FICTION: MY HEAVEN DAD AND MY EARTH DAD

I Zionel, resume my College years at Dark Night University, although my Heaven wanted me attend Morning Star University with an open admission but, Dark Night University picked me first with a scholarship I couldn’t refuse. Yet, my Heaven Dad advised me from his holy book. He had instructed me out of it that I must focus on Him to be very successful in my academics, also to tell others about Him. He promised that the more I tell people about Him, the more I will succeed.
My Earth Dad, I am sure manipulated my admission process into Dark Night University and gave me money, more than enough to live through my years on College, two cars and a very fat bank account. My Earth Dad registered me as a VIP student so that no student will treat me lower than his standard.
My Heaven Dad didn’t even give me money because I accepted the Dark Night University admission. I had to work in his Kingdom Company to earn wages for two years and the summary of it, a part of my savings amounted to my first year college school fees. Although My Earth wanted to pay when I told him to send it to my fat account, which he did but I didn’t use the money to pay my school fees. I used my hard earned wages to pay.
Here is the gist, my Heaven Dad and Earth Dad don’t always come to agreement over any matter. But I know you will be wondering why I have two Dads. I was told by my Earth Dad that he found me helpless at the gate of Heaven, left alone, rejected and abandoned. So he picked me up and adopted me, ever since then, I grew up to know him, even mutually. About three years ago, I met a man who later became my Heaven Dad and He told me about His gold plated beautiful mansions in His kingdom. Initially I didn’t agree until He showed me a glimpse. Wow! I was flabbergasted to see such beauty and splendor. I later agreed to follow him to His Kingdom Company He named Ezrael, and He employed me graciously. We have become very close and mutual.
That was when the battle started, the moment my Earth Dad knew I was going to work in a foreign Company. He chased me out of his house for about three weeks. He never wanted me back, later he heard I had been offered admission into Morning Star University, he suddenly began to plead to me to return back to him. Soon, I received a phone call from the Vice Chancellor of Dark Night University that I should come over to his office. From there, he made me register at the university admin and create a concrete profile of myself in the university, with a scholarship I couldn’t refuse. But that didn’t solve the friction between myself and my Heaven Dad.

Just then…

Stay tuned…
