Today at RDP, we are asked to share a story,
poem, photo, painting, essay, etc., focusing
on the word βmeshβ. Hereβs my take.
A CHANGE OF HABIT

βCalled to be a nun? You canβt be serious, Luna!β Hudi was stunned when her sister disclosed her secret.
βHudi, I shared with you what is in my heart. If you canβt accept it, thatβs fine but donβt start giving me a speech or trying to change my mind.β
Hudi started laughing. βThis is some sort of joke, right? Weβre no longer little Catholic school girls back in Spain!β
Luna didnβt even crack a smile. βI should have known better than to expect you to understand, Hudi. We may be twins but we couldnβt be more different.β
βWhy a nun?β
βHudi, look at me. Iβm not petty, funny or sexy like you. I canβt dance, I donβt know how to wear makeup or fix my hair or even dress nicely. Iβm hopeless! Being a nun and spending the rest of my life in a convent is my destiny.β
Hudi laughed again. βYour βdestinyβ? Please, Luna. Arenβt you being a bit dramatic? It sounds like this nun thing is more of a βhidingβ than a βcallingβ. Youβre not supposed to be a nun because youβre unhappy with your life.β
Luna didnβt say anything; she knew Hudi was right.
βListen to me! Youβre not hopeless. Iβm your twin; who better to help you? First thing I have to do is teach you how to fix this nest of twigs you have for hair; then everything else will fall into place.β
Over the course of a few days Hudi taught Luna how to apply makeup and do her hair. They listened to their favorite salsa music and without even realizing it, Luna was moving to the beat.
Getting dressed one day, Hudi couldnβt believe her eyes. βLuna, you have an amazing body! Why hide it under a habit?β Luna couldnβt stop blushing.
Hudi always knew she wanted to be a designer and landed a job in one of New Yorkβs biggest fashion companies. Her boss was impressed with her designs and offered Hudi the chance to put together a hot new lingerie line. Hudi jumped at the opportunity and threw herself into her work.
Luna, however, was having serious doubts about her decision to become a nun.
When her assignment was done, Hudi had a brilliant idea: instead of showing her boss one-dimensional drawings, why not have someone model them? The first person who came to mind was her sister.
Luna wanted nothing to do with the project but Hudi was convincing and Luna reluctantly agreed. On the day of the big reveal Luna was a nervous wreck. Hudi put on some salsa music and shoved her sister into a room full of executives.
Luna swayed to the music, then let her satin robe slip to her waist revealing the most feminine and sexy bra anyone had ever seen. Her figure was as incredible as her lingerie.
Proudly Hudi announced βLadies and gentlemen. May I present to you our model, Luna Delgado, wearing our next hottest seller β βHudibrasβ.β
And the room erupted in applause.
