A Miracle With A Heart

Chapter 15
A Miracle with A Heart

As I went to the next page, it was blank but it had a date. I went to the next page again, Blank. The following pages were also the same, nothing was written on it. But finally when I flipped a page, an entry awaited.

Wait. This was made at the day that the professor left!

February 14, 2011

So we meet again, journal… it's her death day today, huh? How many years has it been… 13? Wow, it's been that long.

I still miss her until now… I knew it was going to be lonely without her, so after I graduated college I immediately worked on something that can bring her back in my life again. I made a robot that represented her.

How? I used the heart that I had made a long time ago… do you still remember?

Of course you do, it's written on you, literally.

You can call me crazy or weird or whatever you want to call me… I just missed her.

But she's not the same girl that I knew before… she may look the same but she's not her… she's still a mere robot… a robot with no feelings.

I treat her like the girl from before nonetheless. I don't hate her; I actually love her even though she's just a robot because… she makes me remember… she makes me feel like she's still alive… she makes me smile. And plus, I created her, what scientist wouldn't love their own creation?

Before I created her, I was filled with misery… I was lonely. But the creation that has filled my loneliness is about to end.

She's not going to be operating for long.

Her heart's dying… her heart does not have feelings… a heart needs to have feelings to live. I have made one actually… a heart with feelings for Rin. But I can't give it to her… for she is a robot; she won't withstand it, making her die.

I have decided not to give it to her because even if I don't install it inside her, she'd still be living for about 10 years more. If I did install it inside her, she might not last for even a day… feelings were never meant to be inside a robot in the first place. It's really too much for them to withstand. So either way… she dies…

Oh… and did I tell you I'm leaving?

Yes, I'm leaving.

Cruel? Not really

Selfish? Absolutely.

I'm leaving… I'm leaving her because I can't stand losing someone again. I can't lose her the second time. I just can't. I'm going to move on. I can't let my life revolve around the past. I have to let go…

So if you're listening Rina, I'll finally let go of your hand. I have also left the heart behind… if Rin ever finds it…

I hope she'll understand. I'm sorry, Rin, for I will not be there with you til' the end. I wanted to be with you when you left this world, but I just couldn't. You should know that I have always loved you as if you were my own.

Rina, Rin, both of you will always remain in my heart as I will remain with yours forever.

All I can say now is… Thank You, Farewell. Until we meet again.

Wait, what? I couldn't understand. I was confused. I didn't know what to do so I searched for this 'heart with feelings' that he had left. Maybe that would let me understand. I searched all over the lab for hours and then finally, I found a necklace.

Is this the necklace the Miss Rina gave the Professor? It should've been the one! It had a heart in it. As I picked up the necklace, it suddenly glowed.

Huh? What is happening? Why's it glowing? From the glowing necklace, I felt something indescribable pound inside of me. It can't be… is this…?

The Heart? My chest felt like it was burning… it hurt, but at the same time it was relieving.

What is this? Are these what he has been telling me about all this time? These feelings? I could feel anger, hurt, sadness, happiness, love…

Is this what it feels like to have feelings? If it is… I'm satisfied.

I'm beginning to understand that there's a reason why I was born. Because in this world it must be sad being… alone. And the days we spent, I see them all; everything is clear in my mind. From now on, those memories live in my heart.

Thank You, Father.
