A psychic thriller interlaced with mystery, romance and emotion.
My experience with dreams & life events made me write this fictional story.
Prologue
“In the still of night, an angel appeared to Joseph in a dream, bearing a divine message. The angel revealed that Mary’s unborn child was the Son of God, sent to save humanity. With faith and obedience, Joseph was instructed to take Mary as his wife and name the child Jesus, the Savior of the world.”
In Buddhist literature, Queen Maya’s conception dream is revered:
On a full moon night, Queen Maya fell into a deep sleep. Four devas lifted her to a serene Himalayan Lake, where they bathed, perfumed, and adorned her with flowers. A majestic white bull elephant, clutching a white lotus, appeared. It circled her three times, struck her right side, and vanished into her. Awakened, Queen Maya felt an intense energy. She shared the dream with King Suddhodana. The elephant symbolized greatness, so the king consulted 64 brahmans. They prophesied that the child would either conquer the world or renounce it. This child was Gautama Buddha.
In the epic Mahabharata, Karna shares a prophetic dream with Lord Krishna:
“I envisioned Yudhisthira and his brothers ascending to a majestic, thousand-pillared palace, adorned in white turbans and robes. Yudhisthira consumed the earth, symbolizing his impending reign. Then, I saw myself and other kings riding a camel cart to Yama’s abode, destined to face the fiery wrath of Gandiva.”
Karna interprets the dream, “The outcome is certain: slaughter will befall Duryodhana and the assembled kings in battle.”
In Islamic tradition, Prophet Ibrahim had a disturbing dream:
One night, Prophet Ibrahim dreamed that Allah commanded him to sacrifice his beloved son, Ishmael. Believing it to be the whisper of Shaytan, Ibrahim dismissed the dream. However, the next night, the same dream recurred. Recognizing Allah’s will, Ibrahim accepted the challenge, trusting in His wisdom.
Ibrahim shared the dream with Ismail, who, demonstrating unwavering faith, submitted to Allah’s command. Together, they set out to fulfill the divine decree. As they reached the designated spot, Allah intervened, replacing Ismail with a ram. This trial of faith cemented Ibrahim’s devotion and Ismail’s willingness to surrender to Allah’s plan. This event is commemorated annually during Eid al-Adha [Festival of Sacrifice].
New York City-USA
The British brought slaves from Africa to USA in the 16th century. The descendants of them are the twin sisters-Elizabeth and Helen living in New York city and they endured a lifetime of color discrimination. Despite overcoming adversity, they became medical professionals – Elizabeth, a gynecologist, and Helen, a nurse – working together at Glen Lenox Hospital, New York.
One fateful night, they attended to two pregnant patients: Carol, a white woman, and Nancy, a black woman, both harboring deep-seated hatred for the opposite race. Elizabeth, a gynecologist, and Helen, a nurse, were dismayed by their patients’ attitudes. Amidst a busy night with 10 deliveries, they navigated the complexities of racial tension. In America, parents must pre-select names for birth registration. Carol and Nancy had chosen names for both boy and girl possibilities. As the night unfolded, Elizabeth and Helen witnessed the miracle of life yet struggled with the entrenched prejudices surrounding them.
December 8, Glen Lenox Hospital, New York
Winter’s gentle snowfall enveloped Glen Lenox Hospital, but inside, a dramatic scene unfolded. Twin sisters Elizabeth and Helen, obstetrician and nurse, had just performed complex cesarean operations on Carol and Nancy. As the new mothers regained consciousness, they were met with astonishment and disbelief. Carol, the white woman, cradled a beautiful black baby boy, whom she named Michael. Nancy, the black woman, gazed lovingly at her white baby boy, Paul.
Stunned and confused, both women struggled to comprehend the unexpected twist. Their husbands, reeling in shock, doubted their wives’ fidelity and abandoned their families.
That night, the black boy Michael and white boy Paul do not know that their lives are intertwined by fate and how it is going to unfold!
