59. A Universe Apart [Valentine's Day Special]

 

I couldn’t believe it when it happened.

I should have never let you go in first..

When you and your team walked through that portal, a portal to another habitable world at the opposite end of the universe.

I was so excited and nervous to walk in after you.

But then.. Something went wrong.

The portal became unstable, the energy core couldn’t take the astronomically colossal amount of energy it took to stay open and transport you all across all reality. 

And right after you all went in… The entire machine exploded. Half the lab was vaporized, including the machine. We are lucky it didn’t turn into a black hole and consume the entire Earth.

But I didn’t feel lucky. 

I was critically injured, knocked back several feet with third degree burns to my body.. But I survived, just barely. 

The moment I woke up in the hospital, I ripped everything off me and ran out in searing pain.. Against doctor’s wishes. I didn’t care about my well being, I just wanted to you. 

I came back to the lab and was briefed on the situation.. You and the rest of them made it to the planet safely. Though all communications has been cut off except for a single rescue beacon that you all used to let us know that you were okay. Thank God.

Unfortunately the portal machine was totally destroyed.

I didn’t know if you were truly safe.

But you had to be. 

You told me right before you left..

That it will all be okay.

That we will be together again. Regardless if we are a hundred trillion light years apart.. Or right next to each other.

That our love will always keep us together and no matter what, we will be each other’s loving embrace again. 

And that you loved me most of all. 

…Yes.

Even now I still can feel you, see you, and even hear you.

Maybe I have gone insane from grief. 

But I can hear your voice calling out to me.. 

Carried along by all the stars in the cosmos..

By the constellations..

The black holes.

And all the galaxies that exist..

A hundred trillion light years. 

Right to me. 

As if you were right in front of me. 

My love.. 

My shooting star. 

You are my wish. 

You have always been my wish. 

You are all I have ever wanted. 

Forever.

We..

We were to be the new Adam and Eve in this new Exo Planet Paradise.

To be the first couple to know love on this planet. Maybe.. The very first to have a child on this planet. 

And our descendants would inherit the entire world and more. 

A new habitable world where humanity could grow and become something new. 

Where we would could be whole in this utopia, all our work and effort finally paid off. 

If only this disaster hadn’t of happened... 

Damnit.

No, I wont let it all be for nothing!

Don’t you worry.. I will make sure that all still happens. 

As nothing in this universe will keep us separated forever.

Not even the universe itself. 

For our love transcends this reality.. It transcends everything.

Fortunately, I know you and the rest of your team were given enough supplies to last a year on that new planet.

And the scientists tell me it will take about 6 months to rebuild the teleportation machine, so that we may be together again. 

But until then, I peer out into the sky every night and into the heart of the universe.. 

Waiting for the stars to bring you to me. 

I know you are also looking out into that alien sky, wishing for us to be in each other arms again. 

But I want you to never lose hope and always remember.

Though we are A Universe Apart.

That will not stop me. 

That will not stop us. 

Because not even the Universe is big enough to keep us apart. 

Despite its vast size, it still has a finite limited space. 

The Universe has an end. 

But our love.

Has no end. 

Our love.

Is infinite.
