FALLEN

My Angel 3

Hmm! But you can’t take your eyes off him, so, I figured, you and him have a thing!, Kochiko said teasing me. You know if you like him, go and tell him. I learned in the U.S. that if you like someone you need to assert and make the effort to let them know how you feel. At least if he doesn’t like you , then you’re just friends. At least you know, right. But if he does, like you, then, it’s a win-win situation. You know we haven’t been close ever since, but I am here if you need someone to talk to, besides, we’re cousins, Kochiko explained sincerely. Okay, I need to mingle with the Shinseki o kitta (hung up relatives) hehe!, she added walking towards my uncles and aunties at the right side of the ballroom. Well my family and relatives love danshingu (dancing), so no wonder why our villa has a ballroom for “zumba”, jujutsu, aikido, karate and kendo practices, special events. The place can be rented for concerts and important gatherings. Since Kyoto is farther, we needed to have a place to hold events for the city.

Tell Mark, how I feel. But what do I feel? And does he fell the same way for me? We just met a month ago and as if I still don’t know who he really is? I added thinking about the fact that he fell from heaven and I don’t know where he really came from too.

Every one is eating, some are dancing, others are chatting about the past and their families, experiences. Since we hold our family reunions once a year, we needed to catch up on the gossip and the happenings, right, haha!

I just needed some fresh air, so I went out the floor and walked to breathe the air in front of the villa.

Hi! Belle, a man’s voice not very far, said. Ah!, oh, Mark. What are you doing here? I asked shyly. What are you doing, here???, He asked thoughtfully. Just wanted to be alone for a bit, how was the party, did you have fun. That is my whole family, pretty handful, hihi!, I said laughing.

Oh, them, I love your family. And every minute I stay here, I don’t want to leave, ever. But I can’t since I needed to do what my Master asked me to do, Mark added with sadness on his voice.

Mark, you’ve been here for a month now but I still haven’t had a slightest idea who you really are and where you came from. Where did you come from, Mark? I asked curiously.

If I tell you, you won’t pass out or fear me, okay!, Here it goes, Mark added breathing in and out. While me looking curious and attentive, wanting him to start talking and tell his story.

He told me that his name is Mortha and he is the commander of the Army Angels…..It took him an hour or two to explain to me who he is and how he fell from heaven. I didn’t believe him at first but when his wings (like the eagle’s wings but whiter and super huge) came out of his back, Ahhhhhhh!! I really wanted to run and pass out at the same time. Because it’s rare that you see a real live angel. Better yet, he said that they normally don’t have gender or as if they look like a man and a woman at the same time. But, when I look at him he is a man to me. He said that his mission is to find out what is wrong with the people of the world and what can he do to help out and then advice God what is the cause of us being distant from Him.

Well, first and foremost, I told him as a feminist and nature defender, I explained my responsibility as a woman who believes in racial equality. Though I don’t grow my arm pit hair long, which is typical for feminists to do. I uphold the belief that all men and women are created equal even in a diversity. Whether you are heterosexual or a part of the LGBT community, you are entitled to have dignity, respect and rights. Then, as a defender of nature or Earth, I told him the importance of biodiversity, helping the world bring back the beauty and holistic nature of the world including the safety, protection and preservation of wild life or animals, plants and climate.

Belle!, Now I understand, why. God knows and understands your feelings and pains. But he is just curious why you are afraid to come to him when you’re in need and trust your money, popularity, position more than Him? Mark added, though I told him that Mortha as a name would be weird for the people here to understand, so we decided to stay with the name Mark for him.

But Belle, is the feeling I have like, because, you know….ah!!! , I like you, I mean, like, like you. Is it natural, because it is the first time I felt this emotion. And I want this feeling, like I want to be near you always. I want to be there for you and protect you. I don’t want other men, ah!...talking or be near you…God said that jealousy is a sin and I never felt it ever. But with you I do, is that bad or …..Mark said stopping to look at my reaction. Now he's looking at me, pleading for an explanation.

Mark, I feel the same way with you too. Though, I never fell for a guy before. I had crushes but it’s different with you. I like you too, so much. I said smiling back at him and moving closer toward Mark, that now we’re only five inches apart.

Really!!!!, Ha ha! So this is a good feeling then. I …..I…love you! Belle….. Mark said holding my hands and hugging me tightly. That while doing so, he suddenly stopped and his lips went down to kiss me, just a smack. But then when the sensation got deeper, he kissed me hard. The kiss was wanting, as if he has never felt so alive, so happy and blessed with the heat, affection and craving like this before. Ay ha…ha.ha!! Sorry, Mark said panting. Marrkkk…. It’sss…o…kay!, Me, trying to take a breath or two because of the kiss.

Mark and I have been very close after that night when I saw him fell from the sky. We ate, worked happily at the store, ride the bicycle, went on picnics together at the lake or some park near the lake. We grew very fond of each other. And Mama, my little sister and grandpa loved him so much that they wanted him to stay with us as long as he likes.

To tell you the truth, I was at the lake wishing, praying for a miracle. For someone to hear me, longing for a friend, a lover that would share his life and all with me always. I think Mark was the answer, the gift God gave me. But until when. Mark said if it's time, he will return to heaven to report to God everything he saw, felt and experienced here in the world. He said that he wanted to travel in some countries near Japan to know more about the people of the world. And he will be gone every once in a while to fly and scout the Earth for more issues, problems, events that happen, which he can resolve, and if he can't he needed to pray and ask graces from God for them and create a miracle for the world to see and feel the Almighty's love, that is forever.
