I rushed to go down. I didn't even thought to wear my slippers, lying beside my bed. I jumped off the bed and went down, banging the door behind me. I think I was flying.
I was running, fast, too quickly but you know I have some serious issues. Want to know what? I have a habit of making mistakes. What I did in hurry was, I didn't saw May coming from the other side and we collided.
"Ouch!" we both shouted, lying on the ground.
"Don't you have eyes?!" she asked, scrubbing her head.
"What do you mean?" I asked
"Never mind. Why were you running like a bullet train?" she enquired
"Well" I started, with excitement in my voice. I think she was also surprised with such a modulation in my voice. "I finally, know what I have to know. I know what I want!"
"Can you justify." She demanded, confused.
"Oh, so sorry. I mean I recognized her." I said
"Really?" she said with a smile on her face but then, her expressions dropped and she said, "So, what's so exciting? It's just a normal thing."
"No, not normal. I was eagerly waiting for her to return. I am going to tell her that I am in love with her. Finally, Ash loves Misty!" I exclaimed again.
May had a quite smile on her face but I knew she was happy for me and for Misty. Suddenly, my eyes fell on her and I asked, "May?"
"Hmmm…" she said
"Aren't you happy? Is everything alright?" I asked
"No. it's not like that. I am happy for you. I am just bit emotional for Misty, she's my friend." She said and I believed
Then, she continued, "I just want to say-" and just then, the door bell rang again. I preferred to open the door. I didn't heard what May had to say but I figured out something like Be Happy or so.
I pulled the door open to let her come in. it was still a storm out, raining heavily. When the door opened I saw her standing over there.
"Hey you are back!" I said in happiness. I was going to hold her hand to drag her in but just then-
"Don't!" she said, indicating my hand.
I felt bit strange but still I didn't mind. May was still watching us, tensed.
"Ok, as you wish." I said and continued "Where were you? you know I was so worried? And how's your fever? Are you all right? Ok. Leave it, first come in."
"Stay away!" she warned, this time, seriously
"What are you saying? You are behaving like strangers." I complained
She remained quite. I think she had nothing so say but I thought she was trying to say something hard.
"You can say what you want." I said
"Well, I have to leave." She said, harshly.
I gulped. My words were finished up. I was empty. But I managed my tongue to expel out something, "W-What do you mean?" I asked with my eyes out.
"Yeah, It's true. I have to move to some other region." She completed, hard.
I held my hand to stop her, she stepped back in disapproval and continued, "And there's no need to follow me. From now, you should erase my images from your memories. You and I don't know each other." Her words were stones on my chest, very hard, very painful.
My heart pumped fast, I tried to answer her, "But I can't. I always have been from you." she was surprised and I continued
"And you know what, I have fallen for you, in love with you." she was still, as hard as statue, not even breathing.
I still continued, "Don't go anywhere. I know who you are, Misty!" as I completed I hugged her, my hands crushing her against me. She was still burning- hot.
But then, something unexpected occurred. Everything happened all over sudden. A blue light crushed me, pulled me back on the wall. The wall cracked and I fell onto the ground, I froze. I was like paralysed and my spinal cord was almost destroyed. I also got hurt pretty hard on my head.
I was shocked and I rubbed my head with my hand and saw blood. I saw Misty there, worried but pretending not to show affection for me. Now I realized why she asked me to step back.
She said, "And that's the problem. You don't know what I am."
I was scared. She continued, "Do know what I am? I am a Convergent."
The word Convergent danced in my head, I was still shocked. I recalled the story May told me earlier.
"I was born as a Mew Convergent." She said
"But that's no harm." I protested
"No harm? You know, what happened with you was not some kind of earthquake or disaster. It was my psychic powers. It was Mew's power." She said. I could figure out a tear in her eyes.
And she continued, "you know I am not less than a monster."
The word Monster was again striking my head off. I was lost in thoughts. I could remember when I said to May that, "I don't care until she's a monster." And now she was exactly that thing. I don't know what to do. The girl whom I liked, was not….. she is a convergent! I couldn't decide what to do. I thought that I should let her go for my safety, but I still listened what she was telling.
"And you know. I didn't knew all these things were going to happen all over sudden, however, I knew this is gonna happen one day. I was not ready. Hence, I left Cerulean city. When you took me there, Daisy recognized me. I was not feeling well, so I rushed to a hospital but, before reaching there something really bad happened….." she sighed
"And now, I got transformed into this, A Scary Monster! This is what I was born for?" she cried, and I didn't felt good.
She didn't intended to finish yet, "I went to my sister, to help me out and she threw me out of the gym. She says I am not Misty; I am just a duplicate monster. And you say you have fallen in love with me, huh? I am not your 6 on 10 anymore. I am Misty, a kind of monster. Who would love a monster?" she demanded for a replied. I felt quite. May was also seeing all these things, standing behind me but I didn't know what she was thinking.
Misty sat down, on the floor. Tears started rolling down her cheeks. I got up and stood next to her. I bent down and replied, wiping her tears, " You asked me that who would love monsters, right?" I asked, in a funny tone, with a grin on my face.
She looked up in surprise and I said, "I don't know about others, but….. I definitely love monsters, and I would even become one for you." I winked
"But… I am not a right kind of monster for you…" she tried to say something. "Shhh…!" I interrupted her as I put my hand over her mouth.
We both stood up. Then, I bent down on my one knee and said, " Misty,I will never leave you alone like your sisters did. I promise you to love you every single day of forever. Would do like to be my 6 on 10 forever?"
I could see my favorite grin on her face now, and she replied, "I had always been yours. I promise to never ever hurt you. and I will love you forever."
Then she hugged me. I grabbed her against my chest, hard. I couldn't figure out May there. Maybe she was asleep.
When she hugged me, I could figure out her powers. I wasn't able to breathe. But after all I shouldn't complaint, I loved her.
Finally, I said," I will still love you, what if….."
She repeated, tensed, "What if…."
I completed, "What if I had to be crushed to death hugging you all times or may be take a blood bath." And I chuckled
"Oh really?" her mouth fell open and she raised one eyebrow. I started running and she was chasing me.
I went out of the door, the weather was fine now. The sky was dark blue with stars shinning all over.
She was behind me. I held her hand and drag her down with me on the grass and I chucked again. We laid on the grass admiring the sky.
"It's so beautiful. Ain't it?" she asked
"Not much than you." I replied. She stared me and smiled my grin and said, "It's enough for today." And we laughed together
I still wanted to say something and I completed, "Misty, you may be a convergent but the colors of my fate, my happiness, success, failure, sadness and all my life is converged to a single point, to you and your heart. It's the convergence of my life and you are the ruler. And we'll be together for-"
Then we both said together,
A THOUSAND YEARS
