Homecoming

They followed the tree that had marks and reached near a big tree with beautiful green leaves. It was strange that big tree had flowers instead of fruits. Iris was amazed.

"Now there is no marks, this was the last tree but we didn't got that door" said Iris.

"If it's the last tree that door must be here because look this tree is too strange also" said Markz.

They were looking for the door near the tree. Iris was very much exhausted she sat under the tree to take some rest. A shower of young flowers fell upon her. She began to gather the raining petals in her hands. She wanted more flowers so, she called Markz and asked him to pluck flowers for her. The tree was tall, Markz climbed the tree and plucked the flower. Suddenly the trunk of that tree formed the shape of the door.

"Omg!! What is this" said Iris surprisingly.

"It must be the way to that door" said Markz.

They both went inside the trunk, there was the stair leading to the basement which they discovered. Curiosity level of Iris was rising. Finally they both were standing in front of that beautiful big door. That door seemed very much inviting to them. The angels made on that door seemed as if they were telling them to go inside. Iris took out the key and was walking towards the door to open it.

"Iris I have to go, I can't go with you inside this gate" said Markz.

Iris looked at him and said"But we both have made the key and have discovered this door, you can't leave me alone here ".Markz told her that he is not having any interest in knowing the mystery and wants to go back to his house. Iris got angry and said him to leave. Markz left that place.

Meanwhile, Becky was too sad she used to sit at the window continuously gazing at the forest and waiting for her daughter. She saw someone coming from the forest, it came closer. Damn! it wasn't someone but her own daughter Iris. Becky ran too fast and hugged her very tightly. Nancy and Jackson's hope turned into reality. They both hugged her. Becky scolded Iris very harshly but Iris made an excuse that she found a rabbit who was injured and she helped recover him. Becky said "You are crazy, Iris". Everyone was happy and they all went inside their house happily.

Though Iris was exited to open that door but she was sad too because Markz left her alone. But her curiosity was rising and finally that key was put at a right place and that door got unlocked. iris pushed it and slowly opened it. Iris was stunned for a while, she saw white clouds and a stair leading one more door. Everything was sounding dreamy for her. She put her fist step on the first stair and looked everywhere, she felt like as if she was standing on clouds. she continued her walk and reached that door. That door got opened all by itself. Iris eyes widen and she kept gazing at the inside scene. The beautiful garden filled with greenery and flowing water. The ground were made of saffron and rubies and gems. Soil was made up of sweet smelling amber. Iris went inside, she couldn't believe on her eyes that she was in Nirvana(heaven). The saying that Nirvana is filled with peace, joy and praise was proved right. Iris got the peace at that place.

Soon armies clothed in white on white horses came to Iris.

"Who are you?", asked Iris.

One of them said "We are the army of god, people call us faithful".

"Is this really a Nirvana?", asked Iris.

They replied yes to her. One of the faithful came towards her and told Iris that god has ordered them to bring her in his mansion. Iris didn't said anything and silently she sat on the horse because she had a great respect and faith in God. She felt very fortunate at that moment.

The white horses entered the big mansion, such an angelic mansion. Peace and joy enveloped that mansion. The singing of birds, the sound of flowing river was clearly audible. Mansion was shining like a gem, each walls were made with silver and gold. Clouds surrounded that mansion and rainbow too. Iris was lost in the beauty and peace. She walked slowly and angels dressed in white gown were standing and playing a soft music for welcoming Iris.

Iris was deeply lost in the sounds of soft music. Everything was so angelic, straight away a singing bird came and crowned Iris. This was the sign that she is now a part of that mansion. She was bursting with joy and enjoyed unfolded like a flower. Soon a flying carriage with white horses in it landed. Everyone bowed their head.

Iris saw a man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white , like white wool or something like snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like furnished bronze, refined in a furnace and with his voice which was like the roar of many waters, he called Iris towards her. She went with tears in her eyes ,she sat on her knees and bowed her head.
