Stolen Heart, Endless Dream

CHAPTER 2

Funny how there's a researched about the repeating dreams. 'The science shows that recurring dreams may reflect the unresolved conflicts in the dreamer's life.' (Knowledge from sciencealert.com). I guess it is true. But what are those conflicts that I have in the past that were unresolved with the guy in my dream? What is our relationship for the matter of fact? Is it just a coincidence? Or is it the real lufe that I had been lived before and the memories of it is coming back to me?

Those questions keep lingering in my mind and I can't get it out. The more I try to forget, the more frequent it comes to me in my dream.

+++Last Night+++

Papa was invited to a party that was held by the Viscount for celebration of his son coming back from the war . As to congratulate, papa brought all of us to the party.

"My dear wife, the viscount just invited me to the party to celebrate his son coming home. And he asked me to bring you and children to the party as well." Papa told Mama, her face lighten up with excitement.

"Dear grace. How wonderful is that. Now, when is the party shall be held?" Mama asked while she's busy looking for a suitable gown for the party.

"Four days after the letter sent. No worry my wife. I have prepared the money for you and the girls to buy a new gowns. I would like Hazel to be the diamond in a rough during the party. I heard that the viscount's son still unmarried." Papa wanted me to charmed the viscount's son? At the party?

Oh, how exciting to meet that guy. "Mama, papa. Sorry, I eavesdropped you on your discussion. I just want to know who the son is. May I know his name, Papa?" I bravely asked Papa about his name and papa just shaked his head, ignoring me.

"Just you wait at the party, darling. Papa is sure that he'll ask you for a dance." Papa looked so sure that he'll ask me to dance.

"Now, dear. Let's go to bed because tomorrow, you and your sister will be joining me to the town to buy a new gowns for you ladies. Now, off to bed." Mama urges me to go to bed.

The sun is bright and the birds chirped sound gracefully in the morning, awaked me from my sleep. A good sleep. This afternoon, Mama tagged us along with her to the town to buy new gowns for the party tomorrow night. I feel quite nervous. Nervous about the party because it is my first party. Nervous of meeting the viscount's son. Nervous about everything.

"Girls. We're arrived." Mama looked so excited for tomorrow. She so eagered to doll us up for the party. She excited about everything.

"Welcome, Lady Bryce. May I know what to assist you for?" The shopkeeper assisted us as we looked for a good gowns for us. "Well, I would like to mmhave my two young lads to try on your most best dazzling dress here." Mama excitedly informed the shopkeeper to have his most dazzling gowns to try on.

After for a long time of searching and trying the gowns, my eyes suddenly fell in to that one dress that was still untouched. It was a light pinky peach dress covered in a runched bows and with full crinoline-supported skirt. I saw the dress and I fell in love with it on a first sight.

"Sir, may I try that dress on the mannequin at the very end of the corner? I saw that you never brought it out to us for a test. Is it because you didn't want to on purpose or you just forget about the dress?" I asked not noticed that I sounded hard on him.

"Forgive me, my lady. I do not noticed that the dress was there. I'm sorry." He bowed down as he apologised and made his way to the dress. "Here, my lady. You may try this dress. This dress was made from silk. The bodice of this dress with its wide bertha collar that sits off the shoulder and covers half of the arms. It should look good on you, my lady. You have a perfect figures for this dress." He said. I smiled as he handed me the dress and I tried it on.
