Life begins where the dream ends.
Blood. Papa's wristwatch in a pool of blood. An owl cries on the hazelnut tree. "Papa ! ", Nicole screamed as she woke up. A dream, a very bad dream. "Papa! ", Nicole calls out again, sweating profusely. "I have to go see father. " Nicole jumped out of bed and hurried towards her parents bedroom. It was still noon and she wondered why she had a terrible dream just when she wanted a peaceful nap. As she approached her parents room, she heard raised voices. "Oh no! They're arguing again, " she whispered. Since her mother got a job at Eric's Kitchen last month, her parents had been arguing frequently. "Well, that's why you've being coming home late! ", Mr. Braham, Nicole's father yelled. "You want to be with him. And, for what reason? What does he have to offer ? You're choosing him over us? Over what we have? You're not thinking about our daughter? Think Helena! Put us first, just this once, please". Nicole flinched. She could feel the pain in her father's voice. "It's not what you think, Braham", Her mother responded between sobs. " I can't hurt you. I can't hurt our daughter. Everything I do, I do for you and Nicole. I love you, I love us". "Then stop Helena! Stop all these! Quit your job, quit seeing him. You're ripping my heart apart", Her father pleaded in agony. "I can't quit my job, Braham. Nicole has to go to school. And, where would we get the money for her tuition? We can't solely depend on your pay from the factory. Can you trust me on this, please... ", Her Mother broke down in tears. Nicole stood by the door and wiped a tear that escaped her firm eyes. Was mother cheating on Papa? Why does Mother always have to be the problem? And, who was this man? Nicole fumed as she thinks of her father. Her father has always loved them unconditionally. He tolerates her mother's excesses. He works twice as hard to make them comfortable but Mother , she always ruins things. "Mother, please stop! ", Nicole screamed as she barged into the room. "Can you two stop all these drama? ", She screamed in tears. "Papa always tries his best to make things work. He loves us but you keep making things hard for him, Mother! And now? You're cheating on him?" "Nicole!", Mr. Braham called sharply. "Don't speak to your mother in such manner! Apologize to her, now". "Well, I'm sorry Papa but I'm so sick of Mother and her schemes", Nicole cries as she runs out of the room. She grabbed her bagpack and ran out of the house, down the street. She did not stop running until she got to the lake. She sat on her favourite rock, buried her face in her arms and broke down in tears. "Nics? Is everything okay?", a soft masculine voice called out to her. Nicole wipes her tears and raises her head. A curly-haired, pimple-faced teenager stares straight into her eyes. Daniel! Nicole tries to hide her swollen eyes. "Nics, talk to me please. You're scaring me right now", Daniel begged as he lowered his basket and sat on a rock beside her. "Danny, I don't want my Papa to die.", Nicole replied. "What? Is you father ill, Nics ? What's the matter?" "Danny, there was blood. So much blood. Then, I saw Papa's wristwatch—the one he got last Christmas, it was in a pool of blood". Nicole was visibly shaking. "Gracious!", Daniel exclaimed. "Where did this happen? Where's your Father now?", Daniel asked. "In my dream." "In your dream?? Nics, have you been drinking? I know you're above eighteen already but I don't like the idea of you getting drunk at noon... ", He was still talking when Nicole rudely interrupted him. "Do you think I'm hallucinating? You don't believe me, do you? I'm not drunk, okay? " "Okay, okayyy. Fine. I believe you but is everything really okay? I mean, what's triggering these dreams?" "Danny, Mother wants Papa dead. That's what my dream mean. " Nicole says with an aura of certainty. "Nics! "Daniel gasped. "Don't say such things! Can you quit being so naughty? Why would you even think this way? " "Danny, she's cheating on him. You know Papa's hypertensive? She's being stressing him out lately. I'm scared, Danny. I don't want to lose Papa. He's.....". "Shhh ", Daniel said to her as her hugged her. She smelled of lavender and honey. Daniel smiled. Classic Nics, always smelling funky.
