When the white petals glowed

Ramo and Duba!

The sun was going down with its scattered rays around, and bloody twilights was decorating the scene too . The three moons were conspicuous, although each took on a semi-circular shape and they seemed faint in the presence of sunlight, even though the sun was giving its last breaths,The clouds were irregularly distributed to complement that picturesque celestial palette. This was the scene her eyes saw when she regained consciousness again, but this time when she restored her consciousness , she was completely angery ... won’t that journey ever end?!. she found acorridor with steps carved into the rock and going down, so she landed without thinking and found the last thing she could expect at the end of this journey.

Paved roads, high-rise and sophisticated towers, centered by a giant building taking the shape of three moons, cars she has never seen before, including those on the ground, and those flying! So this is the last stop for the journey !. few minutes after the stone stairs had ended , she found that she became in the town amid its people , but are they really humans? The men are all skinheads, and the women’s hairs are not beyond the neck . Everyone was dressed in clean, classy clothes and the tattoo on everyone’s forehead was glowing!

she continued her strides inside the city , she was looking around and was very surprised . she did not notice that she was also the focus of attention of those who met her!.. With her red robe and squalid body as if she had just come out of the grave. when she walked by a store with glass facades, she stopped and was panicked by her reflection on the glass, looking like one of the living dead! , but what caught her most was that the tattoos on her forehead were glowing, but was less brightly than their tattoos! . her ears picked up a metal sound from behind, she turned around to find a metal robot that took a semi-human form. she got a little scared while the automated voice was speaking :

- I can help you, ma’am!

She couldn’t respond as if her tongue had stuck to her throat ceiling. the robot curved a little while he was inviting her in. She made confused strides into the store and the robot followed her . he pointed at one of the seats in an invitation to her to sit down, and then he walked inside . her head didn’t stop turning right and left to check the store, which seemed to be for women’s clothes! and Soon, the robot came holding one of them! . she rose to say slowly:

- I don’t have the money!

He stopped like he was studying the sentence which she said, and then he said:

- Excuse me, ma’am, what’s the money?!

She didn’t stop for discuss him as she took the robe while he pointed at one of the rooms inside. In front of the mirror and in less than a minute , her red robe was on the floor. She stood for seconds to see her body, whose bony features had emerged more. Now she needs more than clothes, she needs water, she needs food, she needs a place to stay. She wore her new clothes؛and found that it fit into her body perfectly despite of her skinny state . She wiped her face with her hands and flicked her hair out with her fingers . Her body needs a warm, long bath! . she left the room and thanked the machine that was programmed to be friendly to customers, and then she came out of the store to walk with the crowds, and this time she seemed - to some extent - to be one of them!

She didn’t get too far, that time she stopped in front of her basic need .. White Flower Hotel! .. as it written on the metal sign . If the clothes were free, surely the stay would be free, so she simply thought, although she wasn’t quite sure how she would order a room, but the machine standing in the lobby saved her from a lot of hesitation. Once it saw her, it didn’t differ from the other one in the store. he bowed respectfully and gave her a card, which seemed to be the key to the room with its number and location . In the end, she couldn’t believe herself when the door closed behind her for the first time, a long time ago . All the past seemed like a bitter nightmare, so that when she ended up in that comfortable clean room, she thought all she went through was an illusion!

There are lots and lots of questions in her mind now, but she postponed everything and rushed to the bathroom. She dislodged her new robe, then let the warm water permeating her body with her closed eyes. she does not remember when did she turn off the water , walked out of the bathroom, let her body on the bed, closed her eyes to drown in sleeping made her body finally sigh from rest. she opened her eyes again to find two brown arms clutched with a pillow, which landed on her face to keep her breath shut! .She shouted and got up , but found no one. She searched all over her room well but in vain. It just seems a nightmare. She sighed, closed her eyes , and placed her hand on her chest, the beats in which accelerated, and her ears were interspersed with other beats... Coming from the door! .She slowly approached the door and then stretched her hand to open it - without enough caution - to see who is there , and she was shocked when she found Ramo!

***

-You can see us as aresult to a mutation that happened to human being , a mutation that broke apart and multiplied and formed its own dynasty. Or you could see us as an advanced stage resulting from the evolution and natural election of living organisms, or maybe we’re a superhuman genre!.. where human doesn’t occupy the pyramid of living things like he thinks! . Maybe we’re the top of the pyramid! Or maybe there are other peaks above us. The truth is, I don’t know, as much as man has endeavored to discover his beginnings, we too have a start and I don’t claim to have known everything about this vast universe we live in.

