I Am. Aldivan Teixeira Torres

and finally, Rafaela Ferreira, who was facing a severe depression crisis. At least, none of them has lost faith completely. There was still hope, and this was something Aldivan used to emphasize.

      In this tranquil atmosphere, they return to the capital of Pernambuco, being dropped in the vicinity of the Bela Vista neighbourhood. It was 12H30 and they stay waiting for the bus in one of the roads.

      While they wait, they take the chance of catching a bit of sun and listen to music coming from nearby. Everything was perfect. The music stops, the bus arrives, they board it, a blue beast, and then the journey restarts.

      At a normal speed, they arrive at the highway which now is very busy. There would be sixteen kilometres more until the village of Riacho do Meio, where the seer and his friends where going to pay a visit to friend.

      As usual, they take the chance in the vehicle to make friends with other passengers and the driver. All of them were well known in the area for often doing that trip.

      From general news to politics and religion, the topics are well discussed, and everyone laughs. How good was to live, have friends, to chat and forget the worries for a while. This is extremely important for everyone’s mental health.

      And thus, they advance on the road, going down the mountain, pass Site Fifteen and sometime later arrive at the village which is located on the border between Arcoverde and Pesqueira. They alight near a cashew nut orchard, pay the fare, say goodbye, take the path and go in the small village.

      With a few more steps, they reach the only street and advance on the right until reaching the fifty building, in house style, 8x4 m, cedar door and window, with a small area in front of it. The seer then starts knocking and shouting:

      — Lady Eulalia! I am here!

      At the same time the sound of footsteps is heard and from inside the modest house, comes a middle—age white lady, thin, with a suntan, 1.65 m tall. She comes out with a smile on her face recognizing the boy who she had met a certain time at the bus station and who made her believe she was important. How good that is there, she thinks to herself. Then she speaks:

      — Aldivan, are you here? And who are these people with you?

      — Yes, it is me, lady Eulalia. These are my adventure companions. They are Renato, Rafael, Uriel and Rafaela— Said the son of God pointed each one out.

      — Oh, pleased to meet you. Welcome. Please come-in!

      — Thank you. (Everyone)

      Accepting the invitation, one by one go in the small masonry house. The house is comprised of a sole lounge, bedroom, service area, kitchen and bathroom. In the lounge they made themselves at home on a five-seater settee and one chair.

      He hostess is the first one to speak:

      — Very well, I was just thinking of you, my son. When we met for the first time, your words did a lot of good to me. Nowadays, I am tranquil, living off my pension. Now and again, my grandchildren pay me a visit and when that happens it is that party.

      — How nice that I could help you in some way. I brought this young lady here (pointed to Rafaela) for you two to have a chat. She suffers from depression. (The seer)

      — It will be my pleasure. How are you Rafaela? (Eulalia)

      — I am surviving. Thank you. (Rafaela)

      — We met her at the church of deliverance, in Arcoverde. She arose our attention. (Rafael)

      — Why?

      — Explain to her, brother. (Rafael)

      — She was crying and totally lost. (Uriel)

      — So, we decided to help her. (Added Renato)

      — That shows the greatness of your heart. I admire you. But could you explain the reason for all this? (Eulalia)

      — It is what I also ask. (Restated Rafaela)

      — My father called me to the mission. In some way, I am linked to Rafaela and her to me. We are sister souls from the beginning and I will spare any effort to help her. In any way, I always do that whether the person deserves it or not—Explained the son of God.

      — Thank you. (Rafaela)

      — It is indeed honourable. Congratulations! Tell me colleague, how long have you felt like that? (Eulalia)

      — I am not too sure. I have already gone through many crisis, apparently for banal things. I must admit that if weren’t for the son of God having rescued me, I would be dead, probably jumping off a bridge. (Rafaela)

      — Don’t talk like that. You are young, have many reasons to live and you are very lucky. So, smile! (Eulalia)

      — It is what we are always emphasizing to her. (Rafael)

      — “Indeed, it is not the end. I see good times, of spiritual self-communion, discoveries and happiness. Word of Yahweh”. (Uriel)

      — Amen. Help me Lord! (Rafaela)

      — He is helping, my friend. Have faith! (The son of God)

      — I believe it! (Renato)

      — I also believe it. Teach me! (Rafaela)

      The seer stands up, approaches the young woman and gives her a great warm hug. Resting her head on her lord’s chest, brother and friend, she was conscious that no evil would come to her. This belief calms her down and commotion of the moment made her cry.

      The son of God then bent down and delicately wiped her tears. At this point, he promises himself, his father and the whole of the universe, that in his future kingdom there would be no place for suffering, pain or even death. In it, the humans would be completely happy and would adore his father at the mount Sian. Unlike the human kingdoms, there would be equal rights and people would not be prejudged by the colour of their skin, race, religion, sexual choice or any other reason. Everyone would be children of the same father.

      When he realized that Rafaela had calmed down, he ends the embrace and returns to his seat. The hostess speaks again:

      —Would you like something to drink or eat?

      — Thank you, lady Eulalia. We are leaving. Aren’t we going, guys? (The seer)

      — Yes. (The others agree)

      — Thank you very much for the chat and the hospitality. (The seer)

      — Nothing at all, pay me a visit whenever you want. Good luck, Rafaela. God bless you. (Eulalia)

      — Thank you, lady, for your words of comfort. (Rafaela)

      They all mutually embrace and finally say goodbye. They head to the door, exit and go to the street. After walking a few metres, Rafaela went close to her beloved and says:

      — I am ready! Touch me!

      The son of God smiles. He had been waiting a long time for it. Delicately, he gets closer and stretches his arm touching her dress. Immediately, she feels a mysterious force which simultaneously heals her and discovers her most private secrets. “Take two”:

      “Rafaela continues to grow rapidly: From a sweet little girl, clever and inquisitive, she became a lass with the same qualities. On the family life she maintained a good relationship with her parents, and on the social life she was active, attended the main events being respected by her nature and values. On the intellectual side, she stood out in her class, passing the primary and high school with honours.

      However, that bad feeling remained inside her only waiting for the right moment to explode again. It is a recently discovered phenomenon, but which existed from the beginning of times, having recently got the status of disease. Its most common symptoms are: Deep sadness, feeling of guilt, difficulty in sleeping and concentrate, low self-esteem and suicidal ideas. Rafaela Ferreira felt most of those in her crisis.
