Tempest in Paradise Chapter Seventeen [ Recuperation]
Chapter Seventeen [ Recuperation]Ericka goes to the farm with her quick-moving, hard-working parents in the early morning before breakfast.“This is just amazing. It caused me to reanimate as a brand-new being, Ma, Pa.”She exclaimed joyfully as her tiny, slender feet with rubber slippers passed through the early morning scent of fresh, light dew of the grass.Ericka's thin, white, and silky legs are pierced by the cogon grasses that are growing in profusion on both sides of the trail as they slowly climb the mountain in the early morning. Her mother notes that Ericka is neglecting the irritants because she is so excited.Look, my dear Ericka, from now on, I would advise that you swiftly grab long pants, a long-sleeved blouse, and a wider hat whenever you walk to the rice field with us so that irritants won't hinder your joy. “Mother stated adding,"When you enter the plantation to gather edible ferns and mushrooms following a downpour and thunder and lightning, do the same added wit

Chapter Eighteen [Leaving amazed]On that particular Sunday morning, Ericka Mendel is wearing a white dress with a straight cut above the knee, long, pony-tailed brown hair, black doll shoes, and white fishnet stockings. Her two brothers also look well-groomed in their white, long-sleeved blouses, black long pants, black shoes, and hair that has been gel-applied to make it look neat and clean. Papa Ernest and Mama Elaine wear the same styles but are a little out of date because they no longer purchase new clothing in order to save money for other essentials for the farm and home.Even though they hail from lower-income families and cannot afford to build a new concrete home like their neighbors who share the same farmland, people nevertheless view them as a nice family.Ernest appeared older due to the already aging and wrinkling complexion, haggard face, skinny build, and untrimmed hair and beard, while Elaine appeared stressed and preoccupied due to her constant concern about how t

Chapter Nineteen: [ Sacrificial offerings to save others life]Ericka has been recovering from paralysis for a long time, and she has stopped her secondary school course. Her two brothers, John and Randy, are busy with weekday schooling already when Ericka is in terrible muscle pain on her legs, arms, and body. Her parents are currently busy checking the farmlands that Monday morning when it happens.She was feeding the fattened hogs and the poultry flocks when the pain stopped her. She collapsed while standing in front of the plucking hen and her newly hatched chicks, falling to the ground unintentionally. She didn't know that skipping maintenance may have a serious negative impact on her health and cause her nervous system to lose vital nutrients, which is why she hasn't yet found out what caused her muscles to go excruciatingly numb. "Mama, Papa, where are you?”She says nothing more before collapsing, her gloomy eyes going fuzzy and her vision spinning about the surface until she

[Chapter Twenty: Giving generously brings benefits]Ernest opens up about the most recent problems on the farm, and John looks at Ericka, who is still unconscious and lying flat on her hard wooden bed with a soft, flat pillow on her head. Ernest mentions, frightened,“Because one of our neighbors borrowed money from our funds to pay for Ericka's emergency—a sick baby—we were unaware that Ericka had previously been suffering from a lack of maintenance.Now, my two older sons, you had better lend me all of your savings if you have any in your piggy bank so Ericka can stabilize and regain her lost strength. She already had epilepsy and experienced numbness and stiffness in her muscles.While tending to our flocks, Teddy mentioned that she trembled and quivered, covered in feed. The hens and chicks helped to awaken her senses by making their unique noises, which attracted others to help her. The hogs continued to bump their noses against her unconscious body, making her smell bad and filt

Chapter Twenty-one [Dreamlining involuntarily]Because Mother Elaine had taken Matilda and Teddy to the parking lot where their car was, Ericka was left alone in the private ward, still asleep.As they went along, they had a nice relationship as neighbors, and Teddy felt better since, despite his youth, he still loved Ericka. This was thanks to the Christian sisters. Their mother found Teddy's treatment of Ericka to be amusing.“Teddy is the only child I have with my European-born spouse. He enjoys integrating with people because he gets lonely living by himself in our home. Although I was scared every time I saw him away from home due to the ongoing problems with those snakes that produce medical ailments that prevent Ericka from studying for school, I am very happy that he found her close to our farm. However, I'm glad my son already has a friend here.” As Teddy listens intently and silently to every kind comment that her devoted and kind mother makes to Ericka's mother, Matilda ex

Chapter Twenty-two [Have fun with the suffering]Ericka Mendel suffered an epileptic seizure while tending to the family's sheep in the farmhouse, which caused her to wake up early in the morning after a protracted soul voyage in fantasy land."You're okay now, my baby. We thank God that He spared your life for us, and we pledge to serve Him for the rest of our lives, along with our home.”As Ericka remembers her soul voyage and the man in the white robe who offered her to join Him in His realm, she simply nods merrily. She just said,"Mama, I already know what He wants us to do. He showed up on my voyage into deep sleep, but because he has given me a new lease on life, I should cherish it.”Ericka said, closing her eyes once more to resume her slumber. The doctor abruptly shows up and tells them that Ericka can leave the hospital as long as they pay the cost. As Ericka stands up, they have already verified that her health is okay and are handing her a prescription for health mainten

