All those strange rumours that wanted so many ladies to try as hard as possible to win Basch’s heart were in fact true but every single of them failed and none of them knew what they did wrong.
“He is so cute I want him to be mine” said one of the three ladies that were standing nearby.
“He may not be a prince but he surely looks like one and i bet that he’s also rich” . the second girl replied.
“But he never notices us no matter how hard we try to get his attention”. replied the third woman.
They saw him coming towards them but soon they got disappointed since he continued his way that He felt that these ladies were rather interested on his appearance and his money rather than him as a person. And it was obvious that he had no clue to fall in love with any gold digger.
In fact he was quite handsome around 21 years old with chin length blonde and forest green eyes. He was wearing a pair of long navy blue trousers , a white shirt and a black belt. He had a pair of black leather shoes on his feet too.
But that day it seemed that good luck was by his side. The day that he would meet his other half.
During that day it was so sunny , that he decided to go outside for a walk instead of staying inside all day long.
Suddenly he saw a girl around 21 years old the same age with him, coming towards him.
She was the most beautiful young woman , he saw in his whole life. She had long curly hair which were decorated with a laurel crown and beautiful green eyes that matched his. Her outfit included a long pink ancient Greek dress, golden jewelry and a pair of sandals. She was so stunning that she looked more like a goddess than a human.
And that was the moment when the arrows of Eros had already found their target.
Green eyes met green eyes and it was already obvious for both of them: it was love at first sight and these two were totally made for eachother and meant to be together.
The girl approched the boy and asked him with a lively voice while she seemed impressed by him : “Hello handsome young man, what’s your name?”
The boy immediately answered : “My name is Basch. And what’s your name my pretty lady?”
The lady looked at him and told him: “what a nice name, really. My name is Antigone and i’m glad to see you”.
Very soon Basch and Antigone started talking to eachother and they both realised that they might have entangled in all sorts of feelings they hadn’t bargained for.
They seemed to have fun , when suddenly it become dark and both of them should return to their homes.
Basch took out of surprise Antigone’s hand and kissed it, while he whisper : “Good Night delight, I hope to see you tomorrow”.
Antigone blushed hearing these words from Basch’s mouth and she responded to him whispering : “ I hope the same for both of us , as well”.
None of them was in relationship before meeting eachother and start developing feelings for one another.
This newly born love seemed like a lovely dream for both of them which nothing could destroy.
But one was sure for the young man. He would make the young woman his, no matter what will happened next.
The following day, Antigone for one moment tried to asume if her meeting with Basch yesterday was actually real or just a dream.
The Greek woman’s deepest desire is to see that Swiss man again and feel her heart skipping a beat.
When she woke up she started her daily routine and during the afternoon she waited for him to come.
Very soon Antigone would come up with such a lovely surprise. It was no other than Basch himself who greeted her with a smiling yet shy face.
When he saw her , he told her:
“Guten Morgen, schöne”
Antigone looked at him and she responded to him as well :
“Kaliméra, glykié mou”
He was so excited to hear those beautiful words from the girl who stole his heart. They both wanted to know eachother better.
Very soon an interesting conversation started between them and all the feelings that they had for eachother were starting to get stronger and stronger.
Basch loved the way that Antigone talked. She sounded full of life something that he really liked. She would even philosophize , a habit which both her one year younger sister Nausicaä and herself got from their mother Danae.
“Stay here , darling. I will be back in a minute” Basch told Antigone and went towards a place with many roses. The young girl waited for him patiently without complaining because she knew that he wasn’t lying to her or tried to play with her feelings.
He later returned with a smile on his face and he had both of his hands behind his back.
“What are you hidding behind your back?” she asked him having a smile on her face.
The smile on Basch’s face became wider when he showed her a beautiful red rose, those given by someone to the person they are in love with.
For a moment Antigone looked at the beautiful red rose and took it from his hand. Her smile became brighter than before.
She took the courage and told him with a sweet and clear voice:
“Until now, nobody gave me something so beautiful.Thank you so much darling.”
