POWER OF LOVE

Power of Love

 Gisel woke up finding Victory awake and laughing like she’s mumbling something and called someone, Nana!. Aha! baby, you can talk?, Gisel ran up to the little girl and saw an illuminating light covering her entire body. Huh!, you’re calling me, my sweet little darling?

Then Gisel felt a strange though positive energy enveloping her and the room. Em is still asleep and as if someone was here then it went out of the window like a ghost but like a swift but melancholy spirit touching my heart and soul with music…Beatrice???

           Baby Victory is now sleeping soundly. Gisel checked the clock hanged on the wall in front of her facing Em’s bed and the crib, two in the morning. Better rest for tomorrow will be a new day and busy one for Lala’s consultation.

           “It’s been years since we all have been trying to solve our issues on climate, economy and sciences. We must act now just like what our ancestors did before to achieve a world we have now. Though they might have second thoughts or fears on implementing measures to secure the earth and its people. I am not afraid to make the necessary changes to aid humanity by eradicating poverty, developing agricultures, farming, enhancing technology, business and reinforcing equality, peace and strengthening political and social bonds between leaders, businessmen / women, entrepreneurs and defenders of the world. I am the king of Tunisia and I will uphold the truth and what’s best for my country, for this organization and for the world until I can no longer do in my last days,” Maxim explained bravely at the podium in the conference hall of India’s Trade Centre in Calcutta. The leaders of the world clapped their hands and shouted praise to the king. The organizers and Michael stood to congratulate Maxim when he went down the podium and sat back to his seat. Michael, Maxim said while shaking his hands. Maxim, your highness, I am so glad you came and thank you. This means a lot to the business community and our projects on eradicating poverty and climate problems here and in the world, Michael added smiling at the king. Let’s proceed to lunch!, Michael invited the Maxim along with his security men following him and guarding his back and sides from attacks. Leaders, political representatives, business tycoons and defender organizations flocked the mess hall of the centre. Caterers are busy serving the guests and Maxim is with Michael and the other members of the organizing team and some presidents or prime ministers such as India’s, Polynesia’s, Great Britain, Canada, Australia and the U.S. As they were eating, each leader asks questions on Maxim’s views on certain topics like that of equality or agriculture and climate crises. He answered them calmly and politely, thinking of many ways to practice and uphold equal rights between men and women or the LGBT Community, diverse race or religion. For climate he pointed out that all can help in stopping the use of fossil fuels and increase forestation measures and farming all through-out the world. And lastly, in erasing poverty or unequal distribution of wealth, all must practice transparency and honest, wise spending of money to what’s most important, when, where and to whom. Programs delivering equal portions or wealth for a country would take patience, true compassion and a loyal servant leader and assistant to implement this all the time, every time.

           The leaders nodded and smiled from King Maxim’s wisdom. He is now eating his meal and still thinking about his family back in Polynesia and how they are doing now. He has been away for five days now. He misses them so much he could cry in the middle of this luncheon.

           Lala and Leonardo went to the hospital to do her laboratory works. Her ultrasound will come next after the painstaking long wait since there are several patients in Dr. Stevens clinic in the 2nd floor of the hospital. Don’t worry, it’ll be fine, okay, Leonardo assured Lala who is now calming down after her series of lab, checks, from blood o stools.

           Waldo flew to India to check on Maxim and if he has something to do for him since he is still at the conference. Maxim welcomed Waldo at his suite in one of the hotels the organizers set to take by the leaders of the world in India. The hotel is just near the Trade Centre in Calcutta.

           Back at the mansion. Em felt a lot more better and can stand and work around the house now. Leopold is still asleep and making up for the lost night sleeps and tiresome times caring for little Victory. Gisel too is still resting since she woke up to help Lala prepare for her stuff she needs for the laboratory testing in the hospital. Tessa has been tired since she kept Lala safe and comforted for many days since the girl had been feeling series of pains in her tummy. The whole family is recuperating from all the happenings and experiences new to them. But all are strong, hopeful, happy and loving each other as they go about their businesses for the day.

           Michael, Lala’s dad called his daughter to say hi and check up on her condition. He promised to visit her in Polynesia joining Maxim in his jet to be able to see her at long last.

Waldo set the perimeters well and checked on the area the royal plane will park at. Maxim, Michael and his security came to the tarmac to aboard the jet. Waldo, on the other hand made the place secure by moving first to board it and then went down the staircase to see if there are strange individuals around the area. Since he felt that everything’s okay, he advised through a walkie-talkie, that it is safe to board the plane now. Maxim, Michael and the king’s security walked towards the plane and up the stairs. When a man stood in front of the plane and stopped it from running towards the runway. The pilot is shocked and asked Waldo what to do. Waldo didn’t say anything to the king and advised to run the man over. The strange man held a sign saying, “No peace, no equality and no change if we don’t change”. The pilot was scared ofcourse but he needed to protect the king, so he ran the plane and tried not to hit the man but he thinks the protester jumped out of the way and was safe. Crazy man!, the pilot thought. Haa! Whew!

           Good work! Waldo said to the pilot when he went to the pilot’s cabin. Michael was looking at the window shrugging his shoulders when he saw a man shouting something when the plane almost got him. I think he was cursing, hmmm!.

           Maxim and Michael rested on the flight back to Polynesia. Waldo and the security men kept alert. The crew man and woman served their guests and smiled the entire flight.

           Lala and Leopold waited for the laboratory and ultrasound results. Nowadays it will only take 30 minutes for results to get. An ultrasound only takes seconds and doesn’t need anything pressed, stuck or pinned in you or inside you. It’ll just like scanning a paper or photocopying a document, it’s so hi-tech you can get it with no sweat.

           Dr. Stevens read Lala’s file and checked on the results. She has ovarian tumor and can easily be taken out by surgery or if not with the new technology and medications she can just take medicines to eliminate the tiny plum out of her system in no time. But it’ll take three months for the plum to be eliminated completely. Lala agreed to take medications and advised her dad about it through a phone call. Michael suggested to buy off a land he owned in Polynesia to be Lala and his’ own place to stay in. Leonardo and Lala will be married soon anyway, so they can use the house that is near the MV Mansion. Since the neighbour left the place recently, Michael had the chance to find the owner and leased it right away.

           Gisel helped him out by talking to her neighbors keeper and since the house is being sold, she advised Michael about it and got a good price for the house. Michael, Lala and Leonardo will be living there tomorrow. Maxim and Michael will be arriving in Polynesia at about two hours and Lala is so excited to see her loving dad.