- Physically we look just like them, but the whole difference lies here .. in the brain ! .Our minds are more sophisticated and smarter on many stages, and we vary in those mental abilities. there is Who has the ability of telepathy, who has the ability to move things, who has the ability to predict the future, and we are all good at that science that man has created on Earth, and we have surpassed the levels that they have achieved. We live on that island in parallel universe to the Earth of mankind, but our earth in this dimension has no life beyond our island. Our population is increasing and the day we have to leave the island will come. The truth is that human earth has been ravaged by corruption and pollution. It’s not good for our genre, but it’s the only solution. We cannot live with human beings because they are ignorant and destructive. We can destroy them in a month’s time , but the truth is they’re on their way to the doom with their hands.

- The great powers of the Earth know about us and know that they are inevitably the losers of war, so we have concluded agreements with common interests, including the deportees’ agreement!. Here on that island, our minds are all connected to a collective mind of our genre. This collective mind is a computer-like smart machine, is located in the three moon building in the middle of the island. it evolves every minute of millions of experiences and experiments that each one of us has. This is our great point of superiority , so you see the glowing tattoos that bind us all. The Deportees’ Convention stipulates that all those sentenced to death in the world of mankind are banished to that island, where their minds are linked to our collective mind. Their dark experiences in their lives, and the interaction of their minds with the dangers they face, are a valuable addition to our collective mind. That weired land we were in with others is the ground of tests, where illusion and truth are overlapping , where the land is alive!.. it studies what’s inside of us to bring out all these horrors that we’ve seen, while the collective mind is there in downtown, maturing and evolving by all what happens on that island.

Asia remained silent in front of the torrent of surprises flowing from Ramo’s tongue, whose eyes were hiding deep sadness, after which she spoke:

- Why me? And if Iam human, how?

She stopped talking.. She remembered his last sentence..You are the only woman I loved ! . he cut her thoughts, saying:

-You’re from us, Asia, or I can say it now. Doba!

- Doba?

- You are not human, you are of our genre , and I am your only friend!

She silenced and her eyes urged him to keep talking, so he spoke after a while:

- I told you that each one of us has his own mental abilities that start to appear after puberty and develop more and more as years go by, and our offspring are more sophisticated than us. I have the ability of mental telepathy and implanting ideas in minds , but not with everyone, there are those who have the power to close their minds infront of me and you were one of them, but your husband’s mind has been opened as a friend’s heart in front of me!

- Hisham?!

- No, Dai!

- Who’s Dai?!

- you were subjected to a conspiracy and I don’t know why. You disappeared the first day of your marriage to Dai, and your brain data was completely erased from the collective mind. it was like you never existed.

-When I met him that day, we didn’t talk, but I read in his eyes what happened. I knew that he took you out to the human world for a reason I couldn’t reach. Dai has a high degree between us, he has a special ability to predict the future. There are many of us with this talent, but it varies in strength, and for Dai .. he have reached a very advanced level in the accuracy of his prophecies.

This is in addition to his top job on the Governing Council. the Governing Council whose members are graded according to their own and unique mental abilities. Dai has also been my friend and I know about him ambition, greed and love of power, he’s on the top of the council now!.

- After you were exiled , you arrived at your new place and I knew that you lost everything that connecting you to us and your memory was completely erased. Your return was impossible and there was no evidence to provide it to the council to prove that crime. Years have passed, I’ve been moving between the two worlds to track your life in the other world. Your matters were on the surface like the rest of humans, but your feeling of alienation and asphyxiation never left you. When you married and Adam came, the course of matters changed completely! . Adam doesn’t relate to humans . he’s like you and me! When he came to this world, I knew I had to step in until you came back to us. I managed everything.. Adam death and accusing you of killing him until you got to that point.. the death sentence!. you came back with the deportees to your land again, and I was sure you would pass those mental tests.

Asia rose with two blazing eyes to say in angery voice:

- You masterminded Adam’s death?!

- Adam is fine and lives on the island as one of us!. Listen, please don’t interrupt me. Adam will not be touched , the problem now with your presence on the island, your tattoo is faint, and this happens when we get sick or just dying. when one of us dies this tattoo is completely extinguished. But your tattoo will soon extinguishe , Asia and you’re still alive! .Then everyone will know you’re an outsider and you’ll be arrested and eliminated.

