Chapter 2: A Dream

In a very dark place, just as she opened her eyes, everything went into a scene. Loud cries coming from nowhere. The whole ground is shaking violently as she fell to her knees.

She looked around. She was currently in a hall that was filled with people dressed in a very familiar Navy uniform and beret on their heads. She looked around, only to see a futuristic door and number 6 was seen written on top of the door frame.

"Where am I…?"

She said in a low voice as she looked at the dark green-colored tiles beneath her.

And then suddenly… BOOM!

A loud explosion was heard near them. The debris went flying into different locations. One of them had unluckily scratch her left cheek and started bleeding immediately.

Small droplets of velvety red was seen few inches away from her hand. She placed her left hand at her cheeks and wipe it and then open her palm, revealing blood.

She widens her eyes…

What she just saw is her blood coming from the wound on her cheeks. She looked at the area where people had gathered. She stood up and walked slowly as the people begin to make a way, making Kleirra to be suspicious.

Why did the people make a way for her? But that wasn't stopping her tracks.

She saw a large glass window and outside, is a dark sky filled with small light lingering around. She went near and then she realizes she's not in her room neither around the world anymore.

She looked at the small light ball that shines in different shades of colors.

A dark sky filled with small light balls that seemed to be the twinkling stars. Landing into one and only choice. She spoke with uncertainty, "Isn't this space?"

Why on earth was she doing on here? And why is she able to go in space when the world didn't have the capability to create a single space maneuvering vehicle other than rockets?

"Commander!"

Someone yelled, making everyone to looked at behind, including herself. To her surprise, the man who just yelled went in front of her and do the salute.

"W-What do you want?" she asked while her voice is stuttering. The man soon expressed a baffled reaction. "commander, are you okay?" he asked.

She blink her eyes twice as she processed what the man had said. The strange man just called her commander whereas she doesn't have any knowledge of being a military officer before.

Moreover, she's just a nineteen-year-old girl.

"M-Me?Commander??" she asked him. More like clarifying if this is true. "Yes. You are the commander of the 13th Fleet, Fleet Admiral Kleirra Twanbach." he said, bewildering her.

How did she become navy personnel!?

Moreover, a Fleet Admiral is the highest rank in the Navy!

That's not the end of the surprise. The man just called her Fleet Admiral Kleirra Twanbach. But the problem is… her last name is not 'Twanbach'. It was something else.

"Commander, I don't know what happened to you but your husband, Sir Ji is looking for you"

One surprise came into light after another. This time, the man had stated that she had a freaking husband when she was certain that she's still single and never had a boyfriend atleast once.

"I-I have a husband whom I didn't know?" she asked again as she didn't know what the hell had happened to her and to her surroundings. Why is she currently at space and why is this happening to her all of a sudden.

The man just raised brows. "Really commander? Did Sir ji did something bad to you again making you to act like you have amnesia?"

She jaw-dropped as her pupils constricted. Really! She didn't even know you either! Why saying she has an amnesia when she doesn't even know you or anyone else in this room.

"Kleirra!" Someone then called her name too intimately.

She and the man she was talking to looked behind, only to see a man in 6-feet tall, has black hair and it matches the color of his eyes. Not only that, the man is also what everyone describes as extremely handsome, even she, herself has slight blush on her cheeks.

He has wide black eyes with thin double eyelids and thick eye brows. His hair is black and slightly wavy, cut short. He has tan skin, a sharp nose ridge, and a strong jawline. He is extremely muscular, in particular of having noticeable abs while wearing a tight black shirt and well-shaped biceps were extremely to die for.

At first glance, he wears a tight black shirt with a silver collar, along with close-fitting black pants. He also wears atleast one belt across his chest, along with a small pocket on his waist that has a small gun and a small knife around his thigh that was held on by the straps around his thighs.

Kleirra shook her head, clearing her mind, and looked directly at him. "Are you the one calling me, sir…" she stated. The handsome man raised one eyebrow, "What sir? I am your loving husband, remember?"

"Huh!?" Kleirra was perplexed about that.

She definitely known herself being a loner and not having a boyfriend even when she wants one. Let alone the man standing in front of her is her so-called husband is a surprise welcome for her.

"Sir Ji! What did you do to commander twanbach!"

"I didn't do anything!"

The man who saluted her earlier was bickering as he's now furious to the man who he claims to ber her husband. Then a violent headache struck her head. She placed her left hand unto the side of her head and tightly leaned on it as she hold her ground while bearing the pain.

The man who he claims her husband notice her quickly kneel and looked at her closely, "Kleirra, are you really okay? Is there something wrong??" the man in black said in concern but Kleirra just looked at him.

Piercing, tearing pain washed over her and her whole body as she began to tremble and knelt down in pain. Regardless of her struggle's the two men continued to bicker with each other.

The pain that came suddenly and that left her kneeling down on the floor is the start. The pain she had suddenly felt had already completely overwhelmed her body.

It's like her whole head is going to explode in mere minutes as she was struggling. She desperately struggled as her both hands placed and leaned on both of her head tightly.

She became motionless before falling into darkness…

She opens her eyes suddenly with force and looked at the ceiling. She blinked once before rolling her eyes. Lifting her arms, she looked over and over again at her hand. There was no bloodstain on the left palm of her hand.

She clearly remembered that before she passed out, the left one had a stain on it while the two unknown men bicker with each other.

Putting down her hands and it landed on a very soft ground. That's when she became confused. She tapped the soft ground and felt like something a cloth. This is indeed her usual and comfy bed. Slowly lifting her body, her brain painfully throbbed.

She suddenly stiffened.

She rolled her eyes as she looked around. Sure enough, this is her room. She was currently sitting on top of her bed. She glanced at the clock and it is currently four at the morning. The soft and comfy bed, her safe haven AKA her room… but what she saw earlier was different.

She definitely saw that she was at space earlier.

She felt like it felt too realistic to deemed it as a dream. The man who suddenly saluted at her and… the man who he claims she was her husband. She closed her eyes. That was the time she realized that it is all merely a dream.

Knock Knock.

Two knocks can be heard. The door opened shortly. It was her mother. "Kleirra, your father and I will go to Manila." her mom added with concern, "are you sure you'll be okay all alone in here?" she then asked.

Kleirra smiled in reply, "yes."

"Okay. We will be back after two days"

"Ok. Take care."

The door closes, leaving Kleirra alone in her room. Her mind was elsewhere.

"That dream..." she looked at the ceiling. The dream she dreamt just few seconds ago felt too real to be a dream.

She sighs in disbelief, "a dream…huh…"
