BEFORE it was exactly five in the afternoon, Jaylyn was ready to leave. She was just waiting for Zekiel's call to say that he was there at the bottom of the building.She forgot what happened yesterday. She feels nothing but pleasure at the moment. When she woke up this morning to see Zekiel's face, she was sure of one thing.She always wanted to see the young man's face. She was falling for him, worse, she had already fallen in love with him. She didn't know what his reaction would be if she told him how she felt. If she doesn't talk, she won't know.In the middle of thinking, Jaylyn's cell phone rang. Her heart beat faster when she saw that the call was from Zekiel.Her smile disappeared. Why does she have a feeling that Zekiel doesn't want them to talk about it? "Do you know how to drive, Zek?" She looked carefully at the car and nodded. move without a word.Plus points again now that she found out that he knows how to drive. She wanted to say a lot to him but all of it just stuc
Later he turned to her, seeming to be deep in thought. When he walked back to her, she hoped that he would hold her so that they could walk together, but he only took her shopping bag.Zekiel walked quickly away from her again. She felt a stinging pain inside her. What did she do to make this happen? Does she want badly to give It the things it needs? She ran to catch up with the young man. She wouldn't know if she didn't ask."Zek." She stopped him by holding his arm. "Did i say something you don't like to hear?""Am I bad?"His eyes seemed to be filled with sadness and confusion when he looked at her."Just a few more days and I'll be leaving. I told you before how long I'll be staying."Jaylyn was paralyzed. It was as if an iron hand had pulled out her heart. She tried to find in her eyes the emotion she wanted to see but she could read nothing but confusion.Her tears started to form. "Are you really leaving? Are you not coming back? Are you leaving me forever?" When he didn't a
Zekiel returns again to the place where he first woke up in the human world. As he walked there and inhaled the smell of the sea, everything came back to his mind.He was sure that when he fell into the sea, he really died. Otherwise he would not be that person today. How he became an angel he did not know. No one else can answer his questions but the Leader can. And that won't last long. Only four days left including that day.When that ends, Zekiel will not be able to return to the human world because he no longer belongs there. Even if he wants to stay because he has a reason, he can't.He took a deep breath. An inexplicable sadness permeated every part of his heart. Only now he can see Jaylyn's tears as soon as he left. Sohe plans to visit the girl at the same time. He wants to say goodbye here until early.The outcome of everything is the same so it is better if he leaves immediately. As long as he can. Because maybe in the next few days he will want to stay forever.Zekiel stop
The woman shook her head sadly. "He didn't come even once when Ate was still buried. Even during the funeral he wasn't there either. What I remember is that he was last seen riding on his yacht. His yacht was found but he wasn't there. Maybe he drowned. But nobody was found. We don't know if he's still alive."His shoulders slumped as he turned his back on the woman. He walked away. In those moments he felt nothing but sadness. He wasted his life then. If he hadn't wallowed in grief over Vanessa's death, would he still be alive today? Is there any hope for him to meet Jaylyn and have a normal relationship with her as a person like this? But all that will remain a question that will never be answered.Zekiel has nowhere to go for the rest of the day. He doesn't want to go back to Jaylyn. He preferred to stay at the top of the building where his unit was. He sat in a corner there, motionless despite the heat of the day and the cold of the night. Even if it rains, he doesn't care. He wil
Zekiel's mind overflowed with so many questions as he walked into the white garden. Until that moment, his tears were still falling. He rubbed it violently. He couldn't help but be angry. He's already in Celes but why is he still like that? Why didn't he share all his emotions?When he was still in the mortal world he had many questions in his mind. All of that needs to be answered now that Celes is back.When Zekiel entered the garden he immediately saw the leader with his back turned. He can definitely feel his presence. He didn't see any other angels around. Also the moment he returned he had not yet seen his fellow angels who had come from the mortal world.He doesn't care about anything either in these moments. What he wanted was to talk to the Leader. Putting his feet on Celes after being blown away by the wind he noticed the return of his angelic attire and grace. He felt regret that he did not bring the clothes that Jaylyn had given him.Maybe that's really the best so that he
After that he closed his eyes. Jaylyn's shining eyes greeted him in her vision. When he opened his eyes, he was more determined in his decision."I will not change my mind, Leader." The Leader nodded. A nod of mixed agreement. When he heard her give the signal to clip his wing he closed his eyes.Zekiel's eyes were engulfed in a blinding light when he tried to open his eyes. It was as if all that had happened to him before. He blinked again and got up completely. He blinked as he looked around. Wasn't that also the place where he first woke up when the final trial was just beginning?An overwhelming shock flooded his being at that memory. Why does he still remember everything? He glanced at his own back. His wing was gone. But the Leader clearly said, he will lose his memories. But he remembers everything from then in his first life until now."I will let all your memories remain from the beginning of your life." Zekiel turned to the source of the voice"But why, Leader?" he asked."A
