The more you suppress the feeling the faster it surfaces….
We all have silent battles that we fight , demons that we have tamed and beasts that we have put to sleep.
Masalinga held Cheribie tightly , but her mind was in chaos , old memories surfaced like demons breaking through the shackles of the past …..she never thought Cheribie would ever face what she had today,Masalinga had done her best to keep Cheribie far far away from Ezrail….but fate had different plans, now she would have tell Cheribie the secret she had tried so hard to hide.
“Cheribie” she whispered, her voice shook, Cheribie looked up at her granny and was surprised to see her in tears…. ” Granny , what happened??” She asked and looked at her grandma closely, ” is it because I told you I smelled death? Dah granny chill , I won’t let that punk take you away ” she laughed and Masalinga smiled. ” Cheribie , I have something important to tell you” she stammered….Cheribie sat up and came closer to her grandma ” tell me what? That the Angel of Death is your Son who chose to serve God instead of Lucifer and u chucked. Him away from your inheritance?” …for a moment time stood still, Cheribie had just cracked a joke but the pale look on Masalinga’s face and the widened eyes of mia made her heart beat faster ….oh hell … Her Grandma had turned into a statue!!!
” Mac???” Poonam caught her brother just in time before his body hit the pavement. The Butler came running out and helped Poonam to carry Mac Into the house, the two bedroom apartment indeed looked empty without Sarah, even the walls seemed lifeless and everything seemed dead. Poonam and the butler carried Mac to the bedroom, the bedroom that was once a room filled with laughter was now silent, mourning over Sarah.
Poonam sighed sadly as they put Mac on the bed.. she looked at the butler who seemed to be lost in his own world of grief, Sarah had been like a daughter to him and loosing her was just too painful.
Sarah looked at the Angel of Death …” Big Bro , what’s your name? ” She asked casually.. He looked at her and smiled ” izrael,” he replied. Sarah cleared her voice …. ” That’s scary I prefer big bro” she replied and He smiled. ” So tell me little Sarah ,where and how you met Mac” he waited for her to reply and she smiled. ” We met at a function where I was going to give a speech , I had prepared but unfortunately instead of the speech I carried the budget paper ” she giggled, izrael looked at Sarah amused …” You carried a budget paper??” He laughed and she smiled. ” Yes , and it was so funny when I told my audience with out most honesty that the paper in my hand is the secret of life, Mac stood up from the Audience and walked upto me and requested to see it, he let out a loud laughter and said ….” I declare my love for the maker of this Wonderful secret …. Henceforth all her bill shall be on the house…. It started as a joke but we suddenly found ourselves deeply in love …. Despite our cultural differences we stood by eachother , it wasn’t an easy ride but it was worth all the ups and downs. “.. Sarah let out a sigh…Izrael felt like he had committed a crime separating two lovers but again He was under an oath …. An oath that had snatched away from him everything that he once treasured…