Chapter Twenty-three: [The inexperienced, naive friend]That late afternoon in Ericka Mendel's farm house, a conversation lasted an hour about the gift of faith that God's holy Spirit had sown in her heart, mind, and soul through her experiences fighting for life against death.The little Teddy boy's eyes began to close uncontrollably, but he still listened to her. All people react normally like this when they hear the powerful and active word of God for the first time. This word judges a person's mind and intentions and pierces the spirit and soul, joints, and bone marrow. Its sharpness is comparable to a double-edged sword.Even at this young age, when not much knowledge has been ingrained aside from his struggles accepting his mother's broken marriage and his sporadic interactions with his biological father, who lives apart from them, Teddy is willing to submit to the Heavenly Father, who is above all.He may have passed the point of no return since, although he is willing and full

Chapter Twenty-four [ The landmark] "What are you planning right now, and why do you appear so agitated and disturbed when you were just enjoying a nice, restful night's sleep here?”Teddy had intended to move the landmark to allow the nearby farm to expand their covered field. Ericka, on the other hand, expressed her joy at Teddy's inability to react to the concept in a different way."Really, humn!”Teddy becomes stunned and raises his hands to scratch his head, trying to convince her that he is not doing this with malice but rather that he is giving her family a few meters of extra land from her mother's family because he intends to join them in an emergency.Teddy would prefer to say,"In reality, I would like to bestow upon your family a few meters of more land that my mother seemed unwilling to relinquish since she longs to travel overseas with my father and remain there indefinitely." His eyes met hers as he awaited her response to his words.He adds,“I have to dig in my moth

Tempest in Paradise Chapter Sixty-three [ The lovers of mans' soul ]
Chapter Sixty-three [ The Lovers of mans’ soul]Ericka couldn't help that morning while she was in Teddy’s car with her family but thought after hearing about that sporting event from her male playmates that early morning. She recalled how they had taken her to the secret hideout where the majority of male army guys hid."When we play those wild deer games, you should dress like a man." Additionally, "they must not identify you as female. Otherwise, they will become attracted in you, Ericka. If we are together, we shall tag you as Eric."However, Ericka and John keep that secret from everyone because, to them, the incident is merely a part of rural life and nobody is interested."Everyone is too preoccupied with their problems to bother other people's lives when it isn't required." Her face turns gloomy adding,“My father would have to compensate them for their work on the farm if they needed help and support. "She even defends the workers' problems, and she smiles quietly while her

Chapter Sixty-two [ The secrets and conspiracies of man]When Ericka sees her male relatives, who are her uncles' sons, coming toward her, she simply sways her hands and body to fully appreciate the current moment.“It's time to play like a mountain and wild deer with our other childhood plaything. Would you like to join us? “ As he is trying to persuade her.”Ericka, this is a very lucky night when the full moon shines to provide us with lights."Roy, her cousin, eagerly extends an invitation to bring her, saying,“We may invite John and the other four boys of Uncle Johnny as well because their house is perfectly located for us to play hide-and-seek. We can go quickly across the higher mountain and down the valley with the little rill that divided the owner of the field to your farm.”Adding a few justifications,“Do you believe that even if it's a little slick when we get on, we may use the dry coconut midrib as a sled to go down the region, making it impossible for the person on th

Chapter Sixty-one [ The Full Moon]However, John, Teddy, and Ericka did not pick up when the teachers’ called. Someone responds on their behalf so they are unaware that Ericka's other pals and the three little children are already absent.The teacher also observes that the three partners who make up Ericka's group have already vanished and that darkness has spread to both sides of the area. However, someone responds on their behalf, and there are more sounds coming from the woods."All right, seniors, look for your seven companions—Ericka, Alona, and Nesty, Vanessa and Rusty, Amelia, Jason, and Teddy and John—as they appear to be drifting away from us at this .Everyone yells and calls their names.Alona, Ericka, Vanessa, Amelia, Nesty, Rusty, James, Teddy, and John, where are you now?"Everyone yells and calls their names.Alona, Ericka, Vanessa, Amelia, Nesty, Rusty, James, Teddy, and John, where are you now?"Adding, “Calling, calling you all! Please reply urgently!”They can also

