Chapter 4: Circle of Life
When Zolita was eight months pregnant, tragedy struck. Ishka, despite being healthy, had a stroke and passed away. The whole family was devastated; Gustav was shattered. At the funeral, he spoke about the amazing woman he had loved since they were sixteen. The most wonderful part about it was that Gustav spoke of her as a human being, not some mystical woman. Ishka liked to count the freckles on Gustav’s cheeks. She had ingrown hairs on her legs. She forgot to cover her nose when she sneezed. She had to dye her hair every couple of weeks to maintain her signature pink locks. Her eye sight was not too good. Ishka slept on the left side of the bed with her right leg between Gustav’s – if she did not fall asleep in her studio, of course. She would yell at him when he tried to cook dessert because “brownies are not supposed to taste like barbeque, Gustav!” He would never forget the sound of her voice and made sure to tell all their grandchildren her magnificent story.

Ishka was right - it was a girl! Arabella Hilde: Daughter to Felix and Zolita, granddaughter of Gustav, Ishka, Phillip, and Dina. Her eyes were as blue as her mother’s, and her hair was just as dark. Her face, though, was remarkably like Ishka’s. Zolita would speak to her daughter in Spanish; Felix would speak to her in Swedish. Gustav would try to speak to her in German, but she looked like Ishka so he felt like he had to speak Swedish. They found raising their daughter an incredibly easy experience and decided they wanted more children. They got more than they bargained for with their twin girls: Petra and Lila. Life was certainly hectic with three baby girls under the age of two. Gustav fell in love with every single one of them. He made sure to become better at baking brownies so his grandchildren would not despise him. The cottage became too cramped for the family, especially with their grandfather being so hands-on. They moved the family in with Gustav back in Newcrest and helped him with the gallery. Didier and Constance moved into the cottage.

Didier became one of the youngest Assistant Commissioners in New Zealand. It was three years after Ishka passed away when he started his new job. It was tough and disturbing work. Luckily, he would still come home to his beautiful wife and she would always make sure she would make him laugh before he fell asleep. One day, he came home particularly stressed. He forgot all his problems once he laid eyes upon his wife – red lips, stockings, a garter belt, and nothing else. That night, baby Nikola was conceived. If the boy ever asked how he was made, Didier just wanted to say it was a stork. By the time little Beatrice came around, Didier had become Police Commissioner. He was a busy man but he made sure he had time to be the best father that he could be.

It took them a lot of hard work and sleepless nights, but both Laidley and Janja got lucrative jobs in Windenburg. They moved in to the cottage next to Didier and Constance – a perfect setup. Laidley was working in the hospitals as an on-call Trauma Surgeon; Janja was a Microbiologist at a prestigious research centre. They did not have time to raise a family for a long while. Beatrice had started preschool when the two agreed to try. Didier and Constance were next door if they needed any help, and Gustav would not think twice about the train ride it would take to get to the cottage. Seventeen months later, baby Radka was born. Viggo arrived not long after. Both Laidley and Janja got overwhelmed with their work schedule and responsibilities as parents. When Viggo was old enough to get all his inoculations, they decided to go on that honeymoon that Laidley promised. Scotland was amazing (mainly because the kids were well behaved)!
