"Mom, I will tell you. Vince and I, we like each other. I'm saying this not to get your approval but to not lie to you. I'm sorry Mom. I know you would feel disappointed in me. I am mature enough to make my own decision. I remembered my childhood past. Vince and I already talked about it, and he understands everything even about her parents. I was already punished and forgiven. I don't want to blame myself because it wasn't my fault for having a puerile mind." She can't believe it, this is not yet the time to tell her mom about her relationship with Vince. But her mom's ear was like a dolphin's. Her best friend suddenly excused herself and went home early to escape her mom's interrogation. Because she knows, she already saved her when she answered her mom's curious question since it was about her."But, I don't want you to be hurt in the end sweetheart. Vince is a kid who is not destined for you. Cara, he has this condition that specifically you can't be able to handle it if it is tr
“A dream is also a reality, a concealed power of the mind that incorporates the truth.” It's one of her convictions when she reflects on her dream from the past. She was smart young and naive when she vividly remembers a bizarre dream. In her dream, she met a strange boy she believed was her childhood playmate. He was a recluse and timid boy when she met him in her dreams. Her other playmates didn’t want to play with him because he was so sheepish that he would not speak to other children. Maybe just because the children bullied him and treated him like a deaf-mute as he always ignored them while he was outside playing alone. But he wasn’t a disabled child because he could speak normally. One time, he tried asking her to play with him. The reason she becomes his playmate. When they were alone playing, he had that cheerful and sweet boy character. And that character of his is the thing he shows only to her. His smile was like a sweet strawberry ice cream that made her thrilled. Ev
“You mean, this time is not a boy, but a grown man? Did you see his face?” Jean reacted curiously. “I didn’t. I was about to see his face but suddenly woke up. I tried going back to sleep to see his face but I couldn’t go back to my dream.” She replied to her friend with a gloomy face. “I think your childhood playmate just grew up already as a man. Maybe, it was him! Could you imagine? Your dream is unbelievable! But what I just thought is absurd. It can’t happen in reality unless he is real. So, don't mind me.” She’s kidding but right, it can’t happen in reality that the character in her dream will grow up like a human being. Maybe, her mind just assumed the boy had grown up also that’s why she dreamed of a grown man. “But hey, what do you mean by, unless he is real?” She frowned as she couldn't grasp her friend. “Oh, my conclusion is, still the same my dear. I’m sure of it, Cara, that boy had existed in your childhood memory. You had met him in the past but there is one ci
She is back in reality at school. “That was only a dream. A dream is not real.” She calmed herself while chanting it to forget the dream that she had. She has to move on with her life, so she must not remember it. “Hey dear, what’s up?” Jean joined her at her table at the cafeteria while she was taking her lunch break. “It’s still the same. But I don’t think this is good news, I met the face of the man in my dream yesterday. I have never seen his face in reality before, but he looks familiar. He told me in my dream that he was the little boy I met in the past. He grew up in my dream unbelievably.” She recited her dream so that Jean could help her in dealing with it. “I guess, you’re crazy!” But Jean just reacted impulsively. “No, I’m not. Just come to think of it. I thought you were a genius. How can you be slow-witted?” She thought Jean could have read her mind the moment she told her, but she couldn’t get her rationally. “I got you now. Are you thinking, you’re going to find the
She woke up feeling mesmerized. The feeling was genuine. It was more than just a thing. It was a memory that she couldn’t forget. Because the thing he just gave her before she left was a strange passionate kiss. She caught his face, questioning her. Then he walked closer to her. She felt his hand reached her face. She closed her eyes when she saw his face nearing closer to her. Then she felt his lips touching the tip of her nose, and a little later, his lips went down her lips like a lion devouring his meat. He paused and whispered in her ear. “This is the thing I wanted to give you before you leave. Remember me and I will live in your heart forever.” She still remembers every second that happened to her earlier in her dream. She thought she couldn’t bring the thing into the real world but when she came to think of it, it was like it happened in reality that it can’t erase in her memory even though she had to wake up from the strangest dream she had. She went back to the couch that
