It was their anniversary and Rebecca was waiting for her husband Raynold to show up. Things had changed since their marriage; the once cute couple who couldn’t even live without each other had now turned bitter. They fought over every little things, both didn’t like the way things were going on. Rebecca was waiting to see if Raynold remembered that it was their Anniversary! Just as the door bell rang, she ran to find her husband wet and smiling with a bouquet of flowers in his hand; the flowers were the ones which Rebecca loved the most- Italian White Sunflowers. The two started re-living the old days; making up for fights, then was the plan for Champagne and some light music. It was raining outside, which would make their anniversary night even more special!
It was perfect. But the moment paused when the phone in the bedroom rang. Rebecca went to pick it up and a male voice on the other end spoke,
“Hello ma’am. I’m calling from the police station. Is this Mr. Raynold Dsouza’s number?”
“Yes, it is...” Rebecca spoke in a frightened tone.
“I’m sorry ma’am; but there was an accident and the man was found dead. We got this number from his wallet, we need you to come and identify the body,” the police said.
Rebecca’s heart sank; she was shocked. She spoke in a stammering voice, “But… My husband is here… with me!”
He said, “Sorry ma’am, but the accident took place around 5 p.m. while he was boarding the train...” and disconnected the call. Rebecca was about to lose her conscience. ‘How could this happen?’ she wondered. She had heard of the soul of a person coming to meet their loved ones before it leaves. She ran into the other room; Raynold was not there! ‘Was it true? He had left her for good! Oh God! I would have died for another chance to mend every little fight!' She rolled onto the floor, crying in pain. She had lost her chance, forever!
Suddenly there was a voice from the bathroom, the door opened, Raynold came out and said, “Darling, I forgot to tell you… My wallet got stolen today…”
Life might not give you a second chance. So never ever waste a moment when you can still make up for your wrongs! Let’s start making amends…