She said in a semi-tearful accent:

- I want to see him, please.

- Everything I ask you to be patient, don’t ruin everything right now. Don’t think of Adam. Adam’s never in danger. All it takes is to try to recover your old memories, then your brain data will return to the collective mind, you will come back to us and Dai will be eliminated for his crime!.

-But I don’t remember anything!

- Doba will do it, just like you passed those tests. just clear your mind and think nothing but trying to recover the lost past.

- What if i failed and the tattoo extinguished , what are we going to do?!

- I’m not putting this possibility, I’m sure you’ll come back to us!

****

she is walking again. but that time without wonderful natural scenes around, without physical exhaustion makes her step like carrying weights, without fear of monsters that want to hunt her , without hunger, without her sad company . Only the civilization dressed best , around her. Organized streets, sophisticated cars, high-rise towers with glossy glass facades, people who look exactly like humans and differ only by that glowing spot on the front. That’s how she started her journey to recover that missing part of her mind, it’s not missing. As Ramo convinced her... It’s closed with locks and barricades, and she just has to find the keys, to come back. Relaxation exercises that she started to keep up, hypnosis-like sessions that Ramo performed on her to clear her mind and trying to get to her sleeping memory and wake it up, walking daily on the streets of the city to find any alarm or excitement makes her return. That is how Asia agreed to abide by Ramo schedule until any glimmer of hope appears on the horizon, and most importantly, she must completely eliminate any seeds of fear, suspicion and darkness within her so that her mission can be facilitated.

With the maximum of her energy she was trying. Honestly, she was trying. but the raging darkness that has filled her since she moved into the world of mankind, is still there engaging in harmful bickering with her , and that war has not yet yielded a definitive result. she needs a strong glow, like that light on the faces to conquer the force of darkness inside her .

she looks around with precision, she almost doesn’t miss any details , but nothing... Like she’s in this place for the first time. She puts out her fears and sadness . she continues meditation ,walking and diving into the details of this people.deep breaths and the voice of Ramo has her back... You’ll do it, I trust you! . She stopped walking after she felt so exhausted. there was something like a coffee shop where the tables and benches

was distributed in its yard, while some of people was drinking from small white cups.she took her seat, then seconds and the robot came to her carrying a cup without even asking. it seems that all the labor forces here is those mechanized metal objects. the cup was approached her lips to taste a hot liquid, strange and delicious at the same time. she followed the sips looking away with a fugue and didn’t pay attention to that angry roaring voice!.

That little rodent-like animal was arched, as its voice was swelled into a disturbing sound. his owner who was old and stylish lady patted his head to keep it calm, while she noticed that the animal was looking at that beautiful young woman who was sitting alone , but the little animal did not calm down. it stuck his body to his owner’s seat, and shew his fangs, but lowered his irritating voice. Asia turned to find this scene in front of her.her eyes met with the elderly lady’s eyes accompanied by a faint smile, but strained from the sight of the little animal , so she looked away. The lady rose to approach Asia and gently put her hand on her shoulder, saying:

-He doesn’t like getting out of the house!

Asia turned to realize that she was talking about her pet.She said with a faint smile : ,

- and Who likes that ?

Reflecting on her faint flash, the lady said:

- You should stay in care units, you look sick dear!

Asia nodded with a faint gesture of approval, and then followed the lady with her eyes as she left the place with the animal that was showing his fangs aggressively . Asia remembered seeing that little pet before! .. it was glued to the trunk of the predatory tree in the deportees’ land! . she Still can’t believe all they saw .. as if it like illusions! . She didn’t do much at the café, and the frustration began to creep into her because she didnot remember anything , so she took the way back with two failing feet to the hotel.

She walked out of the elevator and headed into her room by desperate strides, then she suddenly stopped , while her body was shuddered with a muffled gasp and her eyes was shone with a fossilized tear, and then her tongue pronounced his name. Adam! And by the next minute the little one was between her arms! .

***

It was two days after Adam’s meeting and there was nothing new. Strenuous attempts from her, but she seemed like an empty bag, the city in all its spheres did not knock on a door and did not open a window into her past that totally disappeared . Ramo tries to calm her down, but the anxiety was going out of his eyes against his will .seeing Adam didn’t make things better for her, because he increased the fears inside her, what would be his fate if she didn’t make it?!.

