My Emotionless Goddess

The following morning, Ezekiel was the first to wake up. By the time Lucia woke up, she found Ezekiel ready with two packed suitcases.

” Good morning my Queen.” Ezekiel greeted pecking her lips.

” Morning.” Lucia replied, eyeing him then added,” going somewhere?” She inquired. Yesterday, he didn’t mention going anywhere. What was more surprising was the fact that one of the suitcases belonged to her.

” Yes, we are going somewhere.” Ezekiel replied with a smile on his face. After last night, he figured out that before going to meet his maker, he might as well fulfil some of the wishes piled up. He had always wanted to tour the world with the woman he loved. He still had like three weeks before completely losing his sight, he might as well take advantage of that available time and fulfil that wish.

” You didn’t mention something about that yesterday!” Lucia stated.

” I decided on it overnight. I want to take you on a vacation as we tour the world together. After this month, I’ll be busy with company matters so what better time than now?” Ezekiel said excitedly but how could Lucia not notice the sadness between his words. The unsettling feeling ploughed her heart yet again but she did her best to smile at him.

” You are so thoughtful. How did you know I wanted to do this?” Lucia said, kissing his cheeks loudly.

” I only get a kiss?” Ezekiel complained with a pout.

” What else do you want?” Lucia asked and the thoughts of their bed activities last night flashed in her mind making her face turn beet red like a monkey’s butt.

” This is what I want.” Ezekiel said and without waiting captured Lucia’s lips with his in a passionate kiss. The kiss was deep, expressing feelings of longing and desire. They separated to breathe.

” We are leaving at twenty. Get ready, I’ll pack your breakfast.” Ezekiel informed and left the room downstairs to give her time to prepare herself.

Minutes later, they drove to the airport. The flights were already booked but they had to wait for twenty minutes before the plane took off. Ezekiel preferred boarding public planes other than Private planes. Since they would be travelling from one place to another, he figured out that a public plane would be more convenient considering that some countries had strict rules governing private jets landing in their soils.

” To Mexico City?” Lucia asked, staring at the boarding pass in her hands.

” Yes baby, to Mexico City.” Ezekiel replied excitedly.

The flight took off at the scheduled time. After four hours of flying, the plane finally landed in the Mexico City international airport. Kiel, as the ever meticulous person, had already booked their hotel room and arranged for the hotel van to pick them up at the airport. Lucia, who had been sleeping throughout the flight, was wide awake as she appreciated the beauty of the city through the car windows.

” Mexico City is one among the world’s most visited tourist centres. Its buildings and other structures scream of ancient culture.” Lucia commented. She had read history in her higher secondary and Mexico City was discussed. Although she loathed the subject back in the days, sfe still paid attention to the things that piqued her interest.” You are right about that. Although when you hear the word Mexico, all you think about is drug trafficking ,

Although she loathed the subject back in the days, sfe still paid attention to the things that piqued her interest.” You are right about that. Although when you hear the word Mexico, all you think about is drug trafficking, it is still a major tourist attraction site. Art and culture are deeply rooted in the city, not forgetting that if you want the Best reggaeton music, then Mexico City will be your best choice.

” Is that why your first stop was this City?” Lucia asked the obvious. Ezekiel was fond of reggaeton music. That was something you could never miss in his phone. Everytime be drove, he would connect his phone with the car system and play songs by his favourite reggaeton band, CNC O.

” You Know me best m CNCO will be performing tonight, i booked us a VVIP spot so that you can accompany me.” He replied. It was his dream to watch his favourite band perform live on stage, so when he got a notification last night about their surprise concert, he couldn’t stop himself from attending .

After arriving at the hotel, they were received well and led to their ensuite where they would be spending the night. He then ordered lunch for both of them. After lunch, they took a walk down the streets of Mexico admiring the deeply rooted culture embedded in every building standing in the city. In the evening, they took a nap and only woke at seven to prepare for the concert.

Being VVIP, the last of their worries was arriving early to look for good spots. Their spot was already reserved which had the best view and very few people making it comfortable for Lucia who was pregnant. She was thankful that he did everything with her in mind. At eight thirty, the cloth covering the stage was lowered revealing the band members who were looking all dashing and handsome. The crowd shouted, filling the whole hall with noise.

Tonight

Tonight, the band was set to perform three songs. The first on the list was Hey DJ which just happened to be Ezekiel’s favourite song. He sang alongside them. The second to follow was reggaeton lento and tan saw the show to an end. The audience was screaming wildly as they danced to the tunes. Even Lucia found herself enjoying tonight. Seeing Kiel Happy brought contentment to her. They returned home late and due to exhaustion, they immediately fell asleep.

The following day they toured different places surrounding the magical City. In the evening, they took a flight to Beijing, China.

Ezekiel had always wanted to visit the great Wall that was believed to be thousands of miles long. Since with Lucia’s condition they couldn’t Walk, he hired a private jet to get them around. They also visited the Tang’s dynasty royal palace where it was believed to host the kings and Queens in the ancient times. Through their visit at the palace, they learnt a lot about Chinese culture, food and dressings. They also learnt that a dragon represented the king while a phoenix represented the Royal Queen.

The following day, they flew to Japan. Ezekiel took Lucia to the temple to pray. They also went to write their wishes at the wishing pavilion. It was believed that writing your wishes to the wishing pavilion, the Buddha would fulfil them for you. Ofcourse Ezekiel didn’t believe in that but he knew Lucia was a believer so he went there purposely to accompany her. In his wish list he wrote the only wish he had in mind. He wished that after his death, Lucia would forget him, move on and be happy. Ironically, Lucia wished the opposite. She wished for her heart to always remember the days he made her happy and forever be bound to him, heart, body and soul.

The two continued touring different countries. They would capture those memories with the camera Ezekiel bought. When Lucia asked him why they needed to document everything, Ezekiel replied that they would show their future daughter about their family moments. Who would have thought that it was just an excuse he gave to hide his condition from her. To prevent his nose bleeds during their vacation, Ezekiel had taken a strong medicine the doctor had said that it could suppress the frequent nosebleeds but would worsen his situation and lower his days of being alive. But Ezekiel took the medicine nevertheless, as long as he could spend some quality time with his beloved, shortening his life span didn’t matter. Afterall, he was bound to die. A Few days earlier Made no difference to him. They would spend the day touring and make love at night. Then he would stay awake admiring the woman in his bed as guilt and regret ate him up. He was reluctant to leave her, he didn’t want to be separated from her but what options did he have? The grim reaper would Soon visit him claiming his life. So he could only stay awake admiring her, making sure that her image was deeply imprinted in his mind. Even in death, he wanted her picture to be the only thing that accompanied him to the netherworld.
