Divine beauty

Sad expression on that divine face didn't suited at all. Ditto wanted to say something, but words didn't found their way out of her throat. Like she saw the most beautiful thing in existence and was afraid to utter a word because it was so beautiful that it might be a dream, and if this was a dream, Ditto didn't wanted it to end, ever.

The beauty stared at her face, and spoke in a lazy, cool, soothing authority filled voice. "Hey miss sunshine."

Ditto was amazed, she said, "Hey, umm.... Can I ask you one thing?"

Her, "Anything dear."

Ditto, "Why do you call me sunshine."

A bright smile appeared on that divine face, she smiled at her lovingly, and said, "The day I saw you was one lonely dark day, as usually my days are. I was not really expecting to see you, nor I was ready to accept or welcome any changes in my life, but then there you were. You were standing, physically on the road, but for me, standing like a sun between me and my the eternal never ending darkness. That was the first time in forever that I felt a surge of hope in my heart. First time I ever felt that I have a heart, it was the first time I understood true love. As they say, there is never a time or a place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment. I call you sunshine, because you filled my dark world with warmth and brightness, just like how sunshine takes away the darkness from our world. So you are my sunshine. Why, you don't like this name?"

Ditto, "No, this name is beautiful. So, should I call you Ralph or you will tell me your name?"

Her, "Okay so you want to know my name?"

Ditto, "Desperately."

Her, "Adria. Adria Xenon."

Ditto, "Wow wonderful. It is unique, just like you. But I also want to give you a nickname. Do you already have a nickname?"

Yes, Officer Ralph is our dear Adria. So how many of you knew it beforehand?

Adria, "So you think I am unique? And you want to give me a nickname? So someone really cares?"

Ditto, "Oh co'mon."

Adria, "Really. I always switch back and forth between personalities. I usually tend to forget my own name, how can I have the luxury to remember my nickname?"

Ditto, "So that means you won't remember the nickname I'll give you?

Adria, "Oh my goddess, thou are the light to my dark world. Thou are my feeling. Thou are special. I will sure remember."

Ditto,"Oh my, how gracefully you delivered those lines, those were cheesy but I liked them, so your nickname is grace."

"Oh."

Ditto, "You didn't liked it?"

"I did, it is wonderful. Grace. I love it"

Ditto, "You are, hehe, one of a kind. Well I don't think we can talk for a long time, and if someone will hear me talking , they will definitely suspect that I am talking to someone. If that happens, I'll be in great trouble. "

Adria, "You study at St. Andrew's engineering college? Am I right?"

"Yes. How did you know? "

" I know nearly everything about you. Okay, go to sleep early. You have a class tomorrow right? I'll meet you there. Take care"

After thinking about it, Ditto said, "Okay. See you."

None of them bid farewell, they just stared at each others face for a long while. Then Ditto heard some footsteps outside her room, so she hung up. As soon as she hung up, every trace of a videocall disappeared from the screen. There was no messages, no nothing. Just as before, no sign of the cell phone being used.

Inside Ditto's mind.

She told me she loves me, didn't she? And I was not able to say anything back, as if I knew it right away that she is for me. There were no reservations or second thoughts, I saw her and in an instant knew that my soul had known her soul lifetimes ago. And she feels the same.

They say miracle don't exist, if this is not miracle, then what else is?

She literally made her way to me.

I am in a deep endless spiral of suffering and pain, and she, despite having her own darkness, chooses to be with me. She accepted me without any second thought. A broken shoe, without any second thought.

Finally, after all this time, my reality is better than my dreams. I know this time, for sure. I am in love.

I kind of pity the guys I've loved before.

This is autumn season, season of books, of shattering hope, of death. Those who will wait will be able to see the beauty of spring. Those who will give up too soon, won't be happy with their decision.

And I am glad I didn't gave up too soon. I know that this is not an end to my tragedy, I will suffer a lot in future too. But What I know is, all this suffering will be worth. All the tragedy that awaits in nearby future, I am ready for it.

Here, outside Ditto's room, stood an ugly man with scared face and body of a giant. He was standing at the door, trying to hear something. He was frustrated that he was not able to do so. "My ears are getting old I guess."

He opened the door, and saw Ditto sitting on her bed, with a glint of determination and hope she never had. He won't say that she was weak, because the torture was inhumane which she went through, but this type of determination was rare. Shredder was eventually getting bored by Ditto, so he was thinking about ways to get rid of her, but now, after he saw hope being alive again in her, he wanted to break her down in million pieces again.

"You are my favorite toy, dear." Shredder thought.

His mind didn't crossed the thought to investigate where all this determination came from. He was so engulfed in thinking about how he will break her down again, that he didn't thought even for once that maybe, maybe there is someone who hates his existence, who knows that he is going to touch her against her will tonight, and is planning revenge against him. He didn't knew that all the wrong he did yet, karma is going to throw it back on him. He didn't knew he was going to be ruined soon.

He made his way towards the bed where Ditto was sitting, looking at him, shivering. She knew what he had for her tonight. All she wanted was to be well enough to go to her college tomorrow. To see the person who can relive her pain just by smiling at her.
