The Fated Couple - Chapter 2


Year 1942 

Rose

It has been a year since I've started interacting with this John. I gave him ideas and he worked his magic. He was charming, witty, smart and most importantly handsome.

I watched as John worked on my latest blueprint. He was covered in dust with his slightly long brown hair tied up in a small pony, his sleeves folded up, showing his tan skin and beads of sweat trickling his forehead. I could keep looking at him forever.

"Hey, you are staring as if you'll burn a hole through me".

He smirked, "Like what you see".

I rolled my eyes and hurried off to the kitchen. I couldn't let him see me turning into a tomato.

I fumbled through some ingredients and put together a sandwich. I knew how John would sometimes forget to eat or drink while working. That's how focused he would be. I felt proud to be in the same room as him. He didn't understand how much talented he was. He was perfect. My kind of perfect.

I grabbed the tray and stepped in to the living room where he was working. "We should go out".

He raised his eyebrow, "Suddenly?"

"Uh.. I mean you've been holded up here since a couple of weeks. I think getting some fresh air would do good for you... I mean us"

"Oh yeah, sure let's go out. What do you have in mind?"

"I've always wanted to visit the circus. There is one in town. So what do you say?"

"Your wish is my command lady", he bowed.

I couldn't stop laughing at his politeness.
...

Time flew and I knew what I had to do. *Coughs*.  

"John, I have something to discuss with you"

"Yeah, go head"

"I want you to continue on your research the one you gave up on".

"Rose, you know there is no hope for that".

"But, you can. I believe in you. Please John do it for me".

I could see the gears turning in his head. He was hesitant but I needed him to do this. I placed my hand his, reassuring him, convincing him.

"Fine, I'll try once more".

*Coughs* 

"You okay? You've been coughing a lot lately".

"I'm fine John, Don't worry", I smiled.

Everything will be fine. I might not be by your side for much long, know that I'll always be with you.

The Fated Couple - Chapter 1

"Grandpa, Tell me more about yours inventions!" "Yes... I was an inventory once, *scoffs* what a fool I was...". "Why do you say that? Aren't inventors really cool!" He adjusted his glasses to take a better look, "Mateo... was it? I once thought I could play with time. Only to have it play me". "". John started rocking in his chair as he closed his eyes remembering, "It all started in 1941..." Year 1941 John I chugged a bottle of rum to drown all the noise inside my head. I spent years to invent the machine that could make history, I even refused other ideas. They were right...with no investors, no money, I'm here spending my last dime to get drunk and get wasted. Is this how it ends for me? I lost my balance and almost tripped on the stairs when a hand grabbed a hold of me. Everything was a blur, the last thing I saw was someone with a blue hat and a dress before loosing consciousness. I woke up to a wooden ceiling. ...

Finding Happiness

Welcome to my very first blog. Considering I'm new to this world, I really hope you would pardon my mistakes. This will be a series of such blogs as we try to figure some of the essential truths of life. I hope you enjoy this journey.   Let's see what is this thing called as happiness is all about. I can tell you one thing for certain that each and everyone of us including me and you are after this feeling. So we work day and night, stressing ourselves, trying to find this emotion. In fact so much so that we end up dedicating our entire life for this cause. You might say-'No that's not right not all of us are running behind happiness. Everyone has their own needs'. To answer that question let me explain it to you this way. Sure people have different desires and ambitions but tell me something what is it are you trying to accomplish by fulfilling them?
