On a sunny Sunday, there was a girl named Laurent. Laurent was the daughter of a man named Nick. Nick locked Laurent up in a dark basement, but luckily there was a window that gave Laurent some relief.
"It's only the 20th day" Laurent complained because she was actually locked up by law and would be opened on the 50th day.
"Laurent, you are being punished for breaking papa's favorite things, and because you were born your mama died, remember that."
"Dad, forgive me. I also never asked to be born in this world" Laurent said while kneeling and crying, but Laurent's arm was pulled by Nick and he was forcibly put into the basement.
"Stay here for 50 days, I'll give you food every day but don't come out!"
"Bruuk" the sound of the door being shut tightly.
"Hiks... hiks... what did I do wrong" Laurent said while crying. But the incident did not break Laurent's spirit. He immediately opened the dusty window curtains wide. Then Laurent cleaned the place using the available items until it was clean and comfortable. And there happened to be a big book for Laurent to write day by day.
Back to day 20
Today Laurent exercised using his memory of the exercise movements he had learned. After exercising Laurent had a drink and a shower, and soon it was getting late Laurent climbed up on a chair and looked at the moon and stars in the vent.
"Wow, the moon is so beautiful, sometimes she is accompanied by stars, sometimes she is alone in the night sky," Laurent thought.
After looking at the moon, Laurent went to bed without closing the window curtains.
Laurent slept lit only by a candle lantern.
That night Laurent dreamt of a handsome man holding his hand while he was being scolded by his father.
"Are you okay Laurent?"
Laurent immediately hugged the man without knowing who he was and told him everything that happened. The man vaguely seemed to soothe Laurent who was crying on his shoulder which was now soaking his clothes. Why was Laurent moving and crying in the dream? It was because he was having a Lucid Dream. It should be noted that Laurent's mother died when Laurent was just born, and she was his only story. And now Laurent is 20 years old, Laurent also dropped out of school because he was too sad about the death of his beloved mother.
And now that Laurent is 20 years old, Laurent also dropped out of school because he was too sad about the death of his beloved mother.
The next day Laurent did his activities as usual but now his face which was always smiling cheerfully now turned into an expressionless human being and there was only a sad expression on his face.
"Yes, God sent me a message 'I love my mother for a long time. May mom always be happy"
"And why am I being given this suffering, God" then Laurent cried until his tears turned to blood. Laurent cried too much and her beautiful face never once shone.
Laurent, who had been praying and crying on her bed, fell asleep.
That night Laurent dreamed that she was drinking tea in a beautiful garden and she saw the same man from the previous dream. Laurent was surprised and immediately asked
"Who are you? And why do you know my name?"
"Actually I'm your lover James in the real world. I was forgotten by you because you were sick, day after day I waited for you but I had a heart attack."
"So why am I in the dream world?"
"Your body in the real world is lifeless because it was killed by your father and God gave us a chance to meet again even though, in the dream world".
"Laurent, we can live happily in the dream world forever together. Wipe your tears" said James as he wiped Laurent's tears with his hand that touched Laurent's bruised cheek.

Before Laurent was locked up
"Laurent. Sorry I'm late, are you cold?"
"Yeah I'm a little cold"
"Then just wear my jacket"
"Oh, thanks James. This is so warm!"
"You're welcome ."
"James,Hold my hand . I've attached hand warmers"
