Somewhere in Time - Fizza Younis
To the dreamers, may all your dreams come true!
More Than a Century Ago
There weren’t many things I wanted from life, but the one thing that I had desired the most remained elusive, hiding just out of my reach. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t touch the moon.
The Year was 1904
Looking at the chubby face of their newborn baby girl, they both thought the same thing; she was the most beautiful child in the world and they’d do anything to protect her. It was the happiest day of their lives.
Have you thought of a name yet?
Atticus asked his wife.
Aurora,
Hima said, smiling, because she is the dawn of our new life.
Beautiful just like her,
he said, kissing his daughter on the forehead, Aurora it is then.

Oh, well, there is no point in delaying the inevitable.
She gave him the approval. His face beamed with delight.
The day of the party came soon enough. Atticus had invited all the important people, including national and international dignitaries. Unfortunately, an old friend unexpectedly crashed the party, interrupting the celebration.
Phillip’s sudden appearance was most unwelcomed. No one else noticed it as the party went on, but Atticus made sure that he greeted Phillip himself because he wanted to ensure that Phillip didn’t go anywhere near his wife or daughter.
Aren’t you happy to see me?
Phillip asked, as if accusing his friend of being negligent.
There was a time when the two were closer than brothers. Even though they came from different backgrounds, their friendship was once fodder for people’s envy.
I don’t recall inviting you,
Atticus stated, looking weary. He
