The car was driving fast. It was an Audi R8 moving fast on the road of England with two passengers- Joe Rosamund and Emma brown, in a relationship. Joe was enjoying the moment, but Emma was scared. The fear can be seen on her face, not because Joe was driving fast, but because he had just passed the driving test and had no prior experience driving on the road. Emma requested to slow the car, but Joe ignored her and continued driving.
They had been in the relationship for the last eight months, and there had been various occasions when Joe had ignored Emma and taken her for granted. The story starts with Joe proposing to Emma at the end of college and promising to take care of her. The relationship started on a happy note, with both caring for each other. Soon, they got the job and went to different cities. Emma went to Nottingham, and Joe went to Bristol. The relationship became a burden from the stage of responsibility. Joe becomes less caring, ignoring calls from Emma and focussing on his work and new friends at work. The same situation went on for a long time, rounding to tonight when Emma came to meet Joe on the occasion of his 25th birthday.
"Please stop. I am scared. You are driving too fast". Screamed Emma.
"It's not that fast, and I can handle that. I have got my driving license", told Joe in the response, in a very flippant tone.
Emma was over the head, as she was frustrated with him and their relationship stage. Emma tolerated him because of her love and affection for Joe, but things were getting out of hand as the day passed.
The car reached 120 mph and had to stop abruptly after hearing the siren of police. An officer stopped his bike and called Joe through his window.
"Sir, you were driving too fast on the road with the speed limit of 60 mph", inquired the officer.
"Sorry, Officer, I was not able to read the speed sign," replied Joe taking the matter lightly.
Emma looked at his face and couldn't believe how he took these matters so lightly.
"Sorry, sir, I signaled you too as I have been running with you for the last 5 minutes", replied the officer, smelling his breath, "you are drunk. You have to go to jail".
Emma was surprised as she didn't notice Joe was drunk. Joe was taken to jail overnight before being released in the morning with a hefty fine of 200 pounds, considering it his first mistake.
Joe reached Emma, trying to hug her, but she refused and threw her first gift on his face.
"We are over. I don't want to be with you", told Emma in a sad tone and went away.
"Ok, then go. I also have no interest in being with you", screamed Joe at her as she was going on the opposite way.
In this way, eight months long relationship came to an end. Joe had no grief, thinking he would be with another and would start the relationship in a much better way.
Days passed, and Joe became a drug addict, lost his job, and spent all the time sleeping in his room. One night, he was asleep when he saw a white-dressed person covered with white smoke standing in the corner of the room. He got scared and hid under the blanket.
"Who are you? Are you going to kill me? "asked Joe in complete fear.
"No, I am not going to kill you. I am here to grant you a wish to get a lover which you desire a lot", replied the white figure laughing.
"How means how it is even possible," inquired Joe, coming over the blanket.
"I am truly not happy with your situation right now and will grant you a wish to get a lover with whom you can start your life again," told the white figure.
"If you are the messiah who will change my life, please help me get out of the situation," requested Joe.
"I will, I certainly will. But there is a condition or a situation that you must take care of." replied the figure.
"What is the condition of the messiah?" asked Joe.
"I am not allowed to tell the condition, but I think you will soon figure it out", replied the figure.
Joe had no other options. He is currently a drug addict with no family to support. He lost his parents due to cancer and no younger or older brother and sister to help him. Thus, he has to move forward with the wish.
"I wish this is for the best. I have no other options. Please help me improve my life", said Joe.
"Ok then, I grant you a completely new life, starting from tomorrow morning," said the figure and waved his hand. A bright white light came and soon disappeared. Joe wakes up from the bed, thinking of it as some dream.
"Oh god, this was a dream. How can something good happen to me?" cried Joe.
Day 1
A call came to him. He picked up. A girl screamed from the other side, “Where are you? I am waiting for you at the crossing, come fast”.
Joe was surprised because till yesterday, he had no one to call, and now he was getting a call from a random girl. He checked his phone; her name was Christine, Christine Hall.
“Hey Christine, sorry I am coming,” replied Joe.
“Come fast, or I will be furious,” told Christine and hung up the phone.
Joe was delighted; The Messiah had granted his wish.
“Fuck you, I don’t need you anymore”, screamed Joe thinking about Emma.
He rushed to the crossing and saw a beautiful girl sitting on the roadside waiting for him. He waved off, and the girl saw and came near him.
“Why are you late? You promised me you would never be late”, asked Christine.
“Sorry, I was on my work call late at night, and because of which, I woke up late,” replied Joe.
