"Her 'Dream' is a reality hidden behind the memories.."
"Dexx"
As night falls, my head is full of dreams. Dreams that I've never dreamed of. It's a strange one. I could never guess from it.
In my dream, I saw someone looking back at me. She looked almost like me but slightly taller and whiter. She had dark-brown eyes and black hair to her shouder. When she talks, her voice sounded like a bell ringing on my ear, playing a beautiful songs. Her face doesn't seem like mine that's hiding all my problems and pain and all, my ugly side.. "Who are you??"
"Dexx, it's me.. Karmen, your ______.. Don't you recognize me??" She came toward me, dancing on the water. We're in front of a lake. The silver moon shines above us, it reflects a glisten light.
"What are you saying?? I can't hear it??"
"Oh dear, you don't remember?? I'm your ______.."
I can't hear what she's trying to say. Her voice got mixed up with something. As I looked back at her, her face looked sad. "Sorry, is this the first time we met??"
"Sheesh, you totally forgot me!! How could you?! Ah, forget it. Dexx, I know you're somewhere out there, keep yourself safe okay? I'm not there watching you. I can only come to your dreams to contact you. It's been a long time since then, we got separated. Someone took you and I was alone there. I had my partner now, though, so I won't be alone anymore. I don't know how you forgot your real name either.. You have to remember it.."
My real name?? I know myself from being born inside a shell and on the wall, my name's written there. It say, "The 'Fallen' one, Dexx".. Okay, I'm freaked out.
"My..real name??"
"Yes, you are ________, the last heir of the __________.. Maybe you couldn't hear that. Something's been troubling you, yes??"
"Yeah, sorry, Karmen.. I truly am."
"I know it will come to this.. Sigh.. My time is short here so I'll be leaving now.. Bye.. Take good care of yourself.. I'll come again soon.."
Then, she ran, dancing on the water again.. The Moon has gone, the Sun is rising up. She was gone in a blink of an eye.. Then I suddenly woke up..
"THUDD!"
"OWW!!"
"Opps.. Sorry, Valdan. I don't know you were there.." I felt so bad for hitting his nose with my hard head.
"Argh.. Yeah.. I know.. Ouch.. Did I woke you up??"
"Nope. Let me help you. Where's Ridan?"
"He has an appointment with his so-called soulmate. He'll be back at dusk."
"Ohh, I see.."
"...."
While I still helping him, I tried to think about Karmen, the girl that came to my dream last night.. It felt so real, I could still smell the same scent of the grass.
"Who is she? What is it that she wanted? Why did she know me? What's my realtionship with her? What happen back then? Separated?" Many questions popped out of my mind.
"What is it, sister?? Something's bothering you??"
"Huh?! Oh, nothing at all.."
"Really?? Then why did you hit my face with your pillow??"
"What? I didn't do ---" Then, I realized my hand was holding my pillow and his face full of feathers from the pillow. Okay, I really hitted him. Maybe when that questions came up, I went mad and kept hiting him like he's a doll.
"Opps, sorry.. So many happens in my dream and I don't know if it's real but it makes me confused and got a little mad to find it out.." I cleaned the feathers from his face.
"What is about?"
"Well, a long story....."
And then, I told him all about the strange dreams. He listened to me carefully, watching my lips moving, creating every words in his ears.
"Karmen.. I think I've heard of her waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back then.. Karmen Selenia, a great magician who wields her spear over thunder and lightning.. She, too, can created rain. There's once that people said she was the gloomiest of all but since her sister have been born, those gloom from her dissapeared as she fell in love with someone. He's still unknown. Then, destruction fell on their Grandfather's land. It was a war. The darkness spreads over countries and killed so many people. They said it was because of the newborn sister, the one that'll wields her abnormal power or gifts over the darkness and all forces of nature. People were saying that she is the cause to this calamity that befell upon their land and has to be gone. When the sister know what the people are trying to do, she left her to someone to protect her and bring her to a safe place. Then, she ran away with her partner and never been seen again.. So long have passed, nobody heards of their family nor the newborn child.. They were already dead at that time.."
As I heard the whole story, my mind's slowly turned around, trying to digest every words from him. "Is it possible or even true, that I might be the newborn child?? But it happens long ago and no one ever saw her nor their families again.."
"Dexx?? What's gotten into you?? You look pale, very pale.."
My stomach rumbled, answering the question.
"Oh, you hungry?? There's some food left on the table.. You haven't eat for awhile. It's almost dusk, y'know.."
I don't realized that the sun is going to set again. So we've been talking for hours since morning. The bright sun gleams, it looks very beautiful. I tried to stand up but then I remembered that I'm still wounded, so I fall back to the bed again.
"Sorry, I can't stand. My wounds will getting worst if I do. Mind getting some of those food for me to eat on bed?? Sorry.."
"Sure. Wait here and don't move too much, okay?? You're still fragile, sis.."
"Hey, I'm alive here and my stomach is hungry. Hehe."
"Oh, right."
Valdan run out from the room and I could hear the banging noise on the outside. "What's he trying to do??" For a few minutes, he's back-holding a tray on his hands full of fruits and fresh vegetables.
"There's only fruits and vegetables left. I can't get you anything else.. Sorry."
"No, it's fine. Better, I mean." I smiled as he put the tray on my laps. He smiled a delightful smile it make me blushes. He laugh at me and I throw him an apple. It hit his nose again.
"Ouch!! You're gonna break it!! My nose.."
"Haha, gotcha!"
He keep laughing while I eat. When I finished eating, he grab the tray and put in on a table. Then, he tells me about wonderful stories and it driven me back to sleep. I heard the door's open. Ridan's home.
"She's sleep again?" he sighed.
"She just slept when you came.. So, what happens?"
"A day with her.. Just wonderful.. Oh yeah, I got you something.. Here."
"Huh? Food? What the?"
"That's from her and she made it for us.. And, she knows about Dexx too.. Well, basiclly, I told her.."
"WHAT?!?! You can't just tell that to other people!! It's a secret!!"
"I trust her. She won't tell to anyone."
"And if she dares??"
"I'll make some decisions with her.."
"Hmph.."
"...."
"Dexx told me she had a wierd dream last night."
"What is it?"
"It's about ....................."
