Life B
"Hey do you know? Mr and Mrs Kumar are heading for divorce?Mamta asked.
"Yeah, Mrs Kumar told me yesterday." I replied
"She must have mentioned the reason." she asked curiously.
" No,She said it is personal and I didn't force her." I answered
"Hmm, sooner or later we will get to know the real reason."Mamta went after few hours.
I wondered why we are always worried to know about others affairs.

I went to terrace and gazed at the sky . My mind recalled the conversation with Mrs Kumar.
She told me how her husband used to neglect her and always prefer to stay out of the station on the name of his tour.
Although many times, different organizations call him to deliver motivational speeches.
Feeling neglected and ignored, Mrs Kumar got attracted towards a person on a social media app. They both started chatting, and she herself didn't know when and how she fell in love with him.She shared everything with him.One day he purposed her, At that time she didn't have the courage to tell this to her husband and family.
One day she watched one of the motivational session of her husband where he was addressing to the youths of a college.

"Give your life the chance to become your masterpiece.
Give it the chance to be the best life you can imagine.
See all your dreams coming to reality. Cause there isn't a second life.
If the first life isn't as good as you wished. There is only this one life.
Go, catch all your dreams. Don't be afraid to fail.
Cause if you don't try you will fail anyway. There is only this one option.
There is no life B.
So, let your dreams come to reality.
THIS is your life. Your ONLY one"

She watched it again and again and again.
The thought kept hitting her mind..
*There is no life B*..*There is no life B*...
And she made up her mind and decided to file the divorce...
Mr. Kumar was surprised at her decision. She told him all the reasons . Reality hit him hard but now there was no use crying over the spilled milk."

"Why you are standing here in the dark.. atleast switch on the light" Husband's voice broke the chain of my thoughts.
"Listen.. is there no life B?"I asked
"Who knows?" He shrugged
"Why you are asking, wait are you still there in ..?.come out of their story.." He insisted and added "Some stories are written like that only."
"Is she doing wrong?" I asked
"Wrong and right is different in everyone's dictionary .Don't take stress about them" He replied
"What if the second man also treat her the same way?" I shared my concern.
"Then again she is free to follow the same rule if she has such a deep belief " He smiled
"Which?" I asked
"There is no Life B"
He cracked it as a joke but I couldn't laugh.