When she left her room that day, she had only one destination to go .. the beach! . She took off her light shoes and moved inside. her feet dived into the turquoise sand as she approached the blue water in front of her. The scene is not much different from the Alexandria Sea, but she found herself - for the first time - having nostalgia .. to the world of mankind! .The beach was empty and there were no high waves. She turned to her left to find a green forest stretching inland in parallel to the sea. She left the sand and moved into the green range. Unexpectedly, she didn’t find many trees inside, but she did find vast tracts of white lilies! .The scene reminded her of the land of white flowers that swallowed Aung that morning in the land of the deportees, but the sizes of those lilies were larger. With all this picturesque beauty, she couldn’t prevent her hand from stretching to pick one of them. It is unfortunate that this beauty is over, after being taken off its stem that bind it to the land, it will be carried to one of the cold glass vases, and even if you put it in water, it will never go back to its old luster !.

She pondered the pale white flower on her hand. she sighed and then turned around as she felt that there was no point in going through that forest, and that she had to come back, especially after the darkness started to cover the horizon . she left the sandy beach through rocky steps leading her up, back to the heart of town. In her slow walk, she was a perfect model of desperation walking on two feet. everyone here is literally alive except her, so even if the circles became lighted again on her forehead, who will illuminate the life inside her ?!

While she was leaving the last part of the beach to become in downtown , there was another person coming into it even though it was almost covered by darkness, and because she was lost in her own kingdom of thoughts , she didn’t pay attention to him, but he turned with his powerful brown body to her back , while narrowing his eyes as if he was suspecting something! and then he went on his way down to the beach and she faded into the city.

She knew that her tour for the day had ended as usual without any tangible results, so she decided to return to the residence. The city lights are radiant, dancing, making streets and buildings swim in light as daylight, but it is more attractive and charming. She continued her slow walk pondering the surrounding while she was still holding the white lily firmly. suddenely , she found those who are pointing at her with two wide terrified eyes! .In seconds, the scary mess has prevailed, they were pointing at her and running.. the most scary thing that they were running away from her! .She stopped with fast heartbeats , and slowly crumbled because she expected the cause. when she looked at her reflection on the glass of the store she was walking next to , she saw only her dark body. she heard high alarm sounds from afar and she knew the chase started from that moment... her circles extinguished and now she has to re-run!

She found no refuge other than the place she came from, so she didn’t stop one moment until she became in front of the black waves reflected on it , the three moons . She kept running until she entered the lilies land , and hid behind some shrubs in a position where she could see the entire beach. With difficulty, she tried to set the pace of her breath to calm down her body, which consumed a dazzling amount of adrenaline . her mind has not ceased to do its work ... asking alot of panic questions .. What’s next? she was revealed and it won’t be long until they find her. What is she going to do? Will she return with Ramu’s help to the land of mankind? And if she could come back, would she leave Adam here and forget about him?

Even if she did, would she return to her dark world to end up by killing herself? she has drawn a scenario of what would best happened . it is impossible to survive the grip of the city authorities. All possibilities lead to a dark tunnel and there is no glimmer of hope of any kind.

what removed her from the clutches of that bee that was scouring the lobbies of her mind, was the sound of leaves , so she knew she is not alone! . She shrank in her hide more and watched the place from a more low-lying location, when she watched that young man leave the lilies spot slowly. He stood for minutes pondering the hills of the waves and then he left the beach . She remained hiding until she heard sound of steps in the sand approaching. he became visible on the outskirts of the forest under the glare of silver light, after which her heartbeat began to return to some regularity. she moved to leave her hiding place and ran towards him!

The wind bore only the sound of the roar of the high waves, while the surroundings shone under the silver glow . The two sat closer than usual, and the unsuspecting supportive party stopped airing his usual positive confident words, after they reached to that inevitable point. There’s not much left and everything might be end. That’s what she read in his eyes that time. So she said in a quiet surrender tone:

-Ramo, whatever happened to me, will Adam be okay? Will he live without any risk?

Avoiding looking at her eyes, he said:

- There is no danger on Adam. He continues his life up there as one of us, so he doesn’t need any adult to guide him!

She sighed:

- it is enough for me.

- I can take you back to the world of mankind!

- No, Ramo, I couldnot live between them. believe me, I’ll end up there killing myself.

- There is no other solution in our hands right now.

- You will continue your old life here and you will care for Adam even if he doesn’t need you, that’s how I will finally feel reassured and peaceful.

-What’s next?

She closed her eyes as she said:

- Take my life, I want you to do it!

