A Time Traveller's Tale: Radio, Music, Strange Past

It's been two months and Aria still can't accept that her fiance is dead, he died in a plane crash coming back from a business trip. Aria would work so hard during the day and cry at night, about the fact that she should have held him back when he was leaving, she blamed herself.

Her closest friend tried all she could to make her live normal again but Aria was adamant and won't accept to live a life without Roy, her fiance. As her usual routine, Aria began to think about her fiance and all what he did for her, crying while trying to fall asleep, her eyes caught something.

It was an old box she remembered Roy made it during his spare time, he was a good furniture designer. She had never thought to look into what was in the box but that night, the box was opened a bit like it was calling her to check it. Aria stopped crying, opened it and found a fine radio.

Aria burst into more tears when the radio played a song they would both listen to whenever they were together. As the song played, she slowly fell into sleep on the floor a bit from her bed. In her sleep, she found herself listening to the same song in a moving bus. She was alone in the bus.

Before Aria could understand what was happening, the bus hit a big rock and she died immediately, opened her eyes to a middle aged lady looking at her with worried eyes. Aria recognised the lady to be her aunt but what she couldn't get was how come her aunt was alive.

Before she could ask questions, her aunt started saying all the things she had heard before a long time ago when she was still in college. It turned out she had time traveled to 1992 from 2025, the year she was in her final year at college and the same year she had an accident long before.

A cold chill went down her body as she began to wonder how come such a thing could happen to her. She went home with her aunt and the next day was school, she had to act as normal as she could as nobody would believe that she really time travelled back in time. It was weird to her.

On her first day at school, Aria recognised a school boy who looked exactly like her dead fiance, Roy. Intrigued but not sure what was going on, she tried all her best to get close to Greg, her fiance look alike. While Greg acted all shocked and strange about her behaviour towards him at first, he fell even harder for her.

As they grew closer, Aria begin to see everything about her dead fiance in Greg, not knowing he was actually her real fiance but he also time traveled after his dead and had to answer a name he thought he had given up a long time ago. Aria couldn't dare listen to the radio again so she could keep seeing her Roy but things changed.

Greg made her listen to the song again and she went back into the future, as she was crying in her room after realizing everything is back to normal, Roy opened the door and came in to hug her confirming that he never died but he would have to live with a different ID since he's dead on papers. And their love story continues...
