"When Eve is tempted by the serpent and eats the forbidden fruit, Father makes Adam choose between Him and Eden, or Eve. Adam chooses Eve and eats the fruit, causing Father to banish them into the wilderness and destroying the Tree of Knowledge"
These were the last lines of the chapter that described their fall. Eun Hye had just finished reading it when the father came back,
"Are you done reading child? And where's your friend?"
"Yes father, I completed the chapter on their fall. And Ae Ra.. she was a bit angry with me so she went outside. But father, I could recall everything written here as I saw it in my dreams just that this last part... That serpent.. I don't know any of it.. who was this serpent and why did he tempt Eve to eat the forbidden fruit? Was there any sort of enmity between them?"
"Well, I'll answer all of your questions for sure but did you notice some part missing in the whole story or was it exactly what you dreamt?"
"Actually.. I have been having these dreams since I was 18, I don't remember much of it.. "
"Would you be able to recall if I show you a painting?"
"I guess so." She replied and he went to bring back a painting..
The painting depicted a scene when Adam and Eve are standing on a cliff, facing the sunset and Adam adores his wife with a hand-made necklace. He is standing beside her and Eve is very very surprised with what Adam had done. She is giving the pendant a deep gaze and her eyes were shining with happiness.
"What do you think?" The bishop asked.
"No, I can't recall it."
"You really don't?" He was a bit shocked..."Oh dear child.. it's really a pity.. well, let's do this.. if by any chance you recall this scene anytime in future do call me on this number." He said after thinking a little and gave her his card which noted his contact details.
"Okay. And about that serpent?"
"Yes.. he was Satan.. he was also an angel in God's heaven, just like you two. But when God sent you both on earth, he also disguisedly entered the Garden of Eden."
"Oh!" Just then Ae Ra called Eun Hye,
"Are you done Eun Hye?" She was still furious.
"Go on Eun Hye. You should comfort your friend now.. she seemed really worried for you. You are fortunate, indeed." The bishop said and asked her to leave.
"Then, goodbye father. Thank you for your time." She also bid goodbye.
"Do inform me once you recall anything." He said again.
"Sure." She said and left.
But why was that scene so important to the bishop? And why did the serpent act like that.. Eun Hye still didn't understand.
When she came out she found Ae Ra waiting, "Eun Hye, I have booked a flight ticket to Seoul for tonight... Let's straightaway go to Jeju Airport." She declared.
She was really scary.. "Hey Ae Ra, I have to return this car to my friend and-" before she could complete her sentence,
"My colleague will take care of it, he is already here, he will first drop us at the airport and then return this car and bring back your luggage. I won't listen to another word, just get inside the car or we'll miss the flight." She announced her decision.
Poor Eun Hye , what else could she do.. she followed Ae Ra's orders. She sat in the car, texted Hyun ki about everything, shared the details of the person who was to bring his car back and took a nap till they would reach the airport.
