250 Miles Beyond Earth's Surface

"Amelia? We're good?", Lucy; one of her Troops' partners asked in a worrisome tone.

"Yes, It's just that... It's just...." Amelia could no longer hold onto her fake 'I'm ok' phase.

She let go of her forced smile and said:

"I miss him... I miss him badly! He must be crying and screaming right now... I'm sure he's in pain... I can feel his pain inside of me... I can't live without him...", Amelia collapsed into Lucy's arms, surrendering the fragile facade of control she had clung to for so long, as she cried her heart out.

You're not alone, Am. Trust me, you're not! I have left my ill mother alone. My little brother who slept with me every day... Everyone here has left a precious bond behind. Get yourself together! But, I know your pain is deeper; You both shared an undeniable love. Still, you have to be brave! 10 years would pass in the blink of an eye.

Blink of an Eye? Really?

"I'm weaker than he is, though I pretend to be strong and bold... but Iโ€™m not. I never drank coffee. The truth is, I never wanted to. But his love, the care he showedโ€” I couldn't resist sharing a cup.".

Amelia continued Mourning in heartbreak.

250 Miles Beyond Realm of Space

Jaxon pulled Amelia's letter and hugged it with his chest. His eyes shed blood with constant speed.

There was a small box at the table. Jaxon stared at it with his red-soared eyes. His shivering hands forced their direction at that little box and picked it up.

A small sticky note on that box said,

"Now, My forever Good-Luck charm will stay with you and You'll shine throughout your life"

Amelia left her prestigious belonging; Her Good-Luck Charm to her love of Life.

Jaxon opened the box and it was Amelia's wedding ring with the stone she'd always loved.

Am! ........ My Amelia!............

----Silent Cries----

Two Lovers..........

The love story of Am and Jax was profound

They could hear their cries; The cries with no sound

Amelia had to pay her debts; So she did fly

Jaxon was standing waiting for her beneath the sky

'10 years' was too longโ€” Too long for someone who

Used to breathe together, their hearts were true

The morning coffee and those Mischievous smiles

Destiny took every moment far awayโ€”1000 miles

Years went by, But their love never Dried

Jaxon was counting every day; His heart tied

Amelia spent her nights and days singing his nameโ€”

Their worlds were apart, yet their love burned the same

Jaxon started to fall; Growing weak in this chase

One star was burning on Earth, The Other in Space

5 Years passed and now the other half was left

Destiny saved their Love or was it a Theft?

Jax would smile less or maybe only when marking a cross

Amelia would operate her Job; Inside she felt a loss

10 years did PASS in the Blink of an Eye

Amelia was right, "Jaxon didn't DIE"

But time was HELL for both of them

Inside they wanted to screw time's stem

3 months left... Amelia would come back...

Jax was almost a patient of "Heart Attack"

But His smile was returning back from a vast ocean

Amelia couldn't stop smiling because of her Emotion

10 days... Now Jax started to decorate their place

Amelia gained some weight but there was a smile on her face

They both were still young but their age was thirty-five

But ain't Heart a child? The only thing ALIVE?

1 day left.... But, things started to get Bruised

Amelia and Jaxon started to get Confused!

What if Am's not the same? What if there's a whirl?

What if Jax is no more 'Loser'? What if Jax got a Girl?

Both were confused yet they held a spark

That they won't betray each other despite being in the dark

And they knew not that both of them stood erect

Their LOVE was a literal Fact

This is your host, Ethan Roberts, and you're watching The National News of California.

Our dear passengers are on their way home, safe and sound. We kindly ask you all to keep them in your thoughts and prayers. It's hard to believe that it's been 10 years since that fateful journey.

We honor our brave astronauts, who risked their lives and dedicated a decade to advancing America's progress and shaping the future of our planet. Today, we pay tribute to their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment.

A song started to play with lyrics, a shining tribute to all the beautiful people.

.

After a decade, Jaxon wore a tuxedo for the first time. His hair was sleek and gelled, and in his pants pocket, he carried Amelia's wedding ring. He had shaved his beard neatly and applied a touch of concealer from Amelia's dresser to conceal his facial scars.

On the Other Hand; Amelia wore the Only RED dress she carried with her for this very Day. Applied a red shade on her lips. Although, the dress fitted her toughly because she gained some weight but her excitement was beyond the fitting of her dress.

In her hands, she wore nothing because she wanted Jax to put her ring on her hands...
