Still everything was the same, tomorrow is my birthday and I wish John was here to spent time with me. But I know it is not possible and I don't blame him as saving lives was more important. Yesterday I did not receive any call from him and knew that he was too tired maybe. But today it is already past his lunch break why he didn't call me? Everyday he would either text her or call her in his break time, he said he felt energies when he talk to her.
I kept calling him... Ring... Ring... Ring
Nobody was answering. Suddenly the house phone was ringing and John's mom picked up the phone. I didn't bother and keep calling John's phone. My whole concentration was on my phone. Thud.. John's mother collapsed on the floor. Then papa john answered the phone, he also went in a daze after hearing someone on the phone. I quickly went inside the living room from the balcony, leaving my phone, helped John's mom to sit in the couch while she was screaming and crying continuously. I went up to John's father, he couldn't look into in my eyes. His eyes were full of pain and disbelief. I took the phone from his hand and said, "Hello, who is this?"
"Hello mam, this is from X hospital, we are sorry to inform that Mr. John Mraniski was affected by Covid-19 and is not anymore."
..... I was shell shocked. I did not know what to say.
I just kept the phone and went to John's room.
'No.. Impossible.. Never... John cannot do this to me. He is not a liar.' I screamed and yelled.
"No..." I could not stop crying. 'My John, he cannot do this to me he cannot go like this.'
Wind was blowing from the window and suddenly a pages were turned but the force of the wind. I was staggering but still I don't know why I went to see. It was John's diary. I never knew John used to write diary. I started reading the diary, it started the day he saw, every word , every sentence was about me. How he has fallen in love in first sight.. How he gather his courage to talk to me.. My likes, my dislikes, my favorite food, my favorite place.
Reading the diary, I had this pain in my heart that I was indescribable, my heart was wrenched in pain it feels like an arrow was being pierced heart, tears kept rolling down I didn't knew he loved me so much... much more than I did. In the last page of diaries he wrote..
"I know I am hiding from Anna. But I hope she will like my surprise. I know Anna will love it when I will her our tickets to Paris and I will propose her over there on her birthday. I have been planning this from a long time. Soon Anna will be my bride and then I will let the world know that Anna is mine... Only Mine."
I just didn't had words my pain increased, I screamed and was bawling, I took a pen and wrote in his diary beside his words "John I love you... I will always be yours and yours. Nobody can take us apart not even death. Love as no barriers. So what if you can't to me I will go wherever you go."
Anna dropped onto the floor, holding onto John's diary, She took out bottle of sleeping pills on my hand and ate as much as I can. Slowly her eyelids became heavy and her breathing became disorderly and she took her last breath. Both their bodies were buried together.
When they were being buried, it was raining very hard as if the sky was also crying. Soon a bright light was seen focusing on both of them and then it went to two different places. One went to Michigan and another went to LA. In both the houses that light went, new babies were being born. The families were delighted as in such critical times the babies were born safely and were celebrating while without there notice the light fall on the babies. The respective parents kept their child's name Anna and John... A new love story begin as Anna and John were born again to complete their incomplete love story, their love story.
