CHAPTER 8
1009 Words
Andrew eyes got opened as he landed on a soft surface, He had expected death to be a tough one and not a soft one.
He met himself in a snowy area and looked around having no familiarity with the place.
It was totally another city full of huts and snow, and there is nobody at the street.
"this can't be the hospital area, is it" Andrew said and looked behind, he could not see the hospital anymore and that was shocking.
Andrew looked around with the belief that he is in heaven already, but he feel confused that he did not pass through death and wonder if he died unknowingly.
He was damn confused and moved heavily through the snowy mountain trying to reach for the huts and find out about the people around.
He moved and moved but was still on a spot, he remember about the washbasin incident and couldn't understand what the mysterious incident mean.
He stopped moving and stomped his feet angrily onto the snow.
He felt the ground moving and watched to see if its really moving or his imaginations. Andrew has never felt that way before, he felt really strange and wonder if he's having a nightmare about everything that has happened and the current situation.
He screamed as the ground shaked and there was a large hole that formed in front of him.
"Lord, I’m sorry for my sins. I did not kill Denise intentionally" Andrew said as his thoughts became tough.
He wonder if the hole is linked to hell, he was so scared.
There were breezes everywhere and the ground shook in a maximum way and stopped suddenly.
Andrew relaxed and sighed at same time.
A loud sound was heard as the ground crushed down, Andrew fell into the crushed ground and he screamed very loud.
He noticed his feet landing on something but the place he fell in was a totally dark place.
Andrew panicked and shiver, he did not understand anything and felt uneasy about staying in such thick darkness.
"let there be light, let there be light...." he repeated continuously and a light appeared in front of him.It blinks and was becoming dim.
"shine bright" Andrew shouted and the whole places was filled with light instantly.
It was surprising he was in a large room.
"wow, heaven is beautiful" he said and took a step to move but he was stucked on a spot.
"why, why, why?" he shouted and took a step forward and that was successful but he noticed he couldn't move to the other sides, just the front is where he can go.
"this is strange, is that the way to the lord?" he said and moved silently forward.
He admire the large looking building as he moved and watched how long the way still go.
He look around for shortcuts around and spot a door beside him.
"EXIT WAY" was what was written on the door.
Andrew wanted to move to it but remember he did not suppose to leave, he moved away and took a glance back as he was curious about where the exit way lead to.
He moved to the door and opened it, a bright light shine on him and he covered his eyes and moved slowly out through the door.He found a garden as the light shines away from him.
He thought of getting some fruits to eat from the trees in the garden and he moved forward.
He found an apple tree luckily and was about to pluck it when he heard some hisses, he flinched in fear as he saw a serpent moving around the tree.
Andrew moved two inches away from the tree as he remember the story he heard from his christian friends about how a serpent lure Eve into eating the f*******n fruit.
"what if he's about to do same mistake that would ruin him" he thought.
He moved quickly away from the tree and spot a glittering garden at the other side of him.
"wow" he screamed in surprise.
His thought drifted to when he was 10 years old, on his primary school graduation.
He remember getting a book from his mom where he saw beautiful creatures, and the view he saw is familiar to the garden he has saw in the book.
He couldn't wait to watch the glimmering garden, he moved toward it.
He heard whispers as he was about to get to the garden and voices were heard too.
Andrew fold his hands behind him and moved gently to see if there are humans or strange creatures there.
He saw a glimpse of someone and there was another in a distance.
He moved toward the human direction.
"Bless You" he heard someone's voice behind him and stopped walking.
He was reminded about the old woman word and turned wondering who had utter that.
"what?" his mouth were agape as he saw the old woman.
"you died too?" he asked.
"no, this is not heaven" the woman replied.
"pardon?" Andrew said looking around.
"and where is this place?" he asked.
"it's a place where you know where you belong" she replied.
"isn't that heaven, when someone die the soul will know where it belong whether its fit for paradise or hell, my christian friends told me that" Andrew said to the old woman.
With a short laugh, "my boy, you are thinking like a small being. Do not worry, this journey of yours will lead you to who you are" the old woman said and turned to leave.
"LISA DOVE" Andrew read the name scrapped on the woman skin and felt like he's familiar with the name.
He was about to ask questions when the woman turned to him with a smile.
"this is the third time we met son, I’m not sure we will see each other anymore" the old woman said and disappeared.
Andrew watched around for a minutes before he ran away, he stopped at a road having four angles and breathe heavily.
He wonder who the old woman he met earlier was and wonder how they have met three times when that is just the second time of meeting.
He also felt confused about the journey she mentioned about.
"if this is not heaven, so what is this place?" he questioned himself.
"A question with an awaiting answer..." a voice whispered around.
