The Agreement by Alexandre Rodrigues - HTML preview

FOURTH MOVEMENT RESURRECTION

Nelson entered the mayor's office at 16h. The secretary said that Mr Theobald had actually left a comment for Gabriel, handing him a folded paper. He had some nervousness on her part, had an appointment with Lisa Theobald without knowing the end of the day and did not want to be late. Nelson took the paper, thanked and went quickly to the house of Ben. Arthmes asked him to go and ask the prefecture, after the meet for a meeting and he did not want to be late.

- "TODAY, AS 21h, NEW CITY, CENTRAL SQUARE, ONLY GABRIEL."

Junior read aloud what was written.

- How did you know there was this ticket?

- I did not know Nelson, - explained Arthmes - thought it would still be in the capital, but, as I know the way "they" think and how we have not been found, I decided to try. And "he" wants to talk to you, Gabriel.

- He will not! - Ana shouted. - You are the guy that is a trap.

- Where is the place?

Gabriel asked seriously.

- The New Town is a place where housing is being built by the city. At night it is deserted, poorly lit, the location is not trusted. - Nelson said.

Arthmes looked deeply into Gabriel, who was silent, thoughtful. Anyway Arthmes said:

- You're not alone, Gabriel.

- He will not! - Ana repeated this time screaming.

- Yes I, Anna

Gabriel spoke without changing the voice, which made Ana explode into a thousand logical arguments for him staying, Gabriel heard everything impassively, until it ended.

- Many people have already died, I love being alive and I know you must be right, but I have to go and do what is right.

- Your right, Gabriel, is not good for me! - Ana's eyes sparkled and begged with tears.

- What is right, sometimes it's not good for everyone, but Hannah remains the right and has to be done.

Ana said no more, tears flooded her eyes and she ran into the bedroom, he thought he had lost his sister and now Gabriel. Who would be next?

- Strange place and day to make an appointment. - Ben spoke low but heard Junior.

- How so?

- Today has a reception in the Grand Hall, adjacent to the city hall. Strange "it" mark so far.

Ben left the room. Junior squinted thoughtfully.

The secretary of the mayor arrived with heart pounding in discreet restaurant. There was a mixture of anxiety and worry, she was twenty years old. From your experience with Elisa, something changed, his life changed, no, no life, your way of seeing life. Their marriage was not unhappy, on the contrary, the husband was

understanding and friend, a partner for all hours, but ... experience ...

knew that the will had appeared after speaking with Mr Theobald, everything was magical, something that left full, happy. And happiness does not appear every day.

He sat down at the table. Elisa lay ahead. Do not know how to start talking, she wanted more, wanted always, every day. Elisa smiled and touched her hand, she left.

- It was just a moment? It was only at that moment? Asked the secretary.

- I've done many things in my life, many things. I am not ashamed, but I do not feel proud of them.

- Everyone talks of his past, Elisa. The difference is that I want to talk about the future.

- Do you have a husband and children ...

- The children will always be my and my partner will have to understand my choice, because it is mine and not his. What I want to know is you. What do you choose?

- You make things look easy!

- No, Elisa, they are not, but living a lie is wrong. I'm sure my partner does not deserve to be cheated on, then I will give him the opportunity to be happy with someone else.

- I want to try - Elisa ducked his head - but ... and if it does not work? She smiled.

- If it does not work, we'll be great friends and continue to live in the best way.

Elisa smiled, approached the desk and kissed her lightly, nobody noticed.

- What will you do?

- I'll talk with my now ex-partner and prepare for divorce.

- I have a double bed at home, moreover, the apartment is mine and my sister's.

- Does it not going to bother me? Elisa smiled.

- No. I think she will like to even bet you will say: "Finally you're taking way, Elisa."

They both laughed, breathed relieved, because one does not know what the other was thinking and, in the end, they discovered that a thought in another.

20hs50.

Nelson stopped the car in a poorly-lit streets of the New Town. There rebar, many piles of sand and bricks scattered not only this, most every street. The houses were all the same and some still in the skeleton. The place they stopped, they could see, poorly lit, the central square.

Gabriel tried to argue at Ben's house, but Nelson was adamant about going, besides, he knew the whole place. Gabriel, reluctant, agreed to stay out asking protected. Arthmes was not, and still were looking for Junior to find out with Ana Elisa, who had called.

