Fallen

Chapter 15: "Fake ID"

It is been a while since I have fled back to Heaven and I am constantly worrying about the God-given. Beside my Father I watch humans on Earth, more specifically I watch Andrezeon. He is doing good as I can see. He has stopped abusing drugs I see, but he still hasn't stopped working for that evil man who is influencing him to do bad things.

"Hesediel, my daughter, I know it has been a very long time since you fled back here."

"I know, Father. And until now I am still regretting that I have attempted to escape from the Kingdom, from You."

"You are forgiven. But that is far beyond my concern now. Do you really want to go back down there?"

"Yes, Father." I looked up at Him but I only saw his foot because of His enormous throne.

"Do you still remember the rules I have set?" I kno he could not see me but I still nodded.

"Do not give back the love that the God-given is showing me."

"And...?"

"And focus on keeping him from harm and bad things." I stated correctly.

"Soon, my daughter, you will be with the God-given son, soon. Now go, be with your siblings, have a feast with them, enjoy yout time here for a year on Earth is just a day here in Heaven." I raised my face again only to look at His foot, again.

"How many days I have been here, Father?" I asked because only God sees the sunset, the night, and the sunrise here in Heaven, we angels and other creatures only see an endless shine of the sun as if it is always a midday.

"You mean how long have you been here?" I could not give any response and He started chuckling lightly. "You have only been here for half the day." My blue eyes widened and followed by a light chuckle.

"I did not expect that." I said. "I am going to go now, Father. I will just be roaming around the Kingdom." I said with a smile and then walked across the very big light that reveals every single event on Earth. I made my exit from Father's throne room through the gigantic door and swept through the long hallways with no particular destination at all. I wish I could just say that I am already feeling the same way about the God-given. I cannot believe I am actually lying to my Father, right here in Heaven where therr are no lies being told and no secrets are being kept. I am starting to feel afraid of what might happen. I just hope that everything goes back to the way everything was.

"Costa!"

"Mmh..."

"Costa!"

Nagising ako sa ingay ng paulit-ulit na pagsigaw ni Villafuerte sa apelyido ko kaya dumilat at bumangon ako kahit inaantok pa ako.

"Ano ba yon?"

"Costa, tingnan mo to!"

Hinarap niya sa akin yung cellphone niya at tumambad sa akin ang malabong picture ko na kuha sa CCTV at picture ng isang lalaking kamukha ko na kuha naman sa file ng PNP.

"Ano yan? Nahuli na ako?" Tanong ko.

"Basahin mo!"

Binasa ko yung nakasulat sa article na may title na "Wanted Sa Pagpatay Sa Isang Guwardiya At Isang Negosyante, Nahuling Natutulog Sa Isang Eskinita Sa Maynila".

Nitong Setyembre ay may isang binatang namataang nagpapabalik-balik sa isang tagong bodega sa Pasig...

Nilayo bigla ni Villafuerte yung screen. "Skip na natin... dito." Pinahawak niya sa akin yung cellphone at binasa ko yung pinakita niya.