- I won’t listen to such a talk, Doba!

- You know inside you that there is no other solution!

- There are always solutions, even if our minds don’t realize them in those moments.

- How was my relationship with you in the past?

- We were very close, best friends as you always said!

- Just two friends?

- You never looked at me in another perspective, but I did !

- After everything you did for me, I can’t believe I was just seeing you as my friend.

- No, you just don’t remember your feeling about Dai ! , By the way, I just saw him leaving the beach.

- Is that young brown man?

- Yes.

- He was visiting my nightmares a lot!

- he always leaves a profound impact that is difficult to erase.

They were shrouded in a sombre silence but Ramo then reverted, saying in an encouraging tone:

- I’ll try to hide you the next days until you remember your past.

her body shook with a muffled shudder. she whispered in his ears in tearful tone (Do it , please). she did not receive an answer other than tears and strong hug from her loyal friend . A hug from which they only woke up with the sound of sirens coming from above !

***

On a vertically upright metal stretcher , and with self-constraints that emerged from it such as claws to take their places around the neck, arms, legs and mid-sided..her body was fixed in crucified position . there was a circular sensor connected with the head and the three circles on fore head was glowing in a discoloured flash!. In those moments the only organ was moving in her ,, is the eye ball which was scouring the quarries right and left, even her tongue lost the ability to pronounce. that is, she was fully aware of everything going on around her, but she lost the ability to make any reaction even if it were just words leaving her lips!. It was a bright white glass room except for one transparent wall separating it from the next room, through which she could see Ramo pinned to the same posititon but he was blindfolded, and the glare of his circles fixed as it is without dancing!.

No sooner had her eyes fallen on him than she started crying . Inside her, there is a volcano, but its nozzle is completely blocked, her muscles want to jump, want to wriggle away from the restrictions, but the most thing she can do is those tears. In the meantime, there was that strong- brown young man , who was passing crossing points one by one by an electronic screen .. checks his face carefully to eventually give (identity confirmation - permission to cross). Until he finally entered the white room to stand aggressively infront of her tearful eyes.

the eyes met for the first time for along time , when he was visiting her mind in those dreams, his shape was always vague without details , only his general body shape and his distinctive brown color. Now he looks at her and at his best . Sure, he is in control, he has the keys to everything in his hand. He slowly approached her to stretch his hand behind her head, where he pressed a small red button. It was barely minute..the circles extinguished and then she inhaled deeply like she had just survived the drowning, while her body felt he was back in control, so she wriggled into position in an unsuccessful attempt to get away , in front of of him. He spoke quietly:

-Don’t overwhelm your body too much. You know there’s no point in this effort.

She knew it, but it was an automatic reaction from her rested muscle, so she took a deep breath to relax her body and closed her eyes ignoring him. He continued:

- It’s been a long time, Doba! Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She spoke slowly as her tongue was still heavy:

-The only question that’s coming to my mind right now. It’s how I preferred you to Ramo?

- It seems that you deserved exiling to the human world. your mind has human weaknesses probably, so you ended up here.

- Not my mind, you idiot, but the emotion I think you’re completely stripped of.

- Do you think you’re in a position to argue?

- Remember that .. you who came to argue with me, you idiot.

- Oh, Doba got very aggressive!

- What do you want from me now, Dai?

- I was very curious to see you after all those years.

- Have you seen me? So leave , because you contaminated the air enough.

-You don’t really want to ask me anything?

- Will my knowledge make a difference?

- It seems that you have completely failed to recover your old memories.

- I’m really glad I didn’t get back to a past you were in, in the human world death was a distant wish I couldn’t have, now Iam about to get it , What makes me sad is that I hurt Ramo.

- Death is a luxury that you will not get, you will soon be exiled to the land of the deportees, everything you have seen there in the past will be as kids game , when you will enter and see the higher levels in those tests, you will find the real horror there!. Your crime has been proven, since you were caught and mentally you are completely connected to our mental system, where all data and memories are thoroughly analyzed by a dedicated higher body. Do you know what was the result of the analysis ? Do you know what’s in your mind? they found nothing but your memories in the human world, nothing has found to prove that you are one of us! . As for Ramo, they found sufficient evidences of his crime. Moving between the two worlds, bringing human into the island. That’s a great betrayal of our genre. He’s the first criminal in our history.

-You know the whole truth, how can these data and memories not appear in the collective mind?

- Well, you can say that’s one of my unique talents!

- Why did you do all that, Dai?

