PART I. A GUARDIAN

1.10. A POPPY DRESS

June 1, Saturday morning,
Moscow, Alice’s room


Alice sorted out her clothes on the arm-chair. Her guardian whispered, following her, «A dress in poppies is what you are missing right now. And, mind you, everyone told you in your earthly language, „buy that dress!“ And you just don’t want to pick it up, because from time to time you stop believing in miracles. I’m already tired of pulling away those who want to buy it for themselves!»

Alice stopped at the wardrobe looking at numerous outfits, and decided to visit a huge store, which looked more like a whole city, where she had once met with a white dress in poppies, although the chances that it was still on a hanger, and not walking on someone’s body, were practically equal to zero, it had cost a penny, it had been in a single copy, and, given the number of customers…

a huge shopping center near the Moscow Ring Road


Alice arrived at the store-city, wandered through the wide corridors of the labyrinth and finally found the place where she had seen the poppy dress. With a trembling soul, she stepped inside and headed for the hangers on the left side. But there were trousers hanging there, which Alice was not at all interested in at the moment. She was about to leave the store when White exclaimed, «Learn to look to the right!»

Alice obediently turned to the right and walked to the farthest corner. There was a lot of dresses there. She saw at a barely visible white piece, crushed in the depths by other bright fabrics. Alice took it out. It was the very same dress, in a single copy, with the same price tag, and she didn’t believe her eyes. She headed to the dressing room. The guardian chuckled, «What a sheep! It’s your size, yours!»

The dress fit perfectly. Alice came to the cashier and handed out those same pennies. The cashier scanned the barcode, packed the poppies and gave Alice a package along with the receipt and the change. Alice looked at the cashier in surprise, and she answered with a smile, «Today we have a 50% discount on this dress. Enjoy!»

a house on Polyanka, evening


Alice came to the Teacher. He joyfully greeted her. They hadn’t seen each other for about two years. Alice entered the room, and the Teacher winked cheerfully at White and said to Alice, «Your dress is amazing. Where did you get it?»

«Out of meditation!»

While Alice was sharing her earthly news with the Teacher as she saw them, her guardian told the Teacher the same news, but from a different point of view. The Teacher talked with White mentally, and out loud — with Alice.

«Everyone around has cancer,» she said thoughtfully. «And my mother had an evil Pluto in 6 in opposition to the Sun in 12. She was sent for a surgery, but it was too late, and they sewed her back up and let her die.»

«Convince her to do as the doctor says,» White asked the Teacher. «She likes to turn on her Aries stubborn horns!»

«You have your own way,» said the Teacher. «You’ll live. Say now, „Don’t wait for me dead!“»

«Don’t wait,» Alice repeated.

«No, that won’t work! Get angry and say it with as much energy as possible!»

«DON’T WAIT FOR ME DEAD!» Alice shouted into space and showed her tongue, looking straight at her guardian.

«Well done!» the Teacher praised Alice, at the same time removing the accumulated negative energy from her. «Go to the doctor and do what she says. You have a very good doctor. You need to obey her, and then, when you go through another black tunnel…»

«I’ll go to the sea,» Alice smiled.

«Which one?» the Teacher asked.

«To the Black one!» the guardian of the Woman exclaimed appearing in the room.

Alice suddenly caught a strange answer in her mind, «To the Black Sea», thus, she answered in bewilderment, «Well, I want to go to Sardinia…»

The Teacher greeted the guardian of the Woman with a nod. White was dumbfounded, «Bro, are you crazy? The Black Sea?!»

«I’ve stated a fact from the Space of Options. It became evident only today, so I hasten to report it to you. And you, Teacher, be sure to set up Alice for a trip to the sea!»

The Teacher nodded and said to Alice, «You’ll definitely go to the sea, but perhaps, not to Sardinia at first…»

White stood with his hands on his waste waiting for an explanation from the Woman’s guardian.

«White, you still haven’t organized Alice’s transfer to the House of Serving to Creativity. And there are only 2 weeks left until the Saturn period. Therefore, on Monday, June 3, a Black CEO, an adherent of a large sect, will appear in their office. And on June 7, Alice will be forced to quit.»

The Teacher could hardly stand it and said aloud, «Wow!»

«Have you seen something right now?» Alice was surprised.

«I’ve heard… But all the changes are for the better! By the way, what’s about your job?»

While Alice was cheerfully sharing with the Teacher the amount of work done to create a new tour program, which, in fact, was ready to be launched on Monday, the guardian of the Woman continued to talk with White, «As for the Black Sea, today my ward will announce to Alice the idea to hold a grandiose literary festival «Russia-Bulgaria’. Alice will write a draft of the festival and come up with a great name for it, «I love this world’. The Bulgarian side will approve the project, and Alice will go with the head of the House of Serving to Creativity for the whole August to the sanatorium health resort «Kamchia’, which is located right on the Black Sea. It’s a great place, White!»

«Bro, do you realize what you are saying? How will she go?» White exclaimed.

«Well, sorry! She won’t go, she’ll fly. By plane!»

«After her surgery? To the sea? For a festival?!»

«I’ve just arranged a free ticket to the resort for Alice, why swear at me?» the guardian of the Woman exclaimed offended. «This trip, even if only scheduled and hanging in the air, will help Alice recover faster! Moreover, she has just dreamed of the sea.»

«No doubts, of the sea!» White was indignant. «She dreams of the Man in White, and not about the sea! It doesn’t matter for her where she meets him, on the sea or in a swamp. Damn him, God forgive me!»

The Teacher, witnessing the funny dialogue of the guardians, shook his head with a smile and asked Alice, «You saw a Man in White during your meditation. Who is he?»

Alice silently rummaged in her purse, took out a photo of the Man in White printed on an ordinary black-and-white printer, gave it to the Teacher, adding, «But I might have been shown someone who is energetically similar to him. That’s why…»

The Teacher looked at the photo carefully, «Is he a character from your novel about Another Reality? Did you call him Woland?*»

White covered his ears with his wings. Alice nodded. The guardian of the Woman, disappearing from the room, filled the space with good-natured laughter, «Blimey!!! The Man in White turns out to be the head of the Dark Forces! Go to the Black Sea, Alice, to the Black! Definitely!»