“This is for you. I want to give you chocolate because you are the only one who enjoys playing with me.” A boy said and gave her a piece of chocolate candy. He has a sweet smile and a boyish look. She kissed him on his cheek and returned him the sweetest smile. She again remembered this moment in her childhood dream. When she thinks about it. It was just a nice dream. But why did she think of it as if it happened and why did her parents make a big deal out of it just because she had tantrums and bullied her nanny? She doesn’t understand the whole thing that happened in her childhood days. She had this feeling that there was something in her past that her parents and her doctor did not tell her. “You said the dream I had is peculiar from the other cases you were studying. What do you mean by that?” “Yes, it is. The boy in your childhood dream had a clear picture, as well as the man in your present dream. It’s somewhat unusual because your mind remembers clear pictures of your drea
“Where are we going, Mister?” She asked him when she noticed their way to nowhere. “So you decided to call me Mister, huh?” He ignored her question and just reacted like he remembered the last time she said to him about giving him a nickname. “Nope! Answer my question first, “Where are we going?” She again repeated her question while ignoring his statement. “I’m calling you Mister because you are so mysterious to even have a nickname. So, why bother?” But she still explained her undefined reason for the sake of his hypnotizing charm even though she feel unsatisfied with him. “We’re here.” He just smiled sweetly and ignored her annoyed expression. They stopped walking suddenly. She looked around the place and was amazed by nature's beauty. This place is just a paradise. She didn’t notice it at first because her eyes were staring at the man who had been holding her hand. “Where are we?” she asked again, but to herself only with a curious reaction. She explored herself in the place
“Hey, what are you staring at? Do I have something funny on my face?” She asked him when she noticed him staring at her face while smiling. “Did I tell you that, you’re so pretty? Um, I was just adoring your pretty face earlier. I was into you the first time I met you and until now, honestly.” He said straightforwardly, like a genuine man that knows how to flatter a woman. “I want to believe it, but you are just a dream. But thanks, anyway.” She felt kind of sad that she knows that this is not the reality. She is just only dreaming. “This is not a typical dream of yours, Cara. I’m really in your heart.” He said as he read her thoughts. She stared at him blankly and thinks again. She wants to be with him longer than she thinks about it and doesn’t want to wake up anymore. “Wake up and find me.” She suddenly stopped thinking and looked at him curiously as he replied in her thoughts again. Still not talking to him nor reacting to his words, she continued thinking. She stared away fro
"Mom, I will tell you. Vince and I, we like each other. I'm saying this not to get your approval but to not lie to you. I'm sorry Mom. I know you would feel disappointed in me.

"Cara, I have an idea for you to make Vince play with you alone and leave him after. I know a good place." "How do we get there? Do you want to come with us? I'm not sure if I can leave Vince alone. He's my friend, after all.""Look over there! See that big cave? If you can get Vince to go there, you can play with him as much as you want. He might even want to be alone after that. I won't be able to come with you, but I can give you directions. You're a smart princess, I'm sure you'll find your way back here quickly." Will is plotting something for Cara's unsuspecting mind. Vince already anticipates that at any minute she will approach him to carry out Will's deceitful scheme. He turned back quickly to disguise himself from their conversation as he heard them talking about him. A minute later, Cara went to him running her tiny little feet wearing her cute sandals."Hey Vince, let's go on an adventure! I found an awesome place we can explore together. Are you in?""How do you know t
"I don't want to end this." She whispered in her mind when Vince ceased for a moment. Like a wild tigress, she drew him with her alluring play. Unlike those memories in the past that her mind brought, what they are doing right now is not in her wildest hopes to happen. This is very new to her. The emotion she feels rages inside her like a beautiful disaster blasting suddenly. "Oh please, penalize me." She again whispered but in his ear, permitting him to do what he had to from the start of his zeal. She offered herself to him. They filtered those negatives and allowed themselves to give in to their bursting emotion. Allowing themselves to be driven by each other's embrace is the cure for all the wounds they had in the past. She now had this feeling of blaming their parents for what they incurred in their minds because of that thoughtless remorse. Even when she remembered, everything that happened wasn't their fault. Reminding herself of selfishness is not her thing anymore. When she r
She felt uneasy after reading the text sent by the man, who made her heart feel empty just recently. She thought Vince had already cut their connection when he talked to her the last time. And as far as she remembers, they were as good as strangers again when he avoided her every moment she ran into him. Nevertheless, she still found her way to him again when her feet brought her to the hidden room at the library. She looked like she was hypnotized after she read his message. Perhaps she admits to herself that she is missing him. Heading her stride like a fool walking near the end section of the library, she is excitedly feeling nervous. A mixed emotion is raging inside her. She was going inside the hidden room when she sensed a strange atmosphere. She saw Vince on his back and quickly turned around when he heard her footsteps as she entered the room. She suddenly remembered the eyes of someone who was the reason for her fainting from the last time she had been hospitalized. She wa
