chapter 1

It’s a peaceful day, wind was blowing lightly along with the spring leaves of cherry trees and passing through an

open French window of a mansion in the high colony of the district, landing on the study table. There sat in front none other than our Chiara, totally focused on the screen in front, lost in the dreamland of her story that doesn’t even have the time to change her high school uniform.

Suddenly!

Chiara’s Point Of View_

.

“Ahh!”, I realised that my chair moved, no my whole room!, not a long after I realised it’s an earthquake when I heard my mother’s scream in the yard but before I could move down in the yard something fall on my table from the window, which was shining brightly maybe due to sun rays, I don’t wanna get involved but curiosity kills the cat, and I moved forward and pick up that pebble sized stone and there was an little switch on it looking closed just like an puzzle, I  solved it and when it start transforming into an …mini microscope, it all happened in an friction of second that it startled me, but it doesn’t stop me from looking what’s inside it and so I did, but as soon as I looked, I screamed internally, that scene made my heart sank in the deepness of one of the worst nightmares i could ever have. ‘MOON IS BURNING IN FLAMES!!!’

I thought. but again, my mom shouted from the yard cause of earthquake, without thinking I took my bag, put the device, phone and my diary in it and ran from there to the yard and then to the community park connected from there where many of our neighbors were gathering there, I too went towards my mother’s direction when suddenly another earthquake came, I grabbed my mother’s arm for support but soon she shook it off and I know there’s another punishment waiting afterwards for me for not behaving properly. 🙄

But I ignore and look at the direction where many were arguing… soon I saw a young boy\, a year or two older than me who was trying to talk with them\, when i heard him saying\,  “try to understand\, that device is important please give me that”\, and I could feel he was irritated\, when suddenly other of person present there spoke up\,” boy\, why are you creating a fuss here? Go we don’t have that sh*t device here\, just fu*k off” when suddenly that boy thump his right foot in the ground and another earthquake came. he's the reason of this earthquake! i observed.

This time my mother came forward and said politely,” listen young man, we don’t know what you are talking about. Can you tell us who you are and why and for what you are creating a situation here” and I still wonder now that how her reputation is more important than her own life, but thanks to that, that guy calmed and little and said, ”thank god, finally someone who knows how to talk properly. so, My name is Leonardo, and I know you won’t believe me but I am from future , it’s eighty by eight difference t.d. and there we are in great problem and to solve that we invent an device, an blue color pebble size device and it’s very important and is somewhere here…”, he then look at people who were looking at him like fools 😶😐😑……but wait ……is he talking about that device…? ..then if its real…. Then …moon..? ..and thousands of question starts blowing up my brain. 🤯

But soon another uncle spoke,” ..look boy, you are a grown up now, you should behave as per your age, don’t disturb people just because of that”, when suddenly that boy roared,” millions of billions of lives are at stake at least for your own future believe me what io sono (I am) talking about!?”, he's getting out of control which is somehow convincing me that the matter is really very serious otherwise he won't be shouting like an idiot here.….”I know…where that device.. is”, I suddenly blurted out without thinking of the consequences,…soon I realised what I done, what if it’s a joke? …I will joke back..? but what about mom? M done for, and soon after that ,

People: “they have gone crazy!”

Mom: “Chiara, what nonsense are you talking !?” she said still shouting politely*.

But among all only that guy listen to me and said,” you all go from here and you, come here” he said pointing   towards me, I hesitated but moved while people starts to moving to their places back while cursing, and I bet my mom would too.

Mom: “Chiara I said stop whatever you are doing” 💢

i could feel she's getting irritated But this time,….i try …try to ignore and move forward cause it’s for the Moon and the people,….i can get the punishment if its a prank but if not I can’t be just responsible for their loss I thought as I moved forward and said,” I know where that device is but what proof you have that you are from future? How can I believe you?”, I asked, I could feel my mom burning from inside. he also was irritated after all this drama and said,” Grande! (great), you wanna know, bene, ti porterò lì (fine, I will take you there) how’s that?”, thanks to home tutor’s I know Italian language, …but on the top of that…future ? he can take me there?....can I also help people?.. before I can answer to all my questions my mom argued,” how dare you? How can I let my daughter go with any random boy (what will people think?), and Chiara this is my last warning stop it and go in the house now!”, but…. no, this time….just one  step and I can be free and on the top of that I can save people, I can give meaning to this caged life of mine. who on the earth would miss this opportunity if they can go to the future. the offer is just too tempting. Only if what he said is true.. I thought,” I agree, but …what about my safety?”, I asked to which he replied calmly ,” you will be safe as long as the device is safe, but once you came everyone will forget that a Chiara named girl ever existed , so pensa prima di essere d'accordo (think before you agree)”, he said …but this assured me a little that what he said is true to some extent.

Mom: ”I said enough!, my daughter is not going anywhere, and Chiara don’t you dare!” she warned

i…if i don’t go I will always be like a bird in the crystal cage ..but if I go even it cost my life…I can save a lot of lives , i can give this useless life of mine a meaning. I can’t just for my selfishness ignore that …,”no mom, (she glared) .. I agree ,I wanna go…I wanna know…why moon Is burning in flames….why,…I agree, but believe me if something happens to me your device..” before I could complete he said,” I assure you that, just keep that device safe, now and iamo (let’s go)”, he said extending his hand which I hesitated but take it despite of my mother’s efforts to cage me, he pulls me towards him and wrap his hands around my waist and jump towards sky ,

Mom: “Chiaraa!!!”

