and around me because it often made me smile. There was a strange comfort in that surreal presence. It was like the envelope of love that kept me warm and as I stopped using dad’s machine and stopped interacting with the outer space. The presence of the strange silhouette from the outer world began to disappear and fade away.

Chapter 3:
     
    I am 25 and I don’t really know what I feel about me. Yes, my life has been way better than what it could have been.  I could have gone wayward and I may have lost my track in life, but I finally had some comfort now.
    I had paid off my mom’s debt and I quit my job as an accountant. My firm agreed to give me a huge hike in order to make an effort to retain me, but I had made my mind and I had absolutely no interest whatsoever in living this kind of mechanical life.
    I knew I had a larger porpoise in life and now that I was a lot more confident and independent, I wanted to be sure that I could live my wings and give shape to my dreams.
    My hands were jittery but I knew that I had to do it. I opened the lock on my dad’s room. I had locked it when mom had passed away because it had started to become one of my vices. I knew it was one thing which had made my mom tensed and I wanted more than ever to lock it away.
    But, the day I had turned 25, I had felt the same presence near me. It had taken me back to my childhood days and the pull I experienced was so strong that I couldn't tolerate being away from it.
    I woke up feeling both happy and sad and I was torn. I was indecisive as I didn’t know what to do or what to say.
    I tried closing my eyes and I wanted to be lost in the moment, but in the end, I felt like I was a little child again and the stars kept calling out to me. I knew I should keep it away and for the sake of my mom, I needed to push all those memories of the old days away, but I was helpless.
    It was as if there was a larger force which was governing me and no matter how strong I was, the force was stronger than me.
    I finally gave in to the temptation and I knew that my life would not be the same again. I had locked my dream and desire for so long, but now was the time to explore what remained.
    I had spent some time trying to get back in the groove. I sat on dad’s machine and triggered some command. I never had any kind of background in science and outer space, but somehow every time I sat on the machine, I could feel like there was someone who was regulating me.
    I didn’t need any kind of knowledge but I could punch the right buttons and my soul felt a sense of liberation and ease. I had no clue of what I was doing, but I had a gut feeling that I was in the right way. I knew that this was my destiny. This is what I was meant to do and I allowed myself to be controlled by that moment. I had no freaking clue of how long I was on the machine or what it did there, but I felt myself traveling away, into a different place, a different land, a different area.
    It was one of the most breathtaking views of all time. I had never in my life seen a more majestic color of the sea. The sea had a magenta touch it and the sun was glowing like it was on fire and yet had a reddish tinge to it. I knew that this was either a dream or I was hallucinating.
    I had never been to a place like this and I wanted to just be there and stay there for the rest of the time. However, I needed some kind of a grip. It was hard for me to stay there when I couldn’t even differentiate between reality and imagination.
    “Welcome, Claire,” I heard a sexy voice and I knew that it was the same voice which I was used to hearing since the time I was a little child.
    I turned back and the face of the familiar stranger looked at me. He had the most beautiful seductive green eyes and his lips were luscious red, almost like ripe strawberries. I had never been so fiercely attracted to anyone ever before, but this was surely one of the best sights I had ever seen.
    I had met my fair share of hot men in my
