It was six months ago, our relationship was going too strong. Knight's birthday was today. He invited me to his house at planet Earth. I was very exciting to go on my favorite Planet. I brushed my wavy hair and noticed that it was growing thick and healthy.
"I am pretty." I said to myself while looking into my dual purpose mirror than can also be used as an online television if I touched the option button at the lower right side corner.
I wear sky blue dress with a little floral design at the edging that automatically changes color every 5 minutes from pink to blue. My boots was also trendy color blue.
"Too shiny ... Hahaha..." I laughed on my lips after applying pinkish lip gloss.
Finally, I am done. I started walking going to travel station. I rode the tube type human transportation wherein I will just sit on it while experiencing a very fast movement. The experienced was like riding a bullet train in planet Earth but the difference was it will be more than 2 hours.
So while inside the transparent tube, you can see the universe outside Mars. My eyes became bigger to see the small bluish planet Earth. The land has half green color and half portion was grey because of the Cities' installed or erected high buildings or facilities. There are lots of stars in the universe and I can see the very hot sun that seems so near but truly so far. Astronauts from planet Earth and Mars were roving all over and fixing satellites and other form of transportation outside the two planets. I think they are more than 1000. I saw some fast moving other vehicles going to planet Earth. It was like a speed of light and faster than this tube coaster. Riding that was too expensive. I looked to my left side and saw some big spaceships from my planet going to Earth. I think some multi-billionaire programmers were inside.
After 1 hour and 35 minutes, we successfully landed to the planet Earth.
"Is that a true birds?" A 7 year-old girl asked her mother on my left side while pointing to the group of doves at the sky. Her mother smiled at her and said yes.
"Let me count!" She said with amazement.
I felt a little dizziness. So when I entered the escalator, I am unaware that instead of pushing the close button, I touched the finger of the chinito guy besides me.
"Ah, sorry." I said then removing my finger. He just raised his two eyebrows as a sign that it is okay.
I walked all over the area and saw a painting of a crying woman with her cyborg husband. Her appearance was a little bit like me.
"You're appearance was a little bit like her." The chinito Asian guy that I accidentally touched said silently while also looking to the painting.
"I came here at planet Earth for many times and read the history of the painting. It was brought from the future by a time traveler. Maybe it was you and that was your future husband." He said that gives me goose bumps. He even doesn't know that it could be possible because I am a time traveler and we are only few who can time travel.
"Maybe not ..." I said to him with a smile.
"Maybe yes ... truly and absolutely yes..." He insisted that makes me curious to the painting. I don't know if this guy is just making fun of me.
When he went to other location, I looked closely to the painting and examined if it really looks like me.
So the girl has long curly hair with a little bit mature appearance.
I touched my nose and swallow my saliva. "Oh, no... We have similar face and height. Is it me?" I silently said.
Then, I moved my eyes on the cyborg guy who holds her hand while sitting on the wheel chair with an appearance of being so old. His face was undetermined because of dark shades of the artist.
"Is it Knight?" I said silently.
I checked the signature of the painter. The first letter was "A" and followed by too many lines. So I asked the walking lady which is the tour guide in the area.
"It was brought by a beautiful chinita girl from the future. She was 9 years from now in loving memory of the two lovers." The woman explained.
"Thank you. Is there any information?" I asked more.
" Our boss said that woman said that the two loves planet Earth. That is why her painting deserves to be displayed in this area." She additional said.
"Thank you for the information." I said silently.
"Am I that woman? Am I going to die soon? Is Knight that cyborg? Who is the painter? I questioned myself while still looking on the painting.
I am currently waiting to Knight's call. Some of the tourist like me leave the area.
I was a little bit bored so I went outside the covered station and walked to the near mini forest with lake.
I sat near the clear lake. I smiled while looking to the butterflies and birds flying everywhere. Trees were so many and grasses were green. I inhaled and exhaled while forgetting the painting.
"It is not me." I silently said then started to sing my favorite song though it sounds terrible because I am not so good in singing.
"I see trees of green, red roses too. I see them blue for me and you. And I think to myself, what a wonderful world."
I sang silently while feeling the pureness of air and smelling the grasses besides me.
"The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky are also in the faces of people going by..." I continued singing that makes me happier during that moment.
I stopped when I heard that someone was walking near my location.
"You wake me..." The chinito guy said while standing beside the trees.
"Ah, I'm sorry." I said while looking in my back.
"Are you a Marsian or Human?" He asked me with a bit confusion on his face.
"A Marsian, of course. My microchip no. was still visible at the back of my neck. Why do you asked?" I explained on him.
"Nothing ..." He smiled to me with a feeling of being comfortable to me.
He sat beside me and looked to the lake.
"That song was commonly sang by people born here in planet Earth. Only few Marsian's knows this song." He said to me in a silent voice.
I looked at his neck and see that he has a microchip number on his back. Therefore, he was not human and a Marsian liked me too.
