Dont worry. I understand you. (The son of God)
Thank you. (Rafaela)
Lets continue, then. There is still a long way to go. (Aldivan)
The group obeyed. The walk continued. Walking for a few metres, they turn the bend, and went ahead. On the way, they meet two private cars leaving the village, some horse riders and a bicycle rider. As they were good mannered and polite, they greeted them and continue walking forwards. A short distance ahead, the first houses appear, and the ascent becomes flat. The seer stops, and so do the others, and then he takes advantage to speak to his adventure companions:
Do you see all this around? It is splendid terrain with its peculiar traits, this is a little of the outback caatinga. Every day for a year, I sweated walking this way. However, this did not make me less worthy. On the contrary, I felt honoured to perform my role as administrative assistant of the school secretary.
I have never worked. But I understand what you say. It is indeed good to be useful, what I am not now. (Rafaela)
Dont talk like that. You have got a beautiful family that loves you and the spiritual father too. Now, you have got us as friends. Do you see? You are not useless. You are important for those around you. (Aldivan)
Your words make me emotional Bua, Bua, Bua. (Rafaela Ferreira, sobbing)
Everyone became emotional. Instinctively, they approach and embrace her. They put so much emphasis in it that Rafaela felt suffocated. For the first time, in a long time, she felt completely loved, what a holy medicine for her depression problem.
When she was calmer, they separate again, and the talk continued for a bit longer:
This is how it should be! We are a great team with a common objective: Unravel the complex meanders of the exciting destiny. We are with you, seer! (Renato)
Thank you. Can I rely on you as well, my dear archangels? (Aldivan)
Always! Your father Yahweh leads us at every moment. It is his will. (Rafael)
In the darkest night, when everyone says no, when there will be no way out, I will rescue you. At that time, I will show a lucid, clear and workable way. From then on, happiness will reign in your life for I am Yahweh, the true God. Word of Yahweh. (Uriel)
That has already happened to me. Touching. (The seer)
That is the way I feel. Count on me for anything. (Uriel)
Thank you. Count on me too. Aldivan)
Can we continue? Time presses it is almost night time. (Pointed out Rafael)
Yes, lets go. (The seer)
The walk restarts. The approximately five hundred metres separating them from the village are quickly covered at a steady pace. They walk along the first streets and turn right, walk another fifty metres ahead and reach a residence chalet style, 6x13 m, with an area in front and at the side a side garage, masonry smooth plastered and painted white walls, with the number thirty-five written on a wooden plaque. When they get near the door, they knock and wait until someone answers. It is a blonde young woman, medium stature, rosy cheeks, called Jackeline. The same one from the previous adventure, The Encounter of Two Worlds. She speaks.
Is that you, seer? How long!
Yes. I am at my fifth saga of the series the seer. And you, how have you been? (The son of God)
Well. Who are these people with you? (Jackeline)
They are my friends, Rafael, Uriel and Rafaela Ferreira. Renato, you already know him. (Aldivan)
Yes, of course. Pleased to meet you, guys. (Jackeline)
Pleasure. (The rest, simultaneously)
Excuse my bad manners, please come-in. (Jackeline)
Thank you. (The seer)
Together with the group, Jackeline goes inside and as her parents were travelling she acts as hostess. They settle on the seven-seater settee in the lounge.
It was exactly 18H00 and she took advantage of the pause to invite them.
What about going to the kitchen? You must be hungry.
A little. What do you think, guys? (The son of God)
I agree it. (Renato)
Me too. (Rafaela)
Lets go. (Rafael)
Yes. (Uriel)
Invitation accepted, they left the lounge, go along the corridor and reach the kitchen. They sit around the main table, while Jackeline goes to prepare tea and biscuits for a snack. Would have offered a dinner but there was no time and she wasnt expecting visitors. When everything is ready, she serves them and then the seer takes the chance to speak.
Look, I want to ask a favour of you, Jack. Could you settle us for the night? It is already late, and we dont have any acquaintances here.
Dont worry. I have got available beds and mattresses for everyone. It will be a pleasure She said.
