The dopple ganger

Jun xie's POV

There is this legend that says each person is made of two halves. Each being has another like himself. But it is said that if you were to meet your other half, both entities dies.

Are you serious? But how do we meet the other half? Yumi asked innocently

I'm not sure I've never met my dopple ganger before. I smiled

Oh. she repied.

My best friend was the naive sort. She was easily fooled by anyone. She believed what anyone said and is easily startled and amazed. But her kindness was her best character trait. After bullying her you feel like you've done the worst sin in the world. You'd regret it as the guilt would eat you alive.

How strange, if I met my dopple ganger I'd introduce her to you! But I wonder if she is shy? Oh what if she doesn't like me? Yumi asked sincerly

But if you meet your other half you'll die. How are you going to show her to me? I replied jokingly

"Ah right!" She smacked her head in agreement

I just smiled at her. Yumi was so cute. I am going to miss that girl. Today would be our last day in school together. Heck it wasn't even a class it was a graduation dance. Whilst everyone was at the hall dancing, Yumi and I made our way to the rooftop. To take a breather. Yumi was so popular with everyone. I admit i don't like to share.

Hey Jun look at that star! If that star grants wishes what would you ask for? Yumi muttered in pure amazement

I'd ask for more time. I replied honestly

Time? Eh why?

Because 24 hours a day isn't enough for me.

Really? Hmm that's a weird thing to wish for. How many hours more do you wish for then?

Much more than now. The longer the better. I laughed she didn't get me. She stared back at me puzzled.

You sure are a busy person Jun.

What do you wish for then? i asked to cut the awkward misunderstanding between us and also out of curiousity

I wish i could meet my dopple ganger. She said while smirking.

So basically you wish to die?

No. But i want to see how I am from another person's point of view.

You could just ask me you know.

Ah right. But I'd like to judge for myself still. She said before falling asleep in my arms.

Yumi's POV

Three years later.

Ah i'm tired. Medical school sure is tiring. Essay on the theory of the animal evolution 100 pages? Mr Won is crazy! I made my way to Starbucks. And ordered the usual mocha frapacino. Until he caught my eye. He look so much like me just that his hair was short and he was a guy. Instantly, i felt a great connection and without my reliazation i was following him. He made his way deep in the city park in front of the lake. And hummed a tune that was somewhat familliar.

That's a nice melody. i commented out of pure admiration, the song was beautiful though i've never heard it before.

He stared at me for a brief moment. He was taking every part of me in. I could feel it in his deep gaze.

Are we related in anyway? He asked shocked by my appearance.

I don't think so but i feel like i know you from somewhere. I said mesmerized

Actually i feel the same way too. But i don't think i ever met you before. What's your name?

I'm Yumi you?

He gave me a shocked face.

What? Don't tell me your name is Yumi as well? I replied not knowing what to expect. He let out a laugh which melodiously echoed in the city park.

No but quite closely related. My name's Yuki. See yumi and yuki. Yu. We sound good together. He admitted while laughing and blushing.

Actually we sound like twins. I blushed.

True. How weird meeting a girl like me in one day not knowing her yet i feel like i've known you my entire life.

Really?

Cross my heart. he said

And hope to spy. I replied. And smiled thinking he would not understand.

Eh you read that book too?

Yup it's my favourite book.

Me too. Oh my god, what else do you like?

Um i like mocha frapacino with whipped cream all the way to the top. i prefer my toast without crust. And i like pizza wit-

Without anything except the soft bread and layers of cheese? he interrupted.

Yep! i smiled. But i have one question though, the melody you were humming just now what song is it?

I honestly don't know but i just came up with it before you came. I take the music course at the phonix college.

Oh really? i study in medicine the whittleburgh college.

I was just so facinated by him it was like we complete the puzzle. Peas in the same pod. I enjoyed his company alot. I felt like i found my other half.

Jun Xie's POV

Three years and eight days later.

It was Yumi's birthday today. I was going to suprise her by bringing her to the Music feastival. But she never picked up her cell. Eight days ago when i was waiting for her to have dinner she didn't show.So I decided to stop over by her house to check up her. It's been years since i last stepped into her apartment. I knocked. No one replied. Door opened on its own so i made my way in. Only to be shocked by yumi and some guy on the floor face down in unatural positions. I think they passed out. I carried yumi first to her room. When i touched her she was burning. I made sure she was comfortable in her bed before attending to the guy. I turned him around to see his face. Shocked i dropped him. He looked exactly like yumi just as a guy. And, like yumi, he was burning as well. I carried him to the couch in yumi's room.

Is- yu- yumi ok? he asked.

