From Fanatsy to Fate

Truth Quest

As Ava slowly emerged from her deep slumber, she found herself feeling disoriented and dizzy. Uncertain of her surroundings, she called out for her mother, hoping for some reassurance. Her mother quickly entered the room, concern etched on her face, and asked if Ava was okay. Sensing her daughter's confusion, she gently advised Ava to freshen up, hoping that it would help restore a sense of clarity.
After indulging in a long, refreshing shower, Ava emerged from the bathroom feeling rejuvenated. The warm water had washed away the remnants of her restless night, leaving her with a renewed sense of energy. As she made her way to the kitchen, the enticing aroma of her mother's cooking greeted her, instantly whetting her appetite.

Ava's mom had prepared a spread of delicious and nutritious breakfast options. The table was adorned with an array of colorful fruits, freshly baked bread, and a steaming pot of her favorite herbal tea. With a grateful smile, Ava eagerly dug into the delectable feast. Each bite was a delight to her taste buds . The vibrant fruits provided a burst of sweetness, while the warm bread offered a comforting and satisfying texture. As she savored each mouthful, Ava couldn't help but feel a sense of gratitude for her mother's culinary skills.
The combination of nourishing ingredients and the love infused into the meal left Ava feeling not only physically satisfied but also emotionally uplifted. Breakfast became more than just a meal.
With each bite, Ava felt a renewed sense of strength and resilience, ready to face the day ahead with a full heart and a satisfied stomach.

Ava's mother, noticing that Ava seemed to be feeling better, sat down next to her and gently inquired about everything that had been happening. She wanted to understand the source of Ava's distress and the dreams that had been haunting her.
With a mixture of relief and vulnerability, Ava opened up to her mother, pouring out the details of her recent experiences. She recounted the encounter with Alex at college, the vivid dreams that featured him, and the unsettling disappearance that followed. Ava also shared the mysterious dream she had of her grandmother, who seemed to hold many secrets.

As Ava spoke, her mother listened attentively, her eyes filled with compassion and understanding.
Ava's mother reassured her that it was natural to be shaken by such experiences .
Her mother, with a soothing tone, explained to Ava that the dreams were just nightmares and a reflection of her longing for her grandmother. She wanted to ease Ava's worries and suggested that they plan a visit to grandma or arrange a phone call to bring her presence closer. She promised to visit or call grandma soon to make Ava feel better.

Ava: Mom, I really believe these dreams are clues about Alex's disappearance. I can't just ignore them.

Mom: Ava, please, let's focus on reality and leave these silly ideas behind. It's important to stay grounded.

Ava: But mom...

Mom: Ava, I understand you're concerned, but let's try to move on from this dreamy world. How about we plan a picnic instead? We can invite Emma and her mom too. It'll be a fun distraction for all of us.

Ava: I get that you want me to move on, but these dreams feel significant to me. Can we at least talk about it?

Mom: I understand you're invested in these dreams, but let's focus on the present. A picnic with Emma and her mom could be a great way to take our minds off things.

Ava silently nods her head and calls Emma for the picnic. Emma's mom, who happens to work with Ava's mom in the same office, picks up the call and says, "Sorry, dear, I can't come. I have to complete some office work." She also asks Emma to remind Ava's mom about completing the files that need to be submitted.
Ava quickly informs her mom about what Emma's mom said. In a moment of realization, Ava's mom exclaims, "Oh no, I completely forgot about it!" Feeling guilty, she suggests, "Sweetie, let's postpone the picnic for now. But here's an idea: why don't you and Emma go for an outing and have a wonderful time together? I really can't make it due to my work commitments."
