"For the mountains may be removed and the hills may shake But My loving kindness will not be removed from you(…)", says the Lord who has compassion on you.
Isaiah 54:10
I guess Archangel Rafael knows why I came here because he smiles at me tenderly and without asking any questions takes my hand and leads me to the Boss. Maybe when I'll be as old as he I'll know what goes on in the heads of other angels, too….Yeah, I want to be just like Rafael when I grow up….All kind, and good and mighty…But it's gonna take a long while before I'll even receive my wings let alone the status of archangel. Not to mention the fact that I may lose my halo pretty soon since I'm not sure if the Boss won't think of my request as of a way of breaking the deal from 11 years ago. The funny thing is I'm willing to take that chance. I guess little Maria DeLuca really did steal my heart that night when I fist saw her…
"Here goes nothing "– I say to myself and gathering all the courage I have I knock softly on the door , that, according to Rafael, lead to the Boss's residence.
"Come on in " – I hear, and I do as I'm told.
As usual the Boss sits in His throne. Normally the sole sight of it would make me go completely speechless, but this time I barely notice the beauty of it. It's something else that catches my attention.
The Boss…
He….He looks different than He normally does. It's like He's …sad, and it scares me a big time, because you see, The Boss is always so full of love and joy that it simply radiates off Him in powerful waves. But then again I heard that things on Earth are not going all quite that well these days. And I know he worries about His children. He loves them too much not to….
And as I look at His worried face I start to think that maybe it wasn't really smart of me to come to Him right now.
"Oh, it's you Gabby" – He finally notices me and I sigh with relief as an all too familiar gentle smile graces His features "How are you, child?"
"I'm fine, Lord" – I answer politely while bowing to Him – " I came to ask You for something really important to me…'
" I know" – He nods slowly and His eyes become very serious once again. I'm not sure whether it's a good sign or not. " It's about Maria DeLuca again isn't it? I thought we already talked about it, Gabby"
"Yes and I've obeyed the rules for eleven years, Lord, but now…..now it's just different. Things got worse for Maria and I just can't sit around doing nothing watching her lose faith in everything she had once believed in… She…She no longer believes in us, Boss. She doesn't believe in Love…."
"I know.." – He sighed heavily- "That's why I assigned Seth to her, he's got the experience needed to deal with such cases"
"You don't understand, Boss" – I shook my head, not caring that it really isn't the way one should talk to the Almighty – "It's because of him. It's all because of him. He could have helped her so many times but he never did. He's never with her when she needs an angels beside her. He doesn't love like he's supposed to.."
"And you think you can do better than him, Gabby?"
"yes" – I answer without any trace of hesitation in my voice – "Yes, I can."
"And why is that so?"
"Because I know her, Lord. I know her thoughts, I know her fears and her loves. I know her dreams and nightmares. I know the exact way in which I can help her believe again."
I look at the Boss and I can see that He still has some doubts so I voice out the main reason for my request "I love her, Boss. I love her the way Seth never have and will probably never be able to…"
Silence fills the heavenly room and I start to get really nervous. What if Boss says no? What if He decides to leave Maria with Seth after all? What if He takes away my halo and says that because of my stupid reasons and the lack of respect I showed Him I can NEVER become a guardian? What if He sends me to hell?????
"Alright, Gabby" – I hear instead. And I swear that I have never felt as happy as I do now.
"But there's one condition. " the Boss says and my face falls immediately. I knew that it was simply too good to be true. "You must help her regain her faith in love. If you manage to do that before the New Year's Day you will get assigned to her permanently. If not, we're back to our old deal, Gabby. Do you understand?"
I nod frantically. Of course I understand. How could I not? I run to the Boss and give Him the biggest hug before running from the room happily.
******************************
I swear on everything I have, on my halo and on shiny dress, that I'll do everything I can to make Maria believe in angels, love and herself again
And who know maybe in the process the mountains will fall again…..