The night gave macabre tones abandoned the place, every shadow seemed to hide a demon. Gabriel left the car and started walking toward the square, remembered the last conversation with Arthmes.

- ... "He" you know, Gabriel, their desires, frustrations, weaknesses, fears, "he" is his personal demon.

- "He" will influence me. How can I beat him?

- You are a good person, Gabriel, everything that happened in his life to date has molded his character, his personality. The bad experiences that happened did ripen and become what it is. Is this a way that will beat him, leaving the place of child and becoming a parent, then will use the Law of Attraction and nothing, absolutely nothing, will change your desire.

- Gabriel Run!

The cry came from Nelson, Gabriel looked to the side and saw the boy with the gun in hand. Desperate, he ran one of the streets. The gunman tried to aim, but there was little light. He also ran, starting a chase through the dark streets. Gabriel's heart gave leaps, making heavy legs. Unfortunately, the street that was dead came. Desperate, Gabriel thought about going back, but the guy came pointing his revolver at him 38.

- Lost man!

Gabriel closed his eyes, the sound of the shot pierced the silence of the night, there was no pain. "Will die so?" This thought quickly faded when the guy in front of you tried to say something, rolled his eyes and his legs bowed, he fell before the astonished gaze of Gabriel, who, lifting his head, still saw Junior holding a pistol pointed at the corpse. Gabriel was at hand and gently pulled the gun from the hands of Junior.

- Thank you.

Junior shook his head, could not believe what he had done, but no regrets. He was suspicious from the start of the ticket and, after leaving with Ana Elisa, was the site of encounter with her car carrying a gun Ben, arrived in time to see the persecution and had no doubts of what to do.

A second shot struck the night, they looked at each other and Gabriel put into words his only thought:

- Nelson!

The two ran back to the car. Nelson was lying in front of this with his hand on his chest bloodied. They were on their knees and lifted the body of his friend half-dead, he breathed with difficulty, until just stopped.

- I told him to drop the gun!

Despair came armed boy who was only four meters Nelson. Gabriel and Junior had not noticed, just stared at his friend. The boy screamed incoherently, his eyes were filled with tears.

- I told him: "Your Nelson, drop the gun!" But he did not let go.

Elias gestured nonstop. When he saw the man with a hunting gun in hand, did not recognize. Nelson, with a kidney transplant, saved the life of Elijah's mother has since helped the family with food, clothing and friendship.

- I cried, I asked! He said he would talk to my mom!

Gabriel stood up slowly and Junior Elijah reached the pinnacle of despair, fell silent and just stared at the body of Nelson, after Gabriel and began to cry softly.

- "His” Theobald! - The cry of Elijah injured over the night shots.

So, still looking for Gabriel raised the weapon, placing it in the ear shot. Time seemed to stop, Gabriel leaned against the brick wall, his eyes raced from one body to another, the silence was heavy, the shadows were heavy, the touch of death came not gentle, could not cry, the breath was out of sync. The friend Nelson met his son, and Elias unhappy with all his demons. And Gabriel? He felt emptiness, emptiness that gives impotence. Nothing, not even a thought. More . something had to appear. Came from the depths of his soul, the underground, a willingness unquestionable. She took her body, enveloping him, there was only one reason, and no doubt a thrill.

Junior watched the whole scene. It was no longer the spoiled kid, not felt a man, just a Human Being trapped in a web of events.

Gabriel moved, touched the arm of Junior, who accompanied him without saying anything. Ana entered the car, neither of them looked back. Junior drove at speed, when they were stopped in front of the desk, next to City Hall, the Main Hall. Junior did not leave the car. Gabriel descended, was poorly dressed, but still entered the huge hall, his eyes traveled up to find Tybalt. Do not know him, but he who was "it" and began walking toward her. Theobald chatted excitedly, holding pretended to smoke a cigar, but when looked at Gabriel, everything disappeared, the two have not seen or heard anyone else.

- You are hard to die.

Despite the joke Gabriel said nothing, just looked, there in front of all was the cause of their problems, there was "their" problem, evil personified, but it was "his" evil. Theobald, at his silence, smiled trying to destabilize it, but Gabriel was impassive, his smile faded and breathing Theobald became apprehensive.

