Vee

Veena said that this being has enormous head or brain and looked like an alien but seeing his posture and clothing. He or she would date back to ancient history like the Egyptian times or before Christ's era. So, if I would evaluate it as a doctor and scientific person, I would assume that, the mysterious being who is holding the earth closed in some kind of magic is the one controlling us. I also read one editor commented to Veena that maybe she was just imagining all these things and that as an author herself she could be writing and making all these up like in her or god's perspective.

Anyway, I really can't delve too much on this matter, I need to think about dad's birthday party. Ahh!, Jade has miscalled me several times and maybe I dozed off while thinking about Veena. She is one heck of a lady. I don't really know why I'm so interested in her or her work. It's like I'm drawn to her and it's like every piece of trail I discover and open leads me to her and more. People are like attracted to me and they are leading me back to the source and that's Veena. But why?, I told myself while trying to dial Jade's number and it's already almost midnight. Uh! Oh!, I can't miss dad's party, I thought texting Nate that I will be driving home tonight for dad's birthday tomorrow.

Nate told me to be careful driving this late at night. I assured him that I'll be fine. Besides, Jade needs to go back to London for her show, so, I need to....f*ck, what was that???, I shouted at a person walking in front of my car almost banging on my head light but sort of vanished when I steeped on the break in full force for the car to stop. I went out of the car and saw no one lying or even there and I was just standing in an almost dark highway. There are no cars on sight and I thought That I was going mad. So I went back in the car...but I was spooked seeing a woman already sitting beside me. She said to drive and she'll tell me her secret and I just listened. Meg, you have a gift, and I'm opening it for you. You will feel changes in your body and you will given an enormous strength and your senses will be heightened. You will feel powerless since you don't know how to use these powers, but soon when the time is right and you're ready. You will unlock the divine and you will help, save and restore many in the earth forever.

The woman was still talking and the car drove somewhere like we are in a dark tunnel then under a sea or above the clouds. It was so wonderful that I felt I was so light and I was just dreaming. When I woke up wanting to see who the lady is, I found myself in front of our family home's garage. I made it home already and I didn't even realize it until now. I was so tired and I just went out of my car, head to the door and slept at the couch.

Mom got up early and when she saw me wasted and asleep on the couch she pulled a comforter to wrap me up. It was colder now because Christmas season is just around the corner. We really wanted a surprise party but Jade and mom decided it be a as simple as possible. So, Jade woke me up and even if I haven't showered yet, we took the mango ice cream cake with dad's name on it and a candle for him to blow into. He is indeed 50 though he don't look it. Mom, Jade and I wore our party hats and brought the balloons Jade prepared to dad's room. Dad was just getting up and when he saw us walking inside the room, he gave us his sweetest smile. Happy birthday to you....happy birthday to you!, we all chanted and gave him his cake placing it on is lap while he is still seated on the bed. I gave dad his party hat which had a pony character. We all hugged him and asked to say his wishes and blow the candle.

Gin closed his eyes to think of his wishes that is to continue to have good family, prosperity and and happiness for him and his family and then blew the candle. I told him we have a surprise aside from the birthday cake and small gifts we gave him after the cake blowing. I took me cell phone out and called Nate. Nate, Janine greeted dad a happy birthday. Then Janine went to the other side of her bed and carried baby Jodie in her arms. Dad, meet your granddaughter Jodie, and Jodie, that is your grandpapa, Gin, or let's just say, your twin, Jodie!, Janine said crying with joy. Nate seated on Janine's bedside was already teary eyed even before Meg called them. Gin laughed and now in tears while touching my cellphone that as if he is touching his granddaughter. Hey dad, don't worry, we will be leaving the hospital in a few days and you'll meet your granddaughter soon. Happy birthday again, enjoy your day and see you!, Nate added and Janine gave dad a flying kiss.

We are all happy for dad and we are so excited to meet baby Jodie too that Jade, mom and I smiled while seeing my niece sleeping in all her cuteness as she was all wrapped up in pink and purple hearts cloth.

We ended up eating pizza, Creamy Ziti that you can buy at mini stores and a pony cake as dad's simple menu for his birthday. Many things happened that we all didn't have time to prepare for the special event. Dad just laughed and still thanked us for the most wonderful birthday celebration ever and giving him the most memorable gift, the video call with baby Jodie. I opened a bottle of chardonnay and red wine. Dad and mom took a glass one for each other and danced to the tune of "I wanna dance with somebody", by Whitney Houston. It was awesome and I also asked Jade to dance with me which she agreed to do happily. We had a simple birthday celebration but it was the best of all of dad's birthday celebrations.

I wasn't able to check my cell phone messages and I only did it when Jade went in the shower before after we cleaned up the kitchen with the meal boxes we ate on earlier. It's still in the middle of afternoon and I felt so sleepy since I hadn't have much when I came home early this morning. I read on a text that Belinda is in the hospital taking care of Bruno, Jade's dad. He is in serious condition and Jade needs to see him right away. But Jade needs to head back to London since she will be starring in a play tomorrow in the evening. Jade, babe, your mom texted me, actually she had been calling me since yesterday. I'm sorry I was so busy I wasn't able to check my messages. Anyway, she needs you to visit your dad in the hospital she said he's in a critical condition. I can come with you later if you like, I added explaining Belinda's messages to Jade while she is taking a shower. Oh, really!, Jade surprised with the news and she smiled at me coming out of the bathroom. Okay, we'll visit dad later. Jade didn't even complain or flinch. I wonder, maybe she already forgiven her dad and accepted that he may be weak but he tried his best to support her and her mom. Babe, what are you thinking?, you're looking at me like you don't believe that I want to see dad after all he did or after all these years, huh?.
