"So you're writing all this in this story? What kind of a romcom is this where there's no male protagonist, just the female one with un earthly magic powers creating a hole in the continuum of space and time? If you're writing fantasy... Tell me, I will arrange the covers according to that…" Ankur let out a deep sigh. Well he was right, I did say I wanted write a romcom but wasn't getting any idea about the male lead.
"Well it surely isn't fantasy… We went through all this a while back, remember?"
"So, you're writing a diary by changing your gender? I didn't know you had such weird kinks in you Akash… stay away… oww... Don't kick me like that it hurts... "
So after we lost all our powers because of my foolishness, the God(My dad) who made(digitally) this universe and many more, came in out of nowhere… It's been billions of years; I haven't seen him… I wonder if he's still that shady little dude… I saw two young ladies walking beside him, clinging to both of his forearms…... Nope he's still that pervert…
"Hey married old guy stop clinging on to young kids.. Will you?! "
"Huuhhh… well well well who other than my little innocent Akashreva… Here come here… ladies can you please move aside for a moment?" Those young girls moved aside and turned into inhumanly creatures… Well, I can't describe them but they seemed like death itself so yeah… He hugged me and my brother so hard that we almost died even though it was practically impossible. He stretched one of his hand backward and grabbed a thin paper out of nowhere. Stop showing off your avra ka davra old man…
"Uhhhmmm.. UUhmmm.. So Akashreva and Ankereva… "
"DON'T CALL ME THAT…! "Me and Ankur said in unison.
"Well, my loving and foolish sons you have committed grave sin of destroying our budding… "
"CUT OUT THAT GOD LIKE LANGUAGE...! "We were in unison again.
"Well then listen here you little pieces of shits… you guys were given the assignment to look over this universe and this planet and to let the humans I sent into this planet to live a comfortable life for at least 15.6 billion years…"
"Well, we did it for 13 billion years… "
"And how many times have you destroyed it?"
After a long thought Ankur came with an answer.
"More than 11000 times"
"Why are saying that so proudly? You idiot! See I know you guys must be fed up of your lives and don't wanna continue living but believe me it's the place you can spend your eternity… it's hell in home right now… "
"Did Ranc lost his mind again?" I asked with a carefree voice. To be honest I didn't even remember a glimpse of what my home looked like, to care about it? Naah I have better things to do than that…
"Nope it's the black matter… it's spreading all around the multiverse… "
"So that black thing we saw… "
"Yup that's it"
So, there was something even powerful than this old man?! Well, I guess I have yet to see many more idiotically menacing beings…
"So, what do you want to do with this half-broken planet now? As I can see standing here… we can clearly see the space through that side… there's nothing left in this planet… "Ankur said rather coldly.
"Well…only thing to do is you two blockheads reverse the time, go to the exact time when you blasted it and stop time… and do whatever you want… but the black matter won't hold for more than 30 seconds… "
Are you seriously saying this old man? You want us to run around the world collecting living things? I wanted lash out at him but Ankur did it anyway.
"Do you even care about the humans? They were once immortals too, weren't they? You pushed them off the map and forced them to become mortals becoming monekys? Are you serious man? Since they had their instinctive regenerative genes, they became humans which is us but mortals… well I get it as an immortal that you didn't want all of them to suffer but did you wanted them to live peacefully… not fighting like in our world or the real world….. Did you succeed? No? You know we have violent instinctive in our genes from birth… well we don't even know where we came from? Why don't we die? Without knowing these things, you decided yourself to create this universe? Ohh what am I saying? You made 10 different universes and who knows how many dimensions?... "
Damn bro, I didn't know you can talk such sense! Well pedos are intelligent too in their own ways I guess! And wait how does he remember such things? I don't even remember anything before the Cretaceous era… Well, he forgot about the dinosaurs and other animals in his speech but okay… I guess...
After a long discontented look dad slowly started walking back impetuously. That bastard… catch him someone…
He stopped on his tracks for some reason. When I inquired, I saw a woman completely dressed in black came out of nowhere. Mom? So the whole nuisance family is here… Noiceee…
"Where do you think you're going?" mom asked dad. Dad flinched. He looked towards us, we looked away. Well no one wanted to mess with mom…
"I... I was j-just teaching them a l-lesson da-darling! What brings you here?!" Dad was sweating like he committed a crime, well I don't believe this man…
"I am here to take my kids back home… "
Home? What do you mean mom? We were here for 13 billion years, why sudden love?... Huh what's this sound?
AKAASHHH… AKASHHH… IT'S TIME TO WAKE UP... It was mom calling me… Mom you know I am right in front of you… why are you shouting?! The voice grew louder and louder… and then I lost consciousness… My eyes opened and I saw a white ceiling… Where am I now? Both my legs felt heavy…My body felt like it was inside an oven, it was burning up and the pain was immeasurable… What's this? I started freaking out and suddenly saw mom... Mom? Why was she here? Wait is this a hospital bed? Wait... Was that a dream I just saw? It surely was! Because I am not an immortal nor is Ankur… and when did he become my brother? What the fuck was that dream about? And about my parents my mom and dad were divorced for 8 years now… They immortal? You kidding me? I tried to move bit but couldn't, it was too painful... Then Ankur talked out of nowhere…
"Dude… you finally woke up? It's been 4 years… "Mom slapped him from behind. Really? 4 years?