She's fine you better take care of yourself first, who are you anyway? i replied bitterly

Boy- . . . friend. He said before passing out.

How could it be that she would get together with some other guy and not me? Why? i repeated in my throbbing head. Whilst taking care of her temperature. It was crazy her temperature was 42 degrees. No human could survive such high temperatures. I desperately searched online for a solution to their weird demise. I tried Hay fever, Flu, H1N1. Heck i even tried AIDs. Nothing. I stayed with them till the clock struck midnight I felt a hand on my shoulder. It's presence not of a human.

Shouldn't you be sleeping as well? The voice questioned my presence. I turned towards the voice shocked i could not respond.

It was the grim reaper in person right before my very eyes. The black robe, the scythe, the skull with yellow glowing eyes.

Oh Maybe your not apart of them? Strange. Are you related to any of them? Blood related or anything?

B-b Best Friend. Yumi. I could barely reply i was about to piss in my pants.

Friend? Do you like this human girl?

I nodded afraid to deny it. To think only the grim reaper could get me to admit. I like yumi. No i loved her.

Ah no wonder you still remember them.

The grim reaper waved his hand and instantely yumi and the guy woke up.

Hi guys! You're scheduled to heaven in the morning tomorrow. He said to them calmly

What? You mean i'm dead? yumi asked in horror.

Yes except that guy. He pointed to me

Yumi is dead? Why? Please explain! I didn't care i demanded an explaination.

Yumi and Yuki right? They nodded.

Have you noticed that you two are so alike your almost twins? Yet you're not blood related at all? Well you are a part of a whole. However in your case which is special. It happens that you're split uniquely. Usually humans such as yourselves has a other half. Called Dopple ganger.

Yumi looked at me surprised. So it's true then. She said

What dear? The grim reaper asked

That each person has another half and that if you meet you'll die. Yuki replied shocked as well.

Well that's true that rule applies to all creations. However in your case, you were made in different genders usually it is identical. The person who sees their dopple ganger thinks that their other half is just a mere reflection of themselves. As people nowadays are to busy to notice their surroundings. Mirrors are actually portals to your other half. However if they are not of the same gender then the chances that they would notice each other is higher and that would disrupt the balance.

But why are there dopple gangers. What purpose do they serve? I asked curiously

Someone who has not died should not know but i'll tell you anyway it's not like you'll remember after tonight. You see, like the chinese term Yin and Yang. Each person must have another. To balance. Good with Evil which would equal to peace. You can't have only one of something. The grimreaper said frankly

All of us were too shocked to react. Yumi was stoning. I couldn't believe it. The rumor was true, the person i loved is dead. The grim reaper was actually in front of me in person. Yuki was yumi's boyfriend.

Yes human i exist. Alive enough to be standing in front of you. The grimreaper replied as if he heard what i was thinking. I shruged.

So if we are dead what will happen to us and the people who knows us? It would be weird if we just disappeared like that right? Yuki Asked i agreed

Intelligent one. You get sent to heaven and will be paid for your malfunction in full. As for the people who knew you they would basically forget you ever existed. All recorded traces of your existance would be erased. So the balance would not be disrupted.

Paid in full? Both yumi and yuki questioned

You would become angels instantly. Usually people who die start in hell and work their way up. But you instantly become angels basically. So say your goodbyes. Midnight is coming.

I faced yumi. I refused to accept it. With teary eyes she turned to me. Before opening her mouth to say what she wanted, i interupted.

Sir can't i at least die as well? Life without yumi is. . . i paused. And i know your secret wouldn't it be disrupting the "balance" if i knew?

You wouldn't! Yuki glared at me.

I would! i'd tell everyone! i snapped. Yumi hugged me. And cried.

Jun you have to let go there's no other way. You'll be ok! You'll find a better best friend out there. She pleaded. Tears started to flow from my eyes.

But I- I. I hesitated.

11. 58 pm

Two more minutes. Do you have any wishes? yumi? yuki? said the grim reaper.

Yuki said i hope my family would be well taken care of. Financially and in health. And i wish to be with yumi always. The grim reaper nodded.

Yumi spoke I hope Jun would forget me and do the best in his life always.

No yumi! NO! i screamed.

Granted. It's midnight. Let's go.

They nodded. As yumi kept on hugging me. i refused to let go.

I love you yumi please, please don't go. Please don't leave me. I muttered

She smiled as she mouthed out i loved you too. But no sound was heard. As i held tightly to her hand i realized that they were starting to fade. Getting more and more translucent to the naked eye. Soon i couldn't even hold her hand. It was see through and i couldn't feel her any more. I cried even harder. Reaching out for her as she stood up. She smiled at me and mouthed "take care" before disappearing into thin air.
