The dream I forgot.

...*Tick tock tick tock*...

........................

...''Crack''...

A sudden sound made me awake from my deep sleep. I opened my eyes and was rubbing them . Then I looked around to see the watch . I saw it's midnight . And I looked at my friend's and they were sleeping peacefully. Of course they were exhausted after my birthday party . So seeing them sleeping was not a surprise. But someone wasn't there , Yang wasn't there. Then I heard a noise coming from the kitchen . I turned around towards the kitchen to see what happened and I saw Yang was in the kitchen . So I got up and went towards the kitchen for seeing what happened.

''Yang! What happened? What are you doing in the kitchen at midnight ? Why aren't you sleeping ?''

''Oh it's nothing. It's just , I had a nightmare which made me awake . And I got thirsty so I came to drink some water. But unfortunately a glass fall from my hand and got broke .''

''Oh so that sound was from that. Okay no worries. Let me give you a glass of water. But first let's clean the mess."

Yang nodded and said '' I will clean that .''

''What no. You don't have to do that . I am going to clean so relax.''

Yang thought for a second then again nodded. I smiled at him then clean the mess and gave him a glass of water.

'' Here you go .''

''Thank you.''

Yang drank the water and went to sleep again. I also drank a glass of water . But then I started to think about something and I started to spoke in my mind, ''Why I am feeling like I also had a nightmare? But I can't remember anything and my whole body hurts like hell. What the hell is happening and what hell I dreamed about. So frustrating. Okay whatever let's forget about that now . I should go and sleep too .''

And so I did. But at that time I didn't realize what I forgot. And forgetting about that dream was going to make the situation more complicated.

At the morning we got up early cuz Ali and Johan had something to do so they leave early. We were going to meet them at the school.

Then me , my mom , Crystal , Rony and Yang sat down for having breakfast together. But Yang was not eating anything.

''Yang ! What happened? Why are you not eating anything? Are you feeling unwell? Or do you not like the food I made? Tell me I will cook something else for you.'' My mom asked Yang with a worried look .

The rest of us exchanged glances, concern written all over our faces.

"Yang, if you don't like the food, just say so," I added.

"What ! No no , that's nothing like that . I really like this food . In fact I love the food. The food aunty made is really delicious . Also I am perfectly fine. So don't worry." Yang replied with a smile.

"But you haven't eaten a single bite," Mom said, still unconvinced.

"It's just I am still full from last night. The food you made last night was also amazing so I ate too much."

"Yes , aunty. Your cooking is amazing!" Rony said that with a cheerful voice.

"Ohh, don't flirt with your aunty, honey." Mom gave him a playful look. "You children knows that how much I love your uncle. And I know your uncle is gone abroad for one week for some work but I can't cheat him. So don't flirt with me."

I choked on my water.

"Cough cough."

"Alice ! Are you okay? Drink water slowly who is rushing you ?"

"Mom , you are rushing me. You are saying such embarrassing thing ."

"What do you mean ? Can't you see how amazing your mother is !" Mom gave me a proud look.

"Mom come on. Sigh."

Crystal then got up from her chair and threw her arms around my mom from behind. And said , "Yes our aunty is amazing. You just don't recognize how amazing aunty is. You are a foolish girl."

"Excuse me — foolish?!" I grabbed a knife from the counter. "Let's see who's the foolish one."

''Omg ! Aunty help, save me from this devil .''

... Haha ...

That's how we had our breakfast. It's always fun when we stay together. But when I looked at Yang I knew that Yang was hiding something behind his smile. And I got lost in my thoughts. I know Yang from childhood so I can tell when he is worried. And I also had a little, just little bit. Ummm,, actually I had a huge crush on Yang when we were child. And he was also my neighbor, my parents and his parents were really good friends too. So I always used to love spending time with him . We used to eat together , study together, even sleeping together. That's how close we were and I know him really well to the point that just by looking at him I can tell how he is feeling. And you guys don't miss understand me cuz now he is just my childhood good friend. I overcome those feelings . Cuz I thought that's the best thing to do for the sake of our friendship .

"Alice!!!"

I snapped back to reality. Rony was staring at me, eyes wide like a puppy's.

"Why do you look so startled? And why were you ignoring me?"

"I wasn't ignoring you. I was just thinking about something."

Out of nowhere, Crystal appeared behind me and dropped her hand on my shoulder, wearing that familiar teasing grin. "Oh? Were you thinking about something or someone special?"

I opened my mouth to respond, but stopped.

A strange feeling crept over me — like I had heard this exact conversation before. The words, the tone, Crystal's smirk. A sense of déjà vu so strong it made my head spin. But I couldn't place it. And the harder I tried to remember, the more my head began to throb. The pain built quickly, sharp and overwhelming, like a pressure behind my eyes that I couldn't push back. My vision blurred. My knees weakened, like my soul was leaving my body. It was a feeling I recognized — and yet, couldn't remember from where.

The world tilted, and slowly, my eyes fell shut on their own.
