2 Chapter 2: The God

Helios and Leo woke up at the same time. They felt like waking up, but they both know that they were dead. They stare at each other, but what they see is only silhouette of each other. They do not have flesh and blood body. They look like hologram that was almost flickering out. Only their twin connection makes them realise that they are together instead of looking at a mirror reflection.

They could not speak either. Or else they might have shouted because of excitement, or maybe of despair, that there are life after death. The silence last for a long time. While not being able to speak, they are able to observe. They are in a white room. Not too big, not too small. Enough for each of them to run 100 metres in each direction. They could not move either to test whether the distance is correct.

"How are the both of you feeling?" a sudden voice broke the silence.

The two suddenly find that they can talk. Helios that recovered earlier than Leo answered, " Where are we and who are you?"

"You are in my space and I am what you call God" answered the voice.

"where are you and can I see you?" ask Leo in an excited voice. "His childishness never fade till he died". Thought Helios.

"I am in your heart, and if you can see me you are a God too, same as I am" chuckled the voice.

"Aww mann... I was really hoping to see what a God look like. It has been one of my bucket list" said Leo clearly disheartened. "Why am I here? or why are me and Helios here?". Leo ask again. He definitely love his twin brother, but at the same time he knows that both of them could be no more than a same face, they have too much difference that being together in the same room seems like painting him the same colour as Helios, the hardcore sinner in his eyes.

"I wanted to meet the two of you together. The same birth time, the same death time and the same merit count. Definitely a marvel in my creation." said God.

"How come we have the same merit?!" Helios and Leo exclaimed in shock. Helios is not a good person. He kill when he needs to kill, and compromise when he don't. He is the very definition of the end justify the means. A smiling devil.

"What or how much do you think you are worth in My eyes?" asked God.

" I have spent billions of dollars to help the poor and unfortunate" replied Leo. Helios just keep to himself, not uttering a word.

"Your value in My eyes is just how much you eat in your lifetime. Your value is no different than few plots of paddy field or few hundred rabbits. If I add one more rabbit then you are less significant than a rabbit" chuckled God again.

"That was one hell of a Godly humour" replied Leo. He wish he could flip table or type a sweating emoticons. but alas, he don't have a hand or feet, being only a shadow with a blurry face after all.

"So you have met us, what now?" ask Helios. He feels like he was being toyed with. It was not a pleasant feeling for someone that has been above everyone for a lifetime. He is not a pious believer, he don't care about God either. He just want to either being sent to "Hell" or whatever ending he was destined to and be done with it.

"Ohoh, someone was being grumpy for just being talked to. Or you was afraid that I will share your secret to your angelic brother here?" the God sounds amused.

"What secret?" asked Leo in a very excited tone. He was not aware of everything Helios did. He was only together with Helios during childhood. Their teenage years was spend in boarding schools or university. They hardly talk in telephone after their father's death either. Not to mention that they only meet up when it's their time to die. What he know about Helios mostly rumours or secret intelligence from hired hands.

"Don't say anything." said Helios in an exasperated tone to God.

"Hohoho, I am not God if I follow orders from mortal"replied God lightheartedly. "Hmmm do you remember when you wet your bed at 10 years old?" asked God to Leo.

"Yeaaah, what about it?" replied Leo in a gloomy voice. "How come it's about my secret now" thought Leo exasperated.

"Actually the one that wet the bed is Helios. He woke up, swap your clean pyjamas trousers with his and sleep again while wishing you would not find out, and luckily you don't, up until now" the God chuckled again.

"WHATT!!!" shout Leo. "The dark spot that I was shouldering my entire lifetime was a lie?!" he continued. Helios was sweating imaginary bullets and feels like sitting on a barbed wire. He really hate this God. Where is the promised serious and strict no nonsense God as per the religious books that he read.
