FINAL
From U.S Bah ❤✌?
Again…
The helicopter soars over the most beautiful land Effe has ever
seen.
It is an island. The gentle sea surrounds it, lapping gently on
its shores.
The tall royal palms and well-pruned greens gives the beaches
an exotic look.
On the northern part of the beach is a little harbour, and
moored along its edges are two luxurious boats, a few
powered canoes, water skiers and other machines she has
never seen before.
The helicopter banks and the pilot hovers over a mini-airport.
When they get down Effe can see another luxurious helicopter
and a jet plane in their hangars.
EFFE
You have your own island?
Your own harbour and your own
airport?
Chris smiles down at her and leans over to ki-ss her long and
gently.
CHRIS
Not me, my darling. It is for us now.
EFFE
(in awe)
My lord!
When the helicopter lands, she is whipped throu-ghthe airport
to an incredible carport, where they sit in a sleek black mini-
limousine.
They drive throu-ghthe most incredible land Effe has ever seen.
She sees his personal hospital, his laundry, his filling station,
restaurant, and a banking hall.
They are surrounded by natural vegetation, and when they
leave the hub of buildings behind they travel throu-ghthe most
beautiful landscape she has ever seen.
She screams suddenly when she sees two lions roar out of the
nearby bushes, and moments later she sees a gigantic
anaconda gliding past, and then, incredibly, the limousine
takes a bend and she sees an amazing garden.
It is covered in green. There are pools, little rivers, waterfalls,
hills, valleys, and all around many other species of animals.
Giraffes, cheetahs, sheep, orang-utans … all of them milling
around gently. Suddenly a terrible-looking giant dinosaur
appears and run along the sides of the limousine, and she
clutches Chris’ arm with a little cry of fear.
Chris holds her and smiles lovingly into her eyes.
CHRIS
Relax, my darling. They’re not real. I got some Hollywood
designers to create all these synthetic machine replicas of
animals. They’re like robots, but with advanced functionalities.
EFFE
(with great amazement)
Dear Lord!
Chris tells the driver to stop, and then he winds down the
window.
The dinosaur lowers its head, and sticks its giant mouth and
terrible teeth into the car.
CHRIS
This is Helen. Say hi.
Effe sticks her hand out, a little fearfully at first, because the
giant animal is so real.
The dinosaur nuzzles her hand, and then it turns and runs in
the other direction.
CHRIS
They are all programmed to give them life-like movements.
Look over there! That’s where we’ll be married in a week’s
time!
It is the most exotic location she has ever seen. It’s like a glas-s
dome sitting on top of a river.
It has an incredible waterfall falling gently on one end, and a
most incredible garden to its western end.
Angels seem to be floating all around it, real-looking beautiful
angels with golden halos that takes Effe’s breath away!
EFFE
(voice trembling, tears in her eyes)
What’s this place, Chris?
CHRIS
(tenderly, lovingly)
Our home, my Precious.
Welcome to Eden’s Garden.
Effe nods wordlessly.
EFFE
It is more than I ever imagined, my love!
The car moves throu-ghthe breath-taking landscape, and as
the road goes around an amazing railroad station and down a
most incredible playground that is as hu-ge as a town, looking
even more incredible than Disneyland, she shakes her head
numbly.
EFFE
(tremulously)
You have that playground all along and you told me you didn’t
nee-d children?
CHRIS
(laughing gently)
I never said I didn’t want kids, my love. I said if we couldn’t
have kids of our own, we’ll adopt. When I was growing up in
the orphanage, I told myself that one day my children will have
a real playground, and all the joys I never had as a child. I
created this just for fun, and now it seems I’ll have kids in it!
My own children, our children, from a woman I was born to
love!
And then, moments later, the scene opens up, and she sees it
….
Nestled in the gardens, with hu-ge golden gates and glas-s walls
that have beautiful paintings all around, is a hu-ge amazing
mansion that is absolutely stupendous!
The courtyard has a spectacular fountain in the middle of a
green turf. To its eastern end is a moat on which floats spectral
angelic creatures with glittering appendages that serve as
lights.
The moat ends in a can-alat the western end, like those
serenading can-als in Paris.
Effe can see a garden as splendid as it was majestic just after
the can-al.
The mansion itself is an edifice hewn into a magnificent hill,
and its northern wing is taken up with one of the most
spectacular waterfalls she has ever seen, and the endless
greenery spreads as far as the eye can see.
It is a thing of such beauty, the sight alone unimaginable, that
for a moment Effe can’t breathe.
EFFE
(in a strangled whisper)
You live here? In a place like this? And you rented a small
place and drove a taxi just to capture my heart?
CHRIS
Yes, my darling! The famous, qualified doctor who was ready
to love a poor semi-literate taxi driver. You’re amazing, a
woman in a million, and this is our home! But if you like, I can
give it up for you. I can live in a rented chamber and hall and
drive a taxi, if you want.
She looks at him, and tears trickle down her cheeks.
EFFE
(gently, lovingly, tenderly)
Do you think I’m mad?
He laughs then. A happy, exploding laughter that fills his very
soul.
The golden gates of the mansion are opening, and she sees her
parents, Eyram, Doctor Anaman and Albert Ntim, Rupert and
Gil, and Chris’ mother coming out to meet them.
Mr. Albert Ntim had brou-ght them earlier.
EFFE
You said we’re marrying next week? That’s too close.
CHRIS
Don’t worry, my Precious. Make it happen. I believe you can
make it happen!
EFFE
(almost breathless)
Of course, I can make it happen! But why next week, my
darling? Surely, there’s no rush?
CHRIS
(looking at her with loving eyes)
Next week is your birthday. On the day you are born, my heart
will be complete!
EFFE
(reaching for him)
Oh, Chris!
CHRIS
Effe! My heart, my breath, my all!
He takes her in his arms, and does not stop ki-ssing her even
when the people surround the car and Rupert and Gil start
hammering on the windows….
