Chapter 9

At two o'clock in the morning, she fell on the bed, exhausted. Joseph was standing in front of the mirror looking at himself with critical eyes.

"What happened?" She looked at him in amazement with half open and half closed eyes.

"Do I look like humans?"

"Yes, of course. Why?"

"Everyone was staring at me, especially the girls ... I was worried no one doubted."

"That's why she wasn't watching." She nodded. This was before the stranger's confrontation.

"Then why were they looking?"

"You're so handsome ... the girls will look back and forth." She stopped laughing.

"Well, that's what you see too?"

"When do I see?" She looked around. Joseph stopped and looked at her.

"Let me check your heart rate." She changed the topic.

"Joseph ... the stethoscope ..." When he stepped forward, she nodded.

“No... check like that."

She put her hand on his chest and looked at the watch. Heartbeat was normal.

The heartbeat on his planet was a little higher than normal. It was normal to come to earth. They used to wander here and there during the day and come to the flat at night. This was not the city of Anahita. He had deliberately taken her to another city and her mind was completely under Joseph's control. She couldn't think without his consent. So the idea of ​​meeting her father or friends did not occur to her. She wishes all these aliens would tell us humans how to think and control thought, how easy life should be.

She doesn’t know when he will come back. He did not leave, but he said he would return soon. She knew in that look that the final decision had to be made about Anahita. She wasn't even curious, she just wanted him to come back and be fine.

Joseph seemed strange to her at the last meeting. He was listening to her quietly and was very serious.

"I can have love, can't I?" Know why he came up with the idea.

"Yes why not..."

"But don't love on earth; love any girl in your world."

"You don't have girls on your planet, Joseph?"

"No."

"Then who will love? Do this. Don't let love reach the heart."

"My heart just doesn't work." He raised his red eyes and looked at her as if she was shocked.

"What happened?"

"Nothing." It was the first time he had messed up.

"Is the heartbeat fast?" She put her hand on his heart and he pushed it back.

"Yes, that's right."

"Good." She put her hand back.

"Have you ever been in love with anyone?" After being silent for a while, he asked again.

"Yes"

"From whom?" Her heart was pounding.

"Dad and one my best friend,"

"How do you feel?"

"I feel the happiest when I'm with them. It's the happiness of being with those who love."

"Always?"

"Yes, always. Yes, sometimes even when we are angry, love lasts, but just assuming that it will be celebrated, love does not end or diminish. Their presence is just as comforting."

"So what are these feelings that keep me from breathing? How do I feel today?"

He stops and turned to Anahita. And Anahita looked at him in surprise.

"How are you feeling?"

"It's as if someone is biting my heart, for the first time I feel any kind of pain and only in the heart."

"Maybe your body is rejecting the heart."

"No, it's not like that, I've seen ... these are some of the feelings that are bothering me." He finally put his pain in front of Anahita.

"I thought it would be love, but you said love is restless?" He put his hand on his heart.

"You're feeling the same way. Can you tell me what these feelings are?"

"M ... how can I?"

"I connected your heart to my heart like a brain did." The cat finally came out of the bag. And Anahita nodded her head.

"Oh God ... Joseph ... I said don't do that."

"Okay, I've been punished a lot. Now tell me the cure."

"You did wrong. You don't steal anyone's feelings." Anahita was still feeling sorry. He just shrugged.

"Tell me the cure for this pain, I can't live like this." He looked very helpless. Anahita laughed unwillingly.

"Are you laughing?" He looked at her with great frustration.

"You always used to taunt us that the people of the earth are weak, we are strong, now tell me. We may not be able to bear the physical pain, but the heartache we endure is not easy Mr. Alien ... You guys can't stand it. Now we are not weak. We are both strong in our own place. "

"I agree. Get some treatment now." He made a bad face.

Anahita fell in love with Joseph and he put his hand on his heart.

"You're hiding something." She felt something was wrong. Anahita's slight pain was probably tenfold.

"Yeah ... I learned everything related to love because there's nothing in my heart but love. It's too long ago. And you haven't told me anything about love until today."

"Our heart has more functions, but because no function of your body needs a heart, you have only feelings in your heart. Believe me; it doesn't hurt me as much as it hurts you." She did not know the reason then. He frowned and looked at her.

"Who do you love?"

"Don't you know?" She tried to figure out how much he knew.

"I tried to look but it's all blurred, nothing is clear."

“Delete all the feelings you have copied from me. That's the cure. "She smiled again.

"And no cure? I don't have to love to understand love if I delete it all."

"No, there's no way." Joseph grumbled. "And my repentance with love." He had put the feelings on the delete.
