" Is it good to be an Immortal.. ? "
Anna asked her friends her friends they replied
" of course it's awesome you can love as much as you want and enjoy the world as much as you can "
" But i don't think so.. " Anna replied and left the classroom after packing her bag...
The reason Anna asked this question to her friends was because their teacher taught them a chapter which was about immortality... Anna was greatly influenced by the chapter because it was full of politics , and greed for immortality how great gods and people killed each other for the brutal thing called immortality to rule the world
She was lost in her thoughts while her way back home she didn't even realise the traffic signal that ran red and when the cars started moving, until someone pulled her from behind and told her to be careful
Anna was shocked but when she came to her senses she immediately grab the person's hand and pulled him closer to her and shouted while looking straight into the man's eyes
" Are you and immortal..!!!"
The man was shocked.. he was a tall man with a fair shin and a handsome face with broad shoulders he looked to be warrior who was in his late 20s
After a while The man smiled and replied her " why do you think so ? "
His gaze was very warm and his voice was so deep that it echoed inside he mind.. Anna blushed when the man asked her that question it was the first time that Anna communicated with a stranger in her 15 years life
She paused for a moment and replied with her tiny voice " of course you are.. you have been secretly looking after me for years.. do you think I didn't notice the first time when I entered play school , the first time when I entered high school, the first time when I won prize on music competition and the time I entered puberty.. all the first time are witness by you even if my parents missed it.. you never missed secretly looking from a far distance with that same look on your face I have grown up my parents have grown grey hair but you.. you look the same.. so you are an immortal right... "
After hearing All those words from Anna the man laughed " you are smart " that's what the man told and took his step to leave Anna grabbed him again and shouted " hey.. don't leave do you know how much courage I mustered up in order to talk with you.. hey.. !!! don't give me answer yet but atleast tell me you name and where can I meet you... again "
The man replied " I am William and I am always beside you, just call out my name and I will show up.. "
The man disappeared but the words he said carved in the head of Anna...
Next day Anna called out the name of William when she was alone at home and William showed up with a warm gaze on his eyes..
As soon as William showed up in front of her Anna questioned him " is it fun to be an immortal "
William replied " what do you think..? "
" I think it's a curse since you have to lose everything you meet in your way " Anna replied with confidence..
William was shocked hearing he answer since he thought she would reply its good to be an immortal but he was impressed he felt good to meet someone who understand his pain
" do you want to become one" he asked her
Anna kept quite for some time she didn't say anything about this but she told
" your presence make me feel warm, thank you for accompanying me during my hard times no matter how nervous I am but your presence melt my nervousness away.. you are important to me so please stay with me all through out my life.. "
" I will" William replied
years passed by Anna was now a matured women who got back job and move out from her house and lived with William her face changed but William remained same she was 26 years old no one knew the presence of William except Anna... Anna slowly grew feelings for William she was aware of that fact but she didn't want William to know about it yet because she was afraid to lose him
Anna was a great novelist one day she planned to write a novel on immortality that defined the life of William she asked him
" how old are you...? "
" 600 years or so " William replied..
" what so old... " Anna was completely shocked she was not shocked because of the age but how lonely life he must have spend all this years she asked him
" how many love ones have you lost all your life.. do you like this immortality "
" I have lost many but my only one snatched my heart and didn't returned me yet I thought immortality was a present when I was with her.. but after I lost her this immortality became curse all I could do was to wait for her to incarnate so that I can be with her "
William replied with a beam of sadness in his eyes.. reading his eyes Anna could tell how sad he must have been to face all these Anna didn't know what to asked so she just quite down for some moment.. William started talking again..
" I have all the good memories of her but she forgot all about me I mean nothing but a complete stranger "
" so you have met her incarnation..?"
William nodded saying yes..
" could you tell me who she is so that I can talk for you.. "
William looked at Anna with a sad eyes he asked " will you believe me if I tell you..? "
" of course " she replied...
William paused for a moment and looked at her
" it's you... " was all he said..
Anna was shocked she felt out of the world.. she immediately replied..
" is that why you have been accompanying all this years"
William nodded again saying yes..
" what if I never asked this question " Anna was angry
" I had still stay by your side like this "
" what if I get married and have kids with someone else " Anna aked him..
" I had still stay by your side and wait until I have a chance to be with you even if I have to wait for you in your next life.. "
" you fool...!! " Anna screamed and hugged him..
William told him about all his life and how he met Anna in his previous life about their love and how she died at an early age in her previous life Although Anna didn't remember anything but the story which William told her was enough to make her sad and cry her heart out...
years passed they got married and had kids Anna turned old her hairs turned completely grey but William was still a man in his late 20s that's the reason he had hidden himself from his own kids he again started feeling this immortality to be a curse but then Anna handed him a book... before she passed away.. she told him..
" Pass this book to my next incarnation I am sure i will remember you not only this life but how many life's I have left I want to be with you and spent my life with you... don't think this immortality as a curse take this as a blessing you could see our child and me grow again and again... I wish I could be with you for a little more but I promise I will be with you for a long time than this life... " hearing this words William broke down into tears her book title was "please remember him" this showed how much Anna loved him.. William was ready to wait for her no matter how long it took...
He accompanied her in all the her lives but in all the lives Anna passed by once she was even born a a boy but still William loved her all he could only in the last life when William immortality was lifted and he could die with Anna which was the seventh life of Anna They both held hands together and died.. William Witness 7 lives of Anna but he loved her all even when she turned old and grey and ugly he still held her hand tightly as in their last life..the heaven looked upon them and freed William from this curse.. now they are together in the world somewhere happily ever after....
