Forgotten Memories

" You don't remember anything about what had happened right? Maybe these stories can help. " Mother said. The girl listened to her quietly as she continued her stories. " 2 years ago, A crazy scientist named Adam had risen. He wants the world to obey him. This world and the upper world. With the help of our powers of traveling space and time, he created a machine. With that anyone can go to the upper world without getting reborn. And anyone from that world can come here . It can also manage the time because the time difference between our 2 worlds are 17 years. He invented the machine based on the myths. you might not remember but we have to be reborn in order to get to the upper world. But they don't need to do the same. But if they managed to come here then they won't be able to go back. But in old days people used to believe that there is a door connecting the 2 worlds. Anyone who passes through the door can go back in time and continue living their usual life there. But everyone thought that was only stupid beliefs until Adam came with his machine. He promised to make our world better with the help of our people. Those who followed him willingly, were living life of Nobles. And those who opposed him were greatly punished, their cities got destroyed. Now they are his slaves. Just in a year, he took control of all the other states in the world, except for our village. He might have done it too if you weren't there. You inspired everyone. You're actions and bravery made everyone believe in themselves. You made everyone fight for their freedom. That's why Adam was unable to take control of our land. Your bravery and honestly made everyone admire you. you even made Joe fell hard for you " she chuckled. " Then one day you found out that Adam wasn't stopping only after inventing these. He also made memory medicine and crystal ball. That medicine can drain anyone's memory and those will gather into the crystal. He intended to bring people from upper world and use it in them to make them forget everything and make them his loyal slaves for his experiments and sexual desires. But you couldn't let it happen. You went alone to his castle to find a way to stop him but never returned. We tried to find you in every means possible. Mostly Joe. We all thought he might have killed you. But Joe didn't want to believe. But even after searching for days and months he just closed off his heart. He was devastated after that and never smiled again. some time after you got lost , Adam starred to threaten the villagers. He started to evict people from their homes. The 3 girls who helped you, Riya , Jhini , Ghumru were the ones to get evicted first, Because they were your friends. We gave them shelter." Every word of mother was making the girl angry too. " Who is this Adam? Who gave him the right to do such things? And how dumb can these people be? Don't they know how to do anything on their own? What have Shini taught them? Why they still didn't learn how to fight back for themselves?" She muttered in resentment. Mother said " Well this is it for now.Now get up and eat something. Then go on a stroll outside with Jhini and Ghumru. " She got up. After eating some light food she went out with the 2 girls. Jhini is taller than her, and Ghumru is shorter than her. The girl was wondering how fine their heights match. Different from each other but still somehow complete. The told her many things that even mother didn't know. Except for this village, every other places were turned into cities by Adam. there are tall buildings, Skies are black even in day. Light are everywhere even at night. Garbage piled up everywhere. Waters are poisoned And there are Ming-Mings everywhere. They are people made of metal. People of this world used to be loving towards nature and lives. But Adam changed everything. Because of him Nature is fading, lives are dying. Even if people didn't like it, they couldn't say anything because of Ming-Mings. If anyone tried to run away or attack or oppose him, the Ming-Mings shoot light beams from their eyes and destroy everything. No-one ever got hurt but the falling buildings and fire and booms made them so scared that there was no need to hurt anyone to make them silent. After Shini or she disappeared Adams men started to attack this village. After a month or so it became worse. His men started to abduct children,young girls and boys to be his sex slaves. The villagers couldn't take it anymore and so Joe and some other young people decided to make a deal with Adam. They will bring people from the upper world to be his slaves with the help of his inventions. In return he'll spare their land and people. Adam was satisfied with this deal and stopped attacking them. Jhini and Ghumru were in this too. They tried to convince Joe that Shini didn't want this! How would she feel if she saw him out of all people, doing what she always fought against. But Joe would always answer in a bitter tone " She isn't here anymore. She doesn't exist. And so her thoughts don't matter anymore. Our priority now is to make sure everyone is safe." Other than them, no one knows about this. The girl was quite frustrated. But then she thought maybe losing someone you love, makes you hard as stone...

All this time she was wondering, what is the upper world? There is sun in the sky..Then suddenly she noticed, a little far from where they are standing, up in the sky something was shining. She tried to look closely. Water; up in the sky? How is that possible? Water is just floating in the sky ? The girls said " this is the sky river. There are also sky lakes , sky oceans. " They both grabbed each of her hands and said " do you wanna see the upper world?" then they started to flap their legs like they are swimming under water. They all started to fly towards the sky river.
