1127 Words
When she was left alone in the dreamland, Yume was indeed happy but something she was not telling Alexan. It must be kept secret since things can change in every decision a person would made. Yume sighed as she looked at her surroundings and a picture of Alexan showed up.
“If only…” Yume sighed with defeated smile on her lips.
The picture of Alexan was something she really dreamed of but never get any chance to happened since she was a witch. She couldn’t let anyone be close to her heart because whenever they do, she left her whenever they learn who she was – a witch. It feared her even more now that she felt that there was something building within her.
“Heh, the only thing I could do for now is to pray and hope that it will be.” Yume said as the picture vanished as well.
Yume woke up from her magical sleep. She stretched her arms and body while still lying on her bed before reading her eyes to finally open up.
“I wonder, if will I ever meet her again?” Yume asked herself as she yawned before standing up and do her morning routine.
There, she get her white tiny crystals and scattered them at the tub for cleansing the water. She let it be for a moment before going to the garden to greet her neighbors – spiritual creatures as well some ghosts. Yume gave them something eat and she even took a seat underneath the old fragrant olive tree to meditate. She always do that before taking a bath and eating her breakfast. She wanted to start her day with relaxed body and soul.
After her routine, Yume went straight to her job at the music company since she was one of the production crew and a composer in her own band while Alexan has a business printing to run. Both of them are having hard times on their own personal life but whenever it came down to relaxation, Alexan always found herself hanging out on the coffee shop for the reason she doesn’t remembered at all. But to Yume, her relaxation place was always at the park where she’s been surrounded by lots of trees. It was her sanctuary being close to nature. But being there all by herself till noon, some disturbing noises from the unseen kept bugging her.
“Would you guys let me be? I’m composing something.” Yume sighed out of irritation from the noises she’s been hearing.
‘Sorry, Lady Yume.’
The giggling sound of playful fairies replied to her before play off somewhere the park. Yume sighed since it’s been so long when somebody called her Lady Yume and it made her smiled. She shook her head then went back on writing something on the music sheet. On the middle of her composing a song, a lady in white approached her.
‘Lady Yume?’
“Need anything?” Yume asked as her eyes still on the music sheets.
‘Yes, could you help me locate where’s my family?’
“Do you even know you’re already dead?” Yume asked while tapping her pen on the sheet.
‘Yes, I just want to pay a visit on my kid since she’s having a baby now.’
“Then they were on the hospital.” Yume said as she writes something on the sheet.
‘But Lady Yume, I don’t know which hospital they were.’
“Okay, just a sec.” Yume sighed as she closed her eyes pretending to be thinking deeply but the truth, she’s already locating where the family of this white lady next to her was.
She uses her magic with a little help from the nature around her since those trees are connected to each other. When she opened her eyes, she smiled for the white lady and tell her where’s the exact location of the family. As the white lady left her, the playful fairies came back and looked to what she was writing.
‘Lady Yume, you look happy?’
“Well, the white lady earlier is going to be a grandmother.” Yume said while smiling and writing on the sheet again.
“How wonderful life could be.” She continued but she stopped from writing when she felt something was about to happen late at night.
‘Lady Yume?’
“Oh! It’s nothing. I just need to prepare something for tonight’s dream.” Yume said as she put the sheet on her bag.
‘Can we help?’
“No, you’re the guardians here and don’t worry I have mine at home. See you tomorrow.” Yume chuckled as she stood up from the bench.
‘Bring some snacks then!’
“Sweets maybe.” Yume said as she walked away from the park she always used to hang out.
‘Yey! Sweets!’
When she’s on her way home, she decided to drop by at the coffee shop to buy some snacks before going to the grocery. As she entered the coffee shop, she felt something in there reminded her about yesterday. Let it be for now since she was hungry.
‘What a beauty.’
She heard a familiar thought like what happened yesterday till she reached the counter. She ordered same, blueberry cheesecake and hot coffee latte. After buying her snack, she smiled as she saw someone familiar. Instead of approaching the lady who was busy writing on a paper, she passes her table and seated a crossed the lady.
“So, it was her and she’s finally got her groove on writing.” Yume thought while admiring the lady lost in her own world of stories.
“She’s really making my day complete. Hope it’ll last.” Yume giggled through her mind as she began to eat her snacks.
When she was done to her snack, she watched the lady do her thing that she found really interesting.
“Why I felt light today…well, its good.” The lady said as she stretched her arm from being stiff before drinking her coffee.
When the lady finally stretched her arms, Yume smiled even wider before standing off from her table. She crossed the table of the lady as she patted her shoulder.
“Good luck with that, Alexan.” Yume whispered that made Alexan snapped her head as she passed through her table and left the shop.
Alexan was caught off guard from that whisper. She never thought somebody knew her where also taking a break here. She looked around again but she found no one she’s familiar with. She sighed as she held her right shoulder where she felt that tap from a familiar person.
“Well, I think I have to continue this tomorrow.” Alexan told to herself as she cleaned her table up before leaving the shop and went home.
After her long and tireless writing she finally decided to go home and continue it tomorrow if she could remember them. At home, she changed her clothing and lay down to rest for she just walked but her body couldn’t resist the softness of the bed. In instant, she was already asleep. She was tired from work and writing that’s why she forgot to eat her dinner.
