THE SECOND CHANCE:
It was 25th January 2008. Nisha was waiting for her husband, Akshaye. It was their marriage anniversary. Things have changed since their marriage. From the cute couple, they turned into a fighting one. They quarrel every day over every small thing. Nisha gave up, thinking that Akshaye must have forgotten their anniversary and surely wouldn't be back home on time.
Akshaye too didn't like how things were going. She was so loving, so caring before marriage; how everything changed so radically. Yet they still loved each other.
It was 4:00 p.m. The bell rang. Nisha was surprisingly happy. Akshaye finally remembered... She ran to open the door. Indeed, Akshaye was standing outside. He was smiling and had a bunch of flowers in his hand. The two then started reliving their beautiful days, making up for their quarrels. There was champagne, light music, and it was raining a little outside. Overall, the weather too seemed to get romantic along with them.
But the moment came to a slight pause. The phone in the bedroom was ringing. Quite agitated, Nisha went to pick up the phone. It was a man on the other side. "Hello madam, I am calling from the police station. Is it Mr. Akshaye Malhotra's number?"
"Yeah, it is."
"There was an accident and a man died. We got your number from the man's purse. We need you to come here and identify the body."
Nisha's heart sank. "Whhhhaaat?? B-but my husband is here with me?"
"Sorry madam, the accident took place at 3:00 p.m. when the man was trying to board a bus."
Nisha was about to lose her senses. How could this happen? She knew about these types of things. She had heard about this. The soul of the person comes to meet you before it departs. She ran to the drawing room. Akshaye was not there... Is it true? Has something that bad really happened to Akshaye? Has he left her forever? Oh God... had she been given another chance, she would have mended all her faults... She rolled down on the floor, awestruck.
Suddenly there was noise from the bathroom. Akshaye came out... "I forgot to tell you, dear, my purse was stolen while I was returning home..."
Life might not give you a second chance... So never waste a moment when you can make up for your deeds.
Live, Laugh, Love
Forget, Forgive
And Enjoy.........

I am not sure if this was just a story or a true incident you posted, Monika. But I can say from personal experience that it does happen... in different guises, in fact. Quite often, many people fail to see the second or third chances that he/she is given by HIM; by the time they realize, it would be too late to make amends. All the individual is left with is to face the consequences of his/her misplaced/misguided actions.
