Chapter III. An unlikely task.
Gabriel took a second to think. Speaking to the families was never an easy task. There was a reason why he and Peter were there and they needed to fulfill their purpose, no matter how hard it was. However, after seeing Danijela, Marko and Jasna, Gabriel knew he had to find the right words to say to them. Once he found them, the words to say weren't easy words to speak. Still, he knew he had to let the words out. It was necessary. "Danijela, what we are about to say will not be easy for you or your children…." began Gabriel. "A few days ago we came around some information. Important information that you may not be aware of…" "What is it?.."asked Danijela in doubt, not knowing what it was about. Peter looked at Gabriel, as if looking for approval to speak. Gabriel nodded softly and Peter began speaking. "Danijela. It's about, Luka, your husband. I know you've always been looking after him, but there's something you don't know. Something that only the angels that are indirectly connected to Luka were able to see…" said Peter
Danijela's eyes went wide. Something had happened. "What's wrong with him? What's happening to Luka??" she asked, standing up. Gabriel touched her shoulder and motioned her to sit down again. He knew she needed to take this calmly.
She complied and sat back down. "Well, your husband…never really got over your deaths. It's been difficult for him. This, you already know…" said Peter as he continued speaking. Danijela only nodded softly in response. "What you don't know, Danijela…is that he's now more lost than ever. His life and work haven't been easy since you and the kids were gone. He's lost many pieces of his heart. He's in distress and we're afraid that if we don't help him something bad could happen to him. He's lost his way and his inner strength seems to be…gone. He is truly distraught…" said Peter
This time Danijela stood up and nobody told her to sit back down. "All the time we've been here all I've wanted was for Luka to be happy. To find solace, resignation and above all, love. He always was, and still is, the light of my life and the father of my children. I don't want anything bad to happen to him. We have to do something!" said Danijela. Peter stood up as well "We know Danijela, and we are planning to help him." "But how? How will we help him?" she asked. Gabriel took his turn to answer "The Committee of Supreme Angels got together a while back. We are planning a mission to help Luka. A very important mission that will ensure us success. Luka will be fine...we wont go wrong…" assured Gabriel, rubbing Danijela's shoulder lightly. "I don't know why this is happening. I'm scared, Gabriel." said Danijela "I can't let anything happen to him. We really have to do something. We can't abandon him" she said, almost proving that she hadn't really listened to Gabriel's words. "And we will help him.." said Gabriel patiently. "We are preparing a mission that can't fail. We will help him. It will be ok. Just have some faith."
Danijela sighed "I'm sorry. You are right. I do trust you and I should have faith. I'm just worried about him." she said. "We know you are, but don't worry. We are planning to send a member of this Celestial Community to help him. He is a very valuable member and if he agrees to the mission he'll be sent to earth, and he will have direct contact with Luka and what surrounds him. He will be able to help your husband that way." announced Peter. Danijela was surprised. A direct mission to earth? This didn't happen very often. She had heard of that kind of missions, but she had never been directly involved in one of them. "I haven't heard of missions to earth in a long time. Who are you sending to help Luka?" asked Danijela in obvious curiosity.
Peter looked at Gabriel, not expecting Danijela's question and not knowing if he could answer. Gabriel took the liberty to speak, which made Peter's discomfort fade. "Danijela, my dear. The situation Luka is in is very complicated. Not any angel can help him. We need someone that can connect to him. Someone that is willing to genuinely help him and someone who doesn't expect anything in return."
That did it for Danijela, she was now totally curious. "But who, Gabriel? Who are you planning to send?" she asked. Gabriel smiled and repeated four single words "His son, of course."
