Since Carren's words earlier, now Carla looks astonished to her, because she has visited two rooms for proof, and everything is as Carren said.
"Shall we go to the next room?" Carren asked Carla as if she was challenging Carla who was still half-half believing her words.
Carla took a deep breath and soon shook her head, saying that she had 100% trust in the girl. After all, Carren was the creator, so how could Carren lie to her, that's what Carren concluded.
"You've already told me that you know this house well, so can you tell me whose house it is?" asked Carla at last.
"My dream house."
Carla blinked a few times hearing Carren's unmistakable words.
"Is that so?" asked Carla again.
Carren nodded her head to Carla. She really believes that what is in her dream is her dream house, it's just that in the real world at this time the house does not exist.
"Your house is beautiful, I hope that someday you can have a house like your dream," said Carla, who this time was happy with Carren's little dream that she knew at this time because so far this was the only house she knew from Carren dream.
"Thanks, I'm glad to hear that," Carren said with a bright smile.
She is really happy that she can finally see how her dream house is, even if only in a dream, which means when she wakes up the house will just disappear, and she must return to her real-life which is not like that.
"Ah, so what are your plans when you meet your future lover tomorrow?" asked Carla casually without thinking at all. Oh come on, Carla just wanted to test Carren.
"Future lover?"
A nod of the head Carla gave Carren excitedly. She knew very well that Carren, who was none other than her friend and author of the novel she was currently working on, and herself had become one of the characters who had been almost ignored before but had now changed a little.
"You give me goosebumps Carla," Carren said as she hugged herself.
"Why? Don't you like it?" asked Carla, confused. Honestly, she didn't understand what Carren had just said.
A long sigh could be heard from Carren's lips just like that, and before long she gave a nod of her head and looked away at the window where she could see directly the vast garden from there.
"I'm not so sure he likes me, I'm just a friend, and also his colleague, Carla, I can't expect more from him ... I'm afraid to feel hurt."
Carla blinked a few times trying to digest Carren's words that had just been spoken.
"Don't judge too much like that, you don't really know what he's feeling, so you shouldn't draw conclusions according to your point of view."
'May I hope so?' Carla's monologue in her mind.
"But it's better for me to be on guard than to hope and the result is nothing, right? I don't want to be blinded by love. Did you know beforehand that I am a tragic or dramatic romantic story writer?"
Carla, who didn't really understand the direction of Carren's conversation, just nodded her head slowly, because she really knew that Carren had that nickname, and that's why this time she tried to get out of her comfort zone.
"Actually it's an outpouring of my fear of love, can you imagine if my love story ended like that? Wouldn't it feel really sad?"
"Hey, Carren!! Be aware! Now that you're not the old Carren, you have to remember that this time you're writing a romantic love story according to your wishes, so don't make your past story your benchmark, after all, because you've poured out your fears, isn't now the time you can be free from it all?"
Carren's eyes immediately filled with tears when she heard the advice that just came out of Carla's mouth. She really did not expect if Carla to be able to give advice that immediately moved her heart.
She thought her heart couldn't be easily moved to think in a positive direction on the advice of others, but now what she feels is that she admits that what Carla said is true, and it's appropriate for her fragile self to start rising, right?
If other people don't know the reason for Carren being a closed person, then not with Carla, who is slowly starting to reveal little by little the self that she has been hiding from the people around her.
It was a very extraordinary step for Carren to decide to be able to say what was inside her that no one else knew was now known to Carla.
Seeing Carren's eyes that were starting to get wet, Carla quickly hugged Carren. This time she intended purely to comfort her. She just found out that Carren, who she thought was a strong girl, who has a strong spirit, is actually a fragile person and has a constant fear of haunting her.
"Did you have a past that you kept hidden all along before you became Jasver's secret admirer, and because you couldn't reveal it you chose to write on your novels to calm yourself down?" Carla asked in the end trying to figure out what was really going on.
Carren smiled faintly with a deep meaning, and before long the crying she had been trying to hold back, now she couldn't hold it back anymore.
Small sobs began to sound louder than before. Carren's cries broke.
Carla was busy rubbing Carren's back gently trying to stop Carren's painful cries.
'Ah... you had a bitter experience apparently, could that young man be a fearful memory that haunts you? Do I need to find out about the boy so I can help Carren?' Monologue Carla considers what she wants to do.
"Carla, will one day when I finish my novel you will leave me?" asked Carren unexpectedly in the midst of sobs.
Without thinking long enough to please Carren, Carla said that she would not just leave her, after all, she could still meet as usual like now if she was in a dream right?
That's what Carla finally gave to Carren.
'I don't know Carren to what extent I can coexist with you like this, I hope you are always happy, with me or without me.'
