Chapter 19: Labyrinth Line, Part 1

That night when Jawara's father gives his son the news that his mother has returned, Jawara lost sleep, he turned over and over in bed trying to sleep, he stopped to drink some hot tea to fall asleep, but he couldn't. It was too much for him to take in the news. He sits in his bed to meditate, he asks himself over and over again why his mother abandoned them, that is a question that has haunted him throughout his life, at the tender age of 6 he suffered the abandonment of his mother, so he couldn't take it in, Blossom realizes and asks him how he is.

_Love, are you okay?

Jawara doesn't answer her, he lets out a deep sigh, for now he has many things that he must put all his attention on: recovering completely so he can drive the Airspace-wanderer again, fixing his space plane, finding a way to survive these strange natural phenomena that are seen.

_Jawara, I know you are very distressed by the situation, by this shocking truth, but I want you to know that I am here to support you.

_I appreciate it Blossom, by the way, I want to go see Yadir, he will soon be discharged.

_Very well darling, I'll see you later.

Jawara heads to the hospital to see Yadir, along the way he is reminded of his childhood, the happy moments he spent with his mother, he remembers them so clearly as if he were living them again. He arrives at the hospital a little confused, but he is ready to face his past. He knocks on Yadir's room

_Go ahead

_Hello Yadir!

_Jawara! I am so glad to see you. What a hailstorm that fell on you, but look at you, you can walk now!

_The truth is that yes, and I am very happy for you that very soon you will be leaving the hospital.

_The truth is yes, there is something you should know: Joshua came to see me yesterday, he explained about the supernatural phenomena that have been happening, but he says that now no weather service, no scientist or anyone can predict these phenomena.

_Oh what the heck! Couldn't even Joshua predict natural phenomena?

_The truth is no, not even Blossom, who is a seismologist

_Then we must prepare for the worst, but don't worry, you'll see that we will get through it.

_Jawara, you have always maintained a positive attitude regarding what is happening, but I suggest again that you don't take it lightly, in fact Joshua defined it as a labyrinth.

_Labyrinth?

_Yes, a labyrinth, because a labyrinth is a confusing place with no way out, and this is what we face, a labyrinth. The reason is because we don't know what is causing the Earth to become so complex natural disasters. This has nothing to do with the movements of the tectonic plates, it has nothing to do with the Earth, there is something that is causing all this.

_So, from what I understand, we must be ready and not underestimate what may happen.

_That's right, the news is running, there have been earthquakes of 9.8 degrees in places where nothing like this was ever seen before. The rains are no longer falling where it used to be common for it to rain all day, we are seeing abnormal things

_I want to assume that you know all this because your sister told you.

_Partly yes Jawara, but I am very worried. Who doesn't tell us that there is going to be a very strong natural disaster here

_We will have to wait and see

At the moment, they began to feel a small tremor.

_Is it shaking? - says Yadir

The tremor stopped, although Jawara was very worried since an earthquake could cause amnesia and cause convulsions to his sister Sharon. She went to her room to see her, they were able to stabilize her, the doctors told Jawara that the stronger the natural disaster, the greater the probability that she would die. The small earthquake caused Sharon a small seizure and 2 minutes of amnesia. But things had not even begun yet.

On the other hand, Blossom was in her apartment, she was preparing a delicious meal, when suddenly there was a knock on her door, she goes to see who it was, it was none other than Madeleine Harper, her husband's mother. Blossom was shocked, she really wanted to tell her all her truths at that moment, but she preferred to remain calm.

_So you are Jawara's wife! - Mrs. Harper looks Blossom up and down - apparently, Jawara made a wise decision when choosing his wife.

_What do you know about choosing a good husband or a good wife? - Blossom reproaches him - he abandoned his son, he abandoned his family! Do you think he had every right to decide that?

_That doesn't matter to you! - she answers indifferently - I'm sure you'll be like me, you're only with him because he was very successful! But when he loses everything, you'll leave him!

Blossom stares at her very intently as if to challenge her, she knows Jawara's past very well, and she knows the "reasons" why Mrs. Harper abandoned them.

_Go away

says Blossom - What have you come for?

_I came to see Jawara and Sharon, I want them to know that I am very sorry.

_Sorry? - says Blossom in a sarcastic tone - don't make me laugh, how many years have passed since you left and didn't care about your family? Did you not think about the pain that would cause such small children to leave them without their mother? Did you think about the deep pain that you caused your husband by abandoning him for that stupid way of thinking? What you do is already a real shame!

_Shut up! You don't know anything about me, and since you don't know anything about me, you have no words to judge me.

_Well, then I have to conclude that since I don't know anything about your life, I can't tell you anything, you are innocent and you don't hurt anyone.

