In the village of hope there was a young man named Gideon, a tall fair skinned ,and a pointed nose man, he was very popular in their village not because his good looking, but because he's a great drinker, an addict ,a play boy, a hopeless and a no future man. Everybody in the village sees him like that ,no one tries to talk to him ,it seems that everybody is scared to him, instead receiving care and understanding Gideon earned judgments everyday but it's just nothing to him because he doesn't care about the people around him, for him he is just alone in his darkest, condemning the person above, that for him destroyed him as a being.
It's Monday morning, a new day for Gideon to start his daily routine, as usual after he eats his break fast, he will go to a bar and he will drink there, when he gets tired In the afternoon he will start to use drugs to feel relief, when evening comes he will quickly go to his house like a scared kid who is afraid in the dark, and he will lock himself in his room with no lights, sobbing like the sky that cries with thunder, screaming like it's gonna be the end his life .Every night Gideon always remember what happened 2 years ago.
Gideon is the only child of Mr .and Mrs Garcia they are an example of a very good family in the village. Gideon was raised as a good, generous, god fearing, intelligent and a family centered person he loves his parents so much. 2 years ago Gideon and his parents we're travelling for a vacation .That time they are so happy while on the road singing, eating, talking and laughing to one another. That trip is very memorable to Gideon but now it turned into his worse-st nightmare, that day he didn't expect that it would be his last moment together with his parents. It's already evening that time when they arrive in the mountainous part of a road, while they are so happy inside the car. Gideon's dad didn't noticed a fast approaching car in their back that looses it's brake that time and accidentally hit them ,the incident is so fast and it created a great impact to the car that Gideon and his family is driving, due to the great impact their car fell down in the river below the mountainous road. The three of them are unconscious that time after a few minutes Gideon wake up first and he saw his parents covered with blood, his mom has a big wound in her face while his dad's nose is broken with a big wound in his head, that time Gideon doesn't know what to do, he tried to wake his parents but no one responded and wake up, he notice that his dad already looses his pulse, Gideon starts to cry loudly that time and then he saw her mom and she was still breathing he hold the body of his parents and kissed their foreheads and cried so loud, he didn't expect it to happen since they are just happy in the whole trip. When Gideon noticed that the water begins to enter their car he became nervous and get panic, he became confused ,he tried to wake her unconscious mother and luckily it works, Gideon hugs his mom after and convince her to get out in their car immediately but she doesn't respond, Gideon just saw his moms eyes filled with tears and smiled to him .Gideon can't understand his mom so he cried again he knows his mom is saying goodbye that moment but he refuse to understand the happening because he can't accept it, before his mom looses her last breath she said "we love you Gideon, our son""save your self" after hearing those words Gideon's world, dreams, and promises to his parents was destroyed, he couldn't accept what happened, Gideon even point and condemned the person above as the responsible for the accident, that time he cursed himself to not look upon him like before anymore. Gideon's faithfulness and love to God including his happiness was change into doubts ,anger and negative ideas and perspectives .
Gideon gets out in the car when his eyes can't cry anymore even when he still wants to, Gideon just wanted to stay with his parents and joined them to death that time but he remembered what his mom said "saved your self" "we love you ""so he get out in the car ,rise in the water and seek some help ....
After his parents was buried, the joyful, funny, faithful, and positive minded Gideon disappears like a bubble ,the Gideon before is buried together with his parents .Gideon begins to drink alcohol, use drugs and even forget the people who still cared for him.
After remembering the accident his eyes will get tired and it will now close, this is the only time that he is in peace, sleeping like a cute little baby that naps peacefully.
(CCCCRRRIIINNNGGGG!! CCCRRIIINNNGG!!!! CCCCRIIINNNNG!! sound of Gideon's alarm clock)
It's Tuesday, that time, Gideon was already done eating, he's in the bar very drunk ,but still drinking badly, Jessie his classmate before saw him ,
"Hey Gideon what are you doing here it's too early to drink dude"Jessie said.
Gideon just ignore him like what he do to the other people in their place. After that he went to his secret place, he hide there and take his favorite noontime food "inhalants and cocaine"
"Now I know why I'm still alive, I'm destined to take all of this hahaha I'm flying in the wind right now, no problems, and free!!!!!!! "Gideon said while laughing like a demon.
Evening comes and as expected he will run towards his house again very scared and things happened again he cried and murmured like he's talking to someone. After that due to his very stress and hammered body he fell down to a sofa and fall asleep. He wake up in the next day,
"ohh it's Wednesday ,a new day to enjoy and to get drunk, drinks are already waiting for me! " Gideon said.
So he's at the bar again drinking so bad and Jessie saw him again
"I hate seeing him like that, he's not like that before, I think I should do something "Jessie said
Jessie message the person who really cared for Gideon ever since they were kids after sending it ,Jessie look for Gideon but he disappears, Gideon was in his secret place again taking his favorite drugs, at first he was happy and enjoying it but something comes out in his mind that change his mood, he realize that this things that he have done today is what he already did last day, last week and last month he realize that his everyday life is just a boring cycle he is already tired and right now he wants to rest forever. He questioned the heavens why it wouldn't take him.
"I'm already tired!! Tired of this nonsense stuffs!! When would you get me?? I'm begging you take me now!! "
Due to the effect of the drug to Gideon, he go to the high way, cross the road where fast vehicles run towards him to kill himself,but it was a miracle, he cross the road safe and sound ,that time he couldn't understand why he is still alive, so he ask the heavens again.
"You know your so unfair you get my parents when they still wanted to live but the person who don't want to live in this world, remains here ??are you joking??? Please get me now !! "
"Why would you forestall me from death?I think .it's a very good option than living in this world without knowing my purpose!!!