- To make it brief. I chose to move forward and remove any obstacle on the way up. Even if that obstacle is the girl who...

Silence held his tongue when he felt he started shaking to see her. he approached and pondered her face then he said faintly (you never changed, Doba) and then he approached more and whispered in her ear. (Sorry, it’s all over!).He stretched his finger to press the red button. it was a minute and then Doba came back to her first helpless state!

***

she woke up that day to find her body free from restrictions and her mind fully aware of everything that was going on. The first thing she did when she restored her temporary partial freedom.. was to get up to see Ramo. He was there in the next room, sitting with his back on the clear glass between them, while his eyes was looking at the ceiling in a desperate state . she approached the glass and knocked on it hard, but he didn’t change his session. she knew the walls were soundproof, so she sat beside the the wall while looking at him sadly . It was a minute then he moderated himself to find her shrinked behind the glass. Although glass was a powerful sound barrier, the eyes transported the whole words that they wanted to say . The two shoulders stuck through the polished clear material. she explained the word as much as she can ..(I’m sorry). He shook his head strongly by a rejection mark, and then he pointed with signs to get the following phrase out.. (Think, calm down, you’ll get it back. Believe me.) Tears welled up in her eyes , even in the darkest circumstances he never gave up a moment on his immersive optimistic power, how never did she fall in love with him?! Everything was going to change!

she paid attention to an electronic sound coming from the attic of a wall, she turned to find a digital screen on which was written .. back-to-back phrases and synchronized with the sound:

(completion of comprehensive survey of mental data),

The result... Confirmation of charge... guilty),

Punishment... exiling to the land of the deportees),

Implementation... after two hours

(countdown started),

00..59..2)

At that point, Asia has lost her nerve .she has been spinning and circling in her lock-up as she was squeezing her brain...( I have to remember!) . Ramo stood looking at her with sadness and surrender after the electronic alert appeared in his room too, but she did not pay attention and did not look at him, she just did not stop spinning.

( 00..30..00) ,

(00..15..00)

She ended up lying on the floor and crying sharply , while she turned her back to Ramo, who kept knocking on the glass. That was when she felt that thing between the folds of her clothes. Her hand stretched out, fumbling this soft texture hiding under the clothes. she took it out to find the white lily that she picked from the beach! . She touched her face with it , so the flower became wet from her tears , but it suddenly shined in front of her eyes !. The flash resulted from the white petal’s contact with her salty eye water!.

It’s been a few minutes.. A strong alarm went off in the two rooms, and then the two doors were suddenly opened, but not on the deportees’ land!. Asia rose to face Ramo, who looked at her with stunned eyes, and then he cheered in tears.

(Edit.. Return of mental data.. Citizen.. Doba

(Ramo!)

(I remembered everything!!)

***

With two hands intertwined and steady steps filled with enthusiasm and joy, they left the headquarters of the three moons where the collective mind, where the supreme authority, and where all things are managed on the island. They left after they were officially declared .. they are couple! . Here we see her. Doba that time, not Asia! .The formal features have not changed, but she is very different from human Asia! ..The three circles were not just glowing from the outside, but this glow stemmed from the inside to shine on her face . She was literally alive. Here we see him too. the Featured Dai , but that time he was not at his best , as his mind never stopped thinking about what he intended to do .she spoke in a hilarious accent, extracting him from his fugues:

- I can’t believe we did it!

He said in a representative accent:

- After a long hesitation from Mrs. Doba, she decided to finally concede to marry poor Dai!

She made a faint laugh . her back was surrounded by his arm to get her closer to him.

-Where are we going now?

- Set you up a little surprise on our first night!

She didn’t answer him that time. She suddenly left him speeding towards some one . she was laughing and calling his name:

- Ramo!

A wave of resentment marched inside Dai as he watched her shaking Ramo’s hand eagerly, but he hid it under his sober mask and then he shook his hand too, after which Ramo spoke with an accent that succeeded in concealing his buried feelings:

- Blessed!.. You finally did it!

Doba cheerfully said:

- Your turn will come soon, don’t cheer like that!

- Sure, this is my secret!

- Sly, you hid this from us! , Look at him, Dai . we tell him every step we take while he never reveals his papers to us.

Dai said with a smile:

- you have always been the most sensible and calm between us.

Ramo said:

- Well, go away now . I wish you both happiness.

Doba jabbed him on his shoulder and said, ”

- I will not calm down until I know all the details, your secret will soon be revealed, Ramo.

