Alex didn't know how much time had passed nor did he know where he was but as soon as Alex fell asleep due to fatigue, he was pulled into a dreamland full of beautiful flowers which were swaying left and right by the gentle breeze of the winds.
Alex felt quite weird and looked around to know where he was.
He felt that it was a dream and at the same time it felt quite surreal and natural as if the dream had merged with his reality.
In the big flower garden, Alex stood at an unknown spot amid the garden with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
He raised his brows seeing the bouquet of flowers and as he was pondering for whom it was and how it got into his hands, his ear perked up as it caught onto the sweet gentle song.The melodic harmony of the song tantalises one's desire making him or her drown in the world of musical ecstasy.
But Alex's expression distorted and his eyeball widened with shock and disbelief.
A certain memory of his previous life came into his mind.
This place looked precisely the same as the one where he had confessed his love and got accepted.
He ran like a mad man searching for the source of the sound which was filled with the joy of mirth.
Alex's steps halted as he finally reached the place, just a short run had worn him down and he was panting heavily.
It's as if he had gone to his previous useless and weaker state.Alex looked up to see the figure who was singing among blooming flowers and seeing the back of the figure, his hands trembled and his heartbeat started to hasten and beat wildly.
Alex couldn't remember when was the last time he felt the humane emotions of fear, nervousness and anxiety but he was sure that he was feeling everything now in this instant.
Because the back of the silhouette interlaced perfectly, with the one he was madly in love with.
She was his whole world, his shining star in the sea of darkness, his guiding light who had always helped him when he lost his way.
Her figure was absolutely stunning and she can even be compared to Riya in terms of beauty.
She was a beautiful and kind soul.
Alex fell in love with her when both of them went to the same university. She had countless admirers who would always flock towards her wanting to get a bite of her.
But she would always look indifferent and had a cold and aloof expression. Her temperament was that of a Queen whom one had to respect no matter the situation and how Alex was able to get together with her.
But from inside she was filled with warmth and softness.She donates most of her earnings in charity and generally despises those who waste their money.
It all started when Alex in his previous life went to donate some money to the orphanage when he heard that the orphanage was facing some financial crisis.
The orphanage didn't get enough support to keep running and seeing those innocent children, losing their home, Alex tried to help them in every way he could and even raised a crowdfunding program.
On his quest to save the orphanage, he met her in the orphanage.
Later, he came to know that she was an orphan and was from that orphanage and seeing Alex trying to save her previous home, both of them joined the venture to save the orphanage.
Finally, they were able to amass the funds to keep the orphanage running as well as they were able to draw the support from a charity organisation.
In this process both of them came closer little by little.
After much hardship and trying, Alex was finally able to melt her cold heart and found that she may look cold from the outside but from inside she was filled with warmth and care.
Alex enjoyed his peaceful days with her and both of them decided to marry.
But before they could marry, the calamity struck her, waking both of them from their sweet dreams and making them drift apart with time.
But more than that she had become a shooting star who even after dying was alive avidly in his memories.
"George, is that you?"
"Or should I call you Alex?"
As the figure could sense something, without turning back,she spoke with a soothing tone.
Alex's voice trembled and his eyes moistened a bit and he spoke with a voice filled with misery"Ava, are you really….My Ava."
"So, Alex, you still remembered me."
"Husshh! I thought after getting new wives, you would have surely forgotten me."
"Ava, no…. Don't say such words. You are and will always be an irreplaceable thing in my heart and your place has been engraved deep in my soul which I could never forget."
"Fufufufufu....."
"Ohhh!Alex, you are still a sweet talker as ever."
"No, Ava, believe my words. If you want, I can give away everything. If you can come back, I can give away this worthless life of mine and return to you." Alex spoke while wishing that it might not be a dream.
"I see.."
"George…No, I mean Alex, you have become an irresponsible man and you should know I hate irresponsible people."
Alex frowned on hearing Ava's words and hearing her , or ds,he felt a sharp outburst of pain in his heart as he felt that Ava was condemning her.
Ava's silhouette looked up and spoke"Our past was past and now that past is over. How can one give up on everything in the present for the past?"
"Moreover, what happened to your promise that you have given to Goddess? What happened to the promises that you have given yourself and to your wives that you would protect them and take care of them."
"Are you going to break your promise?"
Ava's words snapped Alex out of his thoughts and he was stunned for a moment.
Alex fell into deep thought and contemplated everything while self-reflecting on himself.
How I behaved now was utterly pathetic and disgusting?
How can he behave like a meek after coming this far?
He didn't know whether the silhouette was really Ava or not. If Ava was here, she should have slapped him and beat some sense into him.
"So, Alex, it seems that you found the answer," Ava said and following her voice, strong winds started to blow, making her hair flutter.
"Thanks, Ava for appearing in my dream.Even though it is just an illusion, you still guided me even after your death. You are truly my guiding light Ava." Alex muttered with a smile and his hazy eyes shone brightly with a newfound determination and resolution.
"By the way, why did you think it was just a dream, Alex?" Ava spoke with a teasing tone.
"Hein!" Alex squeaked on hearing Ava's words and just as he was about to speak again, Ava tilted her body towards him showing her beautiful face much to Alex's surprise and giving him a heart attack.
Her facial features were similar, still it looked a bit different from the Ava he knew.
"Don't worry Alex, it's my current appearance."
"Moreover, you don't need to be saddened by my departure, we are going to meet soon."
"Very Soon....."
Ava's figure started to disperse into small particles of light leaving Alex shocked and at a loss of words.
Alex even forgot to breathe for a moment as Ava's parting words still rang in his ear like thunder.
