54 Confession (1/2)

The surge of fear and worry that overcome her earlier was then flooded with love which was trying hard to come out from her chest.

Inhaling deeply, she slowly opened her mouth to speak.

”….” She did not know where to begin.

Her hands reached out towards his hand and the familiar comfort enveloped her. With him, she felt safe, complete and satisfied. He was her missing puzzle piece. The man who made her feel whole. By his side, she was home.

”Francis, for 25 years, you are the only man that I love. I don't know when it started, but…. I just found myself mesmerized by you. In school, I was always late. But as I slowly walk inside the room and see you my heart beats rapidly in excitement, in anticipation. At first I thought it was all just infatuation. But who would have thought that my heart would only beat for you.” Helen said softly as he held on to his hands gently.

”when you said that you wanted to become a researcher, I wanted to follow you to planet Trace, I wished I could have followed you. But despite the distance, my love never faded not even once….Do you know that I feel like you are my own child, I wanted to protect you from harm, keep you safe and happy. I am sorry if I was not able to accompany you in fulfilling your dreams. But Francis, your happiness is my happiness. There were a lot of times when I wanted to climb on your bed, to seduce you or to simply express my love for you, but I know that I am not the woman in your heart. The only reason why I did not fight for your love was because I wanted you to find your happiness. It was not me, so I remained by your side and will remain by your side. Showering you with all the care and gentleness that I can give.” Helen has so many things to say, the unspoken feelings that she held on for 25 years were simply too many that word were not enough to express all of it. ”I love you.”

When the words ”I love you” entered his ears a strong force emitted from his body shaking the entire continent. He was still asleep but, in his dreams, the memories from when he was 29 years old until he was 35 years old were slowly being recovered.

----Flashback when Helen and Francis where in the meadow in planet Dawn---

”I will keep you safe for the rest of my life.” Francis promised as he held on to Helen's hands. He wanted to say more. He wanted to tell her how he feels. How much he loved her. But he can't. Being held captive by an organization, he was tasked to work for them in exchange for her safety. As the king of research, he was force to find the way to immortality. The type of study which was forbidden by the intergalactic alliance. It was against his morals to study the topic. It was a terrifying and heartless research. But for her….

He looked at her innocent eyes. All the suffering and pain that he felt in planet Trace where all erased by this short chance that he could be with her. In this short vacations, when they would spend their time with each other, with no care about the universe.

[This girl was innocent about how strong my feelings are for her. Do you know, that I am willing to sacrifice the entire universe for your safety? Do you know that whenever I wanted to die from despair, when I am about to break down from sorrow, your memories are what kept me moving? You are my strength.] The strong cold winds from the meadow embraced his heart filled with sorrow. How he wished to make this woman beside him his wife.

Then he remembered what is like in his research laboratory. Knowing Helen, she would be willing to sacrife her life to stop all of the killings. But he would not allow it. She should not know.

The humans developing multiple tumors, their screams, their plea to be released from the torment was his living nightmare in planet Trace. The research about immortality was built on the foundation of the ancient people's knowledge about quantum entanglement.

Entangled codes are codes bounded by quantum entanglement. In each DNA there are more than 100 trillion of entangled codes. These codes can change as one code changes.