“You are welcome my delight. I would even spend all my money for you.”
“Really? that’s so sweet of you.Now i know that i didn’t fall for the wrong person.”
“Of course. I would rather lose all of my money than losing you.”
The couple had such beautiful moments together until it became dark and it was time to return back to their homes.
Some minutes before leaving the Swiss boy said to the Greek girl:
“Tommorow i am going to take you to an magnificent place that you will definitely like.”
“I am already excited for this. I can’t wait for the moment to come.” she responded to him
“Good Night, sweetheart. See you the next day” he said to her.
“Good Night to you as well my dear. I’ll wait for you tommorow” she answered him back.
When the young woman returned home, she went towards her bedroom and after getting undressed since the weather was hot during that time, she layed on her bed and tried to close her eyes.
In fact she would do anything to see the man that she loved with all her heart and soul. A relationship that she would feel beautiful and protected from anything that wanted to harm her.
Now that she already knew that the person she loved, was telling her the truth and didn’t lie to her or played with her feelings like a kid playing with its toys, she soon fell in Morpheus arms with a feeling that combined happiness and satisfication together.
The time for the first date of Basch and Antigone had finally come. The weathered was so nice during that afternoon that nobody would like to stay inside their homes.
Antigone sat in a bench nearby and waited for Basch to come. He didn’t forget the promise he gave her and came right on his time.
“Greetings to you,meine Schönheit ” he said smiling.
“Hello there, palikàri mou” she answered him happily as well.
Few seconds later they took eachother’s hand and started walking together, still having those bright smiles on their own faces.
The distance they walked was long but still it didn’t make them tired. Until they arrived to a garden that they found nearby. And it looked like a wonderful dream.
Few moments later Antigone felt her legs aching from walking for long time and asked Basch with her usual sweet voice:
“I feel tired and my legs are hurt. Could you please carry me and sit somewhere together?”
The young man couldn’t deny it to her and he immediately responded to the young lady:
“Of course my love, how can i deny it to you?”
He took her in his arms, carrying her like a princess and they sat on the first bench they could find.
Very soon they learned about eachothers families. Basch had a younger sister around 16 years old, named Erika. Antigone had a younger sister around 20 years old called Nausicaä.
Their sisters started dating two cute boys as well. Erika’s boyfriend name was Raivis and he was around 15 years old. Nausicaä’s boyfriend was called Pancrazio and he was around 18 years old.
Some time later Antigone’s smile was replaced by a sorrowful expression. Basch looked at her and asked her?
“My darling, what did happened and you are so sad? Don’t you like the place i chose for our date?”
“No it isn’t that. I am afraid that our love will be forbidden and we won’t be allowed to talk or even see eachother again. I don’t want to be with someone who will treat me as nothing but a souless puppet who only obeys its master”
When Basch heard it, he took his right hand on Antigone’s right cheek and made her look at him.
“I won’t this allow happen. I can’t treat you like that, because i love you. Before meeting you, there was no woman that would fit to be my other half. They all seemed to plain for me.”
“I love you as well. I want to stay forever by your side” she told him while that sad expression of hers faded away.
She smiled again and leaned to him and he smiled back to her as well, while both having a feeling of tenderness inside their hearts.
And as the hours were passing the more they were falling in love with eachother and the more would their feelings grown inside of them while been fascinated from eachother.
It was the time that he always wanted to do this since he met her.Basch leaned down, closing his eyes and put his own lips shyly on Antigone’s lips and kissed her while she kissed him back blushing and feeling ready to explode as she felt butterflies in her stomach.
The kiss so lovely that made them feel like they were inside a beautiful dream.
When they finally broke from the kiss they looked at eachother more blushed than they were before.But they knew that started becoming dark and couldn’t stay there forever.
They got up from the bench and started walking side by side while holding eachother’s hand.
At one moment, the Greek woman looked at the Swiss man’s eyes and set him the following question:
“Would you like to stay at my house as a guest?” she asked him
“You know it very well that i can’t say no to such a beautiful woman like you” he responded to her.
