samantha tried to understand,'' Please, help me. I want to know him too.''

Issy looked out of the window,''You look hurt because you must have ran too hard after this world. When you clean yourself of all the wishes and all the desires, then only then you will find Him.

Samantha looked at her determinedly,''I will do it. I want to find Him.''

.........................

Few months later

Samantha waited outside of the cafe for Issy to finish work but despair had settled over her. Issy came out,'' Come sister hurry, we are late. Other sisters will be waiting for us.''

Samantha watched Issy walk excitedly past her forgetting that Samantha could not walk as quickly. she had never asked Samantha why she was in this condition. Even thou she had gone to hospital with Samantha many times but she still did not know.

Issy stopped the bus and waited patiently for Samantha.

Samantha was about to step into the bus but then paused and stepped back.This was not her bus. she looked up at Issy and said,'' I can't come tonight. You go on this is right bus for you.''

Samantha watched the bus doors close and then the bus left, she stepped back and sat on the waiting bench. She had finally found someone who could remember her name but could not understand what Samantha said.

Samantha looked at her hands in despair. she had lost her fiance in an accident which had nearly crippled her. She nearly touched the death. Now, she had no one left in this world. Only Issy, who knew her name but not her.  But there somewhere in this world was God who not only knew her name but also her. She could not find Him through Issy but He existed, that's why Issy knew her name. she looked at the next bus which stopped at her station. It was not her bus but then may turn out to be, she slowly got up and got into the bus.