"He's just kidding… it's only been 4 months... "
Only? 4 months isn't only by any means... They both burst out laughing.
"Dude you just went with Shreya and when you guys were walking, I saw you just fall down suddenly, then you have been unconscious the whole time until now… You weren't in coma even, doctors said you were in a deep sleep… it took you 14 hours to wake up"
14 hours haaa...? But why did it feel so real? Because it was real...
" Hey guys atleast pretend that you are humans.. No? Which human laughs when a member of their family returns from death?... "I shrugged, trying to get up but couldn't… Why?
"Hey stop moving you were almost killed you know?"
Almost killed huh? Good joke! I wish I was but I can't and I get it with the billions of years I have spent here... Ankur took me here with him when we were kids… Well, we already were a couple thousand years old, how were we born? That's a secret the immortals keep as they say… So I wasn't sure if they had sex to have me or used some kind of cosmic magic or something to make me… Ankur seemed like he knew something but he always ignored the question… Well not that I care… We had no particular body shapes… You might call us Cthulhu or something like that… Well to be honest we weren't even closer to a Cthulhu… According to Ankur We were two times bigger than the Cthulhu humans can imagine of… We stayed hidden until the humans started evolving.. Coming out to meet them but they got scared of us because of our size and died of utter fear and shock… Well it was our fault… We transformed somehow but the myth remained that those monsters were real… Well everyone who knew about us died… so no proofs.. We didn't kill them obviously, you can believe me! Well there were these anti universe groups whom wanted to destroy this and other universes which dad designed for our people… but something or someone or I don't know what to call them… they were much more powerful than us each time they fought us to destroy the earth as well as humans or earth you may say… We didn't know where they came from or what they really wanted but we managed to somehow defend the earth until now… where I destroyed it myself.. And why was I here?
"You can't believe you could have died right? Well, it's most probably true we can't die but we don't know them yet... Those powerful beings whom wanna dominate us… They were the ones who used the black matter to entice you to cause that destruction… "
"How are we in a hospital bed, when you came to pick us home?" I asked mom.
"Well I don't know myself… We all teleported to the time just after the explosion and everything was fine… I don't know what happened but.. "
".. But?"
"Do you remember anything that happened when you started walking towards the direction of that girl?"
"No I have no recollects of doing anything like that… the last thing I remember is that you guys were there… " Damn this pain… I had never felt so much pain in my billions of years of life or so I remember…
"It's unusual for you to feel so much pain did your dad something to you guys?"
"Yup he took away all our powers... "we said in unison again.
"DAMNIT YOU KIDS… SAYING BAD THINGS ABOUT YOUR FATHER IN FRO... N... T... OO... FF... YOUR MO…"
Mom gave him a look and his running mouth got shut immediately… was it some magic? … Nope it's surely just mom...
"So, can you give us our powers back? We can't fight those monsters without them you know?"
"Do you even know what your 0.000005% power can do if you use it properly?"
"DON'T KNOW "we were in unison again. Dude it's getting irritating now… stop saying the same thing...
"I don't have time to teach to you, billions of years old kids who don't know a thing about your powers and use it on a whim… "
Whose fault was it huh? You guys abandoned us in this planet for years… I wanted say somethings but decided against it…
"So you guys can't help us? Then you better leave… Do you know how much Akash has struggled in these years? Whomever he started to love they all died one by one… Do you know what we both went through to hide our identities and just using one face and body for all these years? We changed names… Thousands of name we used, and used the same name many times mistakenly almost getting executed… well we couldn't die that's another thing… But why didn't you ever… EVERRRR… Asked us to how the fuck are living our fucking livesss..? DID YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH WE MISSED YOU? DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO FORGET ABOUT YOUR PARENTS? HOW IT FEELS TO BE ABANDONED...?"
"Yes we know… we were abandoned too…for billions of years to look after one of the ten universes but we failed too… and no one came to help us… "
I wasn't following a single thing that was going on… it sounded to me like 'who suffered the most competition'. But wasn't it normal to be suffering alone with such long lives and powers? Well the movies and novels said so… And we were live examples… I didn't know what exactly was our mission but it obviously wasn't fighting with each other… and more importantly…
"What if someone hears us?" I asked the most important question. To that mom and dad laughed creepily. Yeah, I know you guys are immortal monsters but at least behave like humans when you are here…
"We stopped the time dude… you just rest there… you might not get killed but it does hurt like hell… "father said with a brimming smile.
Well, I would love it if I knew the reason 'how was I hurt'? Not that it matters… first I wanna eat something...When I was going to ask if there was any food? A loud thud came from outside the door… and there she was…
I looked at dad with disgust… DIDN'T YOU STOP THE TIME OLD MAN… WHAT DOES THIS MEAN… ?