- I want you tonight at midnight on the machine that brought him. Theobald turned his head as if he took a slap, his eyes showed surprise, there was a will known in those words. And "he", which followed Gabriel in the bars and the frustration that saw him refuse opportunities to improve your financial life and sentimental, more than once, for fear of risking. Now he was facing a man who claimed he wanted and no doubt that would. And sure was so great that Gabriel turned his back and started walking toward the exit. Instantly, Theobald felt the air around him, the energy of the Law of Attraction, the universe was reshaping the will of Gabriel quickly, he was ready. Theobald still looked, looking for Gabriel, but he had already left the room, was getting into the car.

- Where?

- For Ben's house, Junior.

Junior took off with the vehicle, neither of them looked back.

- Tell me all of God!

Laboratory. Home of Benjamin.

- You would not understand - Arthmes smiled - no one would understand. There are no words in the vocabulary of the Earth to describe it.

- But you've seen him!

- I saw his glory, Ben.

- How come "His Glory"?

Arthmes was silent, looking for the right words, it would be difficult to explain to Benjamin.

- The glory of God is when "IT" moves, or when "HE" loves, which is the same thing. Each movement brings up a galaxy. "IT" is the strength of the transformation of everything and in everything that exists. When you see the brightness of his glory, that is only allowed to angels, we do not see anything else.

- Anything else? Then the angels ... Arthmes laughed.

- We are all blind Ben. We no longer see, because we feel everything around us, all the energy that makes up the universe, including the mental energies of Humans.

Ben sat down, thought for a moment and looked at Arthmes.

-Ever wanted to talk to you, understand them, maybe help humanity grow spiritually and suddenly ... you look so ... human.

Arthmes slowly smiled. Ben could feel his face was lighter.

- Thanks for the compliment Ben.

- This was a compliment?

Arthmes eyes were full of tears.

- The more than two thousand years Ben, swapped an eternity for a moment, and knew the result nonetheless decided to experience new sensations. When it was over he had lost more than the heavens, I lost my nature. I have tried to understand what I am since I started this adventure - and smiled again. - Let me explain: a demon is a demon, no matter what you do, its nature is cold reasoning without caring how to get the results. And an angel is an angel, his nature is to protect, is to obey, period.

Who knows ... Human nature can be! Arthmes laughed loudly now.

- I doubt it! But ... at the moment ... is very good to have the best of both worlds.

- And perhaps this is its nature.

- Can be ... The important thing is that I am very proud of them, my friend.

The lab door was burst open by violence, Ana appeared breathless and crying.

- Ben, Arthmes ... Nelson died.

They accompanied her to the room, Gabriel and Junior were there and told him what had happened in New Town. Then Gabriel told what happened in the Great Hall.

- What do we do?

- Let's hope Ana - spoke Arthmes. - Let's wait until midnight.

- Believe me, really, that he will come?

23hs55

- I believe Ben, - and looked Arthmes Gabriel sat impassively - it will come.

All were in the lab, Walter and Julia less.

- This does not mean that I will do something!

A loud voice came from the door, everyone looked, Gabriel least, there was Tybalt. Gabriel stood up and stepped forward.

- Enter the machine.

Theobald laughed and shook his head.

- Not so, Gabriel. You used the Law of Attraction as well, but unlike the angels - spoke and looked Arthmes - we have the option to choose from, these sticks are not sent.

- You killed a lot of people!

Theobald turned to the owner of the voice, smiled, pointed his finger and said in a tone of jest.

- You Ana's sister Elisa. Yeah, you're right, but only partly, which actually kills people are their own fears, their own secrets. I just remembered that they existed. Look at Elisa, is happy, and you know why? Because it took and faced his own demons.

- Enter the machine. Theobald opened his arms.

- Gabriel ... think well, what you had before? A life frustrated deleted. Can I change it, I can give you what you want. Your dreams, remember? His books will come out of the drawer, be admired, a better life without hardship ...

Theobald's eyes were red. Ana was going to say something, but the Arthmes contained, knew Gabriel would walk this road alone.

Several images of Gabriel spent in reverie, family, love, sex, work, nothing was left out. Mainly their sorrows.

- ... This is the time to fix your life, this is our moment. Wake up! And now do what must be done.

- No need to wake up - and said quietly staring. - I have no more secrets, this is kid stuff.

Theobald looked incredulous, but Gabriel continued.

- Adults have no secrets to themselves. Adult transform the secrets on experience with this mature and become masters of their lives.

Theobald gave a sneer.

- Enter the machine Theobald, has nothing more to do here.

Gabriel's voice was resolute and Theobald, serious, and walked to the DECONAM entered, turned and looked at everyone, then smiled at Arthmes.

