The Dream
Author:
Brenda saw him for first time in that music video which debuted him. Mark Wild, the one and only prince of the world. Every girl's dream hubby. He became the dream hubby of Brenda Hills too.
The eight years old Brenda neither had a recorder to record his songs nor she had any instrument to saw his live performance. She waited 12 years to hear the only debuted song of Mark. But who knows that she'll gonna be his girl someday.
On a fine Sunday morning, she found herself standing in front of a rare house in a strange place. Countryside village alike place, where she could only see a few more garden of flowers and some small animals.
That place was quite pretty and looks like a fairyland. She couldn't control her Curiosity and walk forward to the vintage house. A quite cute and beautifully designed house, like a castle in the wood.
"Hello, pretty lady." somebody suddenly called her from behind. She turned behind and saw a handsome guy standing, wearing a dress like a cowboy. She tried to look him more closely through her cute spectacle. It was Mark Wild!
"Welcome to Wishland. This is my house." Mark Wild said. "Mark Wild!! What are you doing here? The news says you've gone to the mountains for hiking." Brenda shouted in excitement. "Can I have your autograph or a selfie with you?" she pulled out her phone and tried to take a picture with him.
That guy got surprised. He never saw a smartphone. "Dear lady, I think you've mistaken me for someone else. My name I'd Edwin Doyle and I'm a farmer."
Brenda got surprised in his introduction. Farmer? Mark is not a farmer! "What did you said this place's name? Wishland?" she confusingly asked him.
"Yes. Let's get into my house first." he took her into his house. The house looks quite fascinating. Edwin told her to take a seat and be comfortable at his home.
Brenda was still in a surprise. He looks just like him, Mark Wild. Only the name is different and the environment where she was too.
After a while later, Edwin came back with a bouquet of red roses. Brenda thought may be he is a florist and wanted to give his guest a bouquet of roses.
In moment or so, Edwin kneel down in front of her and presented a ring made with some wired small leaves. "Merry me and be my queen" he spoke.
Brenda got stunned. How could someone ask for marriage with a person he met two minutes ago? Brenda felt so happy that a man look alike Mark, is proposing to her. But she also knows that he isn't the real person she wants.
"Are you sure? We only met two minutes ago!" she asked with a bit hesitation. "It doesn't matter. I know you from my childhood and I waited for you of my whole life."
Was he drunk or something? How could he know me from the childhood? And waited for me all his life? He is surely a weird person. But she can't easily refuse him either because he is exactly like a angel, so handsome that she ever saw a boy before.
She slaps in her cheeks with her hands, "Get back to sense, Brenda." "Say yes please. I always waited for you coz I knew that you will come someday." he again started to speak his cheesy lines.
"I can't. I don't know you nor this strange place. How did I get here?" she said in excitement. She should've in her room right now, sleeping in her bed. How did she get into a weird place called 'Wishland'?
Edwin approached to her and said holding her hand, "It's fate. Our destiny had been entangled from the day we born. I always love you and I will until the day I die."
All his words had started to give her goosebumps. Why his attitude is like a saint? He has same face with Mark Wild but the characters are totally different.
Brenda has to get out of this place as soon as possible. This is not the place she should have stayed. But Edwin wasn't ready to let her go. He took her to a castle where everyone was bowing to him and called him as Crown prince Edwin.
" Bonjour, prince Edwin. Bonjour princess Brenda." a old man welcomed them to the castle and bowed. "What's the era is this?" she asked Edwin. "16th century."
Now all cleared. Brenda had stuck in the 16th century France. She don't understand what was happening and she don't want to know at all. She just want to go back to her own world.
She tried to escape from the castle many times and went to find out the entrance to get back to her home. But everytime Edwin captured her and forced her to marry him.
Three months had passed since she came. She had her smartphone with her and the dress which she was wearing while she came. But her phone is useless in that age and the cloths looked weird too, for those people's.
All she became like a prisoner for him. If he knows the way for her to get back to her world, then why he don't want her to know? He definitely know the way but he is a obsessive prince who captured her to be his queen.
Brenda got tired of his those attitudes. There were many girls in his country who were willing to marry him. But he only wants her to be his queen.
Slowly and steadily Brenda started to regret about the previous herself. She was also that kind of a obsessive fan for Mark. May be she shouldn't have to hope for being the celebrity's girlfriend and only be a fan forever.
Somedays later she decided to roam around in market. "You must take Mr. Defrancos with you." he ordered her to take the old butler with her. Really became a queen now even before marriage.
Alright. She can do the least. In the market everyone was mumbling about the castle talks. She found it was actually they were mourning upon her being kept in that castle.