_I always wanted the best for my children! But Edward never gave it to her, that's why I left there, I wanted to see my children become successful professionals, that my husband was also successful, our whole family was successful both at the family level and at the level of prestige, at the level of fame.

_And do you think that all of that together is possible? Let's see, tell me, how much time do you think you should dedicate to your work to achieve what you want in terms of fame and prestige?

_Look, I don't have to answer you anything! Besides, you have to accept the fact that you are my daughter-in-law, so you have no right to tell me anything.

_Oh what the hell! Now it turns out that I must obey you- Blossom says sarcastically- You left because you wanted fame and success, but since you didn't get it, you left, that's where the issue comes in, you didn't get it because we can't have everything in life, we can enjoy the material things, but the thing is that you wanted to enjoy the material things at the cost of abandoning your family, because you felt that it was a hindrance that your family got in the way of the success that you so longed for.

_You know, little woman? I like you, you defend your husband with a lot of passion. But I'll tell you this: right now you defend him because he enjoys prestige and fame because he created the airspace-wanderer. But as soon as he loses all that, you'll leave, because you'll understand that prestige and fame are extremely important in a human being.

_From what I see, you think that if that happens I'll do the same as you.

_Definitely! We all crave power in one way or another. And it won't be long before you demand that from your husband.

_Well, let me tell you that you are crazy to think that I will do exactly the same, I have a family, I have what I need, what we have on an economic level is only something secondary in our life.

_You are pregnant, right? - when Madeleine tells her this, Blossom is very surprised and does not say a word. - It is clear that you are pregnant by the look on your face, you can see that you are dizzy and you protect your belly a lot, well, soon I will have the opportunity to become a grandmother, but I will find out if it is my first grandchild or if I already have another one from my daughter Sharon.

_Yes! I am pregnant, but I do not think that her grandson is worthy of meeting her.

_We will see about that, it was a pleasure to meet you, Blossom, have a wonderful day

Mrs. Madeleine Harper leaves Jawara's house leaving Blossom indignant. Blossom feels more indignation when imagining the way she is going to approach Jawara, it was a matter of seconds before Jawara saw her mother again after so many years.

Jawara heads to the hole of shadows looking for answers, the strange thing is that every so often supernatural phenomena happen. On the way he meditates on how he will react when he sees his mother, he is even thinking if he will be able to help her despite the pain and resentment he has in his heart for having abandoned them. Arriving at the Hole of Shadows, Jawara sees that the lights were still visible, they were beautiful lights, like lights from space, screams were no longer heard, but his doubt was if humans would still disappear if they dared to go down again. Jawara became curious to go down, he wants to know why that hole was formed due to the natural disaster a little over a year ago. He begins to meditate

"I know that sooner or later I had to see my mother again, it is not surprising that now she asks me for forgiveness, as always happens in families that break up, I do not know what I am going to say to her, but I think that what is most important at this moment is to face the coming cataclysm, to make sure that it is more important, but I want to fix this situation, it is not easy for me, I miss my mother so much that I am even capable of giving her a big hug if I see her, I do not know what to do. But I must recover, fortunately they are already fixing the Airspace-wanderer so that I can drive it again, I must be well, in all my faculties to pilot my space plane again, but I must do my part"

There was an event that took Jawara out of his mind, he heard the melancholic voice of a woman singing, Jawara tried to hear if it came from the hole of shadows, but it did not come from there, the sing

era:

🎶You will always live in my heart, you will be my strength even if you are no longer with me. Why did you leave? I loved you very much, that brotherly affection I will not forget, oh oh oh, I will not forget it. When someone leaves, it is one of the strongest pains that a human being can experience.

Chorus

You are my most recognized memory, you are the sun that illuminates my agonizing sadness, you cannot hear my voice because you have ceased to exist, but even so I come to tell you that you are one of my greatest loves, oh oh oh, one of my greatest loves. That is why I tell you: I will love you forever even if you are no longer here.

We had happy times, oh oh oh, we had wonderful times, times to share, we laughed and cried together, but now you're gone and you've left a void in my heart, I know you didn't abandon me on purpose, but I still demand that you're not with me anymore, because you're one of the best things that's happened to me in life

Chorus

You're my most precious memory, you're the sun that lights up my agonizing sadness, you can't hear my voice because you've ceased to exist, but I still come to tell you that you're one of my greatest loves, oh oh oh, one of my greatest loves. That's why I tell you: I'll love you forever even if you're not here anymore.

Bridge

I will remember you, you will live forever in my heart, I will shelter you there and I will not worry that you will also abandon me from there, because our love is eternal and unforgettable, I miss you and I will miss you forever

Chorus

You are my most recognized memory, you are the sun that illuminates my agonizing sadness, you cannot hear my voice because you have ceased to exist, but even so I come to tell you that you are one of my greatest loves, oh oh oh, one of my greatest loves. That is why I tell you: I will love you forever even if you are no longer here.🎶(repeat)

While that beautiful and melancholic song was heard, Jawara looked everywhere for where it could be, it was a female voice, that voice was broken, and at the same time that she was singing, she was crying, Jawara runs at full speed to find that woman who was singing. After running so much, he sees the silhouette of a young woman in the distance. She turns around and her eyes are sky blue and shine brightly. She then turns around and leaves.

