What Went Wrong?

She stomped in, angry as always.  No one made a word, but moved in each own's directions.  Their joy was cut short, having to start a donkey's life now.  She frowned, and scanned their duty roster.  Then, in dissatisfaction, she pursed her lips to mouthful critics which unfortunately dropped unto deaf ears.  They were prepared, clogging their eardrums from deafening frequencies.  To them, she was a boss, of nobody, who scrutinized every small details as if looking for anything, just something to complain.  She was being totally unreasonable!  She opened her eyes in disbelief.

Then, one stood out.  Out of the nine working bees, one boldly stood out.  Purposefully, he swung his broom carefully in front of her, which navigated her gaze into his direction.  Head still low, softly he hummed, and slowly sang the words as clear as ever:

Hari ini kurasa bahagia,
Berkumpul bersama saudara seiman,
Tuhan Yesus telah satukan kita,
Tanpa memandang di antara kita.

One by one, they followed suit, echoing the words to her ears.

Bergandingan tangan,
Dalam kasih dengan satu hati,
Berjalan dalam terang kasih Tuhan.

They sang, and chanted, and danced, sweeping, mopping and moving to the music of the song.  And, they wailed even louder.

Kau sahabatku, kau saudaraku,
Tiada yang dapat memisahkan kita,
Kau sahabatku, kau saudaraku,
Tiada yang dapat memisahkan kita. 

Psalm 118:24 stated, "This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it."

She was... bedazzled.
