A-Adam is that you? She said not believing what she's seeing from her eyes

Yes it is, my little Oriana. Adam replied, smiling. 

H-how can this be? You are dead. Is this a dream? She said in a whisper as she pinched herself wincing as she was indeed awake. 

I came here as there are some things we must talk about. I am only able to stay here until the candle is done. Adam said gently, stepping closer to Selena.

If I blow the candle out and relight it does that mean I can see you anytime? Selena was excited and happy to finally see her beloved. 

No my little Oriana as I can only be here one time this is the only time you will only be able to see me. Adam said a bit sadly.

Then why is it that I can see you? Why did you choose NOW of all times to come? I needed you for a long time yet you didn’t visit me. I lost our children ADAM why now? Selena said mixed on her feelings from being happy, sad, and angry he wasn’t here before. 

I couldn’t come before there are rules and reasons why most people, aside from people who have extraordinary gifts or special reasons to be able to see us. It takes a lot of energy to be able to be here. It took me a long time to build this energy to come. I was able to make a deal where once you lit this candle we were able to see each other even if it was just one more time. I knew one day you would light this candle as it had always had a special meaning to us, the very first purchase we made to our home. I know it has been rough and you're going down a terrible path. I don't want you to come this way, it’s not your time you still have a bright future ahead of you. I promise it’s going to get easier soon. Adam said as he gently put his hand on Selena's cheek that surprisingly felt warm compared to what she heard about different ghost stories. 

What do you expect EVERYTHING that mattered most to me was taken from me in a matter of a month. She snapped angrily.

The children had bodies that weren’t strong enough and you weren't strong enough to be able to receive them. At that time you were working yourself to the bone not taking a break and doing too much your body couldn’t handle it. I promise you they will come back to you in one form or another. They are eagerly waiting for you to get better so they can join you. 

That can’t be. When we pass away we go to heaven as our final destination where we celebrate the lives we lived while watching over the people who are alive, our friends, and family. Selena argued. 

That isn’t true. If we want to stay we can but if we want to go back down we can always go back and be reborn; though we will lose the memories of our previous life and start a new leaf when we are reincarnated into a new life. This is not the point you need to stay here as it is not your time to leave. You have 2 paths you can choose from but right now you can't leave.

What do you mean about 2 paths?