They continued walking until they arrived to a villa that almost looked like a palace.
As soon as they entered the house they went to the girl’s bedroom. The bed was actually big enough for two people, so that wasn’t a problem for them.
They took their clothes off and after saying goodnight to one another, they slept completely naked on eachother’s hug while Basch leaned his arm protectively towards Antigone, something that made her feel loved.
It had already been one week since the time Basch and Antigone have met and fell in love with eachother and day by day this love became much stronger than it was before.
Even their families and friends were actually very happy about their relationship and they supported it as better as they could.
In fact no one of them was against it or tried to think of a plan to torn them apart .
Deep inside their hearts there was only one thing , they were scared of: their ways getting separated and never seeing one another again. And this was something that none of them wanted.
And they didn’t need words to show their love. Because they mostly showed it with small but still good deeds.
They tried their best not to pick any fights with eachother, even for such unimportant things.
Everytime they faced any problems, they tried to think of a more peaceful solution, rather than getting into pointless arguments.
One beautiful day while the couple was walking side by side holding eachother’s hand, a tall man around his late 40s to late 50s appeared whose face was so scary looking, appeared from nowhere and looked absolutely disgusted on how the pair was so loving towards one another.
The same man hated seeing couples being so romantic with one another because he thought women as objects who couldn’t do anything by themselves and always had to obey the demands of the men.
So he took Antigone’s hand dragged it with such violence, that made her scream. But he didn’t really care about it.
Hearing his girlfriend’s screams for help, Basch tried to get nearer but he lost her before his eyes. He was determined to do anything in order to be with her again, meaning that he was ready to face any danger on his way.
He promised to himself that he wouldn’t stop not even to eat, drink or sleep until he achieved his goal to save his beloved from the evil man’s hands and be with her once again.
Meanwhie Antigone missed Basch and she was worried a lot about him. The man that captured her , was treating her more like an object than a human being. She hated it and of course she hated him.
The same man , had her locked in a dark cell which only had a small bed and a window , so she wouldn’t go outside. The only time the door opened was to be given some bread and water to her.
It had been two days, since her kidnapping happened but in the young lady’s mind it seemed like it was too long.
It wasn’t only Basch who was worried about her disappearence. Antigone’s younger sister Nausicaä , after learning started feeling so sad and afraid about her sister and tears fell from her eyes.
The moment that Nausicaä’s boyfriend, Pancrazio saw her crying he immediately took her in his arms and did his best to comfort her and make her feel better. He felt the same, so he could understand why she was grieving so much. The two sisters were supportive and satisfied with eachother’s relationship with such handsome and caring boyfriends.
The following morning, after finishing his routine and without losing any precious time, Basch went immediately to find Antigone and be with her once again.
The path that he had to walk wasn’t that so simple. In fact it had many dangers that only the ones who were truely brave could face them.
Although he didn’t care how difficult the path he chose to walk was. He was determined to do everything for his love, no matter what the price may be. And nothing could stop him from achieving his goal.
Finally after a long walking he arrived into an old house and outside was that man that took the woman he loved away from him and wanted to break them up for ever.
As soon as the evil man saw Basch coming he told him with a smirk on his face:
“I am surprised that you finally made it to my place”
“Yes and i’m here to set the girl i love free from someone like you who only sees women as objects,”
“So do you want a fight? Let’s make a deal”
“What kind of deal is that?”
“If you win, i will set your girlfriend free.”
“And if i lose?”
“But if you lose she will be my slave forever and you will never see her again. You know why? Because you’ll be dead very soon”
For a few seconds Basch looked at the man and responded to him with a serious tone on his voice:
“Listen here, you old freak. I love Antigone with all my heart and soul and i will do anything to be by her side. I won’t give up and i will fight you until the end.”
The two rivals stopped talking and took their swords, ready to face eachother.
The real question was if the boy would win this battle and reunite with the girl that he stole his heart already from the very first time their eyes have met.
The fight had already started and none of the two rivals, seemed to give up that so easy, no matter how hard or difficult would it be.
