Miraculous Reunion

Madison and Elizabeth were the only ones in the open-air lobby of the Aurora Royal Palace Hotel and Resort the morning Elizabeth arrived on Aurora, a small Pacific Island Nation. This was probably the most memorable event of their lives - - their 30 year reunion. It was such an unexpected, breath taking and miraculous event that took them by surprise and disbelief; it was an astounding reunion. They could not believe their eyes! They stopped walking and just stared at each other in total disbelief as their deep memories and emotions rose to the surface. Their emotions suddenly wanted to be free of any constraints, but neither would dare act out their primal emotional desires. Instead, they looked at each other as their hearts beat rapidly and their facial expressions filled with surprise, happiness, and awe. It had been so many years since they saw each other, held each other and professed their love to each other; suddenly, it seemed like yesterday.

They finally moved toward each other slowly, looked into each other's eyes, and saw the past relationship flash before them. They knew instantly that what had been between them 30 years ago had just resumed with a resounding explosion of emotional instincts and desires for each other. Their reunion instantly opened the door to their past, and their passionate love affair exactly where it left off 30 years ago. However, this time, they were two very different people. They were older, wiser and had 30 years of different life experiences behind them.

Now senior citizens, they stood quietly, looking at each other in total disbelief, their minds were racing with instant flash backs to the first time they met, got acquainted, and began to spend a lot of time together initially just talking and learning about each other. They were intrigued by the richness of their different cultures, languages, customs, and traditions. Initially, their differences was the magnet that captured their curiosity that later developed into a friendship that grew into an intense love affair. As friends and lovers, they were drawn to each other like magnets and their lives and love for each other grew deeper, exciting, fascinating, and even a little mysterious. Over a five-year period, their relationship grew stronger and deeper for each other and both realized that their relationship was one of true love and commitment to each other and their relationship.

They learned a lot about each other and shared their rich family histories, professional experiences, different life styles, cultures, languages, customs, music, and favorite foods. They really enjoyed being with each other and found themselves spending more and more time together developing their special friendship that ultimately resulted into a powerful love relationship that abruptly and sadly ended but emotionally, only buried in the abyss of their souls.

Suddenly, while standing and looking astonished at each other, the President's guards interrupted their quiet moment of shock and surprise when they moved closer to him. At that moment, Madison knew he had to leave but wanted to make sure he would be able to see Elizabeth again before she left Aurora. With his back toward his guards, Madison hurriedly whispered to Elizabeth, "I have to go but I would like to see you again, are you staying here?" She said, "Yes." Then, he whispered, "What is your room number?" She whispered the room number and he said, "I will call you later today." Then he left with his two guards and Elizabeth returned to her hotel room in awe and a racing heartbeat. She could not believe that after 30 years, she had accidently run into Madison, and discovered that he is now the President of his nation. Oh goodness, this is hard to believe! She was so excited and could hardly wait to receive his phone call. She had so many questions she wanted to ask him. She had so much about her life she wanted to share. A miracle had just happened and both could hardly concentrate on anything else but the experience they just shared in the lobby.

Elizabeth would not dare leave her hotel room for fear she would miss Madison's telephone call; she was so excited and anxious to speak with him, while at the same time, hoping he would in fact make that call. She could hardly focus her attention on anything else at that moment except Madison and their conversation in the lobby. She tried to keep herself busy preparing for her work while in her room, but found it difficult to think about work and stay focused. She was feeling excited and even a little anxious; yet, very happy that she was going to hear from the man who stole her heart, captured her soul, and confessed his love to her many years ago. She was restless and her mind was racing; there were so many memories and thoughts from the past flooding her mind and competing for time and consideration. In an effort to settle down, she picked up the telephone, called Room Service, and ordered lunch. However, she felt full and too excited to eat when the food arrived. She sat at the table in her room and looked at her lunch in front of her. She kept watching the telephone and looking at her watch every few minutes.

She was restless and could hardly wait to receive Madison's call; she wanted to hear the telephone ring. She tried to read the newspaper given to hotel guests each morning, but could not concentrate on what she was reading. She folded the newspaper, put it on the table, leaned her head back, and closed her eyes in an effort to calm herself down and relax. The telephone ring startled her; she was slowly drifting asleep in the chair. She answered the telephone and heard the mellow voice of Madison greeting her warmly, then asked, "May I stop by in a couple of hours, I want to see you, but I have a meeting first." Elizabeth said, "Yes, I would like to see you also." Then Madison said, "Okay, I will be there in a couple of hours." "She said, "Fine, I look forward to seeing you again." They said, "Goodbye" and hung up. She was so full of emotions that she tried to calm herself by deep breathing and remembering that her relationship with Madison was over 30 years ago ... She thought, "Calm down Elizabeth, calm down."

When Madison arrived, Elizabeth had dressed nicely for his visit and made sure her hair and make-up were...
