Raguel arrived at the warehouse, he stood close to the window staring at nothing in particular,

he knows Raphael will take a while to get there.

He thought about the kiss he shared with his soulmate,

that alone brought smile to his face, he just can't wait to get back to his soulmate.

Raphael landed in the warehouse, Raguel turned after sensing the presence of his friend.

Hey, Raphael said and move closer to Raguel

Hey, Raguel replied with a smile

He was really lucky that Raphael always comes to his aid whenever he needed him

He just wished Raphael soulmate did not die

 at least Raphael will have every reason to smile.

He remember when he was still heaven,

the way Raphael's eyes always lit up with joy and happiness, 

Whenever  he is around his soulmate

but now, he just seem to be existing and not really living.

Raguel closed the distance between them and hug his friend the man who raised him in heaven tightly.

Raphael was surprised by the hug, he knows they hug occasionally, but this particular hug felt different.

Are you alright? Raphael asked

Raguel signed softly, I was just thinking about your soulmate, he said

not wanting to tell a lie because he knows Raphael will see through his lie

and he will always point it out to him that he is telling a lie.

You know when she was around you are always happy, Raguel added,

Raphael pushed back a little so he could see Raguel face, 

Am happy, knowing that you are here,

I miss my soulmate everyday,

you would have been everything I and my soulmate would have wished for, Raphael said softly.

And I will always be here for you Ralph, you are my father, Raguel said

That statement only, brought light into Raphael's face,

he pulled Raguel back into his arms and hugged him tightly.

I love you Ralph, Raguel said, with a smile on his face, 

I love you too son, Raphael replied with tears slipping down from his eyes touching Raguel

Raguel pulled back a little and wiped the tears out of Raphael eyes with a smile.

Few minutes later, when they both calm Raphael finally speaks up

You said you wanted to see me, Raphael asked 

Yes, where you able to get any information from samael, Raguel asked

Yes I was able to get somethings from him, Raphael said

He was aware of those two Angels and he said the demons think Elena is a threat to them.

What do you mean by threat? Raguel asked with a frown on his face.

Since we all know Elena is not entirely human and she is also bonded with an Angel,

so they think that makes her a threat, they think she is very powerful Raphael added.

Raguel looked slightly confused by Raphael's statements

As a human that Elena is, she is very special,

she has some potential within her that is hidden deeply,

bonded with an Angel like yourself makes the bond you share special,

Raphael said, trying to clear the confusion that is written all over Raguels face.

So right now, we should found out what Elena truly is? Raguel asked

Yes, Raphael said simply

Will you ask samael for help? Raguel asked, since he seems to know so much he added.

I already did but he declined, Raphael said,

rembering the worried look that was in his friend face when they spoke.

Why would he declined to help out? Raguel said,

is it because am a banished Angel, thats why he is refusing to help

Raphael jerked his head and looked at Raguel.

No, thats not the reason, Raphael quickly defended his friend,

samael is not judgmental he added

He said he has his problems he was facing, and he needs to handle them,

thats why he could not help Raphael said.

What kind of problems Raguel asked?

That I do not know, because he refused to tell me his problems,

If he had not hurried out of heaven after he talked to me,

I would have continue asking him about his problems until he finally tells me.

Raguel smiled at that statement, he knows Raphael could be persuasive sometimes

and its really hard not to tell him something when he is very determined to know.

Raguel thought about telling Raphael about what he observed about Elena's father but he quickly shake the idea off.

"Maybe am just paranoid", he thought to himself.

Okay then, I need to head back to Elena, 

Sure, Raphael said with a smile, see you soon he added as Raguel flashed his wings and left.

 

Xxxxxxxx     xxxxxxxx.   Xxxxxx

Raguel landed outside Elena's house  he wanted to survey the environment

before he will make his way to Elena's room but that was short lived because Maria came outside.

Hey there, she said

Raguel turned to looked at Elena's mother, 

Hi, he said with a smile 

You looking for someone she asked eyeing him

Yes, am looking for Elena he said

Oh, maria said cheerfully,

its been a long time since Elena had any of her friends come visit,

so that means this young man must be a special friend of Elena's ,she thought to herself

why don't you come inside, she said

Raguel followed Maria into the house 

Elena! Maria called out

Yes mom, Elena replied

You have a visitor she said stressing the word visitor 

Elena wonder who her visitor was as she made her way to the living room,

she stopped in her tracks when she noticed Raguel seated in her living room, 

Raguel winked at her and smiled.

Are you going to stand there all day, maria asked, giving her daughter a knowing look

Won't you introduce me to your friend, she said with raised eyebrows

Elena then realized that her mother was still in the living room,

Mom, this is Raguel Elena introduced her Angel with a proud smile.

Raguel, Maria repeated,

its really an unusual name she said with a smile as she stretch her hands for a handshake 

Its nice to meet you she said

its really not a common name Raguel said  as he shook her hands with a smile,

its nice to me you Ma,

Oh please call me Maria, she said smiling.

Maria went close to her daughter and whispered softly

He is a handsome young man, she said as she winked at her daughter

Mom!  Elena said, blushing slightly

Okay, Maria said as she raised her hands in surrender, 

I was just stating the obvious she said as she patted her daughter.

Raguel sat quietly and listen to their conversation,

even though their voices were low, he could still make out what they were saying 

Will like to stay for lunch, Maria asked 

Sure Maria, I would loved too

Mom we will be upstairs Elena said as she pulled Raguel from the couch 

Okay, I will call you guys when am done, Maria said smiling.

Elena looked at her mother one last time 

Maria gave her a thump's up

before she disappeared into her bedroom with her Angel smiling widely.
