In the Paradise of Heaven

I saw my body lying on the white sheets. I saw the doctors giving CPR on me. I saw my love ones crying for me. If only I can tell them I am here, standing by their side watching my body struggle to survive. **"Please fight Aethan. Please fight for us."** Those are the words I can hear as I battle for my own life. I want to reach my body. I want to enter but I cannot. I don't know what should I do just to return inside. I am in a great misery as I watch myself lying lifelessly. **"Time of dead 8:45 am."** I shout. **"No!!! No!! I'm not dead yet! Please do something! Please! No..it can't be."** A lot of weep filled the room. I cannot accept this. I cannot accept the fate yet. I am not ready. I uttered a prayers. I still want to live. **"Your time has come."** I hear a deep voice behind me. I saw a man wearing a white robe, his face is covered by it. I feel scared. It is my first time to see someone like this. **"Who are you?"** **"I am here to pick you up."** I feel scared. I don't know what to say. **"No, I still want to live. My family are waiting for me."** **"Sorry but it is written here on the record, your date of birth at the same time your death."** I weep. This is the most painful truth I ever face in my whole life. **"I have no choice but to accept that my time has finally come."** The man held out his hands. I didn't think twice, I accepted it and my entire vision was filled with lustrousness**.** When I opened my eyes, I saw an extensive golden gate with calligraphies I can't understand. I look at the man wearing a white robe. I still can't see his face. **"Where am I?"** I utter. **"Just follow me."** He said as he walk into the splendor gate. In my whole life, I have never seen something as beautiful as this. The gate suddenly opened and there I saw a fountain. A marble corridor and a gigantic throne that is hard to reach. **"What place is this?"** I ask and I am really scared. The man did not answer. I saw a winged man with shiny white robes and golden hair opening a manuscript as he bow down in front of the gigantic throne. I panic because this is how an angel look like. I never know they are dazzling. I can't even stare at them for so long because they are too bright. **"You will be judged based on your deeds on the Earth and the intensity of your faith. Whether you have lived one or not."** The man said beside me. I am really scared. Though I know I have been faithful my whole life, I have accepted Jesus as my saviour and I acknowledge him. I tried to live a virtuous life even it means sacrificing my happiness in the world. **"Then so be it. I will accept whatever judgment God would give me."** I replied. This is the end. If I would be thrown in hell, I have to embrace it but I still believe that my faith for Jesus will saved me just as he promised. The angel started to speak. ***"Aethan. Your worldly name. Based on your timeline, you have helped a lot of people and you have even saved a life. What makes your record virtuous here is how you converted the non-believers to become a believer. You have earned a credit from the highest. You have also acknowledge Jesus. Behold, your name is written on the book of life. Take this key as you open the gate I am pointing."*** I cannot believe. I am stuttered by what I heard. I am frozen. I am not thrown in the lake of hell. This is the happiest thing that ever happen in my whole life. I get the key and I open the gate that the man pointed to me. As I open the gate, I hear a loud of sound of harps. What I have seen is beyond I can imagine. It is beyond what we can see on Earth. There is a wide and abundant waters flowing from the rocks. There are a lot of beautiful flowers surrounding by. There are trees filled with endless fruits. All the kinds of animals are there and they doesn't hurt each other. Most of all, I saw a lot of people wearing a white robes. A woman walk near to me and smile, **"I am very happy to see you here. Everytime I see a new member, I smile. Because another soul was saved from eternal damnation and I promised to you that here on heaven, there is no misery or pain. This is the promised Land and eternal life God promised to us."** Disclaimer: This is purely fictional story and it does not come from my experiences.