Luckily Basch was smart enough and knew very well how to use a sword. Even though his rival was also good at using this weapon, this wasn’t a problem for him.
As soon as Antigone learned that the man she loved was now fighting for her, her heart started filling with such agony. What would happen to him? Would he be able to win and survive?
These and many more questions were currently torturing her own mind.
The young woman got scared to the bone and started crying. She didn’t want the love of her life to die. She wanted to do something it.
She stood up and looked from the window. It was really him. She was happy for him but scared at the same time.
As the minutes passed the battle became more fierce than before. Basch knew that he should win at every cost. Not for being worshipped but to by Antigone’s side and live their love being happy together.
“You think i’ll let a brat like you to win. That’s utterly hilarious.”
“This brat will actually kick your ass”
“So you tell me that you want to die?”
Basch didn’t even looked the man directly on the eyes or even responded to him. Instead he attacked him with his sword.
Antigone stood up and decided that sitting down and crying wouldn’t help her at all. She had to remain strong and didn’t want to seem weak especially for her soulmate.
She knew that if the love of her life lost the battle then she would end up being a slave to someone who would treat her as a soulless object. For that she had to use her brain and try to escape from that prison.
The fight still continued and it had been already an hour from when it started. Blood was mixed with blood and the young man’s fighting spirit was growing on him more.
In fact he didn’t fight to be loved. He was fighting for love. A love so sweet and true that nothing could ever torn apart.
During the whole process of the duel, Basch’s mind was on Antigone. He wanted to make sure that she was safe from any harm.
Because for him she actually was the reason that made him feel that true love really exists and not a prize to be won.
Antigone tried to think of a way to escape from the place she was imprisoned and help Basch with his fight against that man.
The young lady soon noticed that there was a key in the right wall outside and she took it using an o tree branch that she found on the floor.
When she managed to take it , she opened the door and without wasting time she went outside. She was so happy that she could breath some fresh air again.
It looked like that the duel was about to end and it was the rule that the one who lost should pay with his life.
Basch wouldn’t allow to himself to lose from a such a heartless human like monster who only saw and treated women as puppets who were unable to think or act on their own.
In the past many ladies tried to win his heart and failed but this was the first time he fell in love with a girl who also loved him back without caring about things like money or external appearance. So if anything awful happened to his girlfriend , he wouldn’t be able to forgive himself.
Antigone managed to arrive towards the point were the fight was taking place and supported Basch with everything she had knowing that it the victory would be his. She couldn’t lose her hope now.
Very soon Antigone took some stones that she found nearby and started throwing them on the villain’s back while she threw one of them on the right side of his head. Noticing this , Basch found the chance and rushed with this sword towards his opponent.
The man felt weak and lost his stamina while he feel to his knees. While he fell he told with an angry tone of his voice :
“Ok , the victory is yours. I have to admit it that you were lucky ”.
“That wasn’t luck. You were weak but your selfishness didn’t allow you to realise it”.
The man didn’t even say one work. He only blinked for a little and then he left his last breath while closing his eyes.
This was also the end of all the crimes that the man had commited during his whole life.
By the time the duel finally ended Antigone showed up and ran towards Basch who had his arms opened , calling her for a hug.
She immediately went near him and put her arms around his waist and hugged him while he was hugging her back.
He had many wounds on his body but he didn’t really care about it that so much. He was so happy that his beautiful girlfriend was safe and sound.
He hugged hair again and felt tears flowing her beautiful green eyes.
“I’m so sorry that you were put in such danger.It was my own fault. I didn’t want to you to get hurt.But still i’m so glad that you made it safely ” she whispered at him.
“I don’t regret of doing it. I’ll always be there for you and just like you always have faith on me, i’ll also have faith on you forever” he whispered back.
After these words they kissed on the lips and the kiss was so sweet that lasted for hours at least in their minds because in reality, it only lasted for few seconds, the best ones of their lives.
From that day and on , this love remained so pure that none of them dared to cheat on eachother, not even as a joke. Even if there were struggles they did their best to overcome from them. They both realised that true love will always win in the end as well.
