The Key To My Heart

Chapter 9 (Last Chapter)

This was all real. I was Evan. I got into an accident… and… dad changed my name so I won’t remember who I was and who I used to love… he took me to Connecticut where I studied and grew up to be Jonathan instead of Evan.
I wake up. The old man sitting peacefully, meditating and smiling. I touch my neck and feel the key. Did she really die? Numb, I walk up to the tree, I hug the tree. So tightly that my shirt started to shred to pieces. I shout so loud that the birds from the tree fly away. I notice a heart shape carved deeply underneath my chin on to the tree. I grab my locket and plug in the key. ‘Linda, I’m sorry I couldn’t unlock the key to your heart …sooner.’ I just stand there and then…I start to walk away back to my car. I had false hope. Stupid Golden tree. It’s a lie. It always was.
That’s when the tree starts to shine so bright, blinding my eyes. The old man taps me on the back, wishes me good luck and walks away.
‘Hey, old man! Wait. What’s happening??’ I run back towards the tree.
The trees, the animals, the flowers, the sky, the sun, the moon, the miracle is happening. I close my eyes due to the harsh rays of the light. I force my eye lids to open and I discover Linda lying on the place where her grave was. The power of love was so strong that it brought her back to me.  Her beautiful golden strings tied into a pony tail, her purple eyes so deep and hollow and her skin so soft that I would always melt into it whenever I used to touch it. Her breath-taking rose scent would always make me faint and the beautiful pink dress and those neatly polished baby pink nails. Her clumsiness was her quality which also attracted me towards her.  Am I dreaming? No way. Wake up. I pinch myself and end falling over Linda. Just then she opens her eyes and our eyes meet. She caresses my cheeks and tears well in both of our eyes
‘Wait… why can’t I touch you?’
 ‘The power of love was so strong that the golden tree brought us together, not physically, but me in the form of a spirit’ I can’t believe what I’m hearing. I never thought I could ever see you again.
‘Linda… I’m so sorry …’
‘I told you not be sorry’ she warmly replies.
We both cry in each others arms. Turns out I was wrong. I came to the golden tree to pray to it. It’s been ten years since I lost my memories and I prayed to god for me to get them back. And the golden tree… helped me bring them back along with the person I loved. Although I can’t be with her physically but that’s what she used to say, ‘Our strong bondage doesn’t need for us to talk to each other every day; we don’t need togetherness, as long as the relationship lives in the heart, our love will never break apart’
‘Hey, Evan do u still has the key to my heart?’
‘I never took it off you know, even after I lost my memories… I still had fuzzy memories about it and I thought it was precious to me and so I never took it off.’
We both smile at as we both reminisce upon the memories we both made.
‘I still have the key to your heart’ I whisper in her ear causing her to shriek.
‘Then why not unlock it’
And then her heart is unlocked under the golden tree.
Everyone hated her because they thought how could the clumsy one be special? Turns out, she was fulfilling the desires of everybody. She was the golden tree.

The hated one became the one, loving everyone. 
The End.

Chapter 7 The doctor leaves Evan numb and shocked. He falls down on his knees and cries for hours and hours. Regaining his courage, he stands up and walks into Linda’s room. ‘Hey’ ‘Hey’ Linda offers a smile and Evan smiles back ‘We have to talk Linda. I was just messing around with you. I and my friends planned on pranking you.’ ‘Ok…’ Linda lightly laughs while twiddling her fingers recklessly. ‘What do you mean?’ ‘All this I love you, you love me, we love the whole world nonsense   was fake. Everyone hates you and besides, why would I even like a girl who can’t walk anymore for the rest of her life. So let’s end it here. I laughed, my friends laughed. We are happy. No one cares about you. Who did? Your parents suffered because you came to this world with your stupid powers, they were kicked out of the village because of you. Everyone hated them because of you, why would anyone like you after what you did. You shouldn’t have come to this world. I never should have met...

It all started with a beautiful morning. The sun shinning brightly through the muffled clouds; the orange trees laced with sunlight, the birds chirping a humble tone, the air heavy but gentle at the same time and the wind politely crashed onto my face like a wave out of the ocean.   It was a Friday and my 970th day at the foster home.   Why I was there is probably what you’re thinking, right? Or why am I using past tense? Am I dead? Or am I about to die? Or did I write this manuscript and then I died? Or am I still alive? You will sooner or later find out. Either one. So the foster home was it? Well I was not like all the others. I was kind of unique, or different or exceptional or special or anything else which you think is the opposite of normal. Stuttering is a speaking disorder which isn’t a big deal for some people but for me it was. You see, my family abandoned me when I was five when they found out about the stuttering.   It was a wintry and cold and humid...

Chapter 4 ‘I’ll get married. Yes! Oh god, I should start preparing for my marriage, cook the food, the decorations, my dress, oh my there is so much to do.’ Suddenly she trips and falls down. ‘I forgot the most important thing. I have to find the man of my dreams first shouldn’t i? Oh god, who will marry a piece of trash like me?’ Linda murmurs as she stands up and brushes away the dust on her clothes. ‘I will’ a boy walked up to her. His hands crossed at the back of his hips. She stopped dead in her tracks. She turns around slowly and covers her hands on her face, closing her eyes. ‘Please don’t kill! Please! Ill give you my house, and my clothes, and my food and…’ the boy walks up to her laughing and taps on her head. ‘Hey, I’m here to be friends, not kill you’ Linda’s jaw drops and she stares at him as if he just slapped her. ‘My friend?’ ‘Yup, your friend.’ Linda screams as she just discovered a cockroach on her hand. And in the spur of the moment, she grabs the boy’s hand and...
