The unbreakable 2

His great red iris pieced into the darkness of the room.  Staring into the mirror, he found a man with an extremely pale face and a pair of disturbingly red irises staring back at him.  He had not changed a bit in the last 60 years.

"Do you really think we would have a future together?"said his then girlfriend, staring into his brown eyes, directly into his soul.  He is Asian and she is a caucasian.

"Yes, we do," he replied with pure enthusiasm."And I love you."

And so, they kissed.  5 years later, they got hitched.

Kids, he thought, shaking his head. Is it really wise to go see her again, possibly one last time ? I don't know. I might miss the only chance I have if I keep procrastinating like this.  Finally, he made up his mind.

Sitting in the room where his wife is sleeping and the room that once shared with her, he seemed contented watching her sleeping.

A lady whose face had been graced by wrinkles is resting on her bed, clueless about him who had been watching her.  She was still pretty even at this age.  Then, she woke up unexpectedly, sending him camouflaging in the dark.  She switched on her bedside lamp, reached for the photo on the table and stared at it with melancholy.

"Zasphery, I missed you so much even after all these years, why can't I move on?" she said.

"You don't have to, Helen." said Zasphery, moving out from the darkness.

This frightened Helen a little, she did not expect a reply.  Gradually, a figure emerged through the darkness and there she found a 169cm tall, asian male with extraordinary looks but with a familiar face looking down at her.  She gasped, couldn't believe her eyes.  Her husband had not changed a bit even after 60 years.  He is still as youthful as she could remember.

"Z-z-z-as!!! You couldn't possibl-l-y b-be here!"exclaimed Helen and they hugged.

He had been waiting for this moment all this while.  Suddenly, he felt that he was on top of the world.  Words couldn't explain, he thought.  Tears of pure joy streamed down, no words were exchanged, they were just 'in' the moment.

Suddenly, she pulled away from him.  " Wait, is this just a dream? wh-what are you? aa-a ghost?"

"It's a long story."

"Please leave now, my husband is going to pop in any minute."

"Wait, husband?"

Before she spoke, he gradually vanished into the darkness and left.  "WAIT!" She turned on the lights hastily to look for him but he wasn't found.
