Yuri and I have planned for having an unraveled journey that is quite fictional when narrated. Today I am taking the most dreadful and life-risking step of my life- visiting the unknown world through the door of the washing machine. This is like pushing yourself at the mouth of death.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJWeLc31vj
“So are you ready?” says Yuri.
“Don’t ask me that question if you really want to go.”
I put my bag of some essential commodities on my folded knees and cramped inside the washing machine. She also makes her own space inside. We keep the door open and she presses the start button on the top. I close my eyes tightly and clench onto Yuri’s skirt as the machine starts to move. It feels like the world around me has stopped but Yuri’s smell has still kept my heart beating. Nothing feels painful, maybe this is the after stage of death. But then Yuri calls my name.
As I open my eyes I see her standing wearing an Oxygen mask. She picks me up from the ground and puts an Oxygen mask on me. I try to understand the situation and so hold up the mask for some seconds. The deficiency of Oxygen immediately strikes my lungs.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoStpXQGV6h
“Where are we?” I ask.
“In the world of non-living beings.”
I move around my head listening to Yuri’s explanation and see garments walking around without a human body. Post lights, stalls, houses, and bicycles moving and conversing by themselves.
As we move down the street we see a stall selling washing powder and detergent as food for the clothes, some stalls are also selling different kinds of threads as medicines. I even see a garment carrying a car as a pet dog.
“How come a car is a pet dog?”
“Because clothes are the primary need of human beings and cars are only used as a mean of luxury.”422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6PG62Cz9P
This world I have invaded is a world of charisma and fantasy. It’s unbelievable to be walking among such known but altered behavioral creatures.
After coming through the city we end up in front of a wood. She leads me towards the way she dreamt. We reach to an old house with a huge garden. After looking at the plants I recall that there isn't any existence of trees in this world and so Oxygen mask is a necessity for us, the living creatures.422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXIk1JzJ46
We get inside the nursery and look around the plants. Suddenly an old lady comes out from behind the heap of cactus.
“Anything you need?”
“Um, I am Yuri and this is my friend Anju. We have come here to make out the mystery of my life. I have seen you in my dreams. You have the hidden scriptures of the past. So, can you please help us?”
“So, you are the chosen pieces of Mother Nature. Finally, the day has arrived.”
She pulls us a chair and holds up a glass ball on a table.
“Millions of years ago when humans started to evolve into mystic creatures, they started discovering new things as a mean of survival. But as they grew successful they became more powerful and started making things that are still harming Mother Nature. As a mother, she could never remove the existence of the humans but she needed to take of her other children. So, she put this duty in the hands of trees, our living sources. They created a different world where all the piled-up dirt of the Earth would grow up to be a separate world of its own. But as the trees were also abandoned from this non-living world, Mother Nature connected human life with the chosen trees and made it inevitable for humans to save the life of trees. And so you are the first example of this living mystery.”422Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡearr3qhNZl
We are stunned to hear such hidden truth of our world and are stuck at the verge of reality and fantasy.
“But why it has to be Blossom and Yuri to be connected? Why can’t it be someone else?”
“Nature has chosen you for a reason and you are born with that purpose itself. Your love for the tree and your attraction towards Japan has created this connection. Yuri and Blossom are not dependent on each other, they are dependent on you. If you keep Yuri safe Blossom will be healthy, if you keep Blossom safe Yuri will be fine. Nature has chosen you for this duty. Yuri is made for you and so is Blossom. Keep them close to your heart and never lose your love for them.”
I look at Yuri, the old lady’s words are echoing in my ears. The warm color of dusk falls on Yuri’s face and brightens up her teary eyes. I could realize my increasing heartbeats, they are loud enough for her to listen. Her splashing beauty clearly says I am in love. she is the same Blossom I have known all these years. My Blossom and ‘My Yuri’.
The old lady uses a spell to send us home and we spend the night together with Blossom, cuddling around her trunk.
