A Girl in My Life

– Today paradise is celebrating – he says looking at everyone inside the salon – Today we are receiving ten new members in our celestial family – he pauses a little, looks at all the apprentices and then continues – Stand shoulder to shoulder.

I don’t leave the place, there’s no need, the apprentices who were behind me move around and stand next to each other, and I who was the first now am the eighth in line.

– Zaniel, the one who has me as judge – calls the lord referring to the first on the right side – It is with great pleasure that I hand you over, so honda are your wings, turn around.

Zaniel does as they are told and the lord places his right hand on Zaniel’s back. A white glow comes into view, but not to the point that I need to close my eyes, it is such a beautiful light to be, but the beautiful scene gives way to an agonizing scream. My eyes widen, why is he screaming?

– Aaaah – he screams out loud in pain, his knees bend and fall to the ground along with his hands, the sound of the thud on the ground makes me shudder – Aaaah – I can see his tears wet the ground and on his back the white glow fades away and in its place you can see a small white feather – Aaaah – he supports himself with his elbows on the ground and with his hands he hugs his head, and what before was only a simple small feather gives place to a huge pair of totally white wings.

Zaniel’s chest rises and falls rapidly, he is breathing so heavily that he looks as if he has just come out of a marathon. He still stays like this: kneeling on the ground for a few more minutes, when his breathing completely returns to normal, he stands up, turns his face to look and with his right hand smoothes his wings, a smile adorns his face, and I end up smiling too, I’m happy for him.

– You Zaniel, you are destined to be a commander or a coach, but because you are still very young you will be an assistant of the angel Roguel, of the fifth division of the heaven. Good luck in your mission, my son.

The lord when finishing speaking hugs Zaniel and all the others present applaud the newest member of the celestial family, Roguel gets up from his place and receives Zaniel with open hugs wishing him welcome.

Uriel and Haniel, were stronger than Zaniel, they didn’t fall to the ground, just cried a lot, they were contemplated being their

They were contemplated with their green tips and were sent to the seventh division, Luciel did as Roguel and received them with open arms.

Haniel, Jael and Camael, all went to the ground, they stayed on their sides with their hands covering their faces in order to hide their crying, but in the end they were contemplated with beautiful white wings with golden tips, they were designated to the first division, and the representative that received them with open arms was Haffael.

Zuiel and Lafiel just kneeled on the ground as the pain and white light was present, but soon after they got their white wings with the lilac tips and were sent to the fourth division, Hafityel received them.

– Come, Zuniel, he who guards me, step forward – he promptly obeyed the lord.

He stepped forward, I can see his legs trembling, it seems I am not the only one nervous about all this; and just as he had done with the others, the lord placed his right hand on his back and the white light was once again present within that hall, bringing with it the cries of pain.

The pain in Zuniel was so intense that he could not stand it and fainted, and even being fainted on his back the process was the same as the others, first a small white feather that seconds later gave way to huge white wings with sky blue tips and the lord assigned him to the third division, in the third division, and the representative of it is Suriel, who did not need to receive him because Zuniel soon followed with the healing angels.

– Anael, the one who possesses my grace, the one who has in himself my greatest gift: love. Step forward, my son – I do as the Lord commanded me, I step forward, he places his right hand on my back and I feel the warmth of his hand on mine anyway, it is such a good warmth, the warmth of the father who loves you.

– Aaaaahhhh! – I fall to my knees on the floor and feel my back burn, it’s like he’s putting burning embers on it – Aaaahhhh! – the pain is much greater than I imagined, I have the sensation that the burnt skin of my back is opening, this is agonizing me, I feel something big and heavy passing through this crack making me contort myself even more on the floor, I feel the tears flood my eyes.

I close my eyes and start mentally counting:

One… Two… Three… Four… Five… Ten… Twelve… Fifteen.

In exactly fifteen seconds that hallucinating pain which was consuming me simply ceased. I open my eyes, I feel my legs and arms trembling, but I draw strength from nowhere and I stand up from the ground, spinning around trying to see my wings which are huge. I take my right hand to touch one of them, but before I can touch them the lord speaks:Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

– You Anael, you are destined to be a guardian angel, you are destined to be the protector of my creation, the son who defends the goods of his father – at the end he embraces me and all present applaud – Welcome Anael, you will remain in the third division.

I am very happy to know that I will be able to continue here in the third division together with my captain, coach and my best friend.

– I am very proud of you Anael – says Suriel squeezing my shoulders tightly – We will soon start your apprenticeship to be a protector and learn how to use your wings – declaring smiling to me.

Seeing the pride stamped on the dearest faces of my life, fills me with happiness and confidence.

Then I smile to my trainer, he turns his back and follows me out of the palace, I hurry up too and start walking right after him, but I stop and turn my head to see him one last time before I start my preparation, but to my astonishment he is not among us anymore.
