Oliver had made himself at home.
He grudgingly accepted that the fire had a hand in keeping him awake especially after he witnessed the rate at which the wood was being consumed.
He had sent Chin-hae a text, he was yet to reply. Oliver then decided to make an acquaintance with the home.
He had established it was a wealthy residence, the homely design was a timeless classic inspiration with antique teak sofa sets in the den. The light from the fireplace cast a warm glow on the rest of the furniture.
Oliver was hungry, he wandered into the kitchen and rummaged through a well stacked fridge. He ate more than he had in three days, wandered some more into the house, discovered more coal and wood for the fire, rested.
He discovered the house had a total of six self-contained rooms, a study, a home theatre, a double garage that he had no access to unless he broke in.
Oliver came to the conclusion of carrying the old lady out in the patio in, next to the fire place. Oliver was certain, she would be horrified as soon as she awoke to find a stranger in her home. The images the old lady whacking his head relentlessly using her wooden cane on his heels when she woke up plagued him that he left the cane outside.
He would work towards making the lady reason first.
Idle, with nothing much to do. Oliver's brown eyes focused on the orange flames as they licked up the wood. He was thinking, thinking, thinking and at that moment, it all came to him.
He gasped at the intrusion of his memories and emotions bustling to the surface, he remembered his accomplished career, the loneliness he had felt throughout the years, his accumulated wealth.
Oliver allowed his mind to wander back to the dream. He frowned wondering what was it's use.
Then it hit him like a ton of bricks.

Chin-hae whistled, he had no idea of how to help Oliver. He could tell his repetitive dream was as a result of something that had occured in his past.
Well, after a combined brainstorm, they had established that fact.
Oliver had past grudges and whoever this Martha was needed an apology.
Chin-hae:
Do you know where she is ?
Oliver_thee_astronaut:
No. I cut ties with her long ago.
Chin-hae was feeling bold and so he just did it:
Chin-hae:
Do tell, what's your biggest problem ?
Oliver_thee_astronaut:
Should be explanatory, this damn gas !
Chin-hae:
No, I mean your personal life problem ?
Oliver_thee_astronaut:
Why ? How's that relates to this ?
Chin-hae:
It may be tied to the dream.
