We are here under the tree talking about something that pops into our heads.
“Babe, Do you know why some people choose hell over heaven?” He asked after a long silence.
I laughed, “Are you serious, babe? Who would choose hell? I mean, heaven is a peaceful place while hell—uh never mind "I said looking at him.
Then his face went serious, “Uhm, what's with your face?” I asked.
"I just remembered something that my grandmother said before she passed away"
"Like what? " I asked before laughing again.
" I'm serious babe, Don't laugh" He sighed, “Heaven is a peaceful place yet a sad one. Hell is a reminiscing place but this place won't drive you to peace” He seriously said that makes me silent for a while.
“Okay, okay, wait. I don't get it. Heaven is peaceful yet sad? Hell is memorable— like… what? I'm confused”
He once again sighed, “Babe! Okay okay, if you were to choose between heaven and hell, what would it be?”
I immediately answered, “Heaven, of course. How about you? Don't tell me you choose hell?"
“Hm, Yes. You're right. if I were to choose, I'd choose hell,” he said.
“Babe, Why?”
“Do you know why people say 'rest in peace'?”
“So the person's soul will be at peace?” I was confused.
“Exactly. And how will they be at peace?” he asked.
“By removing the pain they have suffered?” I answered.
“That's the answer,” he said.
A question mark was shown on my face, “What exactly do you mean?”
Now I sit straight.
“Like momma said. Heaven is a peaceful place because people's souls will be at peace. Their memories will get erased, especially the bad memories and that's why it is 'rest in peace'” he explained.
“And do you know why I'd rather choose hell than heaven?” he asked. I shook my head in response.
“Because I can't give up on one thing..” he said.
“What's that?” I asked.
“Memories..” he added.
