That night Domon went in to tuck Eva in bed. He picked her up and gently
tucked her in. Eva kissed his cheek and snuggled down beneath the covers.
Domon kissed her forehead. Eva wrapped her arms around his neck as he bent
down.
"I love you Daddy", she whispered in his ear.
"I love you too baby", Domon said. Tears threatened to fall from his eyes. He missed her so much while he was gone. He loved his little daughter so much. She was his little angel.
Domon let her go and laid her back down. He walked to the door and turned off the light. Eva was already fast asleep. He smiled at his daughter's sleeping form and closed the door as he walked out into the hallway. Rain walked out of Kyogi's room at about the same time.
Together they walked into their own room and were quickly fast asleep. Domon's arms were wrapped tightly around Rain's waist. He kissed her cheek and closed his eyes letting sleep wash over him.
The next day as Eva walked (or to put a fine point on it skipped) home she bumped into a woman standing on the street corner. The woman held small pamphlets in her arms and they were scattered everywhere as both fell to the ground.
"Oh my gosh! I am so sorry", Eva said as she helped the woman picked up the pamphlets.
"Oh that is quite all right dear", the woman told her.
Eva's eyes looked over the pamphlets. She held one in her hand. There was a picture of a cross on it. It had a blue background and white letters. The cover read, "The Best Friend You Will Ever Have."
"What are these for?" Eva asked.
"Well a few years back I was handed one of these and I met my best friend", the woman told her.
"My best friend is my brother Kei", Eva told her. "Is your best friend as close to you as Kei is to me?"
"Well my best friend sticks closer to me than a brother", the woman told her.
Eva nodded her head and began to look through the packet. To her surprise the pages told a story. This story took place long before the Gundam fight. It was even before there was electricity. It was about a man named God who lived in a place called Heaven. No people could ever get to Heaven because it was so far away. God created the whole universe. He even created people. God had once walked with people and people had a close relationship with God. Then people sinned. God could not be around sin because he was perfect. Well the fact that people weren't allowed in his presence anymore made God very sad. He had created people so that he could love them and they love him. Yet the sin in the world couldn't allow that. So God decided to send his son Jesus. Jesus was perfect like God was and God had Jesus die on a cross like the one on the cover of the pamphlet. Then three days later Jesus rose from the dead and went to Heaven to be with God. All people have to do is believe in God and admit that they are sinners and ask Jesus to come and live inside their hear and make them new and clean of sin again.
The story fascinated Eva. "So who is your best friend?" Eva asked.
"Jesus is sweetheart and he can be your best friend too", the woman told her.
"So the story is true?" Eva said.
"Every word", the woman answered.
"So how do I ask Jesus to come and live inside my heart?" Eva asked.
"We pray dear, would you like me to pray with you?" the woman said.
Eva nodded her head. "Well then kneel down with me and bow your head and repeat after me", the woman said. Eva did as she was told. "Dear Lord, I admit that I am a sinner."
"Dear Lord I admit that I am a sinner", Eva repeated.
"And I ask your forgiveness for all the bad things I have done."
"And I ask your forgiveness for all the bad things I have done", Eva once again echoed.
"Please come into my life and guide me in your way."
"Please come into my life and guide me in your ways."
"Forever and ever amen."
"Forever and ever amen", Eva said. "He's here now", Eva said patting her heart. "I can feel him I know he's here", Eva said with such a genuine and adult like passion it was hard to believe that a little girl was standing before her. "Oh my!" Eva suddenly exclaimed as she looked at her watch. "Mama is going to be so worried I must go", Eva called as she darted off and stuffed the pamphlet in her pocket.
"I love you Daddy", she whispered in his ear.
"I love you too baby", Domon said. Tears threatened to fall from his eyes. He missed her so much while he was gone. He loved his little daughter so much. She was his little angel.