He headed straight to the cafeteria when he learned her sister was proving her way to bug him much more than he expected. She made an effort by texting him that she was having lunch with Cara. He was planning to come home early, but he felt uneasy about her sister exhibiting her brat-like attitude toward Cara. Looking from afar while walking near them, he saw them looking familiar to each other, but he sensed Cara's face looked like she was just being nice to her sister's undefined character. As if she already knows how to handle her. "I knew you'll find it hard to make friends here easily knowing your snot character, my dear sister. My appreciation for Cara because she could accommodate your type." He bluntly remarked on her sister the instant he went near their table. He was very annoyed by his thoughts of her sister's hidden plans. "Hey, your words!" But Cara understood his words clearly like a harsh brother to her sister. "It's alright Cara, my brother and I are so close enou
Mrs. Perez remembered realizing everything that happened in the past is not her daughter’s fault. It was because of the kid. She remembered Will’s dad, Mr. Anderson, who was sorry to justly revealed and explained to her then about the real condition of his nephew which resulted in his parents’ accidental death. The reason she prevented Cara from getting close to Vince after she learned about what happened in the past. And the reason, she gave her condition to his family was for her to accept her daughter’s fault in the accident. Thus, the real reason she’s still in contact with the Anderson family is for her daughter’s own good. “I thought you made a promise, for my daughter’s sake. What happened to that condition?” “What do you mean?! You know, Vince is not our family anymore. We already cut our connection to him as one of your conditions, for everyone’s sake.” “I wasn’t the one who sold him. Your family was the one who sold him because of his parents’ debt. I didn’t expect you to
“Hey, Vinci!” He knew it. His world will be a mess again because of her. She always annoys him. But he found himself still walking near her table with his today’s lunch. Or maybe he just wants to warn her about being his clingy sister. “From now on, you are not my sister.” Her eyes sparkled like she was waiting for the moment that he will finally cut their connection from each other. He thought, she adores him as her older brother, but why does she look very happy? “Okay. I will tell Dad that we are not siblings anymore because you are now my boyfriend.” As if she can tell it. Her sister is all bluff. He knows her very much to think that she is the more childish. He ignored her and begin to swallow his spoon full of rice and a piece of fried chicken as his viand. “I am not kidding. Since no one knows that you are an adopted son of the school director here. And no one knows that I am his daughter. You can be my fiancé.” She lowered her voice for the reason that others might hear them
“From now on, I am your dad and she is your mom. We are your family now. Forget everything bad that happened in your past. Only remember the good memories with your real parents who gave birth to you. It’s the only thing we cannot change for you. You are only seven-year-old but I know you understand what I mean since you are a smart kid.” The memory he recalled was when his foster dad talked to him the first time after he went with them as his new family. As he also wanted to forget everything that had happened in the accident with his real parents, he followed his dad’s word for him to escape from it. He can’t admit to himself that it was his fault. And his inner side was blaming someone he also treasured from his childhood memories. When he realizes now, he undeniably forgot everything in the past for him to save, condemning the person from his subliminal dark ego. And this person he aimed to blame for his parents’ unfair death is the person he’s still longing to be with, even agai
“You’re going to meet my very first childhood friend. I remember her. The only friend I have before I became your brother.” He finally dared to admit to himself that he forgot his real childhood memories and Cara had a great part of it. And his sister on paper, Lizzy, who’s just arrived from abroad, will be his starting point to speak to her. “At last! I’ve been wanting my whole damn life to meet one friend of yours. Does she know you’re the son of the school’s director? Although I’m the real child of them, you were the first child of our parents the moment they adopted you.” He already knows what she’s thinking as if he knows how their conversation going to end. “That’s why I need you to not be yourself if you meet her, got it?” Because he dislikes her character of being noisy and childish. “Do you like her? You know I can’t shut my mouth when I’m being excited.” That he was expecting. “I’m begging you, please, my pretty little sister?” He implored like a real sweet older brother.