- Lucifer sent reminders and alerts do not forget! Arthmes looked serious.

- Tell him you do not forget. - Was the answer.

- Gabriel! We have a problem! - Ben's voice was apprehensive.

- What is it?

- By my calculations, I need you to get well. You have a heart of magnetism in common. At the entrance to our reality, he was cut. To join, you must also between.

- And then Gabriel! - Theobald said smirking. - It will now take its maturity?

Theobald laughed loudly, his voice echoing in the lonely lab. But Gabriel, with firm steps, walked and entered the machine. Theobald looked over his shoulder in front of Gabriel and Arthmes noticed the tone of pride in his expression and thought.

"Anyway Theobald noted how the devil be worth someone with so much courage. Theobald found his place and Gabriel found his "! Thought.

All were apprehensive, knew of the dangers involved. Ben called and the process was started, what went through the mind of Gabriel while the tube was filled with fog and clouded your vision? Only a certainty, he did what was right.

- Gabriel? Are you awake?

The voice was known, Gabriel opened his eyes slowly, first images were fuzzy, then gradually become clear.

- Hi folks!

Gabriel smiled Ben lying in bed, they were all around him and also smiled.

- I slept much?

- About twelve hours - said Ana

Gabriel sat up and shook his head, he was feeling well.

- So? Did it work?

- It was perfect! - Ben spoke up - you are back together, I mean, you and your reality "it" in him.

- And DECONAM? - Gabriel asked suspiciously.

- It's over. There is still much for people to learn to mess with what is not seen. - Ben was serious. - I'd rather the world discover how to rescue their own faults, spirituality is something that is earned every day and by the will of each.

- So ended. - Said Gabriel relieved.

- Yeah, just - a deep voice echoed in the environment.

Everyone looked at Arthmes. This, after all, was the agreement Arthmes now and go home.

- And your sister?

Ana began to tell Gabriel that the mayor's secretary and Elisa were getting along, she had separated and the two decided to live together. The mayor lost political support. Without the influence of Tybalt, entrepreneurs refused the proposals, it would hardly reelected.

- What about Nelson?

Gabriel told police that the conclusion to the case was robbery and a surprise news: Walter and Julia had traveled to another city in a hurry and no date for return.

- We get little time together and there have been many changes. Nobody answered Gabriel, everyone had grown, all are no longer children. The cuts were deep, but these marks would heal and become life lessons, not secrets.

Into the car. Arthmes had asked Junior to take them to the only place that had felt peace in those troubled days, the outskirts of the city. When they arrived, they were already 8h50pm, the night was calm. In the sky, a large full moon crowned and illuminated the scene, the river flowed making a soft noise and nurturing.

- What do you think will happen with Eraldo?

- I do not know Junior, but ... - Arthmes pondered. - I hope you change your attitude. He is one of those little men who told you, and if not change, will be waiting when you die.

- But you did not.

Arthmes standing near the bank, withdrew his overcoat.

- Gabriel No, I do not.

And smiling hugged Ben, after Ana, then looked at Junior and Gabriel for a second remembered the day they met. Actually all three remembered and began to laugh, a guy looking at the other. They embraced, the sound of silence was heard of friendship, the perfect symphony that the world so desperately needs.

Arthmes pulled back to near the border with tall trees around. He stood with clasped hands, closed his eyes and opened fully wings. The scene began to change, silver bracelets with inscriptions appeared on his wrists and ankles, a white robe with silver edges also was covering her body while a bright light was coming up behind her head to form a halo. His body was all lit up, clearing the site. Fillets silver that glittered in his aura became more clear the air. The view was beautiful and unique. Arthmes opened his eyes and the light went well for them.

- Take care of Nelson!

When Arthmes Junior answered, his voice filled the venue as if everyone around.

- He's on your side Junior. Smiling and holding hands with her son. Arthmes raised his arms.

- Do not forget us!

- Do not forget Gabriel, remember: - and smiled - I'm not very orthodox.

Everyone felt a blow swift and strong wind. In a moment, an instant, the figure of Arthmes disappeared. Gabriel looked up and saw a shooting star rising, heading for the moon, then she disappeared. Everyone turned and went toward the car, less Júnior, who was still staring at the empty spot and dark ahead. The sad memories of childhood were gone, others took their place better, Junior looked up grinning.

- Thanks Arthmes.

He turned and headed for the car. There was no answer, nor needed.
