“You've heard things you shouldn't have heard!”
“So, get over!!”
GREPP
KHEEEKK
“To ..long...”.
“TOLOOONGG!!”
“Nona! Miss what's wrong?!”
Lela's panicked voice called out to me who was sitting on the bed.
“Lela?” I looked confused as to why Lela was in my room at night.
But when I looked at the window it was already bright.
“After morning?”
“True miss, did miss have a bad dream?” Lela moved away from the edge of my bed and walked up to the small table to grab a glass.
“Argh” I pinched my head that was a little dizzy from waking up all of a sudden.
“Please drink first miss” Lela instillation glass filled with water.
I received a glass and gulped it down the toilet.
“Hah, I'm so thirsty. It was like running around Citayam” I muttered slowly.
“Circular Citayam?” Beo Lela's.
“Ah don't forget” I returned that empty glass to Lela.
It hurts, why my neck hurts. I touched my neck.
“What does miss have a bad dream?”
I nodded though unsure, my brain still trying hard to remember the dream I just had.
“Looks like I had a bad dream again, and Lela I've been dreaming the same thing for the past three nights” I'm me.
“Same dream for three nights, what kind of dream is miss?“
“I— I was strangled by a man and his words are always the same” I touched my neck and remembered the words of the man in my dreams.
“You've heard things you shouldn't have heard!”
“So, get over!!”
“She choked me very strongly, until I asked for help even my voice could not come out” I spoke with a floating mind.
“What was that because lady was mengingau kataa please?”
Lela nodded “True miss, because hearing the lady ask for help I intend to wake the lady. But miss has woken up first”
“Nona delirious ask for help and keep pressing the part of miss's neck, does it hurt?” Lela looked at the part of my neck that was not covered.
I touched the skin of the neck and shook my head “No pain” My answer.
“Thank God if it doesn't hurt” Lela breathes a sigh of relief.
“But—the dream feels very real Lela. As if I've experienced it myself”
Like deja vu.
“Emm—saf before her miss, it's possible that miss was carried away with a dream because of Ruby?” officials Guess Lela.
“Ah right! I feel exactly the same, giggling the man in the dream—same as Ruby officials did some time ago” Excited me.
“Maybe it is because the lady is still carried away by the unpleasant feeling until it imprints in the mind of the lady and causes trauma. Sorry this lady is just a guess servant just” said Lela disinclined.
No, I'm sure it's not because of the trauma. In the real world even I have experienced more severe violence than just being choked but not once carried away by dreams. Plus this dream continues to repeat itself up to three times.
The man in the dream felt familiar, like I knew him but had no idea who.
And, those words were familiar to me as if I had heard them before. But as far as I can remember, neither in the real world nor in the world of this novel has anyone ever said that to me.
The feeling of fear, panic, guilt and pain felt so real that I thought that the dream was a piece of real memory.
Is that dream a piece of Roseanne's real memory!?
“Nona Anne!”
Lela's voice managed to jolt me from the daydream.
“Ha?“ Answer me cengo.
“Do you feel good, or do I need to call a doctor to check on miss?”
I shook my head “No need Lela, can you leave me alone? I want to rest a little while longer” Pinta I drove Lela away.
“Well miss, I stand guard just call if miss needs something” Lela looks down for a while and walks out.
BRACKET
I lay staring blankly back at the ceiling of the room, while my rooted brain connected some of the possibilities I found.
If the dream is true the original Roseanne Weasly memory piece, then who is the man who strangled her?
Is it Ruby's office?
...👑👑👑...
Who could have guessed, who was the man in Anne's dream?