He said goodbye with a signal from his hand, while Dai’s arm held Doba to complete their walk to their destination... To the beach!

In the land of the lilies that was shining under the silent glow. the two was making love for the first time, in the prescence of the picturesque natural spectacles that silently contained their bodies, while the glow of their circles increased until they almost covered the glow of the three moons. they were waiting for it patiently since their heart was tied to a rope that Doba was thinking it would not be cut forever! . Her head was on his arm and they were looking at the sky. she turned her face to look at him, and then approached to print a deep kiss on his cheek and said:

- It’s cooler than a dream!

she shrank more on his arm, and then he said:

- I know you love the beach, no one here on the island bears attention to the picturesque nature we have .

She laughed and said:

- We live like the robots we made, without soul.

- You differ !

- I’m lucky to have you !

He straighten up to take the seating position and then said , looking at her :

- Okay, how is your new talent?

- I don’t take it seriously, why do you remind me of it so much?!

-You don’t know the value of what you have ! Maybe this talent will get you to the head the Island Council!

She laughed indifferently, saying:

- really?!

- I’ve never met anyone who makes a future event before!

- I have never met anyone who can predict the future with your accuracy!

- My talent is different, I don’t see the future, but I can draw a sequence of events and put possibilities, with certain equations, at the end I can pick one of them . that is, it’s a significant effort, and you can do it while you’re sleeping like that!

she said cunningly:

-truly?!

The next minute, ahigh wave hit them and then suddenly it was gone like nothing was!

He attacked her after he became completely wet,saying :

- Will you practice your games on me?!

She couldn’t stop laughing after he carried her high then he put her down , so she embraced him to force him to stop . she said after she calmed her breath:

- It’s just game , Dai, not more for me . I don’t want to be in a position of power!

-What a humble dignified woman !

- My view of things is different from you, I prefer to enjoy my life without restrictions, but you love positions that allow you to make decisions and orders !. You know, sometimes you scare me!

She suddenly silenced and surrounded his head with her arms . she completed in a serious and slightly stray tone:

- but I love you, I love you very much !

She woke up to the glow of the sun rays the next morning. she yawned, stretched while looking around to remember where she was . she smiled after she remembered the last night, but she did not find her beloved husband next to her. She got up in her light robe to look for him . she walked out of the lilies and trees spot to the roomy beach in front of her. she found him sitting on the turquoise sand looking at the waves. she approached him slowly and then embraced him by the back, so he was surprised .

- you woke up early!

He said with suspicious calm:

- Yes!

she sat next to him and looked carefully at him. she found him a little weary, she spoke as she started to worry:

- What is with you, Dai?

He smiled as much as he could:

- Nothing, I just felt bored because I was alone and I didn’t want to wake you up .

- Didn’t you sleep well?

- Just a few hours but it’s okay, you’re with me now. There’s another little surprise for Doba’s eyes!

She embraced him with joy:

- How cute you are, Dai!

Pointing at the small white boat that had docked close to the beach, he said:

- Do you see this boat? I’ll take you on a cruise!

- What?!

- Scared?!

-I don’t know, but no one from the island has ever been in the sea . I thought that was forbidden!

- Now you know the value of being in power! That’s just permissible for me!

- I don’t know Dai, I really like sea, but I don’t imagine being inside it!

- it is new and great experience, you will thank me for it!

She said hesitantly:

- Okay!

- Don’t you trust your husband?

- Of course I trust you, but I just a little scared!

He rose and gave his hand to her , then he said:

-It’s going to be the greatest experience you have ever had!

Not much time passed until they got on the boat, and the beach became out of sight! looking at the blue horizon, she said:

- Didn’t we get too far, Dai?

- Don’t be afraid , enjoy the moment and let the fear, look at all this beauty around you!

- Yes, the sea is picturesque and scary at the same time!

She felt a thin texture on her cheek, to find a white lily .. Dai picked it for her . She smiled and said with gratitude:

- you do not forget any details !

He took her hand to stand on the tip of the boat, then took the flower from her and bent down to cover it with the salt water of the sea and said:

- Look at it!

Just as you see it....melted , crumpled, its old white light dulled, extinguished as every living thing dying and the magical glow that makes it live, eat, drink, breed ..left it for ever . But by the next moment , once the petals touch the salt water, you can see it! That glow that infiltrates the severed stem into the glass carrying the petals and then slowly spreads upwards like a snake, encircling leaves and petals, so the flower recovered as a pretty bride down the water!. It’s life after death, glow after extinguishment, dawn after long darkness!

