“Philip…. is this real? Or it is just a silly joke?” One woman was crying in the bed. She kept pulling her hair strongly like she was trying to find answers from it.
” You have told me that you will leave this world later than me because you know I could not bear with it…” She kept murmuring with crying tone.
“ Now you are gone!! Why did you arrange this silly party. You could leave earlier as you said. You are so stupid”
A non-stop talk from women appeared to my ear. It sounded like Joliet but it was so sad and hoarse.
Initially I didn’t know where I was. The angel ( I assume he is Michael) just took my hand and at one glance I was here….
This place looks like a hotel room….
Oh yes, Joliet told me she would come to Istanbul for a business trip. She said there will be a big deal there and she has to take care some important clients.… This must be her hotel room.
The room was very luxurious and spacious. You could see besides the bed Joliet was on, there was a big wardrobe with a 3 seater sofa in this room. The shoes and the bikini she showed me early on were laying there with other luggages. The most stunning feature of this room is the view, you could see Ayasofya Muzesi from the window.

Joliet was laying on her bed. She was wearing a black skin tight body suit. She was crying quietly….and loudly… and quietly… The air conditioning was blowing hard in the room. However Joliet looked pretty wet. I was not sure it was because her non-stop tears or it was simply she was sweating.
Joliet kept talking to herself. She ooked cold and calm this moment… Then she cried loudly and lose the control the next second…
I could tell Jolie must have lost her mind…. I have never saw her like this. She always stayed calm, even when she was very very mad….
Deeply in my mind I knew, she must be very very sad… about me. My heart felt pain again. What in my mind now was to comfort her.
” Maybe I just need to take a nap… it is just a dream, you will be here again when I am up”.
Joliet talked to herself and gave herself a big smile. She looked like she had decided maybe the magic will happen after she woke up.
After Joliet finished this saying, I saw Joliet took off her suit, then took a gun out of her pillow.
“ What? Gun? Why does she have a gun?? Is she going to kill herself? Oh no!!” I was shocked when I saw Joliet took a gun out. I turned my head and looked at Michael. I believe I looked like a maniac at that time.
“ Just stay calm. She will be fine”
Michael broken this silence and talked me….
I turned my head back and looked at Joliet. Michael was right. Joliet just left the gun on her night stand; the night stand was filled with lots of empty liquor bottles. Then she felt asleep.
“ Phew, my poor Joliet” I felt relived and sad at the same time.
“ So now you have met her. We shall leave for now. But don’t worry, she will be yours soon”. Michael talked to me again. His saying got my attention.
” Sure, yes, thank you for bringing me here to see her again. Wait…, you said she will be mine? What did you mean?” I was still focusing on Joliet and did not pay much attention at what Michael said.
I did not understand what Michael meant ” she will be yours later”. I thought I could only see her one more time then I have to leave her forever.
“ I said, you will return to her and she will be yours when you complete the guardian internship” Michael explained.
“Guardian angel internship?” I repeated
” Yes, technically you are her guardian angel in probation period now”. Michael looked at me with a glance of smile.
” Her guardian angel!! Yeah.. that sounds cool!” I could not control myself and started to cheer up.
” A guardian angel… means I can be with her all the time. This is so gooooood!!” I kept thinking and could not stop my smiling.
“ Yeah, if I am her guardian angel, I could see her and stay with her all the time. I see, that was God’s arrangement.” I became very cheerful.
I became more calm, I realise I have to fulfill the condition what God arranged, so I could return to Joliet and maybe stay with her for long time.
“So what shall I do to be her guardian angel properly?”
I don’t want to ruin this opportunity. so I decided to stay cool and asked Michael formally
“ Firstly you need to learn the rules of being a guardian angel. I will teach you step by step. Then you will have opportunities to practice all knowledge and skills you’ve learn. Afterwards you will be her official guardian angel officially”. Michael explained to me patiently.
” Protect her, keep her safe.. And keep the others safe” Michael added, then he gave me a larger smile.
” keep her safe.. And keep the others safe? But I will be her guardian angel only….will I also become other people’s guardian angels? Strange..”
I felt so confused and kept thinking about what Michael said. I would like to ask Michael more but before that I would like to check if Joliet was feeling better. When I raised my head and tried to find out how Joliet was, I have noticed that we have left her hotel room and in a path with rapid shooting lights.
“ Let’s start.” Michael stood next to me and said.