AFTER Zekiel left for good, Jaylyn complained for a few days. She asked Jean for leave, which she immediately granted. She told her that she was leaving the country so that she wouldn't ask any more questions.But the truth is that she just locked herself in the room. She spent a week inside the four corners of the room that Zekiel used. He could not dry her eyes. She wanted to follow what Zekiel said and just think it wasn't true. But every time she wakes up in the morning, she still remembers it. Inside Jaylyn's heart she hopes againit will come back and knock on her door one day.But a part of her brain saysthat is impossible.If what she had seen was true-that Zekiel really was an angel, he could have been asked by God to go back to heaven. She spent a week before she entered the office. She tried to act normal as if nothing had happened to him even though she was still dazed at times and remembered all the times she and Zekiel had been together. Every time that happens she find
❤️Prologue❤️The days I've spent with you are better than forever and eternity combined. "Zachriel's mind was to become a full-time archangel once the final trial ended and he returned to Celes. He was confident in his intelligence and ability to adapt to the world of mortals. His heart to the members of the family who embraced him. Especially the girl Kendra. Whenever he was seen by the girl's mother Edmingard had a feeling that the woman seemed to be living in the innermost part of her personality. Chance? And in the end... will Zachriel choose to forget the desire in exchange for a few moments to experience love one last time?Zachriel just listened silently as the Leader explained. The Leader explains the rules for the final test to become a full archangel.For Zachriel, he had nothing to fear. Twenty-two out of ninety-six were all angels who made it to the third and final test. And the Leader gave no number as to how many could be archangels. That means, if they all pass the tes
EPILOGUEWHILE looking down at the plateau, a small smile appeared on the Leader's lips. It seems to see something interesting from there. One of the angels, Van, couldn't stop himself from commenting."Does this have something to do with the angels who preferred to return to the mortal world as humans?" The Chief turned. "Why did you say that? that, Van?""I'm not sure. Is there another reason why you're smiling, Leader?""Maybe there is, maybe there isn't," was his figurative reply. Attention was again turned to the bottom of the plateau.When the Ruler is on that side and looks down it sees every desire below where the abode of mortals is.Van was one of the first angels to angel. The time he spent in Celes was probably not only a hundred years. He is also the highest of all the angels. But despite all that he still could not fully understand the Leader Guardian. Why it makes the decisions it makes. Ifwhy does it give a second chance. "If you really want to know why don't you a
WHY do you seem pale, Edmingard?" From eating, Edmin looked up at her daddy. She moved her eyes to his father and mother. Concern can be seen on the parents' faces. She forced a smile. She wasn't living in her parents' house anymore. It's been almost a month."I'm just tired from the amount of things I'm taking care of." Silence passed again. Only the sound of cutlery could be heard. Once again it was Edmin's daddy who broke it."Did someone come between you and Zachriel, Edmingard?" Edmin almost choked. He drank a lot of water. "What kind of question is that, Dad?" Remembering Zachriel, a sadness passed through his chest, although only for a moment."He came with you and Charm for a few days. You said it was at your beach house with Mignus atZambales. He never came back. I can't think of any other reason, well, aside from the fact that that's the only day he told us to stay here. I don't suspect him badly. He was a good man after all." Her father smiled. "Your mommy just said that
IT IS the final day.Zachriel was the first thing that came to Edmin's mind when she opened her eyes. Her gaze shifted from the ceiling to her right. Her and Zachriel's eyes met immediately. His warm eyes were softly looking at her. When her husband smiled, she smiled too."Good morning," he said to which she responded the same way.Zachriel bowed. She leaned forward and kissed her. First on the temple, next to her brows and then to her cheeks.That's when Charm acted like she was waking up. Zachriel immediately kissed her daughter on the forehead. Charm just changed position. It continued to sleep.Zachriel kept staring at Edmin. She was beautiful beyond words. Because of that, a knife hit his finger while he was cutting an onion.She took a breath and stared dumbly at the fingerbeginning to bleed. It turns out that not only his memories as a human returned. Even to feel emotionalman or physical illness returned. Edmin attended him immediately. "Are you okay?" it asked. She pulled
