Chapter Ten
The Journal
The book is covered in binding leather with a solid and hard board. So nicely put together, you can say that the one who made it really wants to protect the book to make it lasting. It is a bit bigger compared to ordinary book. Not so thick and not heavy either. The books title is engraved on its cover and written in gold color using old English letters. Looks very old but if you will check the content, you will notice that it was recently updated. He was checking it when he noticed that the bus he is on is already in front of their house. He quickly asked the bus driver to stopped, he went down and run towards their house.
Sherwin: So the running away lover boy has arrived. (Smiling)
Sid: You will never believe the story that I will tell you but I found what I am looking for.
Sherwin: What happened to you? You have burns and cuts. Have you been in trouble?
Sid: Nope! But I have this book now. (Showing the book on hand)
Sherwin: Now you are stealing book? (Laughing)
Sid: No. The librarian let me take it home. It's a bit weird how the fire started but I managed to stop it and save more books in the process.
Sherwin: All those cuts and burns for that book only? Common cousin, you are losing it. (Laughing out loud)
Sid: Don't joke around cousin. Keep on believing and never lose your faith or the light bringer will take advantage of your soul.
Sherwin: You are really losing it now cousin. Trying to preach now? (Laughing)
Sid started to look serious. He looked Sherwin straight in his eyes.
Sid: I am not joking around cousin. I don't want Lucifer to gain control over you. I am serious. Let's go upstairs and I will tell you everything. I need to read this book now so that I can prepare myself. I need to find Enelra as soon as possible.
Sherwin: Are you serious? Do you need medical attention? (Now confuse)
Sid: I don't need medical nor psychological attention cousin. Trust me. Now let's go upstairs and read the book.
Still in doubt and confuse, Sherwin went upstairs with Sid. They sit down on the bed and opened the book.
"From the beginning of time, Lucifer the light bringer envies the God almighty. He wanted to bring him down and sit on his throne. He started accusing him of failures and weaknesses. He poisoned the heart and the mind of so many angels. During that time, Naszech and Enelra are angels that are so close to each other. They love serving God together. They are one of his trusted and faithful angels. God have seen their love for each other and he didn't forbid them nor stop them from loving each other that way. It is a divine love that they developed, a love that is pure, a love that asked nothing in return or exchange but pure care and understanding only. The other angel envies the two and Lucifer used it to let them renegade against God. Angels that fell in love with men are banished from heaven so Lucifer accused God of being unfair. Twisting the story, comparing divine love and Earthly lust and making it the same confused the other angels. When the battle started and all the angels on the second heaven falls down to Earth, Lucifer tried his everything to make sure that both Naszech and Enelra will be a part of all the fallen angels. Seeing the angels that are still pure and loyal to him trapped in the light bringer's dominion, God asked Rafael to finish Lucifer's reign on Earth but in that action he accused him once more of being unequal. Lucifer told God that the love between the two is nothing special or divine. Why banished the other angel and save Enelra and Naszech? God told Lucifer that I will give you time to reign over Earth and all my loyal angels that you trapped but when your time is up, I will trapped you in the pit of hell and will lock you there for the rest of eternity. When that time come, I will assure you that the angels you brought down with you will still be save by their divine love. God told Lucifer to do whatever he wants but no matter what you do; you can never break down the divine love that is the foundation of heaven and earth. Those are the last words from God and after that, the angels, like meteors entered the Earth and became men and women. Lastly, the light bringer followed. I will find all your angels and I will make them suffer. From their suffering they will hate you and they will curse you. I assure you that. After that total darkness followed, then the heavens door closed down and there is silence."
Sherwin: Hmmm! That sounds interesting. It's something new I never heard of.
Sid: Now you find it interesting ha? (Smiling)
Sherwin: But it still doesn't mean that you are an angel. (Laughing)
Sid: Sshhhhh! Let's continue reading now. I need to check the book if there are any details in the where about of angels.
Sherwin: You are really funny but go on, the book is very interesting. (Laughing)
Sid is checking the pages when he saw a note from Gabriel who made the journal.
"As the messenger of God trapped here on Earth, I dedicated myself in studies and research to gather up all the information to bring all the angels of God together and give them hope and salvation. Together with Enelra and Naszech, we entered the atmosphere almost on the same time. I opened my wings to stop from falling so I reached Earth the last. Enelra landed first then Naszech followed. I noticed that only few angels fell in that land mass surrounded by water and only the three of us fell in the center of that land mass. The others hit the huge land mass. Enelra landed south west from where Naszech landed. Time is very different on Earth. The split seconds that separated us are already months in human time. I have verified that half a second is a seven months difference. I found Naszech in the realms I made and he landed on the fourth of July. Enelra landed earlier and have given Naszech the details about it. Hope he can figure it out."
Sid: Now I remember! The realm he mentioned is the dream I had the other day. He mentioned the thirteenth day of the first month of the year.
Sherwin: What do you mean? Are you telling me that you truly believe that you are an angel?
Sid didn't answer his cousin but just continued on checking the book. There are so many stories and details written in it but none of it says where he can find Enelra or what he needs to do. He checked the last page of the journal and found the last message from Gabriel that was the latest entry and was just recently updated.
"To all the angels of God who are still faithful and still waiting, the time is near. Just live the life you are living right now, keep the faith and everything will be alright. Salvation is near and our hope will not break in two. Soon you will hear the trumpets from heaven and the heaven's door will open again to welcome us. God told me not to look anymore for destiny is already written and the foundation of heaven will not break in two. Time will carry you to the right place for you to fulfill your destiny."
Sherwin: I guess Gabriel quitted on you. (Laughing)
Sid: He did not but how about Enelra. She told me she's sick. The light bringer will try to break her down. (Worried)
Sherwin: It's very clear cousin, Gabriel said that God told him that the foundation of heaven will not break in two and you don't need to search far and wide, time will take you where you can fulfill your destiny.
Sid: But I must find Enelra.
Sherwin: You are really persistent cousin.
Sid clearly understands what Gabriel said in the journal but it seems that he is not satisfied until he finds Enelra. He stood up and walks away silently. Sherwin felt sad when he saw that his cousin is lonely and planned to tease and try to make him smile but was stunned when he saw his cousin's shadow. He closed his eyes and shook his head then looked again. There is no angel's wing now in the shadow but he is pretty sure he saw something earlier.
