Chapter 33: Special - My K-Pop Experience

Sir J: Do you remember this well Tania?

Kitania: How could I forget? I received a magistral punishment for my DIY garden transformation. It is also where I found a rose like the one you gave to other people. Was it from you?

Sir J: Possibly. What happened?

Kitania: Once upon a time…

With my seeds in one hand and a gardening kit in the other hand, I went into my garden ready to bring a transformation for all to admire. First step: I started digging.

Unknown to me, I had a few spectators:

(Satanic angel): What is she doing? Digging a swimming pool?

(Holy angel): Planting a seed. “Kitania be careful”.

(Satanic angel): I see...Soon to become the right fit for a grave...

(Holy angel): Indeed, your time is very near. “Kitania be careful!”

(Satanic angel): Ouch, ha-ha. Let’s be real here. Is it not tiring to constantly run after these human beings? Always worrying that they would trip at every single turn? Look at me. On vacation every day! All I have to do is sit down, open a pack of popcorn and count: 3,2,1...

(Holy angel): “TANIA STOP!!!” ...*sigh*

(Satanic angel): And she fell down, lol. Congrats to me! Anyways, vacation or not, I still have a few things to do. Just consider joining us, you -

(Holy angel): In the name of our Lord J-

(Satanic angel): Okay okay, I am leaving! Today’s not my time.

(Holy angel): *sigh* while walking towards the hole.

(Kitania): It wasn’t supposed to turn out like this.

(Satanic angel): Lol

(Holy angel): What are you still doing here?

(Satanic angel): I didn't want to miss the best part.

(Kitania): I wanted to plant a seed not dig a vertical grave...

(Satanic angel): What did I say? Is it not what I sai- ok ok I stop.

(Holy angel): Tania, be more positive. It shall be wel-.

(Kitania): I’m doomed. I can never get out.

(Satanic angel): Oh la la! What a sweet melody to my ears.

(Kitania): Why did I even trust God...

(Satanic angel): Hey!!! Where are my sunglasses, I’m getting a free tan today.

(Holy angel): Tania, look around you.

(Kitania): This was not enough. There’s this and there’s that and there’s also- OUCH! Even the stones hate me. I’m staying here and no one should disturb my eternal sleep. I hate you G-

(Satanic angel): Oh, my promotion is near.

(Holy angel): Kitania, let me help you.

(Satanic angel): Hey, that’s cheating!

(Holy angel): Shut thy mouth!

(Satanic angel): What?! Where’s that attitude coming from? Don’t you remember who used to lead-

(Master S): Shut thy mouth creature.

(Satanic angel): Master, you came? Yes, master *kneeling down*

(Master S): *Looking at the Holy angel* What about you? Who are you to order my subordinates? Don’t you not know on which grounds you are standing? Bow before me. NOW!

(Lord J.): Only One is to be worshipped and it is not you.

(Master S.): Well, well, well, Look who we have here. Fancy leading by example?

(Lord J.): Now using your gifts to steal, kill and destroy. You shall receive your reward in due time for the souls you have misled as well as for the war you’ve caused at Home.

(Master S): I’ve read the Bible, thank you...Is it the few holes in your hands and feet that are boosting your confidence? In what? Those dusty things like the one down there? Wasn’t she trying to play God but ended up in that hole? She made a wish so let me just grant it for h--

(Kitania): “Our Father in heaven,

hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come,

your will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven. [...]

(Satanic angel): ...Master?

(Kitania): Give us today our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts,

as we also have forgiven our debtors.

(Master S): *sigh*...

(Kitania): And lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from the evil one”.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.

(Lord J.): You share common traits with human beings.

(Master S): Do not insult me.

(Lord J.): You were both created with the freedom of choice. You deceived them into following your footsteps, Sa-

(Master S): I prefer my first name, thank you. Deceiving is a bit strong. I just helped them see what was on the other side. Many are grateful for that today.

(Lord J.): And many others are leaving you to go back to their First Love. To the One who shall embrace them and wipe away all tears and memories of you. To the One who will give them a robe that is not tainted by death, pain, or fear. So, those few holes in my hands and feet as you called them were indeed worth it. Now, depart to where thou cometh from.

(Master S): Creature?

(Satanic angel): Yes, master?

(Master S.): We’re leaving.

(Satanic angel): Yes, master.

(Lord J.): You can now go and help her.

(Holy angel): Yes, Lord. But...

(Lord J.): What is it?

(Holy angel): How should I proceed? Many times, her complaints act like a shield and turn whatever I wish to do to help as a weapon against her. Right now, she is-

(Kitania): Oh Lord, I keep praying and nothing happens. Why do I-

(Holy angel): How should I proceed?

