The tree of Love
by Joanna Ambrona
After the world war 2, when the Japanese soldiers left the isolated island of Bataan and only ten families left behind. The island of Bataan become an island ghost. All infrastructures vanished. Only the church and school remained standing. The ten families decided to live inside the church until they finished building their houses.
Carlo the youngest child in the island felt something strange as he look around the place. Until he heard something, .someone's voice in the wind..
"Help us...pls" the strange voice said.
Carlo looked around and saw no one near him..he decide to go home then.
The next morning Carlo was playing in the church backyard. He saw a seed beside the statue of an angel. The boy decided to plant the seed near the seashore.
"Goodbye seed of love I'll come back tomorrow morning" Carlo said with a smile on his charming face.
He was about to walk and head in the church when he heard his mother calling him.
"Carlo , where are you? Dinner is ready!" his mother said.
"Okay Mother I'm on my way!" shouts Carlo.
That evening Carlo couldn't sleep. He don't know why and he also heard someone talking to him and said..
"Son, go out and come to me" said the ghostly voice.
Carlo decided to go out of the church and head near the seashore. While he was walking the ghostly voice keep on talking to him.
"Son, thank you, you had helped them"
" You just brought salvation to my people"
When Carlo reached the seashore. He was very surprised to see a huge tree standing on the soil where he planted the seed. And to his surprised the beautiful and sparkling light bestowed on the tree. And he saw an image of a man wearing long white tree. He couldn't see his face but inside his heart he saw him smiling at him. Afterwards, he heard many voices scattered everywhere. They are pleading for forgiveness and asking for their soul to reached it's final destination. Then the tree started to wave it's branches like there's a wind circling on it. then Carlo realized that it was him, the Savior Jesus Christ.
" God please help them. Please forgive their souls asking for your forgiveness. They want to be inside your kingdom forever" Carlo said.
" I will my child, I love them all. they are my people" God said.
" Go home child and spread my love".
Then Carlo heard his mother's voice.
" Carlo wake up. To whom are you talking to? You are dreaming"
" Mother I saw him in my heart" Carlo said with a smile.
"Who my son?" asked his Mother.
" Him, our savior" Carlo said.
" Okay go back to sleep now"
"Okay mother, I love you so much" said Carlo.
Then the next morning Carlo rushed himself near the seashore and saw the tree of love, standing mighty and proud.
Carlo realized he wasn't dreaming at all.
