PAST OF THE PAST

Only for me to open my eyes once again and surprisingly I found myself in the same clinic in which I admitted Andrew, because of which I tried to just look at him because he was in another room of the clinic

Doctor is Andrew alright ?", I asked doctor

" I found you outside my clinic and hence I just took you inside because you were unconscious ", doctor replied me

" That's all right but please tell me is Andrew alright ?", I again asked him

" Who is Andrew ?", he questioned me

He is my friend whom I admitted here, and he had his operation as well", I told him

" What are you talking about I just really can't understand ? ", doctor again asked me

" what's wrong with your doctor it's just last evening when you operated him how could you forget him ? ", I shouted on him

But before he could say anything suddenly I came across the calendar which was hanging on the wall of the clinic which gave me a kind of shock

And without wasting even a single second I just went near the calendar only to stumble upon fact that the calendar which is hanging on the wall of the clinic is of 1987

And as soon as I turned back to my surprise the room in which I was unconscious and came to senses was filled with doctors and nurses, and they all were looking at me as I am an alien

Will anyone please tell me what's going on here ? ", I shouted on them taking out phone from my pocket

" or else I will call the police right now", I completed while typing on my phone

But before I could do anything further suddenly all of them started shouting as if it's not a mobile phone but any kind of bomb or something hazardous and hearing the shout there appeared an old man who just asked everyone to get out of the room

What's going on here and why everyone is behaving so oddly and why is this calendar of year 1987 hanging here on the wall and I am really unable to understand anything because it's... ", but before I could complete my sentence he intervened, because it's 1987"

" And you are in past as you have come here all the way from 2019", he told me

" What the hell are you speaking about I just really can't understand as I am going nuts with whatever is happening from last few weeks with me", I told him

" You are here for a purpose", he told me

" What purpose and I just really can't get what are you speaking about ", I asked him once again

And as soon as I completed my sentence suddenly I saw the calendar once again and in the calendar I saw the photo of Andrew

"How is he here ? , I mean why his photo is printed on the calendar ", I asked the doctor as I was really unable to understand the language which was written on the calendar

" He is sir Thomas Andrew, who is recipient of Queens cross as he saved 30 soldiers on the battlefield a week ago and that's why today he is going to be given a Queens cross by the queen herself and that's why his photo is printed on the calendar as hero of the month", he told me everything

Unable to understand anything I just took seat on the bed and after a while I ended up asking him, where am I ?",

" You are in green patch City ", he told me

" But which country is this ?", I again asked him

" This is Scovania and the language which you are seeing on the calendar is scovanian language", he told me everything

" I want to get out of here help me because you are the only person I think who can understand me as well as my situation and can help me out for sure", I asked him in order to help me out

" But by the way how do you know that I have come all the way here from 2019", I again asked him out of curiosity

Replying to which he just showed me a book and when I opened it to my shock I came to know that it's my very own diary which I lost in future which is in year 2019 when I went on alone trip just few months back before participating in the competition

How do you get this diary ?", I asked him

" You will come to know everything with passing time but first you have to come with me on the occasion which is going to take place this evening which is sir Thomas Andrew's award ceremony

"I have also been invited in the ceremony because I am one of the best psychiatrists of this country right now so if you won't mind then you can join me in the ceremony", he told me

" As far as if I will be getting the answer of my questions and the way to get out of here I am ready to come with you anywhere", I told him

And soon after that he took me to his house where an old lady who was most probably his wife gave me some clothes of that time to wear and soon after that I along with him reached on the ceremony location where it was about to take place which was on the outskirts of the town where it was Queen's Palace

And as soon as we reached the local media started interviewing that old man with whom I went there for attending the ceremony which kind of amazed me

" Doctor Gilbert how are you feeling to be the special guest of the ceremony", one of the media persons asked him

" Well I am very much honoured as Queen herself called me to attend this ceremony and also gave me the status of being the special guest", he answered

And soon after that replying to few other questions of media persons he went inside along with me

" vah vah vah , I really didn't know that you are so much famous as Queen herself called you for this special award ceremony of your sir Thomas Andrew", I exclaimed with amazement

" How did you do that ?, even I also want to learn that", he asked me with amazement

" Well I will surely teach you but not now because we are in the amidst of a ceremony", I told him humbly denying his request

Sure and I would love to learn that", he told me

While our conversation was still going on we have reached in the ceremony, and he just made me sit on one of the chairs by putting it back like a gentleman and then taking his seat after that right in front of me and soon the ceremony began

Where Queen started awarding the soldiers who have fought bravely in the battle

But as usual I was again about to get the surprise because the last but not the least in the queue was sir Thomas Andrew about whom Gilbert was talking about

And as he appeared on the stage I felt like I am seeing my Andrew right in front of my eyes and in that uniform of army he was looking even more attractive and charming

But that happiness didn't last too long because soon after he got his award suddenly a bomb blast took place on the stage itself where he along with the Queen was standing and in a matter of few seconds it was like I came out of a dream

"Andrew", I shouted and started running towards the stage only to be held by Gilbert

" Stop and don't go there ", and as soon as he completed his sentence suddenly few ambulances came there who took the body of Andrew along with queen

And he also checked the body after that and informed me," They both are alright as their nerves are still working so don't worry about them", he told me

And soon after that we both went to the clinic again where he was admitted along with the Queen herself

And there I came to know that he is in a very critical condition as I just stood near his bed and suddenly he opened his eyes and asked me to come near him

" I need some water can you please help me, he slowly uttered in my ears when I went near his mouth to hear what exactly he is trying to speak

And as soon as I got what he exactly wants I ended up bringing a jug of water and pouring the water in one of the glass I told him to get up in order to drink it

" Please get up so that you can have water ", I asked him

" I can't because I am... ", but before he could complete his sentence he suddenly collapsed to unconsciousness

" Gilbert, just look what happened to him please", I shouted and called Gilbert who was in the room where Queen was admitted

" Don't worry he is perfectly alright it's just that he has fallen unconscious due to unbearable pain", he commented while checking the condition of Andrew

And it took almost one month for Andrew to again stand on his feet as he was brutally injured and critically hampered due to the attack and after that we just started meeting each other as friends because during that period of one month I just helped him a lot since I took care of him day and night

But still I was confused to really understand what was exactly happening to me because other things were getting more and more complicated with each and every passing days

To which one day I ended up asking Gilbert of what exactly was happening to me to which he replied me with a smile on his face

" Sweety, you will come to know everything when the correct time will come till then just enjoy your life and company with Andrew", he replied me calmly

The days kept on passing and completed almost three years in the past as now it was year 1990 and same was the condition of my relationship with Andrew as from last 3 years we have been in relationship

But one day something strange happened which Amaze as was shocked me because I was not at all ready for whatever was about to happen that day

It was almost six in the evening when I went out with Mrs Gilbert to just take a walk in the garden which was nearby her house

And after taking walk of around a couple of hours when we were about to come back suddenly a vehicle blocked our path and before both of us could understand anything a masked man came out of it and pulled me inside it as if he was kidnapping me

The very next moment when I opened my eyes to my surprise I was in a pitch dark room with just rays of light emerging from the shattered window and as soon as I opened my eyes suddenly someone entered inside the room in which I was kept
