Back to the Past

Jane, Melinda, and Natasha were silent when they all heard the story from Abriella who said that she had met David all along in her dreams. Jane, the woman who is now sitting beside Abriella, turned to Natasha and Melinda who were also silent and exchanged glances with her.

"So... Do you think you dreamed of her real spirit?" Melinda asked Abriella who now shrugged her shoulders and exhaled heavily.

"I don't know… I also feel like it was just a dream, but it all feels real!" Abriella replied, looking at her three friends who were now silent, thinking about whether what Abriella was experiencing was just a dream, or if she had actually met the curious spirit of David.

"Hm... Is there anything you have done to prove whether the David in your dream is a spirit?" Jane asked who was now glancing at Abriella who was sitting beside her. Abriella also shook her head because she did not know the true nature of a David Wagner.

"I'm just trying to prove that my dream is a reality! Stupid isn't it?" Asked Abriella who smiled at her three friends who actually looked confused by the meaning of Abriella's words just now. Jane, who was sitting beside Abriella on the same bed as the woman, shifted her body to face Abriella completely. She also asked Abriella very seriously,

"Do you have any guesses, if... You have returned to the past, Ella?" Jane asked who could understand how Abriella was thinking.

When she heard Jane's question, Abriella paused and glanced at the three friends who were now looking at her intently. Abriella also answered, "Hm..." While nodding her head and then silent embarrassed. She felt very, very stupid, for having fantasized too high like now.

Abriella saw her three friends looking at her with wide eyes, which finally made Abriella exhale slowly and said, "I'm sorry girls! I know this is stupid and unreasonable, but I just—"

"We don't think it's stupid, Ella!" Said Natasha who immediately spoke up. Made Abriella silent and looked at the woman who was now looking at their other two friends and asked, "Isn't that right?" she asked Melinda and Jane.

Unexpectedly, it turned out that the other two friends nodded in agreement with Natasha. Saying that what Abriella just said was not stupid according to them, which of course made Abriella feel grateful if she was given friends like the three people beside her now.

"Stop being like this! You make me happy!" The words that Abriella said to her three friends made them laugh together when they heard it.

"Hey… We are like this!" Melinda said to Abriella.

"Right! If you're crazy… Then let's go crazy together!" Jane said now, looking at Abriella who laughed and immediately threw a pillow at her.

The four women laughed together in a quite comfortable room that night. They all end up playing pillow fights like little kids throwing a sleepover party at a friend's house. Until they all felt tired and lay down together on Abriella's large mattress.

They all stared at the ceiling of Abriella's pink room, and fell silent with their breaths ragged from the exhaustion of playing pillow fights.

"So… What have you done, Abriella?" asked Jane suddenly. Making the three women who were with him glanced at Jane with a confused look.

"Huh?" Asked Abriella who did not understand the meaning of Jane's question to her.

"You said that if you did something that would at least prove that your dream was real… What was that thing?" Jane's question also made Abriella get up from her sleep and remember things she could use as evidence.

"I'm not sure… But before this I had an article about opening a new branch of his shop!" Said Abriella who grabbed her cellphone and opened the document. She also showed a description of the document, the date and which newspaper it was published in.

"I'll try to find him again now! And if the same news media on the same date reports a different piece of information… Then I really have returned to the past!" Abriella said confidently, looking at her three friends who were now nodding. Abriella then searched the internet for David's new branch which She had not had time to launch via Natasha's cell phone that She borrowed.

And the four women were surprised when they found an article with the same title, same news media, same upload date. However... The content of the information regarding the place where the branch will be launched is very different.

Jane, Natasha and Melinda also turned to Abriella who was silent, reading the article. It turned out that David had carried out the suggestion that Abriella had made in her dream, to move David new branch which was originally going to be opened in the Clinton area, but now the branch is planned to open in Washington. Abriella was shocked when she realized that she had really returned to the past through dreams. And meet David!

"Oh MY GOD! This is really happening!" Melinda shouted who couldn't believe what Abriella was going through. While Abriella was only Speechless and looked at her three friends with a pounding heart.

"What sign is this?" Jane asked Natasha. The woman was worried that something bad would happen to Abriella later. Natasha who did not know also shook her head and looked at Abriella who was now focused on an article beside the article.

'David was talking to himself months before his suicide!'

That was the headline of the article, so Abriella immediately read it.

The testimony of an employee of David who said that he and several other employees saw David talking to himself while waiting for the elevator. He believed that David was not using a cell phone or contacting someone on the phone at the time. This is what strengthens the notion that David has been depressed in the last few months.

Abriella put Natasha's cell phone on the bed and said, "Oh no! I made him think he was crazy!" Abriella said to her three friends who were now confused and didn't understand the meaning of Abriella's words.

"Ella... What do you mean?" Melinda asked Abriella who was now looking at her with a regret she felt.