"What a pity! She agreed to stay with the prince without being aware that he is a psychopath and already killed 12th of his wives." a woman whispered. "She fall for him at the first sight too. His looks really killing girls." another woman replied.
She hadn't fall for him nor she agreed to stay with him. So her destiny is like, she'll gonna die in the hand of the man who looks like her beloved idol. What a ironic coincidence!
Suddenly the market had gone excited. Brenda couldn't get the sudden change of situation. She saw that some assassins attacked the area. "Lady, what are you waiting for? Run if you wanna keep your head on your neck." a young guy told her and gone disappeared in the crowd. That was rude but he was right.
Brenda wanted to leave that place soon but Mr. Defrancos was missing for a long moment. She couldn't stand there long and started to run.
Wishland was a crazy place. Everything was so sudden in there and now that assassin attack. Finally she found a good place to hide herself. Two assassins followed her but luckily they couldn't catch her. "What if we can't finish our job? Prince Edwin ordered us to kill the guy who dares to approach lady Brenda." one of the assassins was asking the other. "We have to kill him." the other replied.
At that moment, Brenda realized that the guy who informed her about the assassins, was beside her. He looks quite familiar but Brenda couldn't remember who was he. "You have to leave me." the guy said.
"I won't leave you alone. You saved my life." "You have to. They'll gonna kill me anyway. The prince is merciless." that boy said and left her alone. The assassins followed him and captured him.
After sometimes, the assassins captured her too and took her to the castle. Edwin was there. The assassin group represented her and the boy in front of Edwin. "You refused to be my queen but wanna be his woman. Why you betrayed me?"
What on earth he was talking about? He didn't wait for her answer and ordered the head assassin to kill the guy. "Stop. Don't kill him.He is innocent." she immediately spoke.
"Tell me what secret you are hiding." Edwin ordered her. She now have to tell him everything. "I'm not a person of Wishland. I came here from a different age...21st century. You resembles my idol Mark Wild that's why I got confused at the first. But now I know that you're not him. So I refused to marry you." she explained everything.
She said that she can't be with a prince who runs a assassin's group and ordered his own people to kill them. Edwin listened to her but the assassins can't hear a word against their lord. A girl assassin came forward and tried to kill the guy.
Brenda immediately come forward to protect the guy but she got stabbed by that lady assassin. "You stupid girl. I even sacrifice my man for you but you wanna betray him and protect this poor guy?" the girl said.
"What have you done?" Edwin immediately stood up from his place and run towards Brenda to save her. That girl assassin became so violent and wanted to stab Brenda again but Edwin came forward and fight with her.
Brenda lost consciousness and she opened her eyes after two days. "Brenda, you're awake." Edwin greeted her first. He saved her. He told her now that he believe her and will help her to find her way back to her world.
This time, for the first and last, he don't want her to capture. Brenda asked Edwin about the guy and he told that the guy is safe. He had returned to his place.
Now Brenda saw the real Mark Wild inside of Edwin. She couldn't resist her and said, "I can't have Mark in my life but I have you now beside me." "What are you referring to?" Edwin asked back.
"Can I kiss you?" she said.
Edwin pulled her closer and kiss her.
"Brenda? Brenda.Wake up." someone else was calling her. She opened her eyes and found herself in her bed. "How long will you gonna sleep?" her mother said.
She glanced at her clock. It's late. She hurried and went to her part-time work. She works in a cafe before going to her class and after coming back from class.
The whole day she felt embarrassed about having such a silly nightmare. But that felt so real. "Hey, hurry up. There's a special guest here today." her colleague said.
In a moment, the door bell rang and the door got opened. Mark Wild entered into the cafeteria. Brenda got stunned.
Mark walked forward her and ask her to go out with him. She pinched her cheeks to confirm if she was still inside of her dream. No, that's real. "Why-why you wanna me to go out with you?" she asked him.
"Cause you saved my brother from those assassins." Mark answered.
What assassins he are talking about? Then his brother come inside. "Bro, she's a real heroine." his brother said.
Now, Brenda realised why she felt the guy seems familiar in her dream. It was Mark's brother. Bob Wild. "Hello, Brenda. We meet again. In reality." Bob said.
"You refused me in the dream. Don't refuse me in reality." Mark said and winked at her. Why are they saying about the dream thing again and again? How come they know about her dream?
"How could you guys know about my dream?" she asked anxiously. "Because we were too in that dream as Edwin and that guy." Bob said. So they also had the same dream? That's incredible.
Brenda agreed. They never met in real life. But Mark met her in the dream. He said her that though he is an idol, he never thought that he'll meet her lady like that and turns out her to be one of his fan. That was the Wishland where everyone's wish became true.
