A short story

January 2020

I was reporting at Washington state department of health, with my camera on, the reporters were rushing to know the news of corona virus was spread from Wuhan, china. the debates were going on china, if that was a political move to down fall the other country's growth? I was also thinking of it too. that's why I was there to collect unanswered questions from the medical and political team.

I got news that the political team was going to meet the medical team and they will going to announce our first ever confirmation of Covid-19 patient. 

I was in middle of to got the fame from reporting, I was trying to get more money to pay my mother's debt. just then the political team leader came and knock on mic to grab the attention of reporters. he was standing on higher stage then us, so we can click his handsome face's picture while he gave his boring speech.

laddie's and gentlemen,

I am here with bad news for you, but don't worry much, it's a general news that our medical team has found some symptoms in one of our common people. but there's no worry at ALL. here I am requesting people to follow some instructions for few more days.

he continued with his long speech about some rules that people have to follow during some of months. my hands were becoming heavy from holding it for long time. my empty hand went to mouth to catch the yawn that was about escape from my mouth. 

the speech ended and I got my camera with me. I tried to rewind the footage but nothing! I tried several time more, nothing! nothing! nothing! HR is going to kill me when he will know that I didn't record anything on this shittiest camera he did gave to me.

I was on my way, walking to streets and worried about the footage. my eyes were down on the camera, when I impinge to hard thing. when I look at the thing, it was a girl!

I was impinge with a girl?

she was just beautiful but weird,  curved figure, big eyes, small nose, small pink lips and defined jaw, like an alien? she was looking at me with his big doe eyes. she came to me, streching his hand to me, she led her finger to my forehead, as she tilted his on his left, I tilted my head to right, in a blink of an eye her head was tilted in my right. I stepped back from her and ran. but soon after she came and ran besides me,  she took a leap and stand in front of me, I had to break my legs with the friction of the concrete.without any word she gave me a pen drive. but that pen drive was weird, it has some kind of mark and in weird language.

I took that pen drive and insert it in my camera! the scene I saw were shocking. it was the footage that I missed while the leader spoke.  I was happy, happy beyond this universe, I thanked her and then left.

I was wallking to my office the 'the news' in which I'm working. I turn to main street of building. I was so happy that I didn't realise that someone's following me. being a reporter, I always feared of the people who has been victims of my recordings. a spark of shiver passed through my body, dare to look back and figure out who it was is difficult thing to do in a life, but I accept the dare and turn.

instead of some creepy human, there was a girl, A previous one standing there and looking straight into my eyes. we stare at each other for couple of seconds when she came to me. touching my little finger she turn her eyes, I followed her gaze and shocked!

there was a screen with some video was playing. I tried to focus. sirens of police were going and there she was on some kind of plate, in air. 

what? what I am seeing going to make me mad!she was running to police? why? I asked mentally. 

next thing I saw, two policeman's speaking to each other,

"I'm on my way sir"

"yes, we will surely catch that spy" they spoke one by one.

"they think you are a spy?" I asked her. she nod and turn her head to the screen.

there was some kind of meeting but the place was creepy, made with wood but it so much looked like an branches of trees neatly arranged in raw. there were people seated in rectengular. there were cups, floating on the table. she was seating on right side of the leader. they were speaking different languages, and their clothes were different too, like an old king and queen type but they are classy compare to the old generation. she was nodding and speaking something in that language.

after she closed her screen which was connected to her palm. she turned to me,

"where you are came from?" I asked and she turned on her screen again and there was planet like us, but it was full of greenery. no pollution, no plastic, nothing. she closed it after so I assumed that she was talking me through the screen.

then she gave me a paper, it said,

help me and come with me to explore the world.

I was debating with myself whether to go or not. basically she was an alien and I'm human. what she got in me? putting my inner thoughts aside, I nod to her to say her, 

"yes, I'll come"

she tightly clutch my hand and closed her eyes. she opened one of her eyes and glanced to me, indicating that I should close my eyes as well. I closed my eyes, after a second when I opened my eyes, we were in hospital, where people coughing, sneezing and burning with fear.

small shock passed through my body. we were in Wuhan, china the most infected city with covid-19 cases. I turned to her side, but she was gone. my eyes were searching for her in this surrounding, there she was  typing something on her invisible screen going patient to patient. she gestured me to follow her, and I did. I felt like a lost puppy who's following some one to led him to his house.

she went outside, she was checking doctors, no no! she was scanning doctors. after checking for all of them she came to me, held my hand and closed her eyes. I did same.

the next place was some research centre and it was showing the news of ozon layer of healing. she started to type, while I was observing the surroundings. after taking report she turned to me and handed me a paper and interwind our hands and closed her eyes, I followed her. the next moment I was in the same street where we meet with piece of paper.

dear,

I am she. I was here to report about the earth to our chief and don't panic. I am one of the guards who take care of earth. 

keep this a secret and thank for coming with me.

what? my head was spinning and I screamed. the next moment I was heavily panting seeing such kind of dream, with that paper.

means that was not entire dream. it was reality, my she's reality. my earth's reality.