_Hey, wait! I want to talk to you!

The girl disappears. Jawara is left thinking about who she could be. While he is thinking, Joshua arrives.

_Hello Jawara.

_Hey, Joshua, I didn't expect to see you - she greets him and gives him a hug.

_I did, I imagined that at some point I would see you around here.

_Something strange just happened, but I couldn't figure out what it was.

_What do you mean? - asks Joshua

_I heard a song expressing pain, it was a female voice, I looked for it and saw in the distance the silhouette of a young woman, she turned to look at me, she had tears in her eyes, but the most striking thing was that her eyes were shining, and they were sky blue, but that color was not the sky blue we know, it was like a galactic blue, and her eyes did not look like human eyes.

_Are you sure of what you are telling me?

_Very sure- says Jawara with determination

_Things are very strange, and they seem to have no explanation, there is a lot of confusion like a labyrinth.

_By the way, Yadir told me that you had mentioned that to him, that the situation right now is like a labyrinth.

_Yes, it is a labyrinth, I will tell you why: A natural disaster occurs, an earthquake in New Jersey, but the surprising thing was that many houses, buildings and people were extracted into outer space, later the Earth opens and a hole is formed, which we call the hole of shadows, nine months passed, which was a huge calm, but an impressive event occurred: eruptions in the sea, the sea water rose like an eruption upwards and there was a strong earthquake in the sky, and in a heroic and impressive way, someone saved the plane where Iris was going, we did not know who it was.

_And now we add that three months later there was the hailstorm, hail the size of a basketball, that storm came to Germany, accompanied by hail, tornadoes, ice tornadoes, tornadoes that went into outer space, which one of them pulled the Airspace-wanderer.

_Blossom tried her best to get them out of there, but again someone other than you, Jawara, saved them from imminent destruction and death.

_Who would save them, Joshua?

_I don't know, what I do know is that we are in the middle of an enigma, we are on the "labyrinth line."

_Hey, another thing, a girl fixed your truck where you have your studio to predict storms, who was the one who fixed it for you?

_If I'm honest with you, I didn't know what her name was.

_Because a mysterious girl also fixed my sister's car so that it could withstand strong blows and would not have an accident easily, although look how it ended up-says Jawara thoughtfully and with a bit of sarcasm.

_The thing is that we don't know who it is, hey Jawara, isn't it the

Same girl?

Jawara is thoughtful, there are many issues to resolve, but they were very difficult and confusing issues.

_The truth is that I can't guarantee anything Joshua, but what I can assure you is that all this is very confusing.

_Yes, the truth is that yes, hey, but changing the subject a little, how do you feel now that you know that you are going to be a father?

_The truth is that I am very happy - says Jawara very enthusiastically - but at the same time I am worried, having a child entails a great responsibility, and now I have on my back the task of finding a solution to survive or face all this cataclysm that is happening.

_Hey Jawara, do you really think it is possible for human beings to avoid a terrible cataclysm?

_As I said a little over a year ago, life is a journey, but sometimes it is a labyrinth. I believe that we can, I believe that we are on the journey through the labyrinth, but sooner or later we will find the way out, and I firmly believe that this way out will be to discover how to avoid this cataclysm.

_Should you? - says Joshua surprised by Jawara's conviction - it is that in all the news they say that scientists do not believe that they will be able to stop this cataclysm, what was seen is not normal at all. In addition, the end of the world that many expected is happening in a way that one would never have imagined. But I am surprised by your conviction that we can find a way out, because facing the end of the world it is not something that is simple just like that

_They do not believe because they have not put all their effort into investigating, but I believe that I can find the way in which the Earth does not live such a cataclysm.

Jawara looked very convinced, his friends and family have tried to tell him that he better accept with modesty that there is a great probability that they cannot stop the cataclysm, besides, when it comes to nature, there is no way to control it

_Look Joshua, maybe you are right and we cannot do this, but I already have a powerful tool that can help me save many people, and more so adding to that person who has helped many people.

_We do not know who she is, we do not even know her name, I think we should not trust her

_You are right, better as a team we work together to find a solution.

_Yes! That is what we will do

_Now you swim like a fish in water, my son- a woman's voice is heard, to his surprise, it was Madeleine Harper, Jawara turns to look and freezes, he cannot even move.

_Did you miss me son? - says Madeleine - how much you have grown and matured, I wanted to see you so much.

"I wanted to see you too, mom," Jawara said, her voice breaking.