Doba touched the top of her forehead where the illuminated circles :

- I feel like I’m connected to it !

- You’re already connected to it , Doba!

The white glass boat swayed on the water , Although it is unfair to call it a boat.. It is closer to a small yacht . Quiet little waves pass from below to give it localized movement as a baby cradle wiggled by his mother, while that girl lies on her belly with her chest on the tip of the boat and looks carefully at that white lily on which she hold under water and pulses with a dazzling flash!! .. That’s how love memory is among lovers. A speech or flower sheet turns to expensive jewels in the hearts of lovers and this white flower was one of those memories. A young man with dark skin stands behind her , a fateful decision he contemplates, and the emotion mixed by confusion that squeezes his heart... I have to do it now...That’s his mind screamed ! He slowly approached her while she was in other worlds with the flower down the water. A deep breath and then he knelt down to touch her bare white foot . she noticed and looked at him with a smile filled with love. He wanted to smile, but his lips had a strange expression between smiling and screaming of inner conscience, but he didn’t think much. He closed his eyes and lifted her feet high. She gave a scream mixed with a laugh as she assumed it is a joke, laugh quickly disappeared after she saw the features of his rigid face, and replaced by horror and disbelief!. Water made its familiar sound when it swallows something. The three circles of the killer’s front sparkled more, his sweetheart’s front circles and the white lily in her hand do the same .. Down the water!!

***

this night , the city was wearing its lustre light as the glowing circles on the forehead of its citizens. The noise of life increased that very special night, and all the glass facades of the high-rise buildings was conveying to them the details of that event moment-by-moment . In slow strides he was walking around the streets and pondering faces as he also came back to life that night. Finally , reassurance and comfort found their way into his heart after a long parting, and since he lost her !. He stopped on the outskirts of the plaza containing the three moon building where it is completely transformed into a display screen. Ramo and everyone paid attention and their eyes hung on the glass, the time seemed to have stopped, as seconds later , they would witness the return of first exiled to her homeland again, after the first crime was committed in their history!.

When Dai drew up future possibilities to assure his position of power, he found that Doba was an impediment to ninety percent of it. With her new talents and abilities, she will overtake him and get the site he has always dreamed of..head of the Three Moons Council. Having committed his crime and exiled her to the land of mankind, he did not know that this event would result in - at the long term - his removal from the whole island and not only from the Council. That is, he has a worse future. Now , Doba’s mental data has returned to the collective mind, his crime has become clear in every details and intentions, so he has been sentenced for exile to the ground of deportees . Where the real horror as he told Doba , and where he will be mentally and physically drained for the last drop, to benefit the collective mind of the city. As for Doba,despite the horror of what she was subjected to, her tragedy has earned her other strengths! . After Adam’s birth, who - by the nature of their composition - will have a higher capacity than her, and after careful examination of his mental data, it was clear to everyone that he is a miracle child for their genre and that sooner or later he will preside over the Council, especially as mental abilities grow stronger after puberty!.

For her, her circles remained extinguished even after the return of memory and unfortunately , she probably will not restore her old abilities, so this tribute ceremony was made for her, where her mind will be linked to the collective mind in an event that the whole city will see , to return one of them!.

Now Doba appears in a fluffy robe that has made her like the queen, walking through a long corridor until she reaches that rostrum on which the Council’s elders stood. Slowly she turns around to confront the cameras and the crowd. the president of the council steps forward to put a metal bracelet around her extinguished forehead. Seconds pass. she smilse and Ramo shares her the same smile as he watches the screens. Now she’ll glow as that white lily glowed when it touched the salty water ! Now the darkness within her will break to replace it with light. Now the circles are glowing and turning back to their old reign. Now she officially comes back one of them, thanks to the glow ... Lilies glow!

****

He shrinked on himself in a helpless and trembling embryonic position, while his eyes attached to the timer on top of the wall and it was about to come to an end. The pores of his tan skin sweats extensively, and the tears pour to drown the ground..he’s been losing his body fluids since he’s here. Suddenly, The whistle went off and the door opened wide on a smoky land like it was at the foot of a volcanic mountain! . he backed off and stuck more against the wall.. he screamed .. I’m not going out! , but that octopus hand stretched inside the room, forcing him to jump out, to become officially inside the deportees’ land!
