Chapter 20
Yuna's POV
This is so hard to process...
My boyfriend just asked another girl to date him in front of me and everybody...and did I just heard that girl saying she is in love with me? No, it can't be. I probably heard it wrong or probably its another person...
Then... why? why all of them intensely looking at me? I don't even understand a single thing about what is happening now so will you all stop glaring at me...
What kind of distorted dream is this?
Oh yes, this is just a dream...surely this is only a dream.
I tried to compose myself and close my eyes to think.
Ah... what a crazy dream! surely I will wake up soon so just hold on a little longer Yuna...
The look in Akira's eyes...when he said those words...he never looks at me that way, it hurts to think that he is in love with someone else. Even this is just a dream this really hurt me...
Ah, my tears are welling up again from my eyes. I can hardly breathe...I feel pain in my chest.
"Yuna, please come with me!"
I open my eyes when I heard a voice called me.
"Huh?"
***
I did not realize that this girl is already in front of me. She grabbed my hand and pulled me out there.
I don't know how to react when she suddenly grabbed me but I just also want to leave there and wake up from this bad dream so I just go with her.
Please make this end...please...please...I uttered in my mind as I ran with her.
We really ran far away from school...when our feet get tired and we both struggled to breathe that is when we stopped. We are now in a street where no one is passing by. I hold onto my knee gasping. I took a deep breath then I stand straight and look at her.
She has not let go of my hand yet. Her hand is really soft and I feel its warmth as she holds on mine tightly.
I can't stop wondering why am I having this dream? This girl is amazingly beautiful. I'm not close to her or even know her so I don't know why she is in my dream. I just stare at her as she still struggles to breathe.
"Uh...are you ok?"
I asked her worrying even I keep telling in my mind this is just a dream.
"Yuna sorry..." She said with a very sweet and soft tone of voice.
She let go of my hand and throw herself at me as she grabs my body to embrace me tightly. I was stunned and I feel my heart beats so fast.
My mind went blank and when she let go of me, I can't stop to notice her face turn so red and she can hardly look at me.
"Uhm..."
Why this girl like this...
And now she is staring right into my eyes...I can't think of any word to say in this situation.
"Yuna...I love you. You know you are the only person for me."
"Ah..."
I'm speechless...I am starting to lose my mind in my own dream.
This girl looks so serious as she tells me that she loves me. This is the first time someone said this to me...even Akira never says he loves me directly. Is this why I'm in a daze hearing words even from another girl...
She takes a step and her face moves closer to mine. I see more clearly her face and honestly, her beauty is breathtaking. There is only an inch distance between us and she just keeps staring at my face. Why is she this close to me? I feel my face is getting warmer and warmer. What is she looking in my face...
She moves another inch and I feel her soft and warm lips are already touching mine...
My eyes widened and my heart just skips a beat.
Now this dream really becomes crazier...Why this feels so real?
I take a step back and tears flow again in my eyes.
She seems surprised at my reaction but I am the one who should be more shocked here.
Akira has not even kissed me on the lips before, even this is just a dream I always want it to be with him.
I turned around and run away from that girl...This better to be a dream. Come on when will this stop?
***
In the end, I just went home.
"Yuna what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be still in school?"
My mother asked me when I entered the house. My father also looks at me wondering.
"I'm not feeling well today. I will just go up in my room."
I quickly climb up the stairs and enter my room. I close my door and jump to my bed. I lay there in my stomach and planted my face in the pillow.
"Come on! When will I wake up from this dream?" I said while kicking in my bed.
...
I did not realize I already fall asleep.
When I open my eyes I see Mikan sitting at the corner of my bed.
"Oh! Finally, you're awake. Your parents let me enter your room to check you."
I sprang out of bed with a jolt.
"Waaah Mikan..."
I grabbed Mikan to embrace her while crying.
"You won't believe my dream...I was so terrified that it was true."
She taps my back to calm me down.
"It's ok...it's just a dream you said...come on, you can stop crying now...it's ok, it's ok."
I pulled myself away from her and wipe my tears.
"By the way why are you here?" I asked her.
"You left your things at the school earlier after you ran away with Lure. If you just see all their reaction when both of you left. Boys were losing their minds in disbelief."
I was dumbfounded.
"Will you say that again?" I asked once more with a blank face.
"What? you ran away with Lure?"
I froze from where I'm sitting. I'm too stunned to move. This shouldn't be possible.
"Yuna are you ok? Your face just turns so pale."
I grab Mikan's shoulder and started shaking her body as I panic.
"How will I be ok! It can't be real! please tell me this is not real..."
"Will you come to your senses! (Slap!)"
My head almost dislocates from my neck after Mikan slaps me hard. I feel my cheeks bulging because of her slap. That really hurt so much...so this not really a dream...I just really want to cry.
"Sorry...everything is not making any sense to me. Akira and that girl... I don't even know who is that girl who pulled me earlier...and...and...[sniff..sniff...]"
I said crying to Mikan.
"Eh! What do you mean? How can you forgot about your girlfriend?"
"Girlfriend?!!"
Once again I'm shocked.
"Wait! This is weird...why you are so surprised? Don't tell me...Can you tell me your real age?"
"Why you are asking me that now? I'm seventeen! did you forget we are just the same age?"
"Your back!" Mikan said wondering.
"You are weird as well...why everything is weird? have I transported to another world or a different dimension?"
***a moment later.
My arms are supporting my body away from my bed. My head is down and I feel extremely bad now.
So these are all real and not just a dream...
"You are saying my 28-year-old self possessed my body... I broke up with Akira and began dating that girl..."
I put my hands on my head...
"Ah! What should I do? How will I turn everything back to how it is? This is so crazy!"
I said in frustration...