Thank you. Are you still working as a health carer? (Aldivan)
Yes, and you in your great adventure as a writer? (Jackeline)
Yes. I love my work. People like Rafaela inspire me to continue. (Aldivan)
What is the matter with you, my dear? (Jackeline)
I feel a bit bored and sad about some things. (Rafaela)
I understand it. You are depressed. You have made an excellent choice by choosing to accompany him. Aldivan has got words of life. (Jackeline)
And you, Renato, how are you doing? You have grown. (Jackeline)
Well. This year, I finish the medical studies and I wish to continue my studies at the faculty. I have already had a few flirts. rsrs. Said the youngster.
Kkk (Laughing). Very good! And you, Aldivan? Have you found love yet? (Jackeline)
Not yet, but I am looking for it. Who knows if one day maybe I can find it. However, besides that, I am an accomplished and happy man in my career and work. (Aldivan)
It is true. If there is a person who is happy and deserving it, that being is called Aldivan Teixeira Torres, and I dont say that because he is my protegee. My judgement is impartial. (Uriel Ikiriri)
Aldivan is the rose among the thorns. Among the humans, there is no one like him. His greatness is so big that God regards him as his son. (Rafael)
I am proud of being his adventure partner. (Renato)
And I of having you as a friend. (Jackeline)
Ditto. (Rafaela)
Thank you all. You, together with the whole mankind, are important to me despite sometimes not deserving it! (The son of God)
Everyone approaches Aldivan and embrace him. At that magic moment, they felt like true children of God, loved and protected. The embrace last sufficient time for the human warm to be felt. After, they break up the embrace and continue to have the tea and biscuits.
When they finish, they leave the kitchen, return to the lounge and engage in other activities. Among them, watching TV, listen to good music on the radio and chat. This keeps them entertained until bedtime, being at exactly 22H00. Good night everyone.
MimosoPesqueira
The night and dawn pass normally and finally the day breaks. One by one, the group elements awake and the hostess too. While the latter goes to prepare the breakfast, the others queue at the only bathroom to take a bath. As there were many, they hurry up bathing finishing in an hours time. After, they head to the kitchen and when they arrive there, for everyones delight they see the breakfast is ready. They sit around the table and like the night before, Jackeline serves them promptly.
In a cosy and calm atmosphere, they enjoy the typical delicacies of the northeast outback such as manioc with dry meat, couscous, tapioca and bread rolls. Everything expertly prepared by the fairy hands of our friend Jackeline. At the same time, they take the chance to know themselves better.
Congratulations, Jack. With whom did you learn to cook so well? (The seer)
Thank you. With my mother. She is an excellent cook Answered Jackeline.
Later can you give me the recipe? The seasoning is indeed excellent. (Rafaela)
Of course. There is no secret. It is only to put the ingredients in the right amount. (Jackeline)
Ok. (Rafaela)
What have you done since we parted? (Renato)
In my simple life as ever. In my work as a public servant, domestic chores and travelling on holidays, for nobody is made of steel. What about the books? Have you had much success yet?
We are doing a good job. The fruits, we will reap them later. (Renato)
Very good! (Jackeline)
Very well, Jackeline! You are example of a person who knows how to enjoy life. Mirror yourself in her, Rafaela! (The seer)
Certainly. She has already gained my admiration. (Rafaela)
Thank you. And you, Rafael and Uriel, since when have entered the seers life? (Jackeline)
We have always been part of his life but only recently God allowed us to reveal ourselves. We are archangels and we are always in the presence of God Explained Rafael.
Archangels? Here on earth? How is it possible? And why? (Asked the incredulous Jackeline)
Just that. Specifically, I am Aldivans guardian angel, I am an Ikiriri, and was created together with him. We are living important and decisive times and our presence is necessary here on earth. (Uriel)
Cool. I would like the opportunity of knowing my angel. I think that would change my life completely. (Jackeline)
Me too. (Rafaela Ferreira)
We are everywhere. Each person one way or another is in contact with his angel. It is only necessary to pay attention to the signals. (Rafael)
For example? (Jackeline)
Have you ever heard that inner voice guiding and advising you? The humans call it intuition. (Rafael)
Yes. To a lesser extent, yes. (Jackeline)
Me too. Several times. Only sometimes some voices influence us to evil. (Rafaela)
In that case, they are messengers, also known as demons. They belong to the darkness, act on the week points of the person, serve the purposes of the God of darkness. (Uriel)
It was what has happened with me. Those voices almost lead me to perdition. However, at the moment I most needed, the forces of goodness became present and liberated me. (Aldivan)
It is exactly what I need now. I need that restoring force to progress living with expectations. Teach me, son of God! (Rafaela Ferreira)
The son of God got emotional stood up positioning himself in front of everyone. Rafaela was another anguished, desperate and lost person, who cried out for help and with his experience he knew how painful was to feel alone in life. For a moment, he looks towards his inner and waits an answer from his father who loved him so much. He knew that if he asked he would listen, for in him Yahweh God found his pleasure.
