Her Unknown Dream

I got to panic every night because my Mom ordered me to turn off the lights. I would immediately run cause I feel like someone was going to chase me.

Gian read the last stanza of Jasmine's project. He smiled when he noticed that Jasmine is a natural liar like him.

"It's perfect."

"Thanks. I got to stay all night just to finished this."

"Your lie will be paid off." There was a sign of consience in Jasmine's eyes.

"N-no, I mean that staying all night will give you the score that you really deserve. You don't have to feel bad about it."

"They wouldn't know, right?" Gian laughed because of Jasmine's shaky voice.

"Of course, they won't."

.

"I'm really glad about your projects! All nicely done." The whole class clapped with a big smile written on their face.

Gian signed a huge thumbs up on Jasmine. Jasmine winked at him since the lecturer didn't noticed that it was all made up.

While the lecturer was talking. There's a scenario that suddenly flashed inside her head. Mixed events and faces of people who looks so familiar to her.

"Ahh!" She shouted in pain when she feel her head began to feel very heavy.

"Miss Browne, what are you feeling?" Jasmine just keep on shaking her head. She can find no words to describe the pain she's feeling.

"Take her to the Clinic. Mr. Carter, kindly escort her."

"Yes, Maam." Gian nodded before helping Jasmine to stand up. The scene that was playing inside Jasmine's head faded but the ache is still getting worse.

"M-my head." She said, dolefully while they're heading towards the clinic.

Gian assist her by carefully holding her in her waist as Jasmine wrapped her arms around Gian's shoulders.

.

"I'm suggesting that you should sleep more often." The nurse suggested.

Gian's eyes turned, facing Jasmine who is silently lying on the clinical bed.

"Thank you, nurse." Gian smiled at the nurse before she left them.

"You can sleep here. I'll be here when you wake up."

"She's wrong." Gian's eyebrows met.

"What do you mean, Jas?"

"It's not because I'm lack of sleep. Something flashed inside my head. I saw something!"

"Tell me. What did you saw?" Jasmine began to breathe heavily before trying her best to explain what she saw.

"I-i saw events, like there's a meeting or something a-and."

"And?"

"I saw a man! A man with a blue eyes."

After Jasmine's description, she saw how Gian's jaw clenched, then he faced her suddenly, with a petty smile.

"When you're stress or lack of sleep. Your brain started to produce some random events that can cause headache. So, I'm suggesting that you should follow what the nurse's said." She nod at him before closing her eyes.

.

It's weekened when the two decided to hang out. They both agreed to buy an ice cream and take a walk in the park.

When they got there, there's a plenty of childrens playing. Jasmine slightly closed her eyes when the cold breeze kissed her face.

They sat in a stone-made bench as they finish eating their ice cream together.

"Gian, wait here for me." She said out of the sudden.

"Why? Where are you going?"

"I'll buy us some chicken joy. Save this seat for me."

Jasmine excused herself and went to the man who is selling chicken joy on the side of the street.

"How much does one chicken joy costs?" She asked the vendor who immediately stood up and fix hisself.

"50 cents, Miss."

"I'll buy two." She took a dollar from her pocket before handing it to the man.

"Thank you."

While heading back, she saw a stray dog sitting infront of Gian.

"Hey, there." She called the dog's attention before mildly sat infront of it. The dog wiggle his tail as he face Jasmine.

"Jas, stay away from it."

"This dog won't hurt me." Jasmine stood up before she sat beside Gian. She handed the other chicken to Gian.

"Thanks."

"No probs."

After they finished their chicken. Jasmine gave the bones to the dog.

"He's so pale and looks so hungry." She commented as she stared at the dog's skin which his ribs are now obviously seen.

Jasmine touched his head and Gian smiled when he saw the dog suddenly closed his eyes for a few seconds, then he continued eating the bones.

.

"That dog earlier looks so weird."

"Yep, I don't understand why he closed his eyes." Gian agreed.

It was 3 pm when both of them decided to go home. Gian voluntered to take Jasmine to her apartment.

"That tree is scary." Gian said out of the sudden while pointing on the brown tree with no leaves.

"It's lifeless."

"What are you doing?" Gian asked in half-whispered when Jasmine entered a free lot where the lifeless tree was planted.

"Gonna check it out. Come on." Gian followed her. There's many large roots in the ground and the smile in Jasmine's face faded when she knew that this tree will be cutted soon.

She touched the tree and she don't know why but she suddenly know the tree's age.

"27...27 years old."

"Who's age?"

"The tree is only 27 years old."

"Are you sure? It looks like a one and a half century to me." Jasmine just shrugged before stepping backward.

"We need to go."

.

"You should act like a princess not a thief!"

"You are forbidden to leave!"

"No!" As she wake up, she could feel hot liquid running down her cheeks.

Jasmine brushed her hair using the tip of her fingers because of frustration.

"W-what the?" while panting she whispered.

"What the hell was that?" It was different from the other imaginary events she used to dream.

She saw a sky whose color is red as fresh blood. She heard shakes, scream and a laugh.

Jasmine was indeed worry that she might have gone crazy to hear those things. She also saw a beautiful woman who was hugging her in her dream.

Who are they?

Why they keep on flashing inside my head?
