After a week, I decided to go out. I was walking on the road; I am on my way to the grocery store. Then, I saw a building which I have never seen around here. It says, "Royal Museum", I was so curious that I decided to enter that building.
There were a lot of stuffs related to royalty. Those might be from the former Kings and Queens. Then, I stopped on the painting that caught my attention. It was a prince offering his hand to a girl. I felt somewhat familiar to it. It reminded me of a man from my unbelievable dream. Then, another painting which shows a man soaked in the rain. Tears fall as I saw those paintings; I didn't understand why I am crying over those paintings. So, I decided to leave that building immediately.
As I leave the museum, a blue-haired man approached me. I think I might have seen him before. He asked directions to me, he said that he was just new here, so he is not familiar to our city.
"Hello! Thank you for showing me around. By the way, I am Corvelle, Corvelle Penry. It was nice meeting you."
"Oh, I am glad to help. My name is Johanna, Johanna Taylor. I live near here. Well, I gotta go, I need to go to work. Bye!"
And we said goodbye to each other. I cannot be late for my work because they said we have a new boss. Some described him as cold as ice. Well, I cannot be fired for being late.
As I enter in our company building, I bumped into someone. But, because I was in a hurry, I didn't even see whom I bumped into.
"I'm really sorry, I hope you are alright. I'm in a hurry, I gotta go.", that's what I said.
But the man, seems to know me.
"Hey?! Miss! Wait!!!", he shouted, but I kept running.
*At the meeting room
I was not paying attention to what they are saying. Then, they introduced our new CEO. After the meeting, I was told to go to the CEO's office.
When I entered the elevator, I saw the man I saw earlier.
"Hi Johanna! We've met again."
"Hi Corvelle! What are you doing here?", I asked.
"Well, I am just going to check my brother or the new CEO of this company."
Oh! So, he is the CEO's brother.
"Oh really? I was also on my way on seeing him. They told me to go to his office actually."
"Great! I can also introduce you to him since you helped me earlier."
Corvelle knocked the door.
"Come in!", the CEO said in a cold tone.
Corvelle entered first.
"Hey bro! I was just paying you a visit. Oh! And I would like you to meet someone. She helped me earlier when I was lost and showed me around the city."
Then his chair turned around, facing us. Our eyes met, as if we are longing for each other.
"Johanna?", he said.
Corvelle and I are shocked.
"You know her bro?", Corvelle asked.
"Yes. I was looking for her for a very long time.", he briefly said.
Then, I thought that he somehow looks like the man in the painting I saw earlier.
Then, my mouth just says a name. A name that I can't remember but I am familiar with.
"Ervius, who are you?", I said.
"So, you know me too?", Ervius asked.
"That name always came to my head. When I say that name aloud, I feel like I am longing for him. Then after that, I was crying. Can someone explain it? Have we met before?", I said.
Ervius seemed relieved after seeing me. He then explains everything that happened.
"So, it is not a dream?", I curiously asked.
"Nope, you vanished from my sight. You just disappear from our world, and I tried to find you.", Ervius said.
Just as he said it, I understood why I cried over that painting. It was him and me in that painting.
But then someone barged into Ervius' office. It was my ex-boyfriend.
"Johanna! Please, come back to me. I know what I did was wrong. I didn't have time to explain myself to you that time. I am sorry."
Ervius looked at him angrily.
"We are done, remember? We ended up our relationship a long time ago. And I wished you your happiness. Please leave, don't cause trouble here."
"I was so worried, when you saw me at that café, I was finding you. I wanted to explain myself to you. But you were gone. I don't know where you went that day. I feel like I am going crazy, because you were gone for a long time, and nobody knows where you have been. I am sorry. I was just gonna say sorry, I am leaving. Thank you for listening.", he then said.
I looked at him with a sorry look. Then, he leaved.
"Who was that?!", Ervius asked.
"Remember when I first arrived in your world, that was the day I saw him cheating on me with another girl. It was supposed to be our date, but he cancelled it then I saw them. I broke up with him that day. He was my ex-boyfriend. He is nobody to me now."
I was away for a long time because I was in Ervius' world. Ervius and I had lunch together after that incident.
"Let's have a lunch. I was waiting for this moment to come. I have waited you for a long time Johanna."
"I am not invited?!", Corvelle asked his brother.
"Of course not. It was just the two of us. So, feel free to leave. I'll see you later bro.", Ervius replied.
Corvelle leave his office.
We had lunch together and got back in a relationship again. In his world before, we are about to get married back then. But I vanished and came back to my world. Now that I was with him, we will make new memories together.
The day after that, I came to work early. The news spreads fast.
"Hey! I heard you and the new CEO is in a relationship. Is that true?"
"Uhmm…I don't know how to say this, but yes. I didn't know he was the new CEO back then. I just knew when I came to his office."
That time, Ervius entered.
"Yes, we are. I finally found her after a long time. So, if you excuse us, I would like to talk to my girlfriend privately.", he said.
He held my hand, and we went to his office.
"Hey! Why did you say that we are in a relationship? I mean, is it too early for an announcement?", I asked him.
"Why not? I waited for a long time. Remember when you said to me that you want to know if I really like you. Now, I let everyone know how much I love you.", he said.
I hugged him, and said, "Thank you for waiting for me. Thank you for coming back to my life. I love you Ervius."
