Labyrinth, Eclipse, parte 2

_ It seems that things can calm down, love- said Blossom- but you must listen to others, your father was very clear in his advice that he gave you and I agree: as much as we love people and peace, as you do, when selfishness and pride for all our achievements arrive, whether academic, secular, or whatever you want, our virtues, qualities and abilities can become our worst weaknesses.

_ Shorty, it seems that you modified my father's advice- said Jawara

_ You should listen to him, I am your fiancée and I love you, more than anything in life, your father and I tell you this for your own good.

_ I know that yes, my beautiful flower, I know that yes, but do not believe that it is as easy as it seems.

_ I know, we all fight against it, but you will see that it is possible. For example, the young man who came to.....

_ Yes, yes, yes, I know, look my queen, let's enjoy our moment, not only did we commit ourselves, my sister did with your brother. I have worked hard to make people happy and I will continue to do so as long as I breathe, but I also need my moment to enjoy what I have achieved....

Another 2.7 magnitude earthquake shakes New Jersey, leaving another very large surface crack, causing Blossom to almost fall into it, but Jawara holds her in time before she falls.

_ Hold on!

_ Don't let go!

Another aftershock shakes causing Jawara to lose her balance and fall, but a young woman arrives and saves them, it was Melanie.

It was Melanie, Andrei Winterhall's wife, she helped Jawara and Blossom

_ I got it, Mr. Malenfant! Hold on to me and help your fiancée

They got on very successfully, Blossom and Jawara were grateful.

_ We thank you very much, very much miss, really- said Jawara

_ I'm madam- said Melanie showing her wedding ring- I'm Melanie Winterhall.

_ Are you Denahi Winterhall's wife?- asked Blossom

_ No, he's my brother-in-law, my husband is Dr. Andrei Winterhall, internist and son of Agnar Winterhall.

_ Winterhall!- exclaimed Blossom- yes, I know who he is, a very wealthy man and one of the most powerful people in the United States, he passed away, I know, it was recently, I'm very sorry.

_ Thank you very much for your condolences.

_ Listen, and how do you know that Blossom is my fiancée? I know that many people around the world already know me but, they still don't know that I'm engaged.

_ What is visible is often true, and your fiancée is already wearing an engagement ring, very beautiful indeed, so that's how I knew she was your fiancée.

_ I want to apologize to you, Mrs. Winterhall- said Blossom

_ Why do you say that? You don't have to say it.

_ Yes, I must, my fiancé has largely ignored the end of the world, but you, from what I see, are a nurse, right?

_ Yes, proudly.

_ He contemptuously told his brother-in-law, Mr. Denahi Winterhall, that the end of the world was impossible, but it is evident that something much bigger is coming, something that we cannot even imagine.

_ My love! What is wrong?- said Jawara, somewhat embarrassed by what his fiancée was telling Melanie about him.

_ Jawara, I'm sorry if I offended you, but Mr. Denahi is right, we are underestimating the truth, we have never seen anything like this, not even in the best astronomical events.

_ Listen! It is not my intention to divide you and cause controversy what my brother-in-law or my husband can tell you. I have not heard from my brother-in-law Denahi for a long time, only my husband has told me about him.

_ Well, he is a young man, of university age, with dark skin, not black, but dark, very dark- said Blossom.

_ My brother-in-law Jaidev is black, but a type of black like those in India and the British, my father-in-law is British, and his brother and his other sister are black.

_ You are a nurse- said Blossom- what do you recommend we do?

_ Obey the curfew, the nurses received other instructions, so I must return to attend to the wounded and the victims of the droughts caused by that eclipse that is very strange.

_ We understand, thank you very much, and well, as a reward, if something were to happen....-Jawara lets out a big sigh- count on the Airspace-Wanderer, if he knew that I am engaged it is logical that he knows of my creation.

_ Not exactly- said Melanie- I did not go to his graduation, I have been too busy, but I have seen his speech that is all over the media, I support his creation, Mr. Malenfant, but, with humility and all respect I will tell you this: do not be overconfident, no human being is fully prepared to face a cataclysm, even the bravest and most powerful warrior and the most powerful commander of warriors suffers considerable consequences in situations like this.

_ How can you know that?- said Blossom- if something like that has never happened to be able to give that argument, that argument has no foundation!

_ I am a nurse, Miss Blossom, human life is the most important thing, even the most powerful or the most intelligent being.

Actual has humanity, and for that reason, we suffer in one way or another..

_ He speaks as if he could predict the future- said Jawara somewhat annoyed.

_ No one can predict the future, our decisions do impact our future, but an unforeseen event and a bad moment happen to everyone.

_ He speaks like my father.

_ Well, you should listen to him, Mr. Malenfant, with your permission.

The eclipse was beginning to clear, 15% of the moon had withdrawn from the Sun, but up to that point, fear and panic were getting out of control, but Jawara was firm, and he did not let that bring him down, he loved people with all his being, but he knew that if he lost his sanity, he would not come out alive.

A young American oceanography student was carefully watching the movements of the sea and how it responded to the movements of the eclipse, using the scientific method but also her own ideas, she was writing down her theories. The sea was beginning to recede, but not enough for her to predict a tsunami, not even for scientists who study tectonic plates.
