The soul is immortal- well then, if I shall always live, I must have lived before, lived for a whole eternity.
– Leo Tolstoy
Chapter 6
Sitting on the roof, Bette finds her solitude in the stars. With the noise and rebel rousing all down stairs, the roof is her quiet sanctuary from outside influences. Here all she has to do is look up to the familiar and feel at home.
For that is what Bette feels each and every time she looks up at the stars… Home. Since her life is spent on the road she doesn’t really have a physical home just the one she finds by looking up at the stars. Her vagabond life style works for her. Having been raised by her father since her mother ran off with an artist, Bette knows the hard way that nothing is permanent.
Bette’s mother had always professed to loving her unconditionally but when push came to shove that love got pushed aside for a greater love. Bette remembers the heaviness of that crushing blow. Bette was very young when her mother’s abandonment came and it marked her. Not understanding the true nature of her mother’s abandoning her, she had pleaded with her father to go out and find her, bring her mother back home. The begging went on imploring Melvin to buy her mother pretty things that would bring her back to them.
But Melvin had refused. “I’m not going to spend another red cent on her. She’s not worth it.”
Bette had tried to protest “But Daddy that’s how you always make up. If you don’t go after her and make up like you always do she won’t love me anymore.” Bette had cried to Melvin.
Melvin’s angry response, “If she’s stupid enough to leave the good thing she had here for a starving artist then she’s not worth our love.”
With that Melvin had whisked Bette away to Disney World to ease her pain at the loss of her mother’s love. It was there at Disney surrounded by Mickey and Minnie that Bette began watching the stars. At first she was sitting out on the balcony of the Contemporary Suite waiting for the different firework displays to begin. These displays went off each night at the different kingdoms at a different time. From this vantage point high up in the penthouse, Bette could actually see all of them go off with get clarity.

Whew! I don’t envy your travel schedule. Because of my job I had to travel via air often. I am so old that I remember when food was served on trays with linen tray cloths and real silverware. I flew on into the time of tightened security and inconvenient seats with only peanuts as a food. I was so pleased when I no longer had to fly regularly in my life.Well enough about me. I will miss the post next Friday but surely do understand why. Besides what you wrote in this chapter is so powerful and thought provoking it earns several reads over the next two weeks. You are quite good at crafting the words that create the images and thoughts to make a story captivating. I look forward to your post in two weeks or sooner if possible.
Aw, man. :( Modern Bette’s new direction is completely overshadowed by the turn of events for the nomadic couple. I’ll have to wait and see how things work out, but… :( Thanks for the post. It’s gonna be a long two weeks! Have a good trip. :)
Thanks so much for the update. Both of your story lines are so well written. I’m anxious to see what happens next in both of them. I’ll be looking forward to your next post.
Really enjoying this story.
wow, the things are just getting out of control in nomadic life, i hope for the happy ending as well…can’t wait to see how modern time tina and bette will meet..i’m doing well, thank you
Happy Friday! An intriguing update, I hope Tina gets to kick some A–! Have a great weekend.
Oh dear! This is not good for tina right! How wonderful is this story and the way you write just bringing it all together. Wonderful and just love how you write. Thank you.
yes, bette is too right, it is time to have somewhere she could get her mails. But is sending Alice is the best idea? This woman is crazy lol. But hey cannot wait to see what happens.In contrary, nomanic life is scary please keep Tina safe please she is pregnant and really don’t want her to lose it. Now who are they? what did they want? Bette should feel that something is going on. Well i hope she/he does.
Oh Jwet! … Thanks for posting the update… :-) But… How could you left us for that long when Tina in the nomadic life is having such a HUGE trouble?! .. :-( I hope nothing bad happened to her and the baby.. Will Bette able to save her?! I hope the weather allowed him to rescue her as I imagine that Bette might know about the missing Tina only when he’s back from his trip.. Argh!… So tense!! .. >_< ... present Bette is so lost, having a home would be a good starting point to let her build something she love for herself and I am so curious how will she meet Tina! :-) Your story is so captivating! I hope I'll survive the long waiting ;-) ha3.... Enjoy your trip and stay safe Jwet! :-)
Hello my friend, Apologies as I haven’t been posting for a while. As you know life just gets in the way sometimes. However I am back and able to add my 2 cents worth right now. This story is wonderful and brilliantly written, as always. Teh care and attention to each detail is evident for all to read. The present is interesting as Bette and Tina have no knowledge of each other and yet both share the sense of longing and incompletness. Nothing ing their lives fulfils this need. Things are progressing slowly as I feel that they will meet soon and be on opposing sides. Then the fun really will begin. As for “Nomadic Life” the connection between these souls is obvious. Bette’s reluctance to leave was only equalled by Tina’s foreboading. Her kidnapping was shocking and very unsettling as it was common place at this time. Tina’s survival and maternal instincts have kicked in and I can only hope for a happy resolution to this tale. Whatever happens I will be waiting for then reading and enjoying ever word. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan and Friend.
Oh no, Tina’s kidnapped, poor Tina and poor Bette, what will happen? who r those people? r they taken her slave? will she be saved by Bette? Oh God, this is interesting :)For present Bette, I’m happy that she thought about making LA her home, it is a step forward ;D
Another great chapter.I hope Bette is on the way to rescue Tina.PPS
Oh Jwet, Jwet…just when I’m all loved up with your Nomadic couple, you slam me to the edge of my seat. As much as I don’t want to read the next chapter, I can’t wait for Friday. As for the modern-day pairing, I look forward to seeing if all their past experiences lead to a happy ever after. Thanks for taking the time out of your busy schedule.
