Eternal love: whispers of destiny

Ara's POV

Large grass field. Vast blue sky. This is beautiful. I am lying on an open grass field surrounded by huge trees. The sun beams down, casting long shadows across the expanse of green.

The gentle rustling of leaves in the trees provides a soothing melody, while the occasional bird chirps in the distance. The air is fragrant with the scent of wildflowers. I close my eyes and breathe in deeply, savoring the peacefulness of this scene.

This is a place where I have no worries. So peaceful.

This is paradise.

But wait...

Something feels off.

I looked around and realized I was not in my room. I came from the hospital, then I went to rest in my room.

How in the world did I get here? What is this place? Where the hell am I?

I stood up and looked here and there. Am I alone here?

"Hello? Anyone's here?" I shouted.

But the only response was the distant rustling of leaves, which seemed to grow louder and closer with each passing moment. My heart began to race as I turned towards the sound, my senses on high alert.

The rustling grew louder still, until I could see the dry leaves shifting and swirling in the breeze. I felt a shiver run down my spine as I stood frozen, my eyes fixed on the spot where the rustling was coming from.

"Who's there?" I demanded, trying to keep my voice steady. But there was no answer.

Is someone there? I am scared. What if it is a wild animal? What if it is a bear? I gasped and remained at my place. I heard that bears don't attack if we pretend to be dead. Should I lay down? How the hell did I even end up here?

As I was thinking about what I should do, I saw a girl walking out of the dark woods with a flower basket in her hand. I wanted to ask her about this place but she passed through me as if I were a ghost.

She sat down near the flowerbed, her pastel pink gown fluttering around her, and began collecting flowers while humming a soft melody. She was happy.

But as she stood up, her gaze locked onto mine, and I felt a jolt of surprise. She looked like an older version of me with the same features yet... different.

Who was she? What was this place?

As she moved to walk away, I wondered if she could see me. But then she spoke after passing me, her voice stern and commanding. "You are not welcome here, Ara."

She turned towards me and continued, "What are you doing here? This is my place, and you can't just come here whenever you want to." Her eyes flashed with a warning, and I felt a shiver run down my spine.

I saw her eyes changing their lights. She is not happy anymore. She is not pleased to see me. Her eyes seemed to bore into mine, and I felt a sense of discomfort wash over me.

Why is she talking to me like that? I don't even know why and how am I here?