“I don’t want to hear any excuse, please don’t be late from tomorrow or else we are no more,” told Christine.
They sat down around the table to eat food. They ate the food, and after finishing it, Christine asked, “are you ready for tonight’s party at the Johns hotel?”
“Yes...Yes, I am”, replied Joe in hesitation.
“What had happened to you? Why are you behaving so casually? Don’t behave like that at the party tonight”, ordered Christine.
It was a shock for Joe, but he kept it because he had finally found someone to talk to, care for, and to love.
Joe paid the bill, and they went shopping. It was all Christine during the time, and Joe started being frustrated. He never let Christine feel he was frustrated, but inside him was telling a different story.
After four and a half hours of shopping, they went to joe room. His room was still in the same condition as the previous day.
“What the fuck happened to the room, and how unorganized is it?” asked Christine in a disgusting tone.
“I will clear it. Please sit down”, told Joe.
“See, I don’t care about your drugs and other stuff. Please at least clean your room before calling me here,” told Christine.
It broke his heart, and he started remembering Emma as she never behaved like that in front of him.
“Ok, I am cleaning the stuff,” told Joe.
The room got cleaned, and they got ready for the party.
“We will be going in your Audi R8. It will be glamorous, and people will look at us”, told Christine.
Joe was not feeling good about her behaviour, but he couldn’t do anything as he desperately needed love.
He took his Audi out, and they went to the hotel party in the vehicle. Joe met Emma’s friends, who were not interested in talking with him.
He went inside, observing Christine engaged with her friend leaving him alone. He went to the party and talked with different people.
It was almost midnight, and he could not find Christine at the party. He searched for her everywhere, still not able to find her. He went to the washroom. While in front of the mirror and thinking about her new relationship, he heard some noise from one of the doors. He went through the door, looked through the keyhole, and was shocked. Christine was in an awkward position with one of her friends, James.
He shouted at the door, “Open the door. I know what you are doing here”.
He banged hard at the door.
James came out in angry mode, behind him Christine in a scared state.
“What is happening between you two?” inquired Joe.
“What the fuck is it to do with you?” told James casually.
Joe was heartbroken, and Christine acted as if she was under depression and scared. People started giving Joe an aggressive look. He ran away from the party in his car to the room and cried all night, thinking about the incident.
Day 2:
He woke up with the phone ringing. It was Christine's call. He took the call.
"Why have you called me after the last night's incident at john's hotel and with James" cried Joe.
"What the fuck, what happened, and for your information, we have to go to the party tonight, and I don't know James or any related person," replied Christine.
Joe was surprised, but he remembered the consequences of the figure.
"Might be I am under some kind of time loop. What the fuck!" screamed Joe.
"What?" asked Christine.
"Oh, sorry, nothing, I was talking with you," replied Joe.
"Ok, whatever, come fast and don't be late," ordered Christine.
He rushed to the crossing and saw a Christine sitting on the roadside waiting for him. He waved off. She saw and came near him.
"Why are you late? You promised me you would never be late", asked Christine.
"Sorry, I woke up late," replied Joe.
"Ok, that was straight, don't be late from tomorrow," told Christine smiling.
They sat down around the table to eat food. They ate the food, and after finishing it, Christine asked, "are you ready for tonight's party at the Johns hotel?"
"Yes, I am, love," replied Joe in hesitation.
"Oh, I think you are quite ready for the party. But don't screw up my reputation there", ordered Christine.
Joe paid the bill, and they went shopping. It was all Christine during the time, and Joe started being frustrated again.
After four and a half hours of shopping, they went to joe room. His room was still in the same condition as the previous day.
"What the fuck happened to the room, and how unorganized is it?" asked Christine in a disgusting tone.
"I will clear it. Please sit down", told Joe.
"See, I don't care about your drugs and other stuff. Please at least clean your room before calling me here," told Christine.
It again broke his heart, but this time he was ready.
"Ok, I am cleaning the stuff," told Joe.
The room got cleaned, and they got ready for the party.
"We will be going in your Audi R8. It will be such a glamor, and people will be looking at us", told Christine.
He took his Audi out, and they went to the hotel party in the vehicle. Joe met Emma's friends, who were not interested in talking with him.
He went inside, observing Christine engaged with her friend leaving him alone. He went to the party and talked with different people.
Again at midnight, he came and banged at the door. Same situation, and he ran to his room.
"I am now fully prepared. I know I can change the situation", thought Joe and went to sleep.
Day 3:
The day started with Christine calling, shopping, and attending a party. This time joe went along with Christine with her friends. Standing outside, they saw a handsome man coming out of his Lamborghini urus.
