It's all white in the surroundings. A place so beautiful and more beautiful, it's inhabitants. Heaven, as it is called, is a place so beautiful and so are the souls who reside her or come her after completing a life, to pass on to the next.
Some souls reincarnate alone while some do so in groups.
Some are called the companion souls. These are those souls who are bound in eternal love to each other, so much so that wherever they go, they are together.

Sitting in the heaven, Naina and Sameer looked at their daughter Suman and her small family. Samaina had reached the heavenly abode quite early but still, they were happy they were together.

N: Sameer, what do you think about our life on earth? Now that we have reached here, we have a higher knowledge about our spiritual state. What do you think?

S: You are right Naina. Coming here, we now know about our other lifetimes. Retrospecting would be a good thing to do!

N: Hmm...ya. so what do you think about our life on earth?

S: this lifetime was a better one compared to others, maybe because we could be together in love for a longer time!

N: Yes! Else our rest of the lifetimes, we were always pushed away from each other by our fates.

S: Yes. Now that I look back, we were paying for our karma. Thankfully in the previous lifetime we had gotten rid of most of our negative karma giving us a better next reincarnation as Naina and Sameer.

N: True. But we had our fair share of mistakes in this lifetime too. Considering our story, set on the earth as the stage and we as the characters, what do you feel our mistakes were, in our love?

S: Coming to think of it, we did make a lot of mistakes. Some together while some others individually. My first mistake was my anger on my mother. I agree she had left me yet things could have been better between us if I hadn't been angry at her and had given her a chance. I dint see the positive aspects of it. It was because of her ignorance that I became closer to Nanu. It was yet again because of her that I learnt how to be independent from a very young age.

N: Hmm...my first mistake was being over dutiful. I should have let people go if they hadn't done homework or stuff, atleast sometimes. What I did for you I could have done for others too. If doing all those things for you wasn't wrong, doing for them shouldn't have been either.

S:My next mistake was my attitude. Yes I was very handsome and charming yet I couldn't imbibe Nanu's down to earth quality to the fullest. If I had, I would never have done what I did with you. I'm so sorry Naina. I hurt you so much.

N: It's alright Sameer. If you hadn't placed the bet, we wouldn't have become close either.
My next mistake was my anger too. I made you do all sorts of things, spoke so rudely with you. I should have forgiven you earlier. Infact, I should have listened to your justification or reason behind the bet.

S: Yes I agree to that Naina. Hey Ram, what all you made me to do!

N: shut up okay! Itna bhi nahi tha!

S: Okay Baba!
So my next mistake was ....

They continued this way....

N: My next mistake was I shouldn't have broken up with you. It's not that I dint know about my family before. I should have mustered courage and atleast tried to talk to Chachaji! Atleast that way Sunaina wouldn't have taken up enemity with us.

S: Yes, you are right Naina. It was my fault too. I should have cleared your fears and given you courage. If you backed out, I should have taken some steps forward to make you trust our love. And somewhere I feel I played with Sunaina's feelings. Just to make you jealous, I gave her false hopes. Maybe if I hadn't done that, they wouldn't have become our rivals!

N: Hmm.. yes. My next mistake was I should have shown courage and stood up against my family when I was being forced to marry Sharad, who had misbehaved and ill-treated me!

S: It's not completely your fault there! You all had been trained to listen and comply with all that the elders say!
My next mistake was convincing my family for marriage in the wrong way! I shouldn't have threatened to end my life and forced them to accept this marriage. Infact, I should have explained to them! Pyaar se karta toh shayad humari shaadi itni drame se packaged nahi hoti!

N: ha! Ha! Sach kaha!

S: My next mistake was not supporting you when everybody made fun of your noodle hair. I should have supported you then.

N: It's alright Sameer! Aise dekha Jaye toh I myself did not manage things maturely.

They went on confessing all their mistakes. They felt so light after confessing.

This random thought came to me and I penned it down. This is just a light conversation.
Though it hasn't come out so well, I do hope you ppl like it.

Lovingly,
Pratyu
