In the heaven.
The creator and his son sat on the throne but their eyes gazing keenly to whatever was happening on earth. Though Jesus was crucified on the cross in the name of saving people, but they didn't stop sinning like never before and all the signs talked about in the revelation most of them had already happened. People causing endless wars, chronical diseases without cure,men becoming unfaithful and women like wise, people moving almost naked without shame, children disobeying their parents, merciless against their neighbors, unkind, unloving towards one another. This all prompting to the end of the world and fulfilling what was written in the holy scriptures.
Do you all remember the story of two denarii. Jesus narrated a parable to his followers saying, " A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead.
" Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he was him he passed by on the other side.
" So like wise a levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.
"But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him,he had compassion.
"He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him.
" And the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, "I will repay you when I come back."
In brief, this story is about a good Samaritan but there's a reason behind the two denarii. The bible philosophers always interpret it as two thousand years and some extra years for the Jesus to come back.
Angel Gabriel and Michael bowed at the creator and the son because he loved his people to the extent that he gave them extra time on the earth to prepare and be ready for him. But the question is anyone ready ?
He says" Behold, iam coming like a thief!
Blessed is the one who stays a wake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and exposed!".
But the people kept disappointing him and thus needed someone to help with his mission.
Back at Mr Kevin's company, the secretary received a call from Dave a friend to their CEO saying , " hello! , is Mr Kevin around in the company." Dave said ruffling his colored hair. " No sir he has gone out for an emergency." The secretary replied putting the phone down. Sighing he continued sorting out the morrow's documents before calling it a day.
Kevin who had just taken a cold shower was wearing his black robe when his phone rang making him to rub his temples when he saw the number on his screen. He wanted to decline the call but he decided it against his better judgement. His buddy was like women who gossiped on whatever thing whether useful or not. Picking up the call ,Dave from the other side of the line smirked for annoying him saying, " it took you forever to pickup my call hmmm but on serious business I heard that RK enterprises messed with you, to your way of doing things,I think you've probably dealt with them." Dave confirmed his suspicion when Kevin didn't reply.
Walking towards the balcony,he gazed at the moon which was shining brightly above the sky his emerald green eyes reflecting coldness with no warmth in them like a serpent. He suddenly says with a chilly voice, " it's good you know my ways but they won't laugh for long since tomorrow they will be declaring bankruptcy with no other option." Dave shivered from his friend's voice. Rubbing his arms he decided to hang up the call not to annoy Kevin with his constant questions that may not even have answers.
Lighting his cigarette, he started smoking as smoke formed a ring in the air. The entire bedroom was shredded in darkness because he rarely switched on the lights but only used a lighter. He hated the light but enjoyed darkness the most. Thinking of the days when he hustled his butts off to build legacy holdings from scratch as everyone mocked him for thinking that he would survive in the cruel business world. He was amazed at the bitter irony of it when those who mocked him wanted to build connections. Ever since he made it as the leading billionaire in the freedom city, everyone respected him more and his ruthlessness knew no bound . Extinguishing the cigarette in the ashtray,he strode towards his bedroom and got under the covers.
Having been showed the room were to lodge, I thanked Ritah from the bottom of my heart because nowadays it's hard to get a true friend who genuinely cares about you without asking anything in return is very rare. Am truly blessed to have such a friend. The room looked cozy at the first glimpse,the soft carpet on the floor felt ticklish beneath my bare feet. Feeling the woolen duvet, it was so wow that I felt my eyelids twitch inviting me to have a sleep. This is the first time in decades that I will sleep soundly without the need to worry about leaking roofs and the dirty mattress.
That's why my once sad face is beaming with only smiles that have never left my face ever since arriving in this city though I don't know what fate has for me in the future. Laying on the double bed, I close my eyes yawning with tiredness succumbing to dreamland.
" Who's the busy buddy calling at this hour of the night?" Dave who had just gone to bed complained to no one in particular but himself. Sliding the answer button he was surprised to see Max's number and immediately picked up saying , " Maxi ! , is that you man, and when are you coming back dude. It has been two years ever since you went to France to work on that project but let me tell you, you're probably missing the beauties because that country is probably boring.". Dave bombed Max with so many questions that he felt frustrated, that's why he should be considered the upcoming champion of gossip.
" Keep it down dude! , you are bursting my ears with your loud voice. It's good you don't have neighbors or else they would have thought you're an hawker in the open market." Max said teasing Dave who almost smashed his phone for being called a hawker.
" Haa man I just got a little bit excited but it wasn't good to call me a hawker you know." Dave said while taking a glass of cold water since he might become crazy.
" Oh I had forgot to tell you,my flight is tomorrow in the evening and don't forget to pick me up from the airport. I hope you keep it a secret from Kevin because it won't be a surprise anymore if he gets to know." Max said reminding Dave who's mind was plotting to look for a best club to throw the welcome party.
Hanging up, after receiving instructions, he started using his connections to book the most expensive and luxurious club in the city where they could go high. He orchestrated everything carefully without an iota that would be messed up. He completed everything as it was approaching the second cock and tirelessly lay on his bed like a little baby.
Before dawn, Kevin opened his emerald green eyes and sat on the huge bed. The sheets drifted around his waist as, glancing on the bedside table,he picked up his phone and sent a massage to his body guards. Taking a shower, he changed into a black suit with diamond cufflinks. Putting on his windbreaker, he slipped into his black shiny shoes.
With one last glance in the mirror,he grabbed his car keys and jogged down the golden spiral staircase with urgency. Maneuvering the Ferrari from the underground garage,it coughed to life as he passed the sliding gates.
I was still enjoying my sleep when I heard a knock on the door. Opening it, I saw Ritah with her ever smiling face. " Good morning,how was your night scarlet,I hope you slept comfortably." Ritah asked me like someone who cares.
" It was better than I imagined, you're already dressed it means duty calls." I replied with a smile of my own.
Replying,she hugged me and wished me a blessed day. Turning around she went to the car that was waiting for her . I closed the curtains of the window until the car vanished from my sight. Today might be my last day to have a nice sleep since the next day I will be going for job hunting. It's frustrating when you don't have the qualifications but I will do anything as long as I can earn money but not being a prostitute.