"How handsome he is" screamed Christine.
Joe was surprised as he did all he could to make Christine attracted to him. It was not working, as if she thought he did not exist.
"Baby, can I go with my friend to meet James," asked Christine.
He could not stop her, she went anyway, and the same thing happened.
Day 4:
The same thing happens, and they are into the john hotel. This time Joe took all the friends inside as he wanted to avoid her meeting James. She scrambled to see someone. Joe saw it, and it was again James.
"Baby, can I go with my friend to meet James," asked Christine.
He could not stop her, she went anyway, and the same thing happened.
For the next few days, he tried different ways to prevent Christine from meeting James, but at all the possibilities, she went to meet him, and the result was the same. The event started frustrating him, and he tried doing drugs but stopped eventually.
"It will be best if I go and meet Emma to explain to her the situation," thought Joe.
The next day, he packed his bag and went directly to Nottingham to Emmaemma's room without receiving a call from Christine.
He banged the door, Emma opened the door, and both saw each other. A moment of silence broke between them by the voice of Emma, "Why are you here?" she asked gently.
"Sorry Emma, I wanted to talk something to you. Please, it is severe", requested Joe.
"But everything is over between us," told Emma.
"I know, and I will not force you. Please let me", requested Joe.
She let him come. He sat on a dining table chair. Emma sat in front of him.
"So, what happened? Why remember me?" asked Emma.
"I know you will not believe me. But I cannot find someone to talk to about the situation. I became a drug addict and lost my job when you left. During that time, a messiah came and granted my wish to get the most beautiful lady as my partner with consequences. I agreed, but the same turned into a disaster. She cheated on me each day because the consequence was that I would be living in a 24-hour love loop. I know it is hard to digest, but the next day, it will reset, and I will again wake up from my bed. Sorry, I know this is unbelievable", told Joe in one breath.
Emma listened to him calmly and said, "Why would I not believe in you."
"What," Joe asked in surprise.
"You might be bad and not behaved well for the last few months in the relationship because of which we broke up, but you are not a lier," told Emma.
"Thank you, and I regret each moment. What should I do now, how to break the loop" asked Joe.
"If the loop started with your condition and your behavior towards your previous partner, it might change by altering your behavior in these fields." Told Emma.
Joe understood the situation.
"Thank you so much," Joe said and returned to bristol and his room.
He cleaned up the room, never returned the call from Christine, and went to sleep, waiting for the day to be over.
The last day?:
He woke up, cleaned the room from the condition, went directly to Nottingham, and met Emma. He was surprised to see Emma with someone else.
"Hey Emma, I came to talk to you about something.", told Joe, seeing the other person.
"Hey Joe, I thought we had moved in our life. And for an introduction, he is Chris and Chris he is Joe, my ex", told Emma, introducing them in between.
"Hey Joe, Thank you for being with her in her worst time. She thanked you a lot while talking about you", told Chris.
"Thank you, Chris. Can I talk to Emma for a moment, alone" asked Joe.
"Sure, I will be at the parking lot," replied Chris.
Chris went from the scene, and now Emma and Joe were together in the background.
"How is it possible, when I met you yesterday, you were not in a relationship, and now during reset again, you are," asked Joe.
"What you are talking about, we are meeting for the first time after the breakup, and for your information, I have moved on," replied Emma.
It was hard for Joe to take on, but from the loop, he has learned one thing: you have no control over the situation.
"Yes, I understand, and this is all because of my carelessness. I never cared about you during the relationship, and now also I am being selfish, but no more. I came to say best of luck to you with your new relationship. Hope I can be a best friend at least", told Joe.
"Joe, you are the best person I have met till now. Despite losing your parents, you have reached here, supported me, and made me what I am, but you must understand love is not about how good you have been. It is about giving fully to the other one. Both have their desire and expectation, and you must at least try to work for those expectations and desires. I know you will find someone great, someone much better than me, but the truth is it's not me. I have already moved on. Love never gives a second chance; a lover can. I waited, but you never came to say sorry", told Emma.
"I know, and I will remember the mistake for the rest of my life. Thank you for supporting me when no one was there. I will never forget your contribution", told Joe.
They smiled, and both went their separate way.
Joe stopped doing drugs and other nasty stuff. He went for a job interview and got a job in a good company with his knowledge and experience.
He went to sleep peacefully and woke up. To ensure the loop's exit, he checked the phone for Christine, and there was. THE LOOP WAS STILL ON.
