ALORA
He is here. That dream guy is here.
No, I mean the guy who comes in my dream is here.
His presence feels somewhat familiar to me as if I know him very well.
I won't let him go this time. Every time he asked me to wait for him in my next dream and then won't come.
Therefore, this time I have to catch him before he can run away from me again.
He is sitting on a couch in a dark room. The room is not painted black, it is dark because there is no light.
He wants me to come inside. He is calling for me.
"Darkness is your friend, you said. Then why are you afraid to come inside?" He said without turning to me.
"Come here."
I am standing outside of the room while the door is fully open. So, I stepped in and walked towards him.
No matter how many times I have seen him in my dreams, I never get to see his face.
He talks to me very sweetly. Very softly. He is also very friendly to me. Although he is unknown to me, still I feel like I have known him for decades.
I don't even know why.
However, I don't understand what it is between us. Something I am aware of and also unfamiliar with at the same time.
As I came near the person, I sat on the couch beside him. His face remained covered in darkness.
"I want to tell you something, Alora." He said without looking at my face.
"You never told me your name. Still you said you are my friend. Who are you?" I asked him instead.
I can only glance at his eyes that are shining bright in this darkness. He kept his gaze on the wall before us.
"You also told me that you are my friend, still you hid your real self from me. Why?"
I was stilled by that.
"W-what do you mean?"
"The real Alora." He said in a low tone. "I want to know the real you."
Suddenly it felt as if I was a criminal. His words are meant as if I am a serial killer who is hiding her real identity from the world.
"I don't understand- "
He cut me off, "Won't you tell me even if I say that I love you?"
Just like that, I was dumbfounded in my place. I tried to swallow his words but somehow a thought came into my mind saying it's illegal.
This conversation is not right. Why not? I don't know. It's just not.
"I love you, Alora." I blinked. "I love you so much." But he didn't stop claiming to love me.
"You- you... love me?" The words stuttered in my lips.
"Do you have a doubt about it?"
No. No way. This is not right.
How could he claim to love me when I don't even know him well enough to trust him.
"I-I don't even know... your name." I tried to say no to him but couldn't.
The proper words weren't ready to come out of my mouth. Something inside me tightened to reject him.
Although I am feeling guilty about his confession, I am also feeling speechless by his words.