"If you will not get me, then I'll make a way!! I'll do it my own!! " Gideon said
Gideon is very serious to his words, so he run to the nearest bridge and tries to jump to end his life again.
" you see me right now?? I will going to jump and you cannot stop me anymore "
"It's all your fault, you made my life miserable!!! "Gideon shouted
When Gideon acts to jump, he heard a loud but a sweet voice coming from a beautiful young lady shouting his name.
"Gideon!! Gideon!!! Don't do it!!!"! The young lady shouted
Gideon just ignore her because his mind said that no one can stop him but the moment when he jump the young lady holds his hands and tried to pull him away from the bridge but Gideon is so strong and heavy so they fell down together ,it's a miracle when they are still alive that time, but the young lady doesn't know how to swim ,Gideon who let himself drown in the water heard the struggling voice of the lady
"Gideon help!! Help me!! " she shouted.
When hearing that voice Gideon remembered that lady as his best friend before his partner in crime and the girl he secretly love since before.
Gideon is awaken in the situation, the only thing in his mind is to save Leina that time, so he swim up and find her friend .
"Leina!!! Leina!! Where are you?? " Gideon shouted
But Leina doesn't respond, Gideon started to get nervous that time, Gideon saw a floating log and hold over it and allow the river bring him to somewhere. Hours passed Gideon was washed in an abandoned beach resort connected to the river, It's just a small island near in the sea But it's hard to be located. There he found Leina unconscious, she had drink much water.
"Leina!!! Leina wake up ,,wake up please lm sorry"Gideon said in a very nervous tone.
Gideon performed a CPR to Leina and she releases the water stuck in her lungs.
"Gideon your safe!! Thank God!! "Leina speak in a very weak voice
"Shhhh take a rest Leina, I'm so sorry!! "Gideon said
And both of them take a rest in the shore laying down in the white, finned, and crystal like sand that made them relax.
6:00 oclock in the evening when Leina woke up, she realized that they cannot get out in the island easily the only way for them to get out in there is to cross the water .
"How can we get out of here? " Leina ask herself
But Leina saw a fishing net beside a tree which gives her hope to get out in the abandoned island.
" The fishermen! They can help us get out of here but how can they find us?? We better wait for morning!!" Leina said to herself .
That time Gideon is still at sleep so Leina decided to find some food for them to eat ,luckily Leina saw a bunch of bananas in the banana tree, Leina as a trained scout in her childhood she decided to find some logs and woods to create a bonfire for them get warmed. While seeking Leina heard a loud scream .It's Gideon sobbing like a kid again, so Leina run towards him together with the things she find.
"No..... Noo..... Mom.. Dad.... Don't leave me please..." Gideon shouted while sobbing.
"Gideon...!!! Gideon!!.. Whats going on?? "Leina ask .
Gideon didn't hear Leina so he became more wild and angry, Leina doesn't know what to do that time so she just hug Gideon.
"Gideon whatever it is you can tell me.... Were friends right? "Leina said while hugging Gideon
Gideon sill sobs, but not that loud anymore, he is now in Leina’s comfort. That moment Leina felt Gideon's heart beat and it's beating faster, while Leina is comforting Gideon, Gideon speaks.
"He's so unfair ,I did all the things for him to be happy but why??? Why he destroyed me???? Gideon said while sobbing.
Leina get the opportunity to talk and change Gideon's mindset
"I know it's hard to forget Gideon but what you are doing in your life now is not good ,your parents would not be happy seeing you like this "Leina said
"No you don't understand me! " Gideon replied.
"And if your pointing God as the responsible for that accident,, yes you're right .,but don't get it mad Gideon ,you know he has plans and purposes to your life!"
"Where's the Gideon that I know before?? The Gideon who loves and believes God in all the time???Leina said.
"He's already dead!!" Gideon replied while sobbing
"Did you know why I follow you? "Leina ask
"Jessie told me, We hate seeing you like this Gideon!!Wake up I know you're still there !!,”
And if you're thinking that no one cares for you, you're wrong !!from the very beginning when you arrive in this world God already cared for you!!! ~Leina
"He Cares?? Really?? " Gideon
"Shhhh listen remwywhen you cross the highway lately?? Did you know that he's with you that time protecting you, and if you complain why he is not getting you?? Trust me Gideon God has purpose and plans for you!! "
"God loves you Gideon and I love you! "Leina said
That time all Gideon's questions was answered by Leina, he became quiet for awhile, he realize that all the things that he have done is not good, he couldn't imagine that those things are done by Gideon Garcia, he realize that god is just making him strong and testing his faith to him, he realize that the God that he condemned and point is the God who didn't do anything bad to him but to love him and didn't change from the begging even Gideon change.
Gideon ashamed that time, he cried again but not because of what happened before that he can't forget but because of regrets, he regretted being apart from our all mighty.....
That's why he ask forgiveness to the lord, and thank him for not leaving him in his darkest.
"Thank you Abba father, I'm sorry for choosing to be apart from you, I promise, as I leave this place, I will also leave all my doubts and the things that keep us apart, I'm so sorry father.
Leina was so happy to Gideon, after that happening they eat and then sleep because tomorrow they will be home and a new day for Gideon to change his daily routine.
"And thats the end of the story! Did you like it my kids?? " said the father to his kids
"Yeah dad it's awesome! ,God is so powerful "I love him " son replied
“What happened to Leina and Gideon dad? Did they live happily ever after??” Daughter said.
DING DONG!!! sound of the door bell
"Wait my darlings I'll check first who's out there and then I'll answer all of your questions".. Father said
(The father opened the door)
"Excuse me sir are you Mr . Gideon Garcia??" Said by the visitor
"Yes I am, what can I help you?? "
