The Time traveller's Husband

1983 ( Henry 16, Clare 80 )

Henry: It was 6a.m in the morning, I woke up with a huge headache and a very VERY strange feeling. I didn't like this feeling.. It was unfamiliar. Something was close.. Something was staring at me.. So close, that I could even feel the yearn in its breath..


I slowly turned my head, afraid that any sudden move of my head would sprain my own neck and that would greatly fail my whole escape plan that I've just intelligently thought out in the past 3 seconds - Get up and run, fast.


With the plan thought out, I completed the turn and to my horror, there's this.. this... naked old woman sitting by my bed staring with eyes filled with love ! LOVE, for Godsake.. LOVE !! Nothing... Nothing but LOVE!! I tried to gather my thoughts as to what happened last night.. Pulling all possible outcomes from the drinking sessions with the guys.
Did I hook up with this granny ?? DID I ?!!


Sweat began to trickle down my forehead as I began to pen out the OTHER possible outcomes.. Maybe this is that grandmother from London that have suddenly decided to stayover. Mom never informs me things like that.. So this could be her..


"Oh Henry.. its really you..." She whispered. The old woman finally spoke ! NO BRITISH ACCENT ! NOT my grandma and SHE KNOWS MY NAME ! Oh God.. oh God! I have to say something now... Anything !!


"YOU ARE NAKED !!!" I yulped, Arghh.. Anything but that.. I should say anything BUT that!!

But old woman only smiled with a kind look and said.. "I'm your wife, Henry.. Your Wife... U told me that you would freak out like this.. and I understand totally.. But you are so young and wrinkle-free! Its hard not to stare. "


None of this information seemed to fit.. My wife ?? I've hooked up with a mental old woman who thinks I'm her husband?? SH*T !!


"I'm sorry lady, granny, honey.. *ahem* I am 16.. I'm not married.. at least, not yet"


"Yes but u will be... To me ! To me Henry.. to me ! I'm a time traveller, Honey.. I met you when you are 15 years old, remember? I'm Clare.. " She spoke with such confirmation in her sober voice, its almost impossible to tell that if she was lying OR crazy.


Wait a minute.. Clare.. That name rings a bell.. Its that young girl from the school's backyard ! The one that is always naked at the bush! The one which none of the guys believed that existed. I saw the resemblance in the green eyes of this old woman and that smile.. that smile was unmistakable.


"Clare..." I began to speak..


"yes!" She was practically screaming.

I love this girl! I have always spoke to her at the bushes. People are even starting to ask why I was talking to trees.


1993 ( Henry 26, Clare 80 and 26 )

Henry : I got out from the showers. I've just had a fight with Clare.. The 26 year old her.. She wanted babies ! Yes.. we got married as planned.. But babies? That's impossible ! how could she ever imagine being pregnant and time travel like that.. Its too dangerous! Too.. Wrong..
She was fuming with anger when I told her I am never going to try anything with her.. I know this speech killed her inside.. But I wanted her alive.. more than I wanted a child..


At this moment.. An old woman appeared in my room naked and it immediately killed my train of thoughts. Seeing that old woman, I smiled with relive.. I knew that Clare in the future, would be alive till she's THIS old.. And it was probably because of my decisions that kept her alive.


"oh Clare.." It was cold.. I hurried to grab my towel around my waist and wrapped it around her.. But before I could reach her in time, Clare (wrinkled-free Clare), walked into the bedroom.
She stared at me with a pain-strikened look.


"Oh Gees, HENRY !! You are SICK !! An OLD woman!?! " Clare yelled. There wasn't much to explain when you are naked in a room with an old lady, who was naked as well. And I can tell that Clare is utterly disgusted by this scene.


"I-I can explain ! " I was desperate for words.. And I was coming up with many to explain this.. But none of them was forming into a right sentence..


"THAT is why you don't want babies? Cause you are having an affair with THIS woman ?"


Oh man.. How can she believe that I would give up HER for HER... They are both the same woman! The woman I love!


This time.. Clare suddenly became quiet as she stared at the old Clare.

"Henry... Is.. Is she bleeding?"

Both of us noticed that the old woman hands was stained with blood... SHE was Bleeding and shivering?! She is hurt ?! My Clare is hurt!?


"Call 911 !! Get some warm water and some towels, Clare! She is you! She is you when u are old! We need to save her !! " I panicked, but I know I have to remain calm.. For Clare.. For my old beautiful wife who was shivering with hands filled with blood..
I watched as she was trying to say something.. I was not ready to hear her last words.. These can't be it.. She can't be dying!!


"shh.. Honey, don't speak.. help in on its way.. Hang on.... HANG ON!!" I reassured her..


I saw the frustration building in her eyes as she stuttered in a loud yell,