With a sure and steady voice, he then speaks to his friends:
My brothers, have faith in me. God Yahweh is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient and even having so many attributes, he still loves us as children. The only condition is that we follow his commandments written in the bible and up-dated in the Bestseller Gods code. The rest happens consequently.
I want it. How can I enter the kingdom of God? (Rafaela Ferreira)
Our kingdom is the kingdom of justice, peace and love and is open to everyone. My mission now is to look for people, spread Gods message and hope that it will spread by itself. You are part of that project. Do you accept? (The son of God)
Yes. (Rafaela Ferreira)
Then from now on you are the first apostle. We need 11 more to complete the team. Welcome. (The seer)
Thank you. (Rafaela)
I also want it. (Renato)
And us? (Jackeline)
You a part of another plan. My apostles are all those that need my urgent help, specially the sinners Explained the son of God.
According to tradition, there are twelve that will become billions. (Rafael)
Let the prophecy be accomplished. (Uriel)
Thank you all. (The seer)
Saying that, the seer returned to his place and everyone restarted eating. At the end of the meal, they finally say goodbye, take their suitcases and leave the house. Now, towards Mimoso Pesqueira, a village about twelve kilometres from where they were. It was there that everything has started.
Getting to the streets, they try to enjoy the last minutes at the wonderful land of the beloved Caraíbas, suggestively called Carabais in the book The encounter between two worlds and in The opposing forces the mystery of the cave. The reason for the change in name was the preservation of this magic place, surrounded by beauty, but now this wasnt so important. I am in the person of Aldivan Teixeira Torres was ready to reveal itself.
They walk through the centre, turn left and follow the last street towards the asphalt road which would take back again to the edges of the highway BR 232. When they were at a safe distance and with no witnesses, Rafaela speaks:
I am ready! Touch me, son of God!
Aldivan didnt answer. While the others waited for his reaction, he approached his first apostle and gently embraces her. After, he moves away, concentrates and stretches the arm again touching the end of her hair. At that point, the ground shakes, the darkness of the knowledge reaches them all and then he has access to another part of the story of his dear friend:
Rafaela continued ahead with her a life after the admission exam failure. She temporarily gave up enrolling at the faculty face the difficulties and concentrate on the home chores and in the sporadic social events. Without understanding, it was there that the danger lied. In one of outings, she met Marciano Fonseca, a forty years old young man saying he was single. They started a relationship, with comings and goings to her home. In time, the relationship becomes solid, they made love for the first time and then Rafaela demanded to meet his family to become engaged. From that moment on, everything changed. Marciano Fonseca practically disappeared and whenever showed up, gave lame excuses to the demands of his girlfriend. Dissatisfied, Rafaela suspected and pressed even more. It was then that he exploded and confessed everything, he was a married man with children and could not make a commitment. Nothing made sense after this profound deception that she suffered. It was then she met this enchanting group, led by the seer who promised to help. The beginning of a new story.
The seer takes the hand away and with a smile exclaims:
Lets go brothers! There is no more place for sadness. Let bygones, be bygones. I now promise a great commitment to your causes. Accompany me to the destination, apostle and friends.
Nobody says anything, the seer starts to walk again and instinctively all obey and follow him. There start going down Caraíbas bend and being in the morning, the sun is not too strong.
Revisiting known landscapes, touching with his toes that enchanting place, they go ahead in the bends of destiny. In a good mood, the 1.5 km (A kilometre and half) of the distance feel very short. And so, they complete it in twenty minutes.
