[Richan POV]
And here I am, sitting in my dream and looking at Kyurin's smiling face, which looks so bright like a morning sun. At this point, I unconsciously speak Bahasa in reflex, "so beautiful."
.
Realizing that I speak in another language she doesn't know, Kyurin asked me, "Hmmm? Richan what did you just say?" and then I came back to my sense again, after that I reply to her "Ah nothing, I just hope that you're not sad again".
.
Then I said again, "Just because when you smile like this, you become more…" Oh my lord, what in the hell did I just say now? It just came out of nowhere from my mouth.
.
Kyurin asked me again, "More what?" Ugh, I don't know anymore. I hope I don't regret this later. Then I took a deep breath and faced the opposite side from her, and I said, "More beautiful…"
.
And that's it I said it, I can't imagine her face right now, maybe she feels cringed or maybe disgusted and about to stay away from me, or perhaps she thinks that im just a creep, ahh I don't know anymore.
.
Then I slowly turned my face back to her, a bit scared, though, but here we go. After that, I looked at her face again, but what I was witnessing was something different from what I imagined back then.
.
She was stunned. Both of her cheeks, which were clear white before, became reddened, and her smile was a bit messed up now. Just what happened to her? Is she sick? Then I asked her in response, "Kyurin… are you okay? You look a bit red now."
.
I tried to check her temperature by putting my hand on her forehead and comparing it with mine. After that, I don't know why, but it seems her temperature suddenly increased a little bit, so I said to her, "Kyurin, did you get cold? Your temperature is so high right now."
.
But after I asked her, she took my right hand, which was on her forehead, and put it down. Then she said, "I'm okay, Richan. Don't worry about that." When I saw her face again, it seemed she was already fine. Her complexion had improved, and her smile had returned.
.
"Ohh, okay then. I'm glad to hear that," I said to her. Well, that was strange. I thought she got sick or something. Maybe I was wrong then.
.
.
.
.
After this small problem we're getting back into conversation again, now I try to ask her something, "Uhm Kyurin when earlier, I heard that you speak in another language, I wonder what is it?".
.
Kyurin hearing what I just said, she looking at me first and then replied, "It was nothing, just the language that runs out in my family, I spout it on spontaneous".
.
"Really? Wow, that's new for me," I said in response. Ahh, I see. No wonder when she spoke for the first time back then, I was pretty confused. Well, I just heard that there is a family that has their way of communicating in China. What a new thing.
.
"Say Richan…" Kyurin said to me in a low tone, and I responded, "Yeah, what is it?" After that, she asked me, "Do you tell your circumstances right now to others?"
.
Hearing what she had just said, I realized that I still had not told both my parents and my brother about what had happened to me yet. Sigh. They must have been so worried for me, then I answered.
.
"Well…Im not telling this yet to anyone, it's just because… I don't want my family to worry about me, so I hope that I can solve this quietly, but…if this goes worse, maybe I will tell my brother or my parents" I said to Kyurin, answering her question.
.
Hearing what I had just said, Kyurin nodded in response and said, " You so lucky, Richan..." in a sad voice.
.
Oh no, did I somehow offend her with my answer? This became awkward, so I tried to ask her carefully, "Ehh... What's wrong, Kyurin?"
.
"Nothing, It's just... I don't even have someone to tell about my conditions" she answered, im a bit surprised hearing what she just said, then I ask her again "How about your family? or maybe a friend?".
.
Still looking down, she replies "My family... it's complicated, friends... I don't have any..." shit, I think I made a grave mistake for asking her something useless, I need to fix this quickly.
.
"Then, can I be your friend?" I said while glancing at her.
.
.
"Sure... I'll be happy too," she said to me in a low tone, looking at me smiling. At this point, I was stunned by her reply. I couldn't say anything else except smile back at her.
.
.
.
.
After that little talk with her, something was happening. Kyurin's face suddenly looked surprised, looking at something behind me. Then she said, "Richan... what is that?" while pointing behind me, and I turned my head behind.
.
There, I saw there are so many balls of light coming to us, and each of them is in a different color, I think there is 9 of them, black, silver, yellow, red, orange, green, blue, purple, and the last one is... looks colorless, almost invisible.
.
All of them are slowly approaching us from afar, Kyurin slowly hiding behind me and holding on to my back. When the balls of light are closer enough, I try to make contact with one of them while extending my right hand to them. I hope I'm not making a bad decision.
.
Not long after, one of the balls is approaching my right hand, it's the black one, it came to my palm slowly, but when it touched my hand, not like what I expected, It was way warm.
.
Then I say to Kyurin "Kyurin, I think It's okay, they look friendly" while showing her I patted the black ones, "Come here" I said to her again while reaching for her right hand and slowly trying to make her touch the black one.
.
When Kyurin's hand finally touches the black ball, she said "Its... warm... and soft" she smiled, not to try her fun, I called the other light balls, and they seem happy and rushed at us, It's a bit itchy actually when they touched us together.
.
There we were swarmed by the light balls, laughing and having fun together, then I said to Kyurin "They kind of remind me of wisps" while still playing with the light balls, "Wisps? let's call them wisps then from now on" she replied while playing with them.
.
But I noticed something wrong. One of the wisps was left out—the colorless one. It's just floating there doing nothing, so I try to call it with my hand, waving at it. At first, it seems there is no response from it, then suddenly, the other 8 wisps are coming to the colorless one.
.
It looks like they were trying to push the colorless wisps toward us, and when they became closer enough, Kyurin and I tried to touch them, just as expected. It was also warm and soft, so I patted it, and Kyurin pinched it. After that, the other wisps also came rushing to us.
.
Well, the Dream this time is wholesome for me, here I am sitting beside a cute girl, a lot of fluffy wisps came to us, and were playing together, I thought it would be nice like this for a bit longer, but.
.
Suddenly, all of the Wisps are stunned for a second and get away. Here, Kyurin and I are confused about what has happened. Then it happens again. The ground shakes suddenly, and I almost fall, while Kyurin is shocked and falls on the ground.
.
Looking at her falling, I try to come and help her to get up, " Kyurin!!, It's okay, I come to you" I said to her while trying to walk towards her, alas, the ground suddenly cracked and split in two, I accidentally stepped onto the crack and fell.
.
Before I fell, I looked at Kyurin. Our faces were locked together, and her face looked surprised and shocked in horror when she noticed that I was falling deep into the crack. "RICHANNNN," she shouted my name while still on the ground, hopeless, and extended her hand to try to help me. Alas, it was useless. I'm falling now.
.
While Kyurin's voice was slowly fading, I started to feel sleepy and warm, so I closed my eyes and slept.