Chapter Sixty [ The Cosmos]But before Ericka can raise any more questions, the audio declares loudly that the vehicle is ready to head back to the lowlands."Everyone who has registered and logged into our system is directed to prepare to board the vehicle that is parked at the outer gate by packing their belongings."They all had a good time during the party, but their questions about Ericka remain unanswered until they all get on the truck to go home.Ericka no longer realizes that she is resting on Darwin's chest and occasionally with John, who prevents her from collapsing, as she nods off throughout the hour-long drive home.Teddy is also feeling worn out as he sits in his father's lap. When everyone gets home, they all enjoy their meals and each other's company. They have a persistent mistrust about Ericka:"Why did nothing worse happen to her after an hour of submersion and why was she able to breathe like a fish?"Most of them lighten the tone of the interrogation by joking wi
Tempest in Paradise Chapter Fifty-nine [ Diving sharply and nose dive]
Chapter Fifty-nine [Diving Sharply and Nose Dive]It's a steep diving challenge for Ericka. She is currently focusing on how it operates while on the air. She is further able to recall her trainer's instructions:“When diving, you lift your two straight arms over your head and let gravity carry your body freely until you reach the water's surface.When you tilt your body upside down and concentrate on diving straight to the water's surface, with your fingertips touching the water's surface first, it can protect your head. Your hands should firmly focus with straight arms until your head, shoulders, and entire body reach and submerge the water.To reach the target underwater, your two powerful, firm hands extend overhead until your entire body flips over, shielding your head with your two long, powerful arms.Like a bird that is about to nosedive and swoop straight to the water's surface, Ericka doesn't care about anything else anymore and maintains the same body posture while doing so
Tempest in Paradise Chapter Fifty-eight [ The Challenges]
Chapter Fifty-eight [The Challengers ]Darwin and Teddy, as well as John, are so amazed and feel awesome at how they warmly welcome them and provide all their needs.Thinking about what they brought as part of their share of the birthday treats, Ericka looks at John.“When everything we need is readily available and free, do we still need the ripe bananas and charcoal that we attempted to carry? All we have to do is write down what we want, and they will deliver it right away!"Darwin and Teddy concurred with delight, and Ericka laughed quietly."And observe! It appears that this waterfall tourist destination still has something intriguing to offer. It appears to be a centre of worship for our beloved God over there.The image of our Lord Jesus Christ is located in a man-made garden that is comparable to the Garden of Gethsemane, and the sky is open and glistening with lights as bright as the sun.”Ericka demonstrates as Alona and Neste approach them and join her, who appears to have

Chapter Fifty-seven [ The water falls]Ericka speaks softly, saying“God heard your plea and granted you a younger sister or brother, my dear Teddy. It is your responsibility to look after Mom and her child.” Darwin finds what Ericka mentions surprisingly.“I had no idea that my son wanted a brother or sister. He longs for a large family, which is why they view you both as his brothers and sisters.Darwin chuckles as he gives him a big hug and invites him to go home to prepare for tomorrow's event.“We shall be leaving her before eight in the morning, Kuya. It would be wise to exercise caution, advise Ate Natalia to get enough sleep, and offer our congratulations on the new life she has inside her womb. May God bless you!"Ericka says this before Darwin and Teddy cheerfully depart.They were all restless and anxious about the upcoming events tomorrow, so they were unable to get a good night's sleep that night. Teddy constantly asks her mother how she is feeling and kisses her while c

Chapter Fifty-six [Granted prayer request]"Sister, come with me! Since the sun is still waiting to set and allow the shadows of darkness to engulf the entire area, let's attempt to follow this path right now. Let's seize this chance. It's Thursday today and Friday tomorrow. One more day is available for us to explore and learn about the hidden areas close to our neighborhood and what awaits us at the end of this path trek.”When John says this, Ericka becomes intrigued and holds his hand as they eagerly go along the weedy trail. “Is it safe to bring this back to our residence, in your opinion? We could get lost in the process.”Adding,“It appears that only cars have been using this pathway for a very long time. John, which vehicle is coming in and using this path?"Since they never bring a weapon against silent intruders, John declines to respond and tells Ericka to keep quiet so as not to disturb any other living beings that may be there. He coiled a stiff vine after noticing it. Hi
Tempest in Paradise Chapter Fifty-five [ Identifying the three cross pathways]
Chapter Fifty-five [ Identifying the three cross pathways]In the back of her tired mind, Ericka thought sarcastically that those interesting boys were trying to get rid of her till she left the school grounds for a semester break.But Ericka also lacks peace because her parents are focused on staying in the rice fields all week long, and her female classmates are idle and bother her while she is thinking in the farmhouse. They cheerfully invited Ericka to join them for a gang visit to swim in a remote waterfall with her male classmates, and she couldn't say no. Ericka is aware that she will face new difficulties as the gang will undoubtedly watch to see which of the girls will draw the boys to the swimming competition.“No! Since nobody will be left to watch over our residence here, I am unable to go to such a swimming party!”As one friend responded, Ericka's eyes widened and turned round.“Because you have amazing dogs that faithfully bark occasionally when something moves around