(Lord J.): Use the shield against her.

(Holy angel): Pardon?

(Lord J.): Get to know her.

(Holy angel): I already know every-

(Lord J.): Brussels sprouts are wonderful vegetables. Minerals, vitamins, fibres, and proteins. All packed in one. A superfood that all should enjoy.

(Holy angel): ...Lord, I don’t understand.

(Lord J.): She dislikes Brussels sprouts. Yet, she ate them not long ago and was enjoying them. What happened?

(Holy angel): Well, based on the records, the Brussels sprouts she ate recently were stir-fried but the ones she ate in her childhood were boiled.

(Lord J.): With no salt. Poor thing.

(Holy angel): ...Lord, I still don’t unders-

(Lord J.): There are billions of people on this Earth. Each one having unique personalities, characters, and abilities. They can get offended by others and at themselves very easily. One thing said or done could bring a smile to one and offend the other. She tried to get out of that hole by her own means which worsened her existing physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wounds. Now, listen carefully to her complaints again.

(Kitana): Lord, it’s not fair. I just wanted to do something right. That you’ll be proud of me and say that I am a good servant. But only perfect people get their prayers answered. You’re not proud of me. I deserved it all.

(Holy angel): Oh!

(Lord J.): Healing must come first then she can come out.

(Holy angel): Yes, Lord. But how? She might get hurt again.

(Lord J.): Healing is sadly not always pain-free. What shall set one free?

(Holy angel): The truth...Oh!

(Lord J.): Good, give her this for me. I must now go and will be back.

(Holy angel): Yes, Lord. Thank you Lord *kneeling down*

(Kitania): I have a few tools and I don’t know if I’ll ever come out, so I could build an underground home.

(Holy angel): Oh, Tania...Let’s get you out of there. What about digging a bit more?

(Kitania): I have finished drawing the plans of the house. First, I’ll dig a bit more.

One minute later

(Kitania): (From SDA Hymn 251: He Lives): ♫I serve a risen saviour, He’s in the *BOOM*...todaaaay.♫

What did I hit? And why is it stuck? 3,2,1 *removed*

WATER!!!!! Hold on, is it poop water or...CLEAN WATER!!! I was thirsty, thank you Lord. What about an underground garden? I could be the first to do so. Or, what about an underground fishpond? That would be great.

Hold on...

Oh Lord, Lord, Lord! I can’t be the fish!

Okay, let’s calm down. Let’s be positive…

Satan is a liar, I won’t die.

...

But, I can’t swim!!! Oh Lord, Lord, Lord!

(Holy angel): Tania, look around you.

(Kitania): An underground-water-human-fish-tomb...Oh, what should I do?!? What should I- OUCH!

Why are those rocks so big on the wall...Oh! I could use them to go up. The exit!!! Thank you, Lord!!!

Sometime later...

(Kitania): I am tired. I am so tired. Maybe there’s another way. *Look at the water coming up* Nevermind, I get it.

Many time later...

(Kitania): Oh, that stone is so pretty. Maybe I could take it home with me. *Removes it and hears some hiss sound coming from the hole*

Let me just put it back where it belongs.

A lot longer later...

(Kitania): (From SDA Hymn 461): ♫Be still my soul, the Lord is on thy si-WORM!!!♫ shoo shoo.

A human definition of eternity later...

(Kitania): Finally, out!!!!!

(Holy Angel): Well done Tania!

(Kitania): My seeds and my gardening kit stayed inside...I’ve wasted so many resources for nothing but a broken garden.

(Holy angel): That hole could become something else.

(Kitania): *sigh* Maybe it’s not that bad. If I go to the garden and get thirsty, I wouldn’t have to go all the way back to the kitchen. It could become a DIY fountain or maybe a well...A well...

(Holy angel): *smiles* Does it sounds familiar?

(Kitania): A well...Hold on. Is my phone working now? Okay, great! Let me check the bible verses about water...

(Google): “But whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. John 4:14”

(Kitania): But I still need to eat...

(Google): “I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.

John 6:51”

(Kitania): Um...Could you be a bit more cooperative Google? I’ll fast then.

(Google): “Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into your house; when you see the naked, to cover him, and not to hide yourself from your own flesh? Isaiah 58:6,7”

(Kitania): That's so...Oh, what is it? A sparkling rose in the garden?! What on earth is-?

(Ms Reality): Miss Kitania!?! What happened to the garden!?! And what-

(Kitania): Oh no...

(Holy angel): Sorry Tania...One day at a time.
