Doomsday Pillars

Hendrik got a called from his brother to come and pick him up at the airport...

"This guy has been doing strange things the last couple of weeks... he forces us to move to Bali, then he left us here, now when I was actually having fun with those two Australian chicks, this brother of mine had to bother me with picking him up.. can"t he just take taxi or Grabcar?"

"Where is he now? he" so lateeeee..."

"Wow there is a beautiful bule (blonde) there.. she"s really my type... Wow the women next to her is even better... they both look like a supermodel..., that guy in the middle... what a lucky lucky guy..."

"That guy looks familiar..."

"..."

"That"s my brother..."

"Alex...." yoo.. brother I am here!!"

Alex walks closer to him..."There you are... ok lets go.."

"What do you mean let"s go..? you haven"t introduced me to these two lovely ladies..."

"Halo.. my name is Hendrik, Alex"s unmarried brother.."

Alex introduced both of the women to him. Although Cindy looks like a book-smart person with gla.s.ses and short hair, she"s very energetic and friendly. While Aria is the complete opposite.

The reason Alex called his brother was exactly that he knows his brother really well. If his brother has the ability, he would move heaven and earth for beautiful babes. Therefore he asks his brother to bring Cindy and Aria for a tour around Bali... Although Alex has many things he has to prepare, today is family time. Aria and Cindy understood, Alex told them to meet again tomorrow at the Bay city villa. Meanwhile, Hendrik will be their guide today...

After all, what would his wife think if she saw these two women with him...

Alex went directly to the hotel, his family has a tour around different hotel the last 2 weeks, Alex sort of confuse which one they are staying right now.

Alex found them in Ritz Carlton hotel, one of the best five-star hotel in Bali. The hotel has its own private beach, the sand is white... His family is there. His wife Devita, older daughter Tiffany and little one Tiarra.

Tiffany is very energetic and playful kids, she smiles a lot and likes to prank on people. While Tiarra is very strict and serious like her mother, She is very disciplined but stubborn. At the moment both the girl are playing sand on the white beach, their mom is enjoying a fruit juice in the cabana.

The girls saw their Dad... "DADDDYYYYY!!!"

"Heii girls" They both hug him from both sides... This is one of the great things of having a family"

"Daddy you went away so longgggg"

"I am very sorry girls"

"Daddy help us built sand castles"

Alex has an architectural degree, he and the girls ended up spend a few hours on the castle and built an almost real size one... His wife just smiling looking at them. Lastly, Alex pulled his wife and the four of them create a sands statue of themselves. His wife has a cla.s.sic Polaroid camera, they took pictures of four of them with the sand statue, the castle and the sunset in the background. They have a little group hug that afternoon on the white sand beach...

Alex suddenly lost in thought... today he"s very happy, he will keep this memory forever...

He closes his eyes, suddenly he thought of that grey figure guy, even if this world is only a dream, he is thankful for this moment, he"s thankful for the second chance.

The storm will come in 12 days, it"s about time to prepare his family, they should not be in the dark any longer.

The family then went to a fancy Balinese restaurant for dinner, afterward returning back to the hotel, Alex took the little girls to their bed, read them some kids fantasy novel and tug their blanket to sleep. Hugs and Kisses, "Good night girls".

Alex went to the other room his wife is here, she apparently just finished taking shower, wet hair was randomly hanging over her shoulders.

"Thank you for taking the girls to bed tonight"

Alex replied, "Your welcome, I hope I can do it more often"

They have been married for 13 years, Although Alex is all smiley and laughing today, she knows that there is something that bothers him for the last few weeks. The sudden move to Bali, the crazy work schedule, and missing for a week.

"Do you want to tell me what"s going on now?"

Alex look at his wife, she"s always been smart, but not now...

Alex moves closer to his wife and hugs her deeply, she was startled. Alex moves took her by surprise. He hugs her for almost one full minute, and she slowly moves her arms and hugs back. He really needs this, the 11 years of pain seems gradually disappearing. Alex can taste the wonderful smell of shampoo from his wife"s hair, he gently kissed her on her ear and down to her neck, she involuntarily moaned a little. Alex sways back a little looking at her eyes then slowly move forward and felt a pair of soft lips, they become entangled in a kiss. it was a pa.s.sionate night.

Another day has pa.s.sed. In the morning while Devita is still asleep, Alex was in deep thought. Revealing about the doomsday to his wife will be harder than anyone else. Although they just had a memorable night, he knows that actually, their relations.h.i.+p is a bit complicated.

Its a very cla.s.sic marriage story, two-person was in love, but when children were moving into the picture, they were unaware that their relations.h.i.+p starts to move closer towards their children, and further away between each other.

On Alex previous life the death of Tiffany broke them apart. That is the main reason that Alex was unable to protect them both. So he really needs to handle this news about the end of days delicately.

A few minutes later Devita awake... and saw Alex staring at her then speak;

"Its time for you to know what I have been doing the last few weeks"

Alex sound really serious, this has startle his wife.

Alex told her that he got news about a plague that would spread at the end of the year.. he told her that he and a few other people even the military have prepared a survival shelter here in Bali. The last few weeks he got more support and more proof about this plague will happen even the extraterrestrial existence that might involve.

Devita was stunned, she doesn"t know how to answer... His husband likes to joke around.. and this time its a bit too far she thinks...

"I planned to take you for a trip today, to see the shelter and the preparation. I will introduce you to some people and I want you to monitor the situation. I will answer any of your questions later on today"

Alex left his two daughters to their grandparents and went together to the Bay city with his wife.