Edmin, Zachriel and Charm Spent the whole day cleaning the beach house full of dust, smoke and insects. It seems like her father and daughter spent more time messing around than cleaning.After that they cooked and swam in the sea. That night, they slept side by side in one of the two rooms. Charm was in the middle of the couple. Just like a real family. It was painfully beautiful.Zachriel talked to Charm until the child fell asleep. And when the two of them were awake, they did nothing but stare at each other. Edmin will stare at Zachriel while their hands are clasped until sleepiness overtakes her.Eat, bathe, play and walk on the beach. That was their routine for the next three days.On the afternoon of the third day at the beach house, Zachriel carried Charm on his shoulders. Edmin's arms were wrapped around her husband's body while they were walking on the beach."Daddy, Mommy, when are we going to the beach with dolphins?" Charm asked enthusiastically.Edmin and Zachriel looked
Edmin did not know how to take everything she heard from Zachriel."I can go on. I can tell you about our days together. I'm Mignus. And I'm telling the truth, Edmin. I and Mignus are one."Right.And he was saying those with utmost conviction, with truth shimmering in his sad but determined eyes. If that wasn't the truth, he couldn't think of any other explanation for why he knew all that.In her heart, she wants to believe. She was really seeing Mignus in him. And the way he looked at Charm. The way he looked at her with anguish and longing. Was it really possible? Did he come back as an angel because he heard his cries in heaven? Because it knows his tears? Because it knows that he wants a second chance forcan he say goodbye?But if he was here right now, in flesh and blood, even with a different personality and face, Mignus is still Zachriel. Why should she say goodbye? The best thing to do was to hold onto him and never let him go. Because second chances were supposed to beseco
Edmin's DreamIT WAS a beautiful dream. Edmin felt like she was floating on a cloud. She had good-great news. She and Mignus are about to have a baby."Congratulations, Mrs. Salazar You're six weeks pregnant."Edmin's smile widened at what the ob-gyne said. He reached for her hand. "Thank you, Doc.He seemed to be stepping on a cloud when he left the clinic. He couldn't wait to tell Mignus everything. The husband just left last night. First thing in the morning is to get a checkup right awaywhat he did. Only now will he think of a nice surprise on how to reveal it to Mignus he is dying. Emma was in that meditation when her cell phone rang. She answered that thoughthe number is unfamiliar. She wished she hadn't taken the call. It was the worst joke of all. Before the person on the other line could elaborate everything, everything went completely dark for her.The light coming from outside penetrates through the glass window. When Edmin opened her eyes, her cheeks were wet with tears
Edmin woke up the next morning with a heavy heart. He didn't want to get up but she had no other choice. She has a choice. She can stay in his room and worry about people outside or she can pretend to be fine. Either way, she is the loser.She chose the latter.But before going out completely, Edmin's eyes caught the bouquet of roses and papers in the corner of the room. She drew in a violent breath. Taking them out of the room, she headed outside and placed them in a large trash can.Upon reentering the house, she went to the kitchen to make coffee. He caught Manang Marcha and Zachriel having breakfast. The old man immediately stood up. Their eyes met the man's. It was the first to look away."Good morning, Edmin. How are you feeling?" Manang Marcha asked."It's good," she answered. "And sit down and continue eating. I'll take care of myself.""Hi, join us for the meal." Edmin nodded before starting to move.She took a plate. Even if she doesn't want to eat, the smell of fried rice,
Three times after Edmingard left the workshop, Zachriel couldn't stop the rising of worry. That was increased when Manang Marcha repeated that alcohol is what Edmin keeps coming back to the house.Zachriel couldn't resist going to the warehouse. He feels anxious. He didn't know where that anxiety was coming from. He just wanted to see Edmin's condition.Like the first time he peeked through the window. He bent slightly to get a good look at Edmin's form. The woman's other hand is holding the mold while the other is holding a bottle. It drinks. Just by looking at it, he could see that it didn't do multitasking very well.Edmin dropped the bottle, probably drunk. Her face is already reda few strands of hair that had come loose from the ponytail were scattered. He was laughing despite Zachriel clearly seeing tears welling up in her eyes. It tried to pick up the broken pieces of the bow but only injured itself.When Zachriel saw the bleeding finger, something inside Zachriel tingled. Tha
"YOUR smile makes my heart race. You should smile often, my love." Those words had popped into Edmin’s mind countless times in the past few days. This is what her late husband Mignus often told her. Subsconsciously he knows you are triggered! of what Zachriel told her. Mignus words were almost the same as the man's words to her. Because of that, instead of being reassured, she completely avoided Zachriel. She hired new staff to help. She doesn't want Zachriel to end up as a business partner. Now she was sure why she was uncomfortable in the man's presence. It revives feelings and memories that he has buried in the deepest part of his being. They have been spending almost two weeks with Zachriel. Only two weeks left. It's quick. One morning Edmin's only brother called. His brother Jaice: His wife is said to have given birth. And of course, their parents should be there. That's not the only occasion. His brother's eldest son will also have a birthday. They should all go to the State