And that was the last thing I heard from my mother before a sharp white light appeared and when I opened my eyes, “wow!”, ….there were stars running at fast pace,…I was in Galaxy !!! I was so lost when suddenly,” Ahm Ahm, you won’t fall from here so..” he said looking at other side and only then I realised that I was holding him tightly, I was beyond embarrassed but still I hesitantly released him ensuring that I won’t fall or float, and then the conversation as follows:

Leo (Leonardo): ..we will reach in half an hour.. (why did I bring her along ? I could have simply taken that device, sigh I should really take a nice sleep so as to control my irritating temper I think)

after few moments of silence

.

.

Chiara: ..um..hey, can you tell me what’s happening with me..? why I am feeling weird inside me? ( I asked as I

felt the little weakness and rush flow of blood inside me)

Leo: we are going to eighty year in the future but system has set it as eight year, so your body is going to grow in half an hour which you would have grown in eight years, in short you are being transformed into you of after eight years, you of twenty four years. (he explained as he now thought that because of his stupidity now another life

is going to see that hell, and another responsibility is there, but somehow he wasn’t feeling it as any burden.. not understanding why.?)

Chiara: oh…but how do you know that I’m 16?

Leo: by advanced calculations (of course i won't be a fool to just bring any person with me without knowing anything about him or her but why am I enjoying her company instead of worrying about what will happen in there?! i really need a rest. i am taking decisions like a fool now.)

Chiara: are the calculations that advanced in the future that you can tell the age just by looking?

Leo: perché (because) I am wearing my AI lens

Chiara: oh...I see… (Just like an AI computer I think  ... um...)... Agh!

Leo: what happens to you!?

Chiara: um.. nothing.. it’s .. it’s (how can I say this…I am too embarrassed already..)

Leo: che cosa (what) ‘just’?

Chiara: um… (now what do I do..? it’s already hurting there and he is asking like that..)

Leo: can you tell clearly??(annoyed and worried cause he can’t see anyone hurt cause of him without any reason. he has already brought her along in the moment of heat. it was his fault no her after all who wouldn't be tempted if they are offered to see the future. now it's his responsibility to taker care of this kiddo here although she seems less troublesome than the one at home.)

Chiara: can’t you see by your AI lens???, my body is growing so my clothes are getting tight near my chest!!!!!!You dumb *** (while blushing hardly I somehow blurted out and soon after hearing what I said a blush creeps up to his and mine cheeks)

Leo: (Oh sh*t how can I forget this……when a girl grows she got some fat over at that place….. )… ahmm

.. i-I will arrange new cloths for you once we arrive there…  (and start looking on his smart watch… )

Chiara: (after a long awkward silence I finally spoke) ehm… so Leonardo, right?

Leo: (can’t believe she still have so much to ask from a stranger never mind) ..yea (while working on his watch)

Chiara: so what’s happening in the future now? Is it so serious, I mean why am I seeing the moon in flames?(I finally asked the most wanted question i want to ask. up until now I have got some faith on him in just a few minutes cause of his seriousness and my heart says that he is not a bad person so no harm in being a little frank with him)

Leo: (while typing on the holographic keypad he said) well, some evil scientists for their personal gains, tried an experiment on moon to gather its energy and attaching its surface with the earth,  but government refused so they tried on their own and due to a slight mistake in their experiment the large amount of energy from sun released on moon along with a chemical gas ,which is affecting the day and time duration of earth and lives of people are greatly affected due to this . if it get closer to earth people will die due to its strong aura so we set a large bomb plate on  moon  and the device you are carrying is its remote which will ultimately alarm you when you need to press it. (although it's dangerous to tell this but she seems like a little mice so no harm)

Chiara: what? are you saying the truth ? (I mean c’mon it only happen in fiction movies, but until now he did

all the things properly without even harming me…so I have trust him)

Leo: sta a te se ci vuoi credere o no (it’s up to you whether you wanna believe it or not)(he replied fully concentrated on his work)

Chiara: ..(I will believe for now) well you also seems to be as same age as mine, so where are you from?

Leo: “why you wanna know?”

Chiara: just curious (because he can speak Italian so fluently so he might be from there )

Leo: I closed the system as I turned to her as it's almost time t- …froze, In front of me, standing an goddess, the most beautiful one I have ever seen, her long legs in those tight black stockings and that thin waist complimenting those ample size breasts which were ready to jump out from the tight white shirt, slender neck and not to mention that face with blue eyes which were reflecting that rare innocence with a little mole on the right side and plumy lips and for the perfect final touch up, those long hair reaching below her waist……this whole scene took my breath away, I was struck in awe

Chiara: why he’s staring like that…”umm, Leonardo?”, and again no response,” Leonardo?”, I again asked with

slightly risen voice but again, no response, “Leo!?” finally he snap out and what he said next made my heart beat like crazy!

Leo:  I snap out as she called my nickname and for the first time in my life I had the urge to grab her and do all those things and cherish her but why? But before all that I need to reply her and soon I blurted out,” why you wanna know? I heard that the girls are only curious about those on whom they have crush on? By any chance have you fallen for me?” I blurted which turned out to be a tease and Oh mio Signore! (oh my lord ), this girl ,doesn’t she know if she shows these type of reaction in front of other men then she would be in danger?, her whole face was red as tomato and she blink two times before she replied.

Chiara: “h-huh, w-who would fall for you!!?” I replied I can’t believe what I just heard, is he like this in reality ? did I made the wrong decision ? ..but soon my doubt was turned out to be nothing but wrong when he throw his jacket on my face and said while turning his head to other side.

Leo: “wear this or your figure will be seen by others”

Chiara: “uhm…ok”, I replied as I blushed again not because of him but because I was so embarrassed , If I would have known that I would grow like this I would have worn something ….even my boobs want to come out from this tight shirt, this was not enough that the upper button got broken. As I wore the jacket, he ask me to grab his hand, which I gladly did and again that strong white light appear and the next moment I open my eyes I was like
