I completed one month of loneliness and sadness. One morning I decided to meditate to strengthen my mental state. But as I started, I could not concentrate for more than fifteen minutes. The grim image of the murdered lady and the sadness and anger stored inside me for the false accusation of her murder would come to my mind and collapse my meditation. I began to divert my mind from that tragic incident and focused on what lay ahead of me. The thing that lies ahead of me was a rope. Yes, it was a rope. I would be executed after one month for a crime that I have never committed.

As I looked around, I observed my surroundings. I was in an old rusted cell, trapped with old rusted bars. There was a small window near the ceiling, which was the only light source. My cell contained a single hard bed without any pillow. I searched for a thing that could help me to escape. But I was not able to find a single thing that could do so. So I devised a method of escaping. One night, I started to bark loudly like a wolf and then hit my head with the prison bars as one of the prison guards noticed me. Grudgingly he asked what was wrong with me. I ignored his question and continued my strange and mad behaviour. He opened the door and tried to stop me, but I hit him with my hand at an angle to his back head. He could not dodge my 'backhead karate chop'. Maybe he was already drunk to dodge my inexperienced attack. Then I gradually started to move outside of the cell. I was overjoyed that I would get freedom in few minutes. Indeed I got freedom in few seconds. "Bang bang bang" Three bullets were fired, and their striking sound could be heard all over the silent prison. First, I felt an itch at my shoulder blade. Then I felt the pain three times in a row. The prison guard was actually acting like he was knocked out. He had the bloodthirst to kill me from the start. I just wanted freedom from the prison to avenge her murderer. Blood splattered from my mouth and back shoulder. I was feeling extreme pain. My vision was getting dizzy. As I was falling to the ground, my whole life started to flash in front of me.

‌I started to receive glimpses of my past 25 years of life from my subconscious mind. I was born in a low-income family in a rural land far from city life. I was my parents' only son. I could remember the face of my mother shining brightly with her smile. I could remember her sweet voice. I could remember her tender hand over my head. I was truly happy, and I thought my small family was the happiest in the world. But soon, my happiness was crushed. Cholera broke out into our village. Many people died. My mother or father was no exception. But 'luckily', I remained alive. There was neither food nor water for me. I stayed hungry for days, and my dead mother and father stayed in front of me, lying lifeless on the floor. I watched their death-stricken grim face with my painful eyes. After one month king's men from the capital came and invaded my village. Other kids and I were taken to the capital only to be sent to an orphanage or rather a 'slave producing' orphanage, to be more precise. After two sorrowful years in that orphanage, I was sent as a slave to a rich official who worked in the royal court. The rich man lived 'alone' in his house. Here 'alone' means that he had no relative in his house, but he had three female slaves, which he bought before me. I was only bought as a punching bag. He used to beat me every single day without any reason. The girls were well-treated with luxurious and gorgeous clothes and food every single day. But every single night, they were the target of his lust. Sometimes, I could hear their crying. I could feel their pain, but it was useless to do anything. I was only a slave and nothing more than that to do something. Then after a year, two girls committed suicide. The third girl was stronger than the other two. His wrath and beating increased on me. Every time, he used a whip to strike me. Red marks were tattooed on my skin.

Then one morning, when the man had gone to work, there was a terrific cry in the upper room. I was not supposed to leave my room downstairs and go to the upper rooms. He only allowed me to visit the upper floor in cleaning, washing, and other household stuff. That happened only under his strict supervision. If he found out I was there without his permission, he would beat the hell out of me. The upper floors were only for his girls. I was given the smallest room on the lower floor. The room did not have any furniture. It had a small window near the ceiling as the only light source. I heard the cry again. It was much shriller than before. It was the cry of a girl. The cry had much terror in it. "Help. Anyone please help. There is a snake it's gonna bite me". Without any second thought, my legs moved. I took a rod in my hand and stepped into the upper floor. I followed the trail of the sound and entered the room of the snake. There was a girl in that room whose beauty was superior to anyone I have ever seen. The crying girl was sitting in one corner, and the snake was approaching her with its slithering venom. My hands moved without any thought. I hit the snake's head with all my strength. Blood splurted out of its head, and it was dead. Then I threw the dead snake out of the window. The girl was shaking with fear. I quickly grabbed her hand and said, "There is nothing to fear now, my lady.". She quickly recovered from her fear. Then, she said with a strong voice, "Thanks for saving my life. You are very kind. I can give you a gift in return for saving my life.". She touched my hard, bony cheeks with her soft, tender lips. This was my first day meeting her. Luckily, the rich man, the man who bought her, was unaware of my meeting with her.

When the man was not in the house, she would come down and pay a visit to me in my little room. As time passed, she became my only friend in this world. She shared all her thoughts with me. Most thoughts of her revolved around the cruel rich man who had bought her. The rich man forced her to do things that she did not want to do. With time with her, I started to fall in love. Luckily she also had the same feelings for me. Then we two decided to run from the cruel place as soon as possible. I thought that I would live happily for the rest of my life with her. But, no. Happiness is not on my side. Love and luck are not my companions. On the day when I would run away with her, something terrible happened. When the rich man left the house, I waited for her to come down to my room. But after thirty minutes of waiting when she appeared not to be arriving, I started to walk towards the upper floor, towards her room. When I entered her room, I could not believe what lay in front of me. Tears ran down my eyes. I could see her sitting in that corner of the room. But this time, she was already dead. There was a knife stuck in her chest, and blood was dripping from it. I started to reach towards her. I was too shocked to remain conscious. My body lost balance, and I fainted beside her. The next thing I remembered waking up in prison, and I was guilty of her murder.

These were the glimpses of my life that I saw as falling to the ground after the prison guard shot me three times as I was trying to escape. Then my motionless body remained dead on the ground of the rusted prison, which had a window near the ceiling.

As I tried to open my eyes, I saw mist in every direction. I started to walk, but the thick mist remained intact with the air. Then suddenly, I heard the voice of a rather familiar voice. It was her voice: the kind, sweet voice of the girl I loved. I started to move in the trail of her sound. From a distance, I can see her. I started to run. Seeing me, she also started to run towards me with her eyes full of tears. Then something stopped both of us. I could not hear her tender voice any longer. Suddenly, there was a glass wall between her and me. I started to hit the glass with my fist, but with no success, then a loud voice started to speak to both of us. " Both of you are chosen as the soul of Eden. Two of you are our only hope in saving a planet. Both of you will get reincarnated into that universe. "
