Uncovered and Discovered

“I was wondering why you waited so long to tell me the truth. Why did you wait until

now? Until I proposed to you?”

“John, you did not listen to me in the first place. You never listened when I said that I

have to tell you something about me and now it has come to this point."

“Well had you been upfront from the beginning, on our first date then we would not this conversation right now.”

“So, you mean to tell me that you would have still gone out with me if I had told you

from the very beginning who I was?”

“I am not saying that. I am not sure what it is you are talking about, but I am saying

that I would have given you a chance. Depending how bad it is what you want to tell

me. I am proposing to you, so I think highly of you Shana. How bad can it be what

you want to tell me? I know you now for one full year. Shana, I know you for 368 days

to be exact."

“So, John I can show you or tell you, my secret. It is up to you. What do you prefer?”

“It is a bit unsettling to know there is a thing about you that I do not know. I really

would like to see what you are talking about. Just not right here and right now.

However, I must compose myself regarding this confession and we will have to meet

another time. I really want to be prepared for what I am about to hear. Whatever it is.

You must understand that this is a scary situation because I do not know what it

could be and if I lose the woman, I love to a secret which she is holding. I have a

question for you which is imperative for you to answer honestly. The question is, are

ever really angry?”

“Hm, well, do I get angry? Thats what you want me to answer John? Yes, I get angry,

but I do not get angry like the average human gets angry. I get even and if I do

anything which I should not do then I can rewind it. Which means if I do not

physically hurt another human being, I can rewind, time. I reverse time like a video

tape."

“So you are telling me that you can get angry. and you can go back in time?"

“Yes exactly.”

“You know that this sounds quite unusual. What is it that you cannot reverse given

your disclosure of being able to reverse time. What would you have to do which

would be impossible to reverse? Shana, answer me. Quickly, no delay.”

“Murder.”

“So, you are telling me that if you would murder a human than you cannot take that

back is that correct? If you commit murder you cannot reverse time.”

“Yes, absolutely correct.”

“So, if we move forward with our relationship, how would I be able to know that you are not going back and forth, meaning that if we have an argument that you are not

 reversing the moment of the argument? Or would I ever know?”

“No, you would never know. Only I would know that is what I can do. You would

forget or never even know that anything took place.”

“Shana so you would remember the moment or the argument?’

“Yes, I would.”

“You know my dear, I really must think about our relationship and how we will be

moving forward. I have to think if I am comfortable with this situation and if I believe

what you say. You must admit this all sounds weird. I am not sure if you are mentally

stable. However, I feel in a great position of disadvantage with you.”

“Why are we speaking like we have no feelings. Why is this conversation taking an

uncomfortable turn. We are feeling, enjoying and we are in a romantic relationship.

What does all this matter and why does it matter so much to you? I can do things

which humans do not really understand. Why is it of such great importance to you to

be in a power position? It just does not make sense. If I had not told you that there is

something about me that I want you to know the night would have been fabulous.

Now you are making me angry by saying that I might have mental issues. I am telling

you the truth. I will not reverse this moment because I will always know it and I want

you to love me no matter what.”

“Oh no here we go, you said it. You can make all of this go away. Sheesh, I wish too

that this all would just be gone and not come up again. It’s a lot you know.”

“No, I do not know, and you are acting like a fool and I do not like this right now.

Matter of fact I do not like you right now.”

“Oh really.”

“Yes, really. You act like you do not know me and like I am doing something I should

not be doing. I treated you nothing, but kind and I never did anything to upset you.

 We are going out for a year now and we always spoke about marriage from the very

beginning of our relationship. What has changed now that I told you who I am?”

“What has changed? Are you kidding me?”

“Yes, I want to know what has changed and why you are making such a big deal out of

nothing?”

“Shana you are not well. What you say sounds so crazy that it is a huge deal. Don't

you get it?”

“I love you, John.”

“Gurl I really do not believe my ears right now. How can you say you love me and hold

a secret, and you do like its just another thing in life. This is a huge deal, not just a

little thing. This is enormous for me. You are telling me who you are is different from

what I know right now. You call that just a small thing? What is wrong with you? Do

you want to tell me that other people also would think that this is alright and just

 another thing in life?”

“Why are men so difficult? It does not matter if they are like me or if they are human.

Men seem to be all the same way. Oversensitive.”

“You call me oversensitive?”

“Yes, you are oversensitive Mr. John. And you are way out of line.”

“Excuse me princess Shana, but you are the one who is way out of line here. I was not

the one hiding an important aspect of my personality and upbringing from you. It

 was you who after one year dating and me proposing to you just told me a very

important aspect of your personality. Well, it is a little more than just your

personality. It truly is DNA, genetics, culture, possibility, education, status and so

much more.”

“You humans overthink, overuse and overdo everything. Humans destroy this

beautiful planet with their insanity and greed, their unkindness and anger and you

want to call me inappropriate just because I left out this little thing about myself?”

“Little thing?”

“Yes, Mr. John. Little thing. You heard correctly and there is no reason to repeat what

I have said. I said little thing, little thing, little thing and I am angry, angry, angry, right

 now.”

“Oh no. Can you please lower your voice, Shana. The other guests in the restaurant

are turning their heads. I feel they are all staring at us. I think we must stop this

conversation. I ask for the check, and we leave. I need to go home relax and think

about this.”

“Fine!”

“Shana, would you like me to drop you off at home?”

“After, you seem to worry about my personality and you are no longer sure about me,

I will make my way home without you. I prefer the fresh air over your stuffy car.”

“As you wish princess.”

“Princess? You keep the comments to yourself, John. You are pathetic. I must go now.”

“Shana!”

“There is nothing I have to say to you John but that you are pathetic and behave like a

little child not like a grown man. So long John.”

“I call you tomorrow, Shana.”

“For what you? Aren’t you afraid calling a witch?”

“Princess, I only want to think about all of this. Sleep on it.”

“Stop calling me princess why don’t you just call me what you really want to call me

since I told you who I am?”

“Shana, you do not know what I want to call you. Now, you are acting like a child.

“Careful darling, lower your voice, the rest of the guests in the restaurant are looking

at us. Wait! I take my broomstick out of my purse, open it up, hop onto it and make

them stare and scream because they see me fly off into the night right from this

patio. Bye now.”
