Excerp from the book:
What happened had to happen
Bella blamed herself for everything for a long time.
‘That is not my cup of tea,’ she continued, ‘I am not responsible for everyone whom I have encountered or for what they do. Everyone is responsible for themselves and their children.’
Bella looked around and saw parallels between human movements - they came together and moved away from each other. Crossroads arose - reasoned - many people encountered others and left a trail. All trails existed - they wrapped our earth in a cloak, a net cloak.
‘Am I dreaming or is it true?,’ she wondered – sometimes it arose unreally. Even if she stayed in the present.
As she got to the airport, she got out of the taxi. She paid by credit card – while she waited for the receipt, she fished a 5 £ banknote out of her pocket.
She took the receipt and gave the £ 5 at the same time. The taxi driver looked at the banknote; his face wore an expression that oscillated between gratitude and a long-forgotten memory. He stared at her, lost in thought.
After a moment he murmured, ‘Thank you.’ He glimpsed back and added, ‘God bless you.’
It was the 5 £ banknote she had received at the post office days earlier - this banknote contained a message that someone had written in Scarlet red capital letters. Most capital ones were written fast. The ‘D’ indicated it - that looked more like a triangle than a full spheroidal belly.
The capital letters on one side of the banknote formed the message - God is so good - and on the other - Jesus is Lord. The only thing she knew was: on this occasion, the banknote should change the owner.
That reminded her of the fact that she had helped someone - who was in need. Everything commenced and found its end here if the time was right. She was stranded - at an airport, without money – and the plane ticket got lost. Bella thought - ‘What shall I do?’
While Bella gazed around, she noticed someone - a young man, who was waiting. He looked in her direction, terrified. Even if she noticed she ignored it. Later as she passed and kindly greeted him: he startled and looked away.
What was it about her that everyone looked at her that way? She could not understand it.
She purposefully walked towards the departure hall and went in. In the next free seat, she sat down, picked up her cell phone and she relooked at the E-Book.
She thought - ‘Nobody will rush me anymore: there will not be any more flights - I can finish reading the book.’
