Affair with an Alien (3 page)

“Kill me Mike. Take my heart. Get your key and save your home. You are the best part of me and I am happy that I got the chance to live my life. There is nothing more I need. I had you and that was all I really needed. “

Mike looked at me and before he could say something, the monitor started beeping very loudly. There was a flash of numerous lights and a siren of sorts started playing. There was too much commotion and Mike suddenly was muttering something in another language.

He immediately headed to the dashboard and started playing a few commands. I sat there, unaware of what was happening and I saw that the replica of his planet which was kept on the dashboard and was clouded in dark colors started shining.

After what seemed to be half an hour, Mike looked at me. He was both happy and sad.

“Sophia, you can go home. You don’t need to die. You can be with your parents, your friends and colleagues. You can go back to your own life. Your heart wasn’t the key. It was.

I mean, the key wasn’t the actual biological organ. It was the feelings in your heart. You had unadulterated and pure love in your heart which is a true quality of pure Skia blood. You loved me without demands. You didn’t ask for anything in return and the selfless love of the true Skia heart was the key to the portal. Look at that replica there and the shining lights. The black hole is gone. Your power was transmitted by my ship to the researchers who are constantly mentoring the energy from this ship.

Although, you know everything about us, it could be dangerous but you’re a part of us. I made sure, no one would harm you. You’re safe Sophia. You’re free. You can go home!”

He was so happy that my heart ached. He hadn’t realized so far that I would never go back home because he was the person I wanted to make a home with. However, I was happy that he got back his planet and I knew I would carry his memory with me for the rest of my life.

“Can I kiss you one last time?” he asked.

My heart hurt at the word ‘
last
’ and yet I knew that I might never meet this man again. I didn’t say yes but moved ahead and kissed him.

We didn’t touch or move. We just let our lips meet and lived the moment as if locking it in our memories to be played again and again. It was
our moment
. Some stories don’t end and ours would never end. We met momentarily, but the impact of the meeting was such that no matter what I did with my life, I knew there would be a part of me that would always belong to him.

As we broke the kiss, I cried and this time, he didn’t ask me why. He knew why I was crying, but I had to make an exit. The ship was needed back on Skia and so I quickly said my goodbye and started to leave.

“Eronio glimata Sophia.” He said these words and then handed me a letter. I had no clue when he wrote it down but I knew he had too many powers and he could have done it easily.

I took it in my hands and as I landed back on the same beach, the ship vanished in front of my eyes.

I opened the letter and started reading it.

“Eronio glimata Sophia.

You may not know what it means. It is the highest form of love which we feel at Skia. The place of the bright sun and the shining moon is known as Eclia. It is believed that you only visit the place when you find your true love and you want to be tied down to them. I hadn’t known I felt so strongly for you until the scene changed.

Until we meet again,

Eronio glimata, Sophia.

I love you, too.”

I kissed the letter and looked at the sky. A star fell and I just knew Mike was waving me a goodbye.

Eronio glimata, Mike.
