Chapter 28

    I stared at the door for a long time, and taking a step was harder than it should have been, I don't know if I am ready to know any further revelation about myself.

       But I had to, I took a step forward, followed by another, accompanied by another, and before I knew it I was already in a world, covered with grasses, in this world they were butterflies, it was more beautiful than than of Athena, I saw two extra doors, inside they were very close together.

       I was startled when I felt a presence behind me,  a fine tall man was standing behind me with a slight smile on his face, and his hands behind his back, wait can he see me?I turned the other direction searching for someone or something he must be looking at, but I found nothing.

     " I am looking at you, rethabile", wait did he just call my name, I can't believe it, someone can see me, he can speak to me?, I am no longer invisible, that means this isn't a story, or a revelation, I can't believe how happy I am right now, I could explode.

     " Hi sir, you can see me " ? Just to be sure I had to ask, maybe there's another girl named Rethabile, " yes I can see you, and it's time to go home before it's too late", home, I can go home as In earth, wow, " yes you can go home now, before it's too late, you need to rectify some mistakes before it's too late". 

     " You read minds,  well everything is possible, what mistake do I have to rectify, and I thought I was dead on earth, how can I go back home?.

    " It's  a matter of choice, there are two doors, one leading to earth,and the other leading to the after life, you can choose any one to go through, each comes with a great responsibility"

        This is really confusing. Do I want to go back to earth, after finding out that I was used as a vessel for years, not only that, how would my life back on earth be if I already knew the truth? Where have the two souls been all this while without me knowing?

          " They have been leaving inside you, ever since you were born, they had been in a deep slumber, and the nightmares you had were the doings of the evils ones, hunting the souls in your body, you can only fight back with a strong will to survive, because the people against you are more than you think.

       As you leave this place, the souls will awaken and that will mark a new beginning for you and everyone that crosses your path. You are special, rethabile, and  rare. It is almost impossible to contain two extra souls but you were able to do that and still be alive.

       That makes you special, now it's your turn to decide if you want to fight this battle, and win, or go to the afterlife and the creator decides your faith", this is confusing I can give up and go to the after life, or back to earth  Where I have to face two souls and different enemies.

     What should I do? Should I go now or stay here forever? Wait peter, my joy giver would be waiting for me on earth, I was selfish again without thinking of him, I need him, I caused him pain right from my birth, I want to feel his lips on mine.

    I miss my family so much, I feel empty without them, I miss earth, And I want to leave my life to the fullest, I want to finish my bucket list, and get married with children, I want to watch me and Peter grow old together, before going to the afterlife.

     I also need to fulfil the wish of two souls, " I am ready to go back to earth, sir, but I don't know where to start from, please guide me", the man had a satisfied look on his face. He seemed to be amazed by my thought.

     " That Is my job. I am your guardian angel, and I am here to guide you, 'the journey of a thousand miles starts with a foot step '  my dear the door at the right side us the door to earth, I would be by your side when i am needed to say farewell lovely one.

     "Wait, you are an angel!"?, I actually thought you would be in a white garment,and a pair of sandals accompanied with a pair of  glorious shiny wings. He only smiled without saying anything; he just stretched his hands towards the gateway to earth.

       And it opened surprisingly, I guess it's time to go, I looked back at the man who was standing behind me, hmm seems he disappeared, I took a step forward,.. accompanied by another, time to say farewell to this place, it looks so beautiful, I would love to have a garden like this one day.

     As I walked through the portal to earth everything became blank as I began to gasp for air.
