Heaven is just what I thought it would be. In fact I've been living it for the past years already, but only now it feels complete. Taking a deep breath I let the fresh air deep into my lungs. Fresh grass, I always loved that scent. Funny how alive you feel once you are dead. It's like being reborn, absorbing everything around you like a curios toddler discovering a whole new world. And yet everything is familiar. Paki laughs at me as she sits besides me. There are portals, she had told me. One-way mirrors to the other world. And as she lets her feet down, dangling them in the water, I think I've just found mine.
"I knew they would make it," I say slightly smiling.
"Of course," Paki answers patting my hand. A soft touch like a gentle spring breeze leaving goose bumps on my skin.
I tilt my head to see the strange couple, like I used to call them, better. They weren't that strange to me, actually. It almost felt like looking into a mirror. Memories that had never really left me, suddenly flooded my mind. Dark, shattering, heart wrenching, happy, a giant wave of emotions.
He stares at the empty road ahead. Hesitantly. Clenching his fist, then relaxing again. Clenching, relaxing, clenching, relaxing, clenching, relaxing.
"I am afraid," he repeats, the voice hoarse and low. And once again I can relate to him.
"Isn't there any way to reach out to them?" I ask Paki. "I know you did it. You came to me."
"It's not easy, but possible."
Looking back for a moment he lets his shoulders slouch. Go back and be at peace or face the outside world again?
"Sahib?"
"Let's go," he says clenching his fist again. Too many promises he can't break, too many people to take care of.
And one big outstanding score to settle.