After 30 minutes, Knight finally came for me and picked my things with Teddy.
"I'm too late... I'm sorry..." He apologized on me.
"Lyrids! I missed you!" Teddy jumped on me and hugged my front stomach.
I saw the chinito guy from far away and smiled on him as a sign of saying goodbye. He smiled back. He was still waiting for someone. I didn't ask his name because I know that we won't see each other again.
Knight's house was pretty simple duplex type of house. It was a common big human house.
I looked all over and see a mini air-conditioner and a LED type of television and some antic equipment that doesn't exist at Mars.
Life here was simple and time passed slowly.
I cooked many foods using fire stove and prepared them at the round wooden table.
"Ah it was hard." I said to myself. My time wasted so much. It took me 1 hour.
Knight was already on the table while Teddy was hiding somewhere.
"Where is teddy?" I asked him. He was playing with the cats outside.
I looked at Knight's back neck and saw that he has no microchip identification number. He was truly a human.
"How was your job and your co-workers?" He asked me.
"It was nice. I am enjoying it." I said though I know I am lying. The truth is I am not enjoying my job at Marsian Wired Systems as a tour guide traveler because though I was promoted after 3 months, a few of my co-worker treated me badly but I am still doing my best to be not affected. However, I have group of friends there and tried to still build good relationship to my co-worker who often said negative things on me. I know that she only wants me to learn though blaming me on her faults sometimes irritate me.
"Always do your best." Knight said to me as a way of supporting me.
I smiled at him and feel very thanking to God to have him in my life.
I grabbed my gift to Knight and showed it to him over cake on our table.
"Happy birthday Knight!" I said happily.
"Thank you. What is that?" He get the little black box and opened.
He was surprised because it was the expensive oracle android watch filled with many features.
"I love it... This is too awesome." He said to me.
"Knight's time is very important." I said to him with a smile.
"I love you, Lyrids." He said to me.
After eating, we went to the near church and pray together. It was the Patora Church where Knight was Baptist when he was a baby.
While we are walking on the middle aisle, Knight suddenly knelt down and shown a diamond wedding ring on me. It was a human ring but I liked it.
"Will you marry me, Lyrids?" He asked me seriously.
I was shocked, so I covered my face with happiness.
"I know it was too fast because we already know that we are destined to marry on year 2079 but will you accept it this early time?" He asked me again.
"I will Knight... I will marry you..." I replied with happiness.
Knight was very happy, so he kissed me on my forehead.
We went back to his house and I saw Teddy hiding.
I sit to the wooden sofa and unexpectedly because of too much exhaustion of the day I sleep for 20 minutes.
When I wake, I walked silently at the back of Knight's house. I saw Teddy and him talking.
Knight was sitting at the chair while feeling a little bit sad. Teddy was comforting him by tapping his back.
"You should be happy Knight... Lyrids accepted it and you have more years to be happy together..." He said to him.
I does he mean on him? Why Knight was so sad? He should be happy like me... I returned to the living room and waited on him to go inside the house.
"Knight, I am now going back to Mars..." I said to him with a smile.
"Ah, yes, you should go now. I will go there tomorrow." He responded.
"I will tell my parents, so that they will countersign the approval of our marriage at the Episol Square." I even added.
"Sure... I will prepare what is needed." He replied.
I rode the tube coaster going back the planet Mars.
For 30 minutes, I stare on my diamond ring. It was different.
The hard part before getting married is the approval of my parents. If they won't sign on my marriage registration then I cannot marry him. 7 of my friends should also sign as approval that we both can marry. It is a policy in planet Mars, to ensure marriage has the approval of everyone.
Inside my mind, I think that it was the best day of my life...
I imagined myself wearing a beautiful wedding dress with Knight wherein I stretched my hands wide and wave my gown in a circling motion.
"Haha, I will marry soon..." I said funnily while holding my cheeks.
"Oh, I am insane. It feels like stars were falling in my head." I said to myself.
My cheeks were blushing and I don't chair if anyone noticed me.
If this is a dream then I don't want to wake up.
I was finally at planet Mars, so before going back to our house, I ate my favorite blueberry cheesecake at the Facent Artsy.
"Tasty... Delicious!" I said happily as if it was my first time to eat the cake.
I used escalators and looked happily to all the people. I controlled myself from being too happy. So I just only imagined all of the people dancing.
I entered the speed-o elevator and punched the closed button but then I accidentally touched a man's finger.
"I'm sorry...Hehehe" I said with an insane manner.
I was unaware that it was also the chinito guy at planet Earth. He recognized me or not, I don't care. All I know was I was dreaming happily and was so in loved.
After using the speed-o elevator, all of my happiness stopped.
"Oh, no. Surely, my parents will be shocked and or get angry on me. What should I do now?" I asked myself.
I stopped before the entrance of the tunnel then things in my surroundings became normal.
